We're trying to keep too much money from get- ting into the hands of what the economists call the consumer. The consumer, when you take his mask off, is you or I. The idea is that if all of us consumers could keep on demanding and getting more pay because of the shortage! of manpower we would soon have what is called “excess spending power.” That would be bad _ because, while we might have excess spending power, there is fast be- coming less and less that we can buy. Result,.as the economists see it: we would create greater de- mands for the available - goods. This might lead to black markets and would generally stir’ up the price inflation that always comes when demand exceeds supply Taken in combination with'pfi ceilings, how is it going to work? All we can do is wait and see, but ui THE KEY WEST CITIZEN MARINES TO BE SERVED TURKEY DINNER ON THANKSGIVING DAY CALLING DRAFTED MOTHERS By RUSSELL HEARD ON BUILDING QUESTION SAYS “MISUNDERSTANDING” | IN MATTER WAS NOT ON HIS PART ERAINE TURIN Copyrighed, 1942 Like the drafting of men into Ralph Russell, Key West build-|the service, the drafting of man- ing inspector, said today, in com-|power for civilian purposes ing on the story in yester-| should be exercised only when Citizen about the issuing of | igcal building permits, that there|*"* need factually demands.

The prepared menu, released THANKSGIVING DAY FOR SOLDIERS HERE Thanksgiving dinner, that truly American tradition with turkey and all the fix- ings and trimmings. will be practically the same to the soldiers at Key West Bar- racks and Fort Taylor that they would receive at home. The menu for Thanksgiv- ing, Thursday, November 26, as made public by Key West Barracks, follows: Fruit Cup Roast Turkey Dressing and Cranberry Sauce Giblet Gravy . Mashed Potatoes Corn Peas Stuffed Celery Tomato Salad Assorted Pickles Bread Butter Pumpkin Pie Apples Grapes Candies Nuts ——— today by Capt. R. C. Johnson, mess officer, shows that there'll be 100 pounds of turkey supplied for every 100 merl—and a pound of turkey is not a lunch room sandwich slice in any kind of language. | Neither will the boys be ex- actly starved at breakfast on this holiday, just to whet their {appetites, for the morning meal ; will consist of cereel, snjils; fruit, leggs, crisp bacon, toast, butter, jams and yes, sif, co! plenty of it. é . And Mess Sergeant Robey C. Stewart is going to feed them in the evening just like they hadn’t had a belt-bustin’ meal at noon— and it won’t be turkey hash. For supper they'll have: cold cuts, sliced cheese, potato salad, sand- wich buns, buttter, coffee and milk. But the big feed at noon is when they'll give the fighting marines the culinary works.
