And what is the reason for that? While The Citizen does not know de?- s that the chief reason lies in the vast amount of wholesome foods that Key Westers are now eating. Of course, many Key Westers have always been in a position to eat well, but this is the first time in many a day that ALL Key Westers:may | | eat well, and you may be sure they are eat- ey | ing well. | market men.

HOW MANY U-BOATS ARE THERE? Not many days ago the First Lord of | the British Admiralty reported that, as of Oct. 20, 1942, 580 Axis submarines had been destroyed or damaged since ihe war | began‘in 1939. This was an amazing figure, even when no division is shown between those | sunk and those damaged. It was extreme encouraging but before we had time to en- ' joy the revelation Rep. Carl Vinson asserts that in World War I we claimed where between 500 and 600 certain probable sinkings of German subs.” and He | “some- | adds, it was learned that the Germans had | only 160 submarines and ‘hat “we actually | had destroyed 16.” The Vinson figures do not gibe with those vf the Navy Department, which re- veals that Germany operated some 390 submarines in the war years 1914-18 and | FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN leans, journalist, born Montgom-' for army—a that 78 were lost in action, 12 of the votal | through causes unknown.

With the experience of the earlier strugg it is reasonable to assume that Hitler coun*- | ed upon U-Boats heavily and that, —vhis time, ‘he planWee to have them in sufficient: numbers to do the job. The pre-war Axis strength in subma- rines, according to available figures, which may have been erroneous, gave Germany 70, Italy 130 and Japan 75. That new sub- mersibles have been built is certain but most experts consider it doubtful that Italy or Japan has been able to increase the to- tal available to any large degree. | | THE KEY -WEST CITIZEN WEDNESDAY, NOVE WHAT CIGARETTE GIVES SMOKERS WHAT THEY WANT Counrs Mosr Copyright 1942, Liocerr & Mvras Tosacco Ca, KEY WEST-IN _—‘Today’s Birthdays hey stick Lo their QUns Myf)» PK any with a Milder Better-Iasting smoke Chesterfield smoker why he smokes them and he’ll probably say: “I just like them better . . . that’s all.” Of course, the reason he likes them better is their MILDER, BETTER TASTE.
