A Modern City Hospital. ACCIDENTS AND WARFARE Every American is impressed by the casualty. lists and anxiously await the in- creased toll that the war will take of Amer- ican manhood. The National Safety Council points out that accidental death list far exceeds the war toll. In the first fourteen months of the war, the nation lost 10,150 dead, while ac- cidents in the same period took 53,000 lives, The wounded, missing and prisoners of war totaled 55,200 others during the same period, but 4,750,000 Americans were in- | jured on and off their jobs. The figures given are tor casualties to | workers during the fourteen months since Pearl Harbor. If we include all Americans, | the accident toll since Pearl Harbor aggre- ; gates. 109,000 killed 11,000,000 injured. It is apparent and approximately that this power of the nation. Evéry Americangeyen if careless about his or her fate, should strive, in loyalty to the nation, to avoid ac- cidents and the loss of time that they en- | tail. Every day’s work means the production | ist our boys in their fight- | of weapons to a! ing. - REPRESENTATIVE NONSENSE Representative Jed Johnson, of Okla- homa, recently told Secretary of Labor Perkins that “unless this absentee and strike | racket stops in war industries, Congress is going to do something about it, whether you | can of not.” The question naturally arises, “Why has not Congress done something about { already? legislation. If there country, it is the business of congressmen is to pass whatever laws may be helpful in | correeting the condition complained of. Nothing is gained by idle words, such as those used by Mr. Johnson, unless he knows | how to make Congress do something. If he does, this is his chance. “A man at cross purposes. with the world” is a phrase used. by a visiter the | other day to describe a citizen of Key West We trust it did not refer to you, who is read ing this item!

How erinobling, too, it is to realize that some of these dollar donors are hold- ing fat government jobs! How thrice ennob- { ling it is to realize that, while’our youths front patriots down to the last sandwich, to give the great. } lax te our band of workers in human misery ! Y keep our chirs up so high they will cut a rift in the storm clouds, ly, so down will pour water “impetuously,’ as Milton said, to refresh | beautiful flowering plants! Uncle Sam has shoveled ‘in ‘millions, ‘and i: | still shoveling them in, we have organized | the Grand Army of Dollar Donors! It surely is inspiring when we think of and long with no other objective than t> | do all they can to help a cause of mercy, going from house to house, from business to business, in Key West and running spang- be inspiring ! All hail to the Dollar Donors! They are giving “the last full measure of devotion,’ giving so generously they surely must worry over where they are going to get a dime for stintingly on the home front, while our boys sweat and bleed and die while fighting to keep our homes inviolate! All hail, all honor, to the Dollar Don- ors! Contribute once and you will be soli- cited many times, Making new friends is one of the pleasant experiences that make life easier and brighter. It is good propaganda to permit our allies to believe that the war will end next year and that we-have no doubts about em- erging the winners. Governor Holland has_ proclaimed March 8-15 as “Sight Conservation Week” in’ recognition of the state’s leadership through the Council for the Blind in advanc- ‘ing the welfare of those who have lost | their sight. ce eS Will Fresident Roosevelt run for the presidency next year for the unprecedented fourth term? It is futile to ask him that question for he doesn’t know himself. One thing is definite, he Wil HOt THM if héthink he cannot win. He has the experience of Senator Norrisjbeforeghia | swallow the bitter pill of defeat. We do not | need the Gallup poll to prognosticate that if the war is still in progress he will run and will be elected. ALLIED UNITY SHOULD LAST Sir Godfrey Haggard, British Consul General for the United States, advances the best argument for the continuation of allied unity after the war, when he says “we know what will happen to us if we | don’t” stay united. Anybody who can understand what happened in Europe and Asia, between 1918 and 1943, knows that unless the United Na- tions stick together*there will be another war in twenty or thirty years after the present conflict ends, , The officials of the United Nations know this fact. The peoples believe it now, | under the threat of defeat. Whether they will keep it in mind, when evil has been overthrown, remains for future years to reveal, In the United States we frankly fear , that there will develop another passion for _ Peace, with emphasis upon the money to be saved by disarmament. There will be, again, the old yarh about armaments lead- ing us into war and a new crop of Amer- icans will easily believe that this nation “is big enough to take care of itself without bothering about other parts of the world.” wholeheartedly also to this noble cause, | whose sole aim is to alleviate pain and save : '« Thus writes a former Key Wester who } .,; #8,in the thick of the battles in central Tu- | “And how ennobling it is to realize that | are risking their lives, these doughty home |! are depriving themselves, large, immense, astounding sum of one dol-- whenever they | gather over our generous-hearted city and | refuse to give us the rain we need so acute- | our trees and | Here, in our beloved Key.
