A debtor is one who owes money; a creditor is one who hopes to get it back. It may be that all men are created equal, but they don’t stay that way long. One is never too old to learn, and that may be why so many keep putting it off. Matsuoka’s v to Europe was another example-of perfect timing—but not for the Axis. Spain has banned humorous broad- casts. A rank imitation of our comedians, Pioheer girls got along with one spin- ning wheel, but the modern ones need four and a spare.

The fact remains, however, that estab- lishment of an air connection between Key | West and the mainland is coming sometime. and it would be a boon to the city if it should ‘ come before next winter. In spite of constant efforts to develop a winter trade that will stay here through the season (and an increasing number of people are staying here all winter), Key | West depends largely on the people who { rush south for a short vacation and are ina hurry. Many of them come here or go to Havana on two weeks’ vacations from the north, With so little time to spend and de- iring to use as much of it as possible in the un, hundreds of prospective visitors each | year write the chamber of commerce for information about airline connections. Most | of them are surprised to learn that the only | means of transportation for the person who leaves his car in the north, is to make the | trip by bus or take the even longer boat journey. An airline connection which would permit visitors to hop to Key West from Miami in an hour, or to stop off here for a | | visit on flights between Miami and Havana | would bring a great deal of extra business service and more enjoyment for the visitors on whom the prosperity of the state de- pends, APRIL 10, 1940-41 April 10, 1941, marks a year | Seandinavia was invaded. The first Nazi red in Denmark, the smallest of the Scandi- navian countries. The invasion of Norway followed immediately thereafter, Sweden still has the great good fortune to | remain at peace. It is well for Americans to pause on this 10th day of April to reappraise what this invasion means to them. What did and Denmark stand for; what did they represent? All of Scandinavia may be considered a unit of democracy. Poli- | tically, the Scandinavian states were demo- cracies; socially, they offered equal oppor- | tunities to all; economically, they had achieved balance both in relation to their internal and external affairs; they had de- veloped both their spiritual and their ma- terial resources. Now, after eleven months under the | “new order’ of the Nazi invader, unbalance | has replaced balance ; tyranny has replaced | freedom; economic invasion has followed Norws | military invasion; life, liberty and the pur- | suit of happiness have been stifled. t is well that Americans show concern with what has happened in Scandinavia where already Denmark and Norway have lost their freedom, democracy and right to self-determination. It is important that Americans express their sympathy on this day and lend their moral support to the valiant people who are in the hands of the | conquerer, hoping to regain their freedom and right to self-determination. HOW? The statement nas been made that one-fourth of our population is not eating the proper diet which makes people strong and healthy. There may be some excuse for this con- dition among industrial workers, many of whom have been without employment for months. There is little excuse for such a condition among agricultural people. Those live on our farms should, at least, take ge of their opportunity and provide diet for their families. It is littte short of amazing to drive through so-called prosperous agricultural areas and note the absence of orchards, pastures, gardens, poultry, hogs and cows. How do people who reside on such places get the idea that they are farmers? who advanta pro} Human nature, through the ages, has responded very slowly to what reformers all the uplift and littie progress is made by «pplying the pressure too fast. to Key West, as well as providing better | since violation of Scandinavian territory occur- | while | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN YESTERDAY: David Wiley just has been left an old inn by his aunt, and at the same time she made fim promise to marry Polly Jenkins.
