Why; isn’t there enough fire-in the world today ? The world is essentially a world of contradictions—a world of laughtef* and tears, of joys and sorrows, of peace and pain, ~ Jap army leaders had né¥er liked the pacific policy pursued by theirrgovernment, and ecohomie distress brought them the support ofthe mob. Final date for obtaining War Ration Book One was postponed from December 15, 1942, to January 15, 1943. Possesion of War Ration Book One will be necessary to obtain War Ration Book Two when it is is- sued early in 1943. Don’t waste any of your catch — see that it is used for food by someone. This is the message voiced to the state’s sports fishermen — particularly the salt water sportsmen — by the Fish and Wildlife Service. With rationing of meat and other essential foodstuffs just ahead, service offi- cial. remind sportsmen that all edible fisli@s should be consigned to food channels food is becoming as important as bul- letsgn the war program, x ° sin Buying under the Point Rationing sys- tem amounts to buying with two kinds of money and careful account must be kept cf point-money so that it will last for the en- tire ration period. Once the stamps for the ration period are used up, no more of the rationed items can be purchased until the start of the next ration period. . The difference between buying in points and buying with money lies right there—when yowrun out of money you can borrow when you run out of points, you’re through buy- ing! 1 ' ! | | MAN’S GREATEST GIFT Saloon keepers_in Key West should realize how much more fortunate they are in this war than they were in the first World War. the privilege of staying open 18 out of the 24 hours every day, except Sunday. Another thing saloon keepers, as well i as everybody else in Key West, should bear in mind: we are at war, which facet gives | the commandant in Key West, designated : by the government as a defense area, the | power to invoke the May Act. In other words, when Captain C. E. Reordan declar- ed all saloons in Key West to be ‘out of bounds”, as a result of the decision of the City Council to permit them to remain open till 2 o’clock in the morning, he could have invoked the May Act and closed them up entirely, had he so wished. Of course, the commandant, in invok- | ing the May Act, must show just cause for taking that action, and one may say that | the saloons remaining open till 2 o’clock in the morning could not be construed as suf- ficient cause. opinion: one may say it was sufficient and another say it wasn’t, but whatever one may say he should be aware that Key West, par- ticularly Duval street, is almost a “Barbary Coast” of saloons, Duval street has been robbed of much of its glamor of p1e-war days, when, with an exception of a saloon stuck back far from the street in the two blocks between Ange- la and Fleming, it was free of that type of business; now there are one or more saloons | in almost every block. In the old days, Duval was a sort of promenade, particularly on a Saturday night, that attracted thousands of people, who went there chiefly to walk to and fro. Now, as the evening grows late, too many “drunks” mingle with the crowds and take from the promenade much of its wholesome pleasure. It would be a most commendable thing for the City Council to do, when license time rolls around again, to thin ~out the number of saloons on Duval street. But back to the powers that are invest- ed in the commandant because this country is at war: saloon keepers should be delight- ed indeed that they are now permitted to be open until midnight. Whenever they feel disposed to squirm or fume, they should recall that, in World War I, they were, clos- ed up tightly. \ Memory is man’s greatest gift, but there are so many of us who do not profit by it, so many of us who are disposed to pros- titute it. MANPOWER PROBLEM The manpower problem probably will be the most outstanding one in this country during the coming year. The authority given Paul V. McNutt in this matter is tre- mendous, but it is doubtful whether it will put an end to shortages in manpower on the farms, and in business. In business, the shortage is felt acute- ly at present in Key West. There are a good many places in this city that are hard-press- ed for help, as are The Citizen and The Art- man Pres The proprietor of both those enterprises has been forced to feed a press or operate a linotype machine, so as to be able to turn out job printing or issue the rewspaper. Men, who worked for the press afid newspaper, are now working for the government at wages or salaries that es to face failure. private industry cannot pay unless it wishes to face failure. So far as we can see, the only way Chairman McNutt of the Manpower Com- mission can relieve the pressure that has been caused in business and in nidustry is to see to it that the government does not ai- | ways outbid private business when it seeks to employ hel Even before this country entered the war, the government rate of pay to men in all branches of trade, or men whe are common laborers, was so much higher than what private industry was able to pay, some industries had to discontinue operations because of the lack of manpower to carry on. Farmers also were hard pressed to gct | men to harvest crops. Indeed, some of the farm associations declared that there wouid be a shortage of foodstuffs: if more help | could not be employed. Farmers have been given relief in a large measure, but many businesses are still in need of more help. It is a hard problem, this one of dis- tributing manpower, and The Citizen hopes McNutt will solve it. Then, no saloons at all were permit- | ted to be open in Key West; now they have | That conclusion is purely an | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN’ of DECEMBER 28, 1932 According to an Associated’ |Press dispatch in The Citizen! today, dated at Atlantic City, | Key West is the only city along the eastern seaboard that is nei- ther sinking or rising.
