MARRIAGES An: ail-time high for duictinges set in 1941 when 1,800,000 couples decided | ruhat lif uld be sweeter if tney bezame | thusbands and wives. We would like ® + : to think that every- | y brides will never regret the day in thei zlives that united them in wedlock. Unfor- | ttunaiely, statistics are stubborn facts and | 3d not permit such a hope to become accep*- ted as a fact. While many of the 1942 couples wiil ive happily ever after, or approximately so, ome of them will be hating each other in few years, Such is the frailty of human | : enature and there is little to be done about sats z | leaders, Information, in a formal statement, declares | This is the only way for Allies to fight | matters; sof detail | ful mil} he was entitled to the conii- | and American ne oi the happy grooms and equally hap- | EVERY MAN TO HIS OWN CALLING Key West, in common with other cities throughout the country, has its rock- ing-chair strategists who are convinced | they know just what tactics to pursue to win the war. i No truer adage was ever uttered than “Every man to his own calling.” Here are ; two stories that bear out that point; Horse mackerel or cefos were biting | | almost as fast as one’s baited; hook, struck ‘ the water at_a point a hundreg Yards south | of the Wisteria, a derelict that Jay. on,the American Bank, across the channel from Curry’s wharf. The writer had tried to get live pil- | | chards for bait, but they were scarce, and | Peter Roberts said, ‘““Tomtates are just good.” So the writer arrived at the fishing grounds with a small car of tomtates, hook- ed on one and threw his line overboard. Tommy Thompson, one of the fishermen | at the drop, pulled in mackerel as fast as | he could bait his hook and throw it over- | board. Pilchards were Tommy’s bait. Not a mackerel struck at the writer’s line. After five minutes or so, he pulled in | his line, rebaited it and threw it overboard | again. Still not a strike,'‘and Tommy kept on pulling ’em in. “Say,” Tommy ,calléd out, “what are, you using for bait?” “Tomtates. Peter Roberts says they’re | just as good as pflchards.”’ The writer, from where he sat, detect- | ed a knowing flash in Tommy’s eyes. ” Peter Roberts,” Tommy remarked so dryly the | | fastest fish scaler in Key West.” | More than 400 years ago, Cellini, the | | | worker in a dozen and one other branches of art, visited, on his first trip to Paris, Pietro Bembo, who was then and had been for many years Italy’s outstanding literary figure. Cellini consented to make a miniature of Bembo, who, four years later, in 1539, | was made a cardinal by Pope Paul, III. Two hours after Cellini had started to with a mumbled apology, but not} upon to join the fight against Me] ign acentiior tel Rlorida model Bembo’s head, that great writer ex- claimed in admiration, “What a master- |” piece! Well done, my dear Benvenuto!” In commenting on Bembo’s exclamation, | Cellini said: “T had barely started to work. Instead of completing it in two hours, it would re- quire 200 hours to bring it to a state of per- pectior. Bembo stood aloof and alone in his calling, but he knew _ nothing about mine. So those rocking-chair strategists, some of whom have never fired a gun in their lives, should leave it to our military who are trained in the “art” of | war, as Peter Roberts is trained in scaling fish and Pietro Bembo was trained in writ- | ing, to plan and wage the campaigns that | ultimately will crush Germany, Italy and | Japan. CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS Out of the millions of men who have been “élassified under Selective Service, there emerges only 6,277 to be classed as conscientious objectors, j ‘These figuxes reveal that the problem does not assame military importance. Con, to what many persons believe, the | conscientious objector does not lack couy- | age. It takes considerable stuff to stand out ugainst the call of the nation and the almost unanimous cooperation of the people in time | of war. | The trouble with most conscientious objectors relates to their intelligence. They are usually possessed of high ideals; earn- | | estly desire a better world but are utterly | | unable to orient themselves in the aetual * world which contrasts so vividly with their | | dream world.
