Labor in general will put up a battle before such a measure becomes lgw, ahd Key West labor men, although they have ‘taken no organized action up to now, are watching the legislative scene with a pro- found distrust. Before labor takes up the cudgels in defense of its ancient cornerstone, how- it would be highly reassuring to a worried public if the union leaders would present a clear-cut platform showing what they think is the correct answer to the pres- ent work stoppages. The big industrial stoppages, of course, do not particularly concern Florida labor aside from their effect of concentrat- ing public opinion against all unions. Even if there were large factories in the state, the closed shop measure would not cure their labor difficulties. In the construction of army camps, air bases and other vital defense posts, how- ever, there have been work stoppages and vs that do affect Florida directly and law apparently is medi ever, \ del where the proposed aimed. ‘At Camp Blanding, for instance, skill- ed workmen slept on the ground last winter @cause they Pould not raise money ‘to join ‘€hestinion and get a job. Meanwhile, the contractors were sending to New York to get workmen who were union members or | had enough money to get in. The old American joke of pointing at | k a battleship or public building and claim- ing joint ownership, “because my taxes helped pay for it,” works both ways. Since the federal government is paying for the ; work, there is a good deal of justice in the | protest of the attorney general that he can- | not see why a taxpayer should pay tribute | to a union before he can work or a job for | which he is helping to put up the money. The great majority of the American people are about in the mood to repeat the remark of President Roosevelt (with due credit to Shakespeare) : | “A plague on both your houses!” TOSCANINI TO RETIRE | It is reported that Arturo Toscanini, | long acclaimed as the world’s greatest or- | chestra conductor, will retire from regular | concert work at the conclusion of the pres- | ent season of broadcasts by the NBC Sym- phony Orchestra. It is also said that this fine orchestra, organized four years ago, | may be disbanded. This will be unwelcome news to mil- lions of music lovers who have enjoyed the orchestra’s Saturday night broadcasts dur- ing the years of its existence. It is probable | that Toscanini will appear occasionally with other leading orchestras as guest con- ductor so long as his health permits. He was 74 years old on March 25. The eminent conductor was born in | Parma, Italy, and began his orchestral career as a ’ecllo player after his gradua- tion from the conservatory of his native | city. His first appearance as a conductor was in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, at the age of | 19, when without previous notice he direct- e4 thé Performance of the opera “Aida,” , after the r¢gplar conductor suddenly quit ‘the Shoe | In 1908 Toscanini became a conductor of the Metropolitan Opera in New York, re- maining through 1914. He conducted most of the concerts of the New menic-Symphony for ten years, beginning in 1926. For a number of years he con- ducted great summer musical festivals in Europe.

York Philhar- | THE K | Magic YESTERDAY: Two things have postponed David and Pol- ly’s wedding — the fact that David now must care for hi: 9- year-old cousin Peter, and the fact that Margo Powers is back in town. Polly insists that since Margo is the daughter of David’s boss, he should be nice to her. But she conceals a jealousy that: David's date, tonight, with Margo , did nothing to allay. Dabid ig “showing Margo the old and bankrupt inn his aunt left him, Chapter 13 The Fall Of David ““T'HE Inn is all of that,” said David. “But it’s also a great burden. Taxes, repairs — things like that.” He laughed. “But you wouldn’t know about such things.” Margo turned to him. Her eyes were luminous, her mouth invit- ing. She reached up and touched , David's cheek. “I know people who would give a lot for a tan lik® yours,” she said. “Golden brown—smooth—” “Margo, listen, I-I—” David began. And _ then Margo was in his arms. She was clinging to him. He was kissing her, on the eyelids, on the mouth; kissing her with a sort of wild abandon he had never known he was capable of; holding her to him, close—close— “David—David—” , Margo said. In a flash David ‘had released her. He took a step backward. It was as though he had suddenly awakened. “Gosh!” he said. “Don't look so scared,” Margo said, smiling. “I wanted you to ‘iss me.” “You did?” “Of course. And you do it amazingly well, too—for a young man who’s lived in Ardendale all of his life.” “Then you’re not angry?” “I should say