If congressmen did not sit on the fence so much they would not be called on often to spend time in the mending. Many newspapers continue to give more space to sports than to what is hap- pening to American soldiers in the war. All who seeK to promote the common good of all, must have their starting point in the recognition of the individualily each.

Chamber of Commerce calls on the city-and | enforcement. No reply has yet been made by the mil- itary authorities regarding the request for | an expanded sailor and soldier patrol, but | Mayor Willard M. Albury, resenting the | implication that law enforce- | ment is lax in Key West, points out that the | city police are making more arrests now than they have ever made before. | The truth is, in the last week or so, as | sult of the articles and editorials in The | zen, the policemen have taken on new ar before the general complaints were made, the policemen kept the jail filled most of the | time. The arrests, though, with some excep- | tions, were for “disorderly proceedings”, | drunkenness and violations of iraffie regu- | lations, which did little to break up petty Now, though, the police are on to arrest men prowling around st seasonable hours. Three such men, one ar- rested for trespass, two for vagrancy, were jailed Tuesday sight. It is well for the police to continue to | “drunks”, and it is most important | up regulations, but they | men who are unable to give good reason for | their being abroad late at night. | As for the soldiers and sailors in our | community, there has been only one serious | infraction against the latter, though there | have been a good many complaints about their being altogether too presumptive with | women on thé streeis. That practice should | be stopped. It is refreshing, in that connection, io hear of a Key West woman who slapped a sailor’s face and took his cap when he tried | to become familiar with her. That cap, which he begged to be returned to him be- “married man”, will result in his identification. The woman, a widow, in refusing to return the cap, told him she | had two daughters, and that, if she did not | press her complaint against him, what as- | surance did she have that he would not ac- | cost her daughters, too? | But conditions could be worse in Key | West, far worse, because of its being so im- | And while the city, the county, the military authorities, | cusations sweepingly against this or that | social life. | Nothing is e to the unwilling. AMAZING PREDICTION, No. 1 On the anniversary of Japan’s treach- erous attack upon Pearl Harbor, the Japan; ese people heard their. officials mm aa the planned provocation of the United States and Great Britain. No citizen of the United States, so far as we know, has arisen at this time to as- sert that the Japanese officials are correct. With the nation at war, our isolationists and pacifists are quiet. , They understand that Strange as it may seem, we venture the prediction that in less than six months after will be prominent Americans to proclaim, that American partici- monger Roosevelt planned it that way.” i This forecast may seem amazing io some people, but it will be a repetition of what happened after the last war. Then ii ; now, when the war ends, ra will be President Roosevelt, who instituted Lend-Lease in a desperate effort to prevent the totalitarian aggressors from over- whelming all other nations in preparation: |? for an assault upon the United States.

The few months here, I have enjoyed: my stay; "Tis lovely here and the climate is sublime, I enjoyed a dip in the ocean at Christmas time, The gentle breezes and blue skies, Cool nights, and beautiful sunrise, * A picture that no artist could paint. The natives here, and their customs; quaint; Each endeavors to entertain you, doing their best— In America’s Southernmost City,-of Key West. Located on an island way down East, Inhabited not by vulturous-fowl or craven beast; Peace and quiet unbroken until the inroads of war Were driven here by the War God, Thor; And now, prosperity for all, unknown before, Just around the corner, and before every door, On every highway, lined with sfately palm trees, On this little island among the Florida Keys, All trying to win this war, doing their best, In this little Southernmost City, of Key West. The influx of people from far and near Have greatly crowded the natives here, But great fortitude they have shown,. For the Naval Activities have greatly grown, Until now it is a fact you,canndt alter. ~ This little island has become a second Rock of Gibraltar, Extending a helping hand to those at sea— Assuring all that the U.S. is ae home of the free; Doing its bikinothignmmdnal) the rest, Is this little Southernmost £ity, of Key, West. rr Tt : 'G.
