CARL ACKERMAN, Dean, School of Journalisnt, Columbia University. Ignorance and indifference are among 2 country’s worst enemies. How many times have you written it 1942 since last Thursday ? The kids would be quite willing for the government to ration spinach. There are many people who believe the war will end in 1943; we hope they know whai chey are talking about.

The merchandising situation has about reached the trade at home stage because regular customers alone get a chance io ob- tain searce items. + We heard a good one today. A Key Wester tried to get his jalopy to go, but all | he got out of it were a wheeze and a sputter. | “Boy”, a friend remarked, “that bus should he a part of a tank.” more flies it breeds.

Saving is irksome, | except to talk about.

They are unableto appreciate | that condition where all theif néeds of life | have deen attended to fully; they create | supposed needs for no other reason than to | spend that money which itches them. During the realty boom in Key West in 1925, every man who was buying and sell- | ing property, declared, time and again, that | he wasn’t going to be “caught with the | bag’. It may bea painful reminder io some of us that we were toting the bag when the crash came. So today practically every Key Wester who is earning a large salary or wages will declare that he will have 2 “sizable nest egg’? when hard times come again, yet how many hundreds of Key Wesi- ers have not yet started to feather the nest into which they intend to place the egg? According to an Aissociated Press story on Monday, prosperity at a high peak will | continue in, Florida this year, with last year as the highest-income year in the history oi ate. So you, Mr. Key Wester, who have thus far spent almost all you have earn- ed since the boom started here, still have time to save systematically. Do that, and when hard times come again you will not be a prey of remorse. GERMANY SEEKS TO DIVIDE If the United tions remain united, the prospect for Germany is black indeed, declares Lord Halifax, ambassador to the ts out that Hitler’s greatest opportunity to escape defeat is to } be found in dividing the nations that are tighting* Nazi Germany. Consequently, the ambassador says drive a wedge between the Allies. not surmise. He points out that Axis broadl- casts to Great Britain differ materially from those sent to the United States. He gives scme examples from recent broadcasts: "The German radio told you one even- ing: ‘The British determire Washington policy Churchill requests, Roosevelt obe ; «<p, 3 ut a week later, the same.radio was saying tous: ‘These strategicdirections | are dictated solely by Washington orders, that the United States has resolved to fight to the last Tommy.’ To the United States was sent the following message: ‘So long | as the mothers of the United States are will- ing, England will fight to the last drop of Towa blood. “Another example was this message directed to the British people: ‘It certainly | never entered Churchill’s calculations that old England would become a colony of the United States.’ ambassador, Goebbels told Americans ‘It must be frightful for Mr. Average Ameri- can in these days not to be quite sure wheth- er his own nationality is actually Yan: oF British.” i These examples:should cause cans to be on the alert against en pre Saving is a habit that most people can- | that we must expect determined efforts t» | This is | But a little later, says the | ler$ | |tion is pouring out and beginning to its wealth Sacrifice its disarmament—supervision, or least inspection, of the at school young men in a supreme effort to Systems of Germany and’ Japan, prevent defeat in wars that have|to undo as far as possible ceme to us in faithfu: filfillment \of the prophetic words of Wil- | son, President Wilson wrote: the , diabolical work of Hitler and the | Japanese .war lords in poisoning the minds of the young.” Now. we “have a second “IT cen ict absolute certainty tha’ i } qnother | generation thé: be'anoth- { chi erect a lasting struc- 1! tare ge” * we ‘thst’ assure “well-planned er world bat) if the-nations of ‘and vigorous aetior?. the world do not, concert the } (Besides, the declaration of. prin- method by which to ePrevent it’ . rei | Moreover, said the World War |leader, “the war we have- just |been through, though it was shot | through with terror of every kind, is not to be compared with |the war we would have to face jnext time ...

Consequently, we do not apo- jlogize for presenting, in brief |form, some of the points made {by Mr. Wallace.

Rosenthal wished to put up to assure his beginning work on the proposed Overseas Highway bridges in the next 90 days. The bond, 2s was stated at the meet- ing, was nothing more than a piece of paper and had no se- curity behind it. William V. Ai- bury was reelected attorney for the board. The Citizen makes this cor- rection today: “Falmon Albury, who was taken ill yesterday while at the Thompson ice plant |is not employed there, as was ‘stated yesterday.” i} With the exception of New York, there were more arrivals ; by boat in Key West during 1932 than at any other port in this country, statistics issued today showed. Dan Navarro, of the firm of Gato and Navarro, was sentenced to serve seven days in jail yes- iterday afternoon by the judge of the city’s police court. Mr. Na- ivarro offered to pay his occupa- |tional license of $100 with em- |Ployes’ warrants that were |bought by him, but the city re- fused to accept them and he re- fused to pay in cash, hence, the jail sentence. Bobbie Lombard, son of Major M. S. Lombard, chief surgeon at the Marine Hospital, and Mrs. Lombard, who has been ill sev- eral days with pneumonia, is re- ported to be resting easily today. Funeral services for Mrs. Charles L. Roberts, who died yesterday in her home on Ashe street, were held today in the Ley Memorial Church, the Rev. Holmes Logan, the pastor, offi- ciating. Mrs. Marv A. E. Roker, former !resident of Key West, died early |this week in her home in Tam- pa, according to information re- ceived here today. The funeral services were held in that city. Abe Rosenthal, who, for many years, was in business in Key West, and is now a resident in Miami, arrived yesterday to spend a few days here visiting relatives and friends. Helio Esquinaldo, who had been spending the Christmas and New Year’s holidays with relatives, left yesterday for his home in Miami. The Citizen in an editorial patagraph says today: “Ten years ago the editorial writer of The Citizen wrote this squib: ‘Well, the dawn of 1933 means that it will be a vear less until a good Democratic president is occupying the White House.’ It TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1943 Answers to YOUR WAR QUESTIONS j i ! j es, born in Georgia, 56 years ago.