not! I—I—liked it, David. Didn’t you?” “Why, er—yes,” said David, “I did.” “Then there’s nothing to worry about!” said Margo. S| doing things to her hair. “T’ ginning to feel that even a war can do good. It was the war that sent me home to Ardendale, and in Ardendale I found you.” David could think of nothing to say. He was too busy thinking about Polly. Enea to Polly, and kissing Margo. What’s more, enjoying kissing her! What in heck could a fellow make out of that? | Did it mean that a man could want to marry one girl, and yet enjoy playing around with a girl he had no intention of marrying? | He was all confused. He almast loathed himself. This was the first |” time in ages he had had a date} with any pint but Polly—and look at him! Acting like one of those Prapeacpous, necking college fel- lows he had heard so much about. Being cheap. Being unfaithful to! Polly. | “Come on,” he said with sudden gruffness. “Let's get back to} town.” “But it’s not terribly late,” said Margo. “I’ve stayed up later than this many a night.” “Well, I haven't!” David re-| torted. “Besides, I've got to get) up in the morning and go to| work.” Margo looked smiled. “Dear, darling David,” she said | very softly. “He does take himself | so seriously.” She took his arm. They moved down the path to} the yellow roadster. And this time Margo forgot all about the dew./ And David forgot all about those paces he was going to take. to see | how much pipe he would need. .. .| Witch In The Plan Sy ease) POWERS had counted +Y2 on that evening’ with David being a sort of delightful pro- logue to many other evenings ith him, but it -@i@y’t work out that way. Not af all. A week passed; and she heard nothing from him. He didn’t come near her. nor did he telephone. It | upset her at first, and then it an- noyed her. She found herself at him. She! steadily than she had ene of any other man she had known. She fought a mount- ing temptation to get into her car and drive to the lumber plant to see him She remembered something young Doctor Warren McNeill | had said to her: Warren, the man she had meet in Paris, and who had come back to America on the same boat; the man who had growing more and more restless, | thinking of him steadily — more} ever | half full!” WEST CITIZEN “But you'll think over my pro- Posal, won’t you, Margo? Perhaps distance and absence will work in my favor.” “A girl always thinks about her first proposal, Warren. But mar- riage is such a definite thing; and one ought to be very, very sure before going into it.” “T know. That’s why I want you to be sure.” Warren. had n her hands then, as they were standing on the deck of the liner. ‘I'll be in your part of the coun- try one of these days,” he went on, “and I'm going to drop in on you. At least I'll see what you look like in a smalltown acting: “Do that!” she had said. “ like to see you again—sometime, Warren.” She had let him kiss her, and hadn’t found it in the least unpleasant. “Since you seem to have a weakness for little towns, you might like Ardendale.” “I know I'd ike it, if you were there,” was Warren’s reply. “Maybe it’s hard for you to un- derstand, Margo, but I think there’s been too much specializ- ing among the medical profession. I think the time is ripe for the old fashioned family doctor; you know, the sort of practitioner who ministers to all of his patients’ needs. This business of sending a patient to one doctor for his liver, another for his tummy, and’ an- other for his rheumatism, and so on, and so on, is not only hard on the patients’ physical being, but on his pocketbook as well.” “But,” she had asked, “don’t doctors like that usually end up penniless? Don’t they usually die and leave nothing to their fam- ilies but a lot of unpaid bills?” “Not all of them,” said War- ren. “So many patients have a way of trotting to their doctor with a lot of nonsense, use up his time, take advantage of his learning, and then ignore his monthly statements.” Warren had smiled at her—that oddly crooked and fascinating smile which had had first seen in a sidewalk cafe. “There's quite a lot of truth in all you say,” he replied. “But I'm willing to gamble.” She had stepped back, looked him squarely in the face, and said: “Well, I'm afraid I’m not willing.” Capitulation N°: she had thought later in her cabin, she wasn’t the type to become the wife of a doctor, espe- cially one who was content to work for practically nothing in a dull little town. She needed gaiety, lots going on around her. And yet, here she was now, pin- ing over a young :nan in a small town. Pining over David, and re- membering what Warren had said So She began pacing the floor of her large, cool bedroom. Then suddenly she whirled about and