Wars are generally fought under the guise of an ideology. for trade It takes a true chivalrous spirit to make | cooperation with others possible. There are two forms of intelligences; | that of the brain and that of the heart. Education, like vaccination of the in- dividual, is a good thing provided it “takes.” The individual has to be taught to ap- | iate and support the better things of There is only one time for in- dividual to take a forward diately, any stride: imme- | Hardly any church needs any ticular individual but there are few dividuals who do not need a chureh. par- in- The very patience with which the peo- ples of the earth have submitted to domi- nation by a militaristic class, and their nation under the most unjust and cruel treatment, constitute the most powerful evidence of the innate peacefulness of man- kind, Lincoln, in his Gettysburg Address, is given credit for the first to use the quota- tion: “Of the people, by the people, for the people.” Actually the famous phrase 559 years old since it was used by John Wy- cliffe in introduction his nslation of the Bible is 1382 in his Senate Bill No. 399 is an Act making it unlawful to manufacture, own, store, keep, ’ lerrd. let, lease, give way, use or operate slot machines or simi- lar devices operated by coin or otherwise, This? on the statute beoks of Flor da but is disregarded in a number of cases n, Key West and so known to t itboritie: A number of the of this city sare deterr bandits n by be better ele ment well as some ofvaniza I the one-armed tior | and then turn back because it is | tached and driven to | ments in the vehicles | them.” THE INLAND WATERWAY Decision of Monroe commis- sioners to get Key West a place on the in- an county land waterway is a forward and im- portant step. This county for a number of years has been in the minority among Atlantic coast counties of Florida by remaining outside | the Florida Inland Navigation association, | and it has now become the only non-member among the 12 counties bordering the ocean. Consequently, as Chamber of Com- merce representatives explaind to the com- mission the other night, the inland water- way runs from New York to the northern end of Monroe county—and stops. Small boating has become one of the | great sports of the United States and, to a | municipality, is a much more | field for development than catering to the important few ocean-going yachts. Under the present setup, thousands of little cruisers make the rur from New York to Miami each year, come a little farther south to Bahia Honda, risky to make the trip outside to Key West. By joining the ation, county will remove the antagonism that has existed on this subject between it and other assoc Monroe | counties and at the same time place itself in a position to receive some of the benefits of expected government expansion of the waterway. HEAVIER TRAFFIC SEEN Industrial expansion due to the gigan- | tic preparedness program will create a de- mand for transportation never before ap- proached, in the opinion of Harvey C. Freu- hauf, president of the trailer company which bears his name, who predicts that in many parts of the’ country highway facili- ties will have to be greatly increased to eliminate congestion and bottlenecks. “With expenditures of several billion dollars for defense during the coming morths, we can expect to find all of our facilities taxed to their utmost, and this goes for airways, waterways, and railways as well as the highways,” says Mr. Freuhauf, whose statement continues: “As manufacturers of Ss. commercial { trailers, we have already been called upon to supply new kinds of vehicles for the army, especially tractor-trailers, which, with fewer vehicles, can move greater num- bers of men and more materials at higher speed, while conserving power, fuel and highway space. This is particularly val- uable behind fighting lines. “In the event of damage to a load, the tractor is not lost, as it can be quickly de- safety. Should the tractor be damaged, the load can be saved by attaching another tractor. The detached trailer can be used as an ammunition or fuel depot, field hospital, shop, kitchen or field office while the tractor is free for other work. “It is likely that the present war will result in tremendous advances in our con- ception of highways and great develop- which operate over repair CHURCHILL PRAISES HALIFAX That Lord Halifax, newly appointed ambassador to the United States, has the full confidence of the British government is apparent in the remarks Winston Churchill before the Pilgrims in London. Mr. Churchill refers to him as a man of “light and learning” and says he has al- of ways respected him and his actions, know- ing that fidelity’ are the essence of his being. Like all other mem- bers of the present British government he “has vowed himself to prosecute this war against Nazi t) til its last vestiges are destroyed.” Referring to the collaboration of the great “courage and nny, at whatever cost, un- the United States and Great Britain, war leader of the British people “the fu hopes of civilization founded said that ire of the whole world uf ces depend upon the British Emp Nations, and the United States of The identity of purpose, he said, w h follow our own, and while t a chance for the Brit ay through” snd ¢ 3 renewed * ng the m kind clearly and surely along ef human progress would be never re THE KEY WEST CITIZEN FIRST METHODIST CHURCH (Old St Corner Eaton and one) Simonton Sts.

Unfortunately, ‘it was too late for Dives to help his own brothers form a proper conception of life and its respon-. sibility. Everyone is responsible to the extent of his suffering and dis- tress which plagues human souls. The spendthrift who wastes his fortune while children starve and die cannot be held guiltless. Those who tempt others to theft or shame by a display of splen- dor and ease must assume the guilt for what they encourage. So, also, every man or woman is responsible for the use they make of every talent and possession with which they are entrusted. No greater argument for the practice of separating a certain portion ofsone’s wealth for char- ity and religion can be made than that of the great English states- man, Gladstone. who said: “The greatest advantage of making a little fund of this kind is that when we are asked to give, com- petition is not between self on the one hand and chraity on the other, but between the different purposes. among which we cught to make the most careful choice”.
