Were the’ count a man would be within his rights to declare, “I'll ai peace, work if I want to”, but things are altogether different now—we are at war, and every tbiebodied man must do his part. If he ve- fuises to do it, then the right place for him is the jail. Ii is well enough io talk about curbing one’s freedom, but while we do that sort of talking we should bear in mind that that reedem is threatened by powerful out ources, and that all of us must act in concert to beat back that threat and, fin- y 40 clifitimate it. pot Willing to-work or fight for his freedom is no€ worthy of'it.

The Citi- zen heard of two a few days ago who are working side by side in the Navy yard helping in the country’s war effort. it. anese Navy, in its persistence to recapture Guadalcanal, reminds us of the old saying, “EF a brute for punishment.” Tour times now the Jap warships have come hack, and four times they have been de feated decisively. ‘They'll <gain,” Secretary Knox said after Round 3, and he may say the same thing now about Pound 4. The iyfluence of men varies, but aot accerding to their weight.

Allied headquarters and civilian lead- ers have warned the people of che Allied Nations that the fighting is going io be savage in Bizerte and Tunis. No news may mean good news or it may mean a stalemate in the various clashes that have occurred. However that may be, very little official news is coming from Africa. There has been a great deal of conjecturing, always with decsiive battles to occur between the iwo | forces, but these battles have not yet taken place. All of which brings us to the point to | advice the reading publie to be more pa- | tient. You may be sure that General Hisen- hower and his staff are not wasting a mo- ent or overlooking an advantage to wage i tely ar offensive that will crush the | ‘mans and the Italians in Bizerte and | Turis. But the time for that battle has not ‘ome yet. When it does come, the Allies will strike and strike hard. Meanwhile, we should curb our impa- ence. We felt the same way about the ighting inthe Solomons, but the govern- ent relieved our tension when circumstan- ces justified its doing so. The same thing will happen in giving out news about the fighting in North Africa. Today there is ittle or no news, but tomorrow we may be hrilled by the intelligence of Aillied suc- tles of the Midway, the Coral Sea and the Solomons. Patience is an outstanding quality in war as well as in peace, on the home front as well as on the firing line. Most people are very pleasant as long as you do not collect from them); then the baseness of their nature emerges. A hobby is a good thing unless you make a business of it. The individual with an idea is often a nuisance io his friends. HEALTH COMMANDMENTS The following commandments for our health, given by a pastor of a metropolitan church to his congregation, might prove in- teresting reading to some of us here in Key West. Here they are: “1. Honor your parents by having a thorough physical examination every birth- day; for an ounce of prevention is worth a ipn of cure.- ¢ “2. Honor your friends by taking a daily bath; for cleanliness is a part of god- liness. “3. Honor your family by having your life insured; for life insurance guaran- | tees the co-operation of the insurer in the prolongation of the life of the insured. “4. Honor your physician by avoid- ing patent medicines; for the most of these nostrums are humbugs. “5. Honor your stomach by having your teeth carefully examined by a dentist at regular intervals; for bad teeth are ai abomination to the system. “6. Honor your digestion by being careful of your diet, for many a man digs his grave with his teeth. “7, Honor your lungs by breathing | fresh air; for ventilation is a‘means of | grace. Honor your nerves by all day and play all night promote the brev- ity of their lives by burning the candle at both ends. “9. Honor your country by obeying the laws; for it is a mark of good citizen- | not. wishes eternity must exalt maternity.” The Axis powers “beat” us, co use the } positions.
