OUR BOYS EAT ~ Take a look at the best fed fighting mien in the world, our American boys! In case you didn’t know—he eats around 514 pounds of food a day and this is twice the amount that he ate as a civilian. That he needs it, goes without saying. He is better fed than over sixty per cent of the Civilian population and gets two to three times the niimber of calories a day than the average civiliah, This makes every parent in Key West happy, even if they haven’t a boy of their own in the forces. The individual com- pany mess ration includes usually the fol- lowing: Abuut one pound of meat, fish or poultry; one egg, one pint of milk, three ounces of fats, including butter; twelve ofnces of Irish potatoes, four, ounces of to- matoes and-aitrus. fruits, -seven ounces of leafy, green, . ‘ low., vegetablespytwo ownces of Ae Oe Also, meal carries Ail kaait Mah bread, be erp and dési he War Department this GATS bass on ¥6 anxi6 ents who wondered!

One reason why propaganda is so cffective, and why governments are én- abled-to put things over on an unsuspecting “YES,” THE ALLIES REPLY One Key Wester says: “The bully blares loudest when he’s cornered; the-liar, on being discovered, trumps up more lies to try to screen the ones he has already told.” Says another Key Wester: “You must becalking about Germany a nd Italy. Hitler and Mussolini are blaring louder now than ‘during any other time ‘since the war began about their. certainty of crushing the enemy. The only thing lack- ing in,the boasting is another attempt to try to scare the Aillied Nations with hints about a “terrible secret weapon.”’ Presum- ably the German and Italian propagandisis realize that the Americans and the English refuse to be frightened by “secret weapon” tales, and are:now trying.in other ways “‘to throw a scare’’ into the Allies. “Radio Rome and Radio Berlin are now talking about ‘suicide :raids’ on New York City, and, while raiding ‘that city or any cther in the United States is possible, the threat falls flat.” Rejoins the first Key Wester: “However, all our chuckling and all our laughter have not stopped Italy and Ger- many from issuing,.day in and day out, their tissue of lies. In ‘that‘regard, Italy is far Italians and the English, the gre decisively ‘trounced; half of their fleet‘lies on the bottom of the sea, but Italy still contirtues to.give out stories, wholly figments of the imagination, about the sink- ing of three or five or:a dozen—the matter of figures is of no consequence to the Ital- ian propagandists—British ships, almost al- ways one of them a battleship or airplane carrier. Since the war began the Italians have sunk at least twenty times more war- ships than ‘the British have ever had in this war.” Concludes the second Key Wester: “Hitler’s stentorian Propaganda Mir- ister Goering trumpets the threat that the the Allies, and while ‘his ‘tones are still re- sounditig; th roughout ‘the world mingled a are soft-voiced | peace-feelers e Allies by way: of supposedly neutral in. + “Who was. behind. the, peace-feelers? You may be.sure that both Hitler and Mus- sdlint were; artd it should-be-heartening* to cornered. bujlies ‘are now blaring loudest, ‘they are'trying gurreptitidusly to.learn if the Allies are receptive to peace.” “Yes,” the Allies reply ; “unconditional surrender.” Remember when doctors ordered us to eat less meat for health’s sake? Well, we’re doing just ‘that, but-not for health’s sake. The extent of the English Channel seems greater during war, at least wider than during the days when swimmers were making records. OUR AIRCRAFT :CARRIERS The services being rendered the na- tion, in its war emergency, by various vol- unteer, ips should not, be;overlooked. The iduals‘who give of ‘their time ‘to perform:what may seem to be routine duty to those who serve ‘the. public interest. One of the largest groups'is known as the Aircraft Warning Service, which oper- ates twenty-four hour duty, with more than a thousand volunteers advising the army as to the passage of aitcraft overhead. It is not easy for men, women and teen- age youngsters to keep vigil during the day and night, especially when the immediate tension is not overwhelming. Consequently, it is more commendable when a group, like the Ground Observer Corps, makes such 2 fine record of service.
