We make a distinction between those | who hope that we will stay out and those | who insist and demand that we stay out. We cannot accept the theory that our national policies should be framed with only the single objective of peace at any price. We are afraid that if this is all that guides us | we will invite war later. There is no doubt that the world faces a decisive present, with the future depend- | ing largely upon the outcome of the strug- | gle now going on in Europe and Asia. resolutions of ., Will be charged for at entertainment by churches from which | derived 4 ents a line. n is an open forum and invites discus- blic issues and subjects of local or general | but it will not publish anonymous communi- | The mentally lazy confront everything | new and novel with hostility. | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN WILL always seck the truth and print it without fear and without favor; be afraid to attack wrong or to applaud right; always fight tor progress; never be the or- van or the mouthpiece of any person, clique, faction or class; always do its utmost for the public welfare; never tolerate corruption or injustice; denounce vice and praise virtue, comesend good done by individual or organ- ization; tolerant of others’ rights, views and opinions; print only news that will elevate and not contaminate the reader; never com- promise witn principle. never ~IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Water and’ Sewerage.

Certainly, no hope of peace can rest upon y vaith in Hitler’s words. ‘Upon what then can we rest a hope for peace? Is this nation so far away that no threat of attack is possible if the fortunes of war make Hitler suprerne in Europe and Japan predominant in the Far East If no other barrier stands between these aggres- sive nations and world power, except the United States, can we live at ease, content that they will not wantonly attack us?

THE CHURCH AS COMFORT The great task of civilization is the making of finer human beings. This is also the chief aim of Key West whether we al- ways realize it or not. Most people, we believe, want to be “good,” they want to do the right thing and, | in the great majority of cases, can be count- ed upon to do so. The mad rush of present day social and business life sometimes prevents us from an orderly advance upon this objective. At times, however, there comes breathing spells, in which individuals reflect upon life and plan for its betterment. Probably the greatest single agency for the advancement of mankind is the church. Those who gather in a temple of worship receive the advantage of calm, spiritual consideration of the things of the soul. These are the attributes of real growth. They should be nurtured by every human being. Going to church may, or may not, be a neces. to what is termed ‘‘salvation,” but it is a source of comfort and solace to mil- lions every week in the United States. If any reader of these columns does not try to a religious service regularly, we hope he will give some serious thought to the sub- ject, and participate in some form of wor- te ship. Unless the blaring sound-trucks, poli- tical and otherwise, stop assaulting our ears with raucous pleas and tone down, they may some day find a city ordinance to put them out of commission altogether. There are calmer, saner and better ways of advertising, | The world | | (Uptown) CHURCH Fleming at William Street Rev. W. R. Howell Church School meets at 9:45 a. m. Norman J. Lowe, superintendent.
