After farming for several years ; and being a sailor on Lake Michi- he decided he wanted to be a docior, so he went to St. Louis and enrolled in Barnes College of Medicine, now a part of St. Louis’ Washington | University. He always says that sometimes his tuition barely got under the deadline, but he worked at any and every odd job he could find and put himself through alone. After a year of practicing medi- !cine at Frumit, Missouri, he de- cided he wanted seme more pioneering, so in 1907 very shortly after statehood, he and his wife, whom he married in St. Louis be- fore his graduation, went to Western Oklahoma. They stayed in Kiowa County for about nine years, then moved to Weather- ford where there was a_ college for his family The doctor has five children, which may not be a seoop to some people, but, like Dagwood, it has always been of extreme import- ance to him.

Hitler can- he can conquer the British Isles, Ameri- can policy is to provide England with every possible weapon in an attempt to prevent that ominous possibility. And all of the weapons needed, with the ex- ception of large bombers, must be transported by ships across three thousand miles of blue wa- ter, much of which is infested with Nazi submarines and sur- f raide Even if we reduce German claims of Allied shipping destruction by one-third to one- half, it is evident that the Brit- ish merchant fleet is being rap- idly cut down. There are two possible solutions One is for this country to build enough ships to offset British losses. But even if that could be done, which experts doubt, it would not stop the loss ‘of tremendous amounts of mate-! rial. A cannon or a fighting plane or a load of food whicl sinks beneath the Atlantic inside a gaping hull, is of no service to anyone. The solution remaining is to eliminate the cause of de- struction. This was the theme of a recent and remarkable radio address by Rear Admiral Emory S. Land, chairman of the Maritime mission, This was a speech of such importance that, according | to an Associated Press writer, “it | jcould hardly have been delivered ; on his own responsibility alone”. Admiral Land d time may prove that combined American and British shipbuilding is unable to keep up with los: The wis- er course, he said, is not to pin hopes on. providing sufficient re- placements, but to stamp out German: submarines. By bas- ing our shipping aid to England, he added, “solely on supplying her with more and more ships, we are merely adding more fuel to the fire.

Baker in the chair, the board unanimously voted to extend their heartfelt sympathy and condolence to the bereaved family and loved ones of our departed brother fireman, Geo. E. McDonald, who was the last charter member of the Key West Fire Dept. which he sted in organizing in the year 1875 whose membership was continu- ous until 1941, or for a period of 66 years, who rendered conscien- tious and valuable service to the city of Key West, and to his brother firemen Brother George McDonald al- ways counseled the department in a very able and intelligent man- ner during his long and loving service to the department. Therefore the department feels they should extend to his loved ones a few words of condolence. Whereas our Heavenly Father in his all wise providence has seen fit to remove from our midst our brother fireman and loving friend, Mr. George E. McDonald And whereas in the death of our brother fireman, Mr. George E. the Key West Fire suffered an irreparable be it resolved by the st Fire Dept.

Green- |land offers potential naval and {air bases to patrol and control a jvast Atlantic area. Then, some ithink, it will not be much longer jbefore our fighting craft, sur- face, undersea and air, may have |to be used to ferret out and de- \stroy U-boat supply and rest sta- jtions. As everyone knows, the | British navy jhst isn’t big enough |to control all the seas where Brit- lish interests exist. It is no se- cret that British strategists are ‘confident that we will help, as {part of our all-out aid program. ' Big question’ is, How far“ can ‘we go before Hitler declares war on us? No one but Hitler ‘himself can_answer that. that*Hitler would think twice bé= jfore forcing a state of war be- |tween the Reich and the U.S,, for {the obvious reason that the war jdeclaration would be at once fol- |lowed by Executive and Congres- jsional acts to speed up our arms ; Production to a point beyond that | possible when we are at peace. |Some even think that there could be actual shooting between U.S. and German ships without a com- |plete severance of diplomatic re- | lations. All of this, however, belongs in ‘the realm of speculation, and the ‘future will supply the answers. jNext step is likely to be passage !of a law under which the Presi- jdent can buy and turn over to ithe British, the Axis and Danish ships recently seized under a lit- tle known 1917 statute making \sabotage of any vessel in Ameri- ican waters a felony. The White House has been completely mum |so far as talking about convoying is concerned, but almost all com- | mentators think it will come when !the time is ripe. | In the meantime, it is reported that considerable amounts of goods are piling on New York wharves, for lack of bottoms to take them to England. That is the toughest problem the all-aid program faces at the moment. \CLAIM GREEKS HAVE GIVEN UP (Continued from Page One) sault, there will be little chance of making a stand at any other point. The Allied armies, to the historic plain mopylae, are admitted to have lost important stores of equip- ment in their retreat and a short- age of combat airplanes has left them virtually unprotected from the rain of bombs descending from Nazi Stukas. ° FRANKIE DARRO in ON.THE SPOT Also, Comedy and Serial PRIZE NITE — TONIGHT seecesecoseses ARS NG A RARE RTS “tsigane” gipsy gift shop virginia 1. paterson formerly at Jefferson Hotel Bldg has moved to 522 DUVAL STREET SANGRE ATS ET ROLLER SKATE Southard Street—Ladies 25¢ Keep Your Weight In Shape and Your Shape In Weight SESSIONS: 2:30 to 4:30 P.
