But, when Miami adds to that the statement that Key West hasn’t any | water, or anything to eat. or—most recently | —anyplace to sleep, the boys are getting a little out of line. The water and food thing, of course, has come up often before, spread more or Ulesyunofficially by too Zealous Miami sup- \pérters but the “you can’t get.a_ place sleep there” story is understood here come from the chamber'of ecommerce. Everyone here knows and is willing to admit that there is a shortage of cheap apartments and homes for permanent resi- dence. Families of navy men are having a hard time finding places to settle, and some iense workers have been unable to find enyching in their income bracket for their families. But to tell prospective Key West visi- | tors there is no sense in coming here because | they won't be able to get a place to sleep is ridiculous.

RUSSIANS HAVE EARNED ASSISTANCE The battle in Russia continues un- abated, with the result uncertain. The Rus- sians, according to late dispatches, are owing the German advance. but it is too early to say that Hitler has failed in his new campaign. Back of the German offensive is the | desire to knock out the Red army. This will occur when the Russians run out of fghting equipment, tanks, planes, guns and am- We know people who do not play cards but they can give you the details of the latest scandal that is being passed around the community. It is fatuous to idolize those dollar-a- year men because they are sacrificing their time and money for national defense; fat contracts go with the job. Allowing the cows to roam on the highways may keep them contented, but it keeps the car owners discontented and who Should receive greater consideration—the €aws or the cars? £ tacks is the hope that the Soviet has not suf- ficient reserve strength to keep the fight going. There is little prospect that Great Britain or the United States will be able to rush supplies to Russia in time to relieve her present plight. This is not to say that sup- plies should not be rushed. The Russians have already won the support of the free nations of the world by their heroic resist- ance and deserve to survive unto a_ better day.

COMMENDABLE PROCEDURE Something new in labor technique is reported from Philadelphia, where a union, rather than call a strike to interfere with production of hats and caps for the armed forces, has filed a suit in equity, seeking to enforce a labor contract. In other words, instead of calling a strike, the labor union has gone courts, requesting that its interpretation of the contract be enforced by the courts. The action, it is hoped, will serve “‘as a pat- tern to other labor organizations and When you get ready to sell, the buyers will look you up, provided you advertise what you have to sell, says The Key West Citizen. That hits the old nail on the head.—Palatka Daily News. A Key Wester stated most emphati- cally in The Citizen office’a few days ago that it is up to the citizensof;, this com- munity to merge the city withthe county, thus saving the taxpayers a considerable sum of money.