vent to her clothes closet. She had made up her mind. Nobody could neglect her and get away with it, least of all a young man who worked for her father. If David wouldn’t come to her, she would go to him, and to heck with pride. It was Saturday after- noon, and David would probably be puttering about the house somewhere, if he wasn't doing things out at the Inr. No matter where he was, she would find him. She got into paleblue slacks, a white sweater, sandals, which she wore without stockings, tied a narrow blue ribbon about her hair to keep it out of her eyes, arid left the house. A few moments later she was honking her horn in front of David Wiley’s cottage. There was no answer. The place looked deserted She drove on, heading out to- ward the old Inn. That's where she would find mim, she decided. She remembered the moonlit Inn, ‘the solitude, David standing so close to her; his kiss, the feel- ing that she had experienced of being utterly alone with him in a world made just for them— And while she sped on toward Freddy's Folly, David and Péter and Polly, already there, were talking excitedly. They stood on the edge of the swimming pool, watching it slowly fill with the water from the spring. “Look!” said Peter. “It’s nearly “Oh, David,” said Polly, “it’s wonderful! Just think, we can have all the swims we want, from now on.” “Sure, Sweetness,” said David. He put an arm about each of the two’ there with him, drew them close to hit. “Maybe Freddy's Folly isn't go- ing to be such a white elephant, after all,” Polly went on. “Any- asked her to marry him and settle down in the small town where he planned to practice. “One of these days,” were hi words, “you'll feel about someone as I fee! about op, Margo. Then perhaps you'll grow up.” She had laughed at him said: “You're swe: much, too. serious business”*" ~ “Love is a ser “You're planning to bury your- self in a little town in the South, aren't you?” “No, I'm not going to be buried there.

N. J—Sit in a chair before a mi MY AMERICA My America is in the hearts of men, Who had in their minds a treedom to win: They came to this land from over the sea, Bringing their gifts for the land of the free. The English, the French and Scandinavian, to Contributed a part, as the Slav and the Jew: All brought gifts from their part of the earth, And laid on the altar, the land of my birth. Italian and French brought art and romance, The Spaniard his love of adventure and chance: Irish brought laughter, the Scotchman his thrift, Vraile Teuton and Dutch contributed their gift. The negro didn’t come of his own free will, But yet a mission. he.was to fulfill: Rhythm and patience were his stock in trade, And these hg added as the country was made. All these people asked as reward of those gifts, Was freedom from greed, intolerance and rifts; i tt - man Opportunity to work, to live and to play, To rear their families in a wholesome way. The wide open spaces they found over here, Made them friendly to whoever was near: Apout questions at home we may disagree, But a solid front to those over the Sea. The hardships were many they learned to endure, For love of freedom, so wholesome and pure: With freedom cf work and freedom of thought, They lead all the world with inyention Wrought. Where a barefoot boy has un egual right, To rise in his world of influence and might; Yet as he reaches the heights of the game, Thcughtful of others along the rodd he came. Where man is measured, not by title and rank, Nor by the dollars he has in the bank; But by the kindness he shows to mankind, The acts and the words that flow from his mind. From Atlantic foam, to Pacific peace, The scenic grandeur seems to never cease: Rivers of commerce,cataracts of power, Traverse My America like dew on a flower. One half the people itf@uige every week, - In our national games at their highest peak; Where the love of ports is part of the. plan, > To build for strength and vigor of the.clan, Schools and churches that teach what they think, ‘: And unhampered scribes speak with printer’s ink: Where respect is given to each sect and creed, , And something is done about those in heed. We detest aggression, but despise a sneak, Who strikes in the dark, the fallen, the weak: We are slow to anger, but remember so true, ‘The pledge of'our fathers to die or do. With all these gifts brought inside of our gates, They wove a pattern called these United States: In the hearts of men, in a Thank God I live in this KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings On This Date Ten Years Ago As Taken From Files Of The Citizen The large, frame _ structure known as Kweco Inn, northeast corner of Vernon and Waddell avenues, has been purchased by | Dr. J.
