PAGE FOUR LATEST LENT OF CENTURY TO START TODAY CAUSED BY AN ASTRONOMI- CAL CONDITION OCCURRING ONCE IN A HUNDRED YEARS ey pur (By Associated Prenny CHICAGO, Mar, ., Christian world © will Pune Serving today the latest Lenten Period of the 20th century be- cause of an astronomical condi- tion occurring but once in a hun- dred years. Maude Bennot, director of the oe planetarium and astronomi- cal museum, said. Monday that March 10 and April 25 rik the latest possible dates in the cal- endar on which Ash Wednesday and Easter, respectively, may fall. The last time, Easter was this late was in 1886; the next time will be in 2038, _. “The peculiar rules for select- ing Easter and Ash Wednesday were made in 325 A.D. at the coun- cil of Christian churches at Nicea in Asia Minor,” Miss Bennot re- called, According to that decision, Easter falls on the first Sunday after the 14th day of the moon falling on or ‘after the vernal equinox (first day of spring), which this year falls on March 21. Explaining the mathematics of Easter, Miss Bennot said the moon which comes after the vernal equinox this year begins on April 4. Fourteen ‘days after that date is April 18, which happens to fall on a Sunday, and the next Sun- day after that date is April 25, of Easter. Once the Easter date is deter- mined, Ash Wednesday is found by counting back 40 days—the Jength of Lent—not counting Sundays, thus bringing this year’s date to March 10, Miss Bennot said. She added that if the March new moon, which came last Sat- urday, had fallen one day later, on the seventh, Easter would have come on March 28, nearly a month earlier than it actually does. NO FURTHER WORD ON CONDENSED MILK The Key West Chamber of Com- merce has received no further in- formation from Food Administra- tor Claude Wickard’s office about the request of 28. local grocers that 400 cases of Nestle’s brand condensed milk be sent to Key ‘West monthly for the use of ba- bies in this community. In the letter from Wickard’s of- fice, it was suggested that evap- orated milk be substituted for the condensed milk, but, during the last week or so, it has been a dif- ficult matter to purchase evap- orated milk in Key West. A comparatively few small cans of evaporated milk have been available, but the large cans have not been obtainable, that is, at a score of groceries where inquiry ‘was made for large cans. PLAN PARTY NIGHT AT CHURCH CENTER The “Junior Hostesses,” a new group being mobilized for the} Congregational Service Center, will sponsor a Party Night there Thursday evening.

REVENUE OFFICER SUGGESTS METHOD OF SAVING TE SHOWS THAT IT WILL BE MORE CONVENIENT TO PAY WITH CHECK OR MONEY ORDER Howard Wilson, deputy in- came tax collector in Key West, Said this afternoon that the peo-' eof, this.city, who have not bors paid their taxes, can save themselves a great deal of time and inconvenience if they will mail their statements to him and enclose a cashier’s check, a postal or express money order, or a personal check. He added that Key West is the only place in Florida where pay- ment is made almost wholly with money. It is a bottleneck, Mr. Wilson stated, that can eas- ily be remedied by mailing statements to him, with en- closures of the amounts to be paid. As it is now, he added, the line of people extends from his office to the hallway while they wait to make payments in cash. *Anewers'to.

PEOPLE’S FORUM - ‘The Cinsen sions of ers, but Ur EK : ion was attracted to the pr a a The Citizen of March 3, entitled, “Hitler Couldn’t Do Better,’?) which states that Puerto Rico is a guinea pig, being used for Social Experiments; al- so that “the people of Puerto Rico have futilely opposed the destruc- tion of private ownership.” At this distance, and with my limited sources, I can not cite facts controverting the statements made in the editorial. I do not know just how vulner able Governor Tugwell may be. I fancy that he is sharing a mud- bath with Senator Pepper and for about the same reasons. Senator Pepper has advocated a cooperative sugar mill in the Everglades so that the independ- ent small farmer could grow a patch of cane and remain inde- péndent. Goxernor Tugwell has antagon-| ide’ such men as Don Manuel, a Spaniard who, according to “Life” is‘the owner of 57,000 acres of ri¢h sugar lands and who is worth “rheaning he possesses) $29,000,- 000.00. There are other owners with that much concentration, there is terrible destitution. Regardless of Governor Tug- well’s ideals and performances, it is evident that he is up against a situation that a kindly man would not wish on a houn’ dog. The same inexhaustible wealth that financed Franco in Spain, is back of whoever will vilify the attackers of an ungodly monopoly the pros and cons, this much stands out clearly: A landless people, an average income of $170.00 per year and a few land- lords counting their acres by the thousands and their money by the millions. It would seem that something should be done. Nothing that could be done to change the wretched status quo would fail to evoke the same murderous en- mity that is being poured out on the present Puerto Rico adminis- tration. Tugwell might be the wisest, or ; landlords would . overcrowd — the in Puerto Rico. Regardless of all} the picture of him presented to us by Don Manuel and his fellow monopolists? Stephen Cochran Singleton, Key West, Fla., March 9, 1943. ABOUT EVERYTHING Editor, The Citizen: Sorry to take your time with my questions, but so many en- couraging rumors are circulatin, Is it true that Eaton street is going to be swept clean before next Sunday, and that we don’t have to carry the garbage to the street, we'll get service as good as before with only approximately 30 percent increase in cost, and that the city has decided not to! go further in debt, because tax- payers who should pay city taxes have no money? Have the Landlords’ Associa- tion and rent control come to the conclusion that every man has the right to say that he paid for his home or pronerty, and that it’s his, and if you want to live in it, that the owner has the right to say if he wants you in his house or not, and that he has the right to set the price for the rental? Is it true that the Aqueduct} Commission has considered posi- tively no compulsory installment of sewerage as material and labor are at a premium, fearing that ill | new city hospital that the govern- ment is going to give the city free of charge as compensation for faithful service and cooperation? I understand that the food cou- pon question is being considered where Victory Gardens are im- possible, and we might live and have enough for the children. I walked all over town last week trying to get a _ pair of stockings. Two kind storekeepers offered me chocolate colored hose at a fabulous price. By the way, don’t say they are: using coupons for stockings. We are glad we are getting them whenever we can. I remember as a little girl I was playing in the snow; a little Rus- sian boy and his father came through the yard. The little boy ran across the yard, bere feet in the snow. As the. little boy had no shoes or stockings, and he was freezing, I quickly took, mine off} and gave them to him. My mother said that is your last pair. My father said that I -rould get an- other pair. They are not here to further: discuss if I did right or wrong. I hope he - is a stocking manufacturer. STRANGER.
