The need for.a convention hall is an im- portant one for this city. It deserves | thought and then action. RELIGIOUS TRAINING IMPORTANT Judge Ernest L. Reeker, of a Nebraska Juvenile Court, says that “the child; a stranger to church andi Sunday school, most often runs afoul of the law.” This interesting observation should be of interest to parents of Key West. Here we have thousands of adults, busy in vari- ous activities, but most of them unconcerned about the proper rearing of young boys and girls of their acquaintance and_ relation- ship. The value of proper religious instruc- | tien to young people cannot be over-em- phasized. Just the same, it is hard to un- derstand how adults can impress young people with the importance of attending church and Sunday school unless the adults Set something of an example themselves. While very few people agree when they attempt to define a remedy for the ills | of the world, many ¢éareful thinkers have | expressed the view that a revival who recftes his | a alk yous please shout the, causes | This does not refer to superficial at the’bottom, it isidueito the j of re- ligion is one of the great needs of the day. attend- ance upon places of worship, but to deep- seated,and sincere religious convictions. vybe, after all, this ‘is what ds to remedy its ills. the warkd n WAITING FOR U. S. PLANES Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek says that China is ready to take the offensive against Japan as soon as airplanes arrive from the United States. The Chinese leader expresses con- ‘idence as to the outcome of the war which his country is now engaged. He ex- pects to secure the airplanes from us and to expel the invader from his country. When and if the planes will be avail- able is uncertain, The United States: is stepping up plane production but it will be many months, we suspect, before they will be enough to sen@ the Chinese the number that they will require to conduct a success- ul offensive against Japan. in PERFECTLY OBVIOUS When criminals flourish in any section of the country and develop profitable rackets, one or two things are true: (1) The criminals have more than the law enforcement officers, or (2) the law enforcement officers are laying down on their jobs for some reasons known to themselves. In either case, the public should get law enforcement officers Princess Colonna.” sense THE KEY WEST CITIZEN RELIGION GION OF LIFE By REV. TED M. JONES.

We see the lily of Easter Morn as it un- folds its leafy petals to exhibit the purity of Christ that it re- sembles, and to teach us to “Be ve perfect even as your Heavenly Father is perfect” (Matt: 5:48). To have “Religion in Liife” there is a challenge to us to imi- tote a great Ideal. To me that Ideal is Jesus, the lowly WNaz- arine, who, in His purity, said, “If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me”. So before all men be drawn to Jesus. He must be lifted. up, by ascending to the Father, and, clothen in white, sit on the right hand of the Glory of God. I cball wait for Him out there As you did at the dawning. . .
