Thus Key West enters the home stretch of another city election, and a population , which has shown little interest in the pro- ceedings up to now gets its last chance. ta decide on the merits of the men who will direct it for the next two years. Probably because loeal politics have | been so completely overshadowed by the thunderous echoes of world politics, pre- election excitement here has been almost nen-existent. It would not be fair to say no one cares who gets the city posts, but it is perfectly accurate to say that few of the citizens are taking partin any strenvous | campaigning. Regardless of who finally comes up with the brass rings, however, one thing Key Westers do owe themselves is the ex- ercise of their right to vote. Pick your can- didate—but vote for someone. The city council election, particularly, is of the most vital importance to Key West at this time. Coming in a year when world | ,, democracy is at its lowest ebb since the lays before the last war, the zen who mar ly ignores his responsibility in ele ction is showing little respect for a ystem whose preservation is being bought with the world’s blood. It is entirely possible that the decisions e next two years will shape Key West’s for many yearsto come. For the :verage citizen. there should be some satis- tion in the knowledge that those deci- ions are being made by men who won out in a really “general” election of the entire populace—not an election in which small, pressure groups could sweep their men into office while the great bulk of the electorate stood by. If ever there was a year when a man should honor and use his right to cast a bal- lot, this is that year. THE GREAT ALUMINUM HOAX How many of those women who robbed their pantries of all their aluminum pots and pans know just what was behind that emotional campaign? “Give your aluminum ware to your eountry to make fighter planes for de- fense,”” housewives heard over the air and read in the printed word. They gave free- ly. Mountains of utensils were piled up in cities and towns all across the map. Then some inquiring reporter investigated to as- certain what actually would be done with them. He found that this aluminum could not be melted down and used in airplane manufacture. It would not be the proper quality of metal. At first this was denied vehemently, but at length Mayor La Guardia, head of the federal Office of Civilian Defense, ad- mitted it was true. The scrap would be sold, he said, and the proceeds used to buy hter planes. At the present scale of ment building, that is similar to empty- - ima few barrels of water into Lake Mighi- to raise its level. communities, coincident with the campaign, sre was a rush of women to the stores to ew aluminum utensils and further de- plete rapidly dwindling stocks. As everyone should know by. now, the iminum hoax was for one purpose and no r—to instill in housewives the crusad- ing spirit so essential to war making. As ganda it was superb; as an aid to armament it was about as practical as the New York air-raid warden mobilization or women’s parachute rifle companies. AIRCRAFT PRODUCTION The production of military aircraft in September reached a total of 1,914 air- anes, according to a report of the Office »duction Management. While the month’s output sty above that of August and brings our production to planes for the first nine months of the nation is still far from the Presi ; goal of 50,000 planes a year. Inasmuch as the figures give no dication of the percentage of combat planes and bombers in the September total, it is rather difficult to appraise the progress made in the production of the bombers that the British need in Europe. Certainly, the aireraft industry has gone steadily forward, in- with September produetien around 285 per } cent of that of September, 1940. . | vedo, catcher ‘TRAFFIC TIPS avn QUIPS i Pen e Service| Hollywood’s star feud is between Chas.
