There has been no finer campaign than the constant efforts of various groups in this country to take the physically handi- | capped and the blind out of the class of parasites and restore to them their useful- ness and their ability to earn a living. The work of the welfare agency falls in that ¢ , and if it is being denied to some Key Westers merely because they do not , krow of its existence, it is up to their more fortunate neighbors to give them the infor- mation, Obviously, the program can work no miracles and the mental ability of the erip- ple, as in the case of the non-cripple, is the final gauge of how far he can go Instead of helplessly casting about for an unskilled job where his disability will rot be too important, however, the cripple who is helped by the rehabilitation service has the prospect of finding work where he can benefit from whatever ability he has. If a study of the man to be helped in- dicates that training at the University of Florida is the logical foundation for the post he will fill, the service sends him to the school and pays his board and _ tuition while he is there. The object of the pro- gram is simply to get the man the kind of training he needs, wherever it is necessary for him to go. The department’s record of finding work for 164 hitherto unemployed persons in one year and the record of the 164 in earning a gross salary of $125,000 in the following year, speak for themselves. THE ARMY WELCOMES RELIGION It is interesting to report that the Army is spending $12,000,000 to build five hundred chapels in forts, camps and can- tonments in the United States. The staff of chaplains connected with the Army has beer expanded to take care of the spiritual needs of more than one mil- ion soldiers now in. service. More than eight hundred chaplains were added to the Army last year, making nearly one thou- sand available to conduct religious services and minister to the spiritual needs of the Americar Army. Twelve million dollars may not seem to be a large sum to spend for spiritual pur- poses in connection with the billions which are being expended for the purposes of war, but it is refreshing to know that the cfficials of the Government and Army recognize the importance of religious serv- ices. Soldiers ard sailors, like editors, bank- ers and business men, require the which comes from religious services signed to minister unte spiritual aspira- tions. solace de- TWO-WAY TOLERANCE NECESSARY the and A leaflet recently published by National of Christians Jews says: “We of the United States are: “One-third of a million Indian “One-third of a million Oriental, Filipino and Mexican *60,000,000 Anglo-Saxon; 10,000,000 Irish “15,000,000 Conference Teutonic; 9,000,000 Slavic “5,000,000 Italian; 4,000,000 Scandi- navian 13,000,000 Negro Lithuanian, 2,000,000 French; each Fi 1,000,000 ording to the same dition, acc weare: “2,000,000 Angelica 10,000,000 Evangel iscopalian | Protestant 600,000 Gre 4,500,000 | ‘ Mormon ne-tenth of a m ker Romar » and one-half ires give us some religious mixture that makes up I i States. nit It stresses United I r rtance of racial and religious toler THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Here is the first of the great new fleet of monster M-3 medium (28 ton) tanks to be delivered by Ghrys- ler Corporation to the United States Army as ‘part of its contribution to the National Defense Program, Béfore the year ends hundreds more like this.one wil] be coming off the ass¢mbly lines to strengthen, Amers ; ica’s mechanized forces.
