KEEP UP THE GOOD SERVICE To use a few big words, The Citizen is not familiar with the intricacies, the com- | plexities and the ramifications of the dif- | ferences that have split the City Council in twain, with three on one side and three on | the other, on the question of buying trucks for the ccllection cf tra is concerned only in seeing that the residents of this community are given service in the removal of refuse from their yards, So long as the service is kept in opera- | | tion, there is little objection to the exist ing differences, but this outstanding neces- | sity the council should keep in mind: con- | cilmen on both sides | mandirg quick and | work better tinue collecting garbage while the hawing and hemming goes on. The situation is some- | thing like that of a grumbler, who keeps | ; on working while he grumbles. Such an at- | titude is by no means satisfying, but if the grumbler does his work well, we put up with his complaining in times of stress. At present the council has five trucks | collecting refuse, and they are operating at top speed. Those very differences may have something to do with the fast work the scavenger men are performing. The coun- of the fence are de- efficient service and are getting it. At the rate refuse is being collected now, the trucks will be operated on a more systematic basis within a few d Schedules can be made and adherred to, if the work continues at the pace that | has been set in the last few days. makes and faster, too. Benvenuto Cellini turned out cutstanding masterpieees while he quar- “Fighting mad’ some of us The great {reled with Pope Clement VII, and Cellini himself says in his autobiography that the angrier he was the faster and better he could work. The Citizen is not lining-up with either side in the council’s three-three spli. But there is one thing The Citizen cannot understand, and it probably has stumped the residents of Key West also, and that is this: as the council required a majority vote to negotiate for the purchase of truc how did it come about that, when the time | came to buy the trucks, the vote became a tie? However, the big thing is to give Key West good service in the collection of gar- bage while the councilmen find a way to bring their differences to an end. TIME TO HELP The right of any business to advance by the initiative of its owner or manage- mert, operating on a competitive basis, has given this country a merchandising system that is now of incalculable value io con- sumers in money saved, and in the greater variety and better quality of products and merchandise offered. Retail stores never before faced such problems as today. Securing goods for dis- tribution requires expert knowledge, fore- sight and an understanding of laws and regulations heretofore unheard of in this nation, There is one request that merchants now make of all consumers: Between now and the time full war rationing takes effect | hoard. The mer- ; late in February, don’t chants ask this because they are cooperai- ing with government to the utmost to avoid disruption of consumer supplies. Merchan- disers, no matter how efficient, cannot dis- tribute products that don’t exist. Lend-lease and military demands have made deep in- roads on supplies of all kinds. It is up to the consumer to cooperate in dividing what is left. WHERE IS THE JAP ARMY? The New York Times asks: “What has happened to the Japanese Army and why?” Tt reminds us that six months ago the Japanese were ready to march into Siberia and a month or two ago they were set for a campaign from Burma toward Chung- | king. Certainly, the Japanese Army con- tinues to be a stronger military machine | than most Americans thought a few years ago. Apparently, it is held in place by some shortage, either of planes or ships. The probability is that the Japanese lack ships. This is clearly seen in the inability of | the Japanese to land reinforcements and | supplies in New Guinea and on Guadal- canal. The persistent use of cruisers and de- stioyers to make speedy dashes during ihe night, in the effort to land some suppliés, demonstrates a shortage of cargo vessels, or what is worse from the Japanese stani!- point, the complete loss of sed and aif ¢on- sh and garbage, and ; — ! | itil ‘s pe ‘KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY |FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN OF JANUARY 2%. 1333 | cellor of Gerinany” 18 the headline |of an Associated Press Dispatch | from Berlin published on the front page of The Citizen today.
