STOP TONGUE WAGGING Why didn’t The Citizen publish such- and-such a story? Why didn’t The Citizen tell about ‘this boat’s arriving or that one’s departing? Persons who ask those questions seem- | ingly are unaware we are at war, and noth- ing is knowingly published in The Citizen | or any other newspaper that may prove of | benefit to the enemy. If the Americans in the streets and in | their homes would observe the govern- ment’s request not to say anything that will divulge military information to the enemy as strictly as newspaper do, there wouid j not be any necessity of conducting a drive, | as is being done this week, to point out to Americans how important it is to the welfare of our country not to indulge in any loose talk that may result in the loss of a ship or | the loss of lives of our fighting men. ‘T heard today that. If you hear anything of a military nature do not repeat it. The report, for all you know, may have been started by an enemy in our midst. Don’t think for a moment that the Nazis and the Japs have no spies in the United States. | The spies are here, operating surreptitious- ly. One may be talking to you now, trying to draw you out, so that information may be obtained that will be transmitted by short wave to Germany or Japan, The information you give out be immensely important to the enemy. — It may tip him off to the sailing of a ship or a convoy; it may let him know where Amer- | ican planes or warships are based. It is astonishing how,many thousands | of Americans who should know better are unable to determine whether this or that bit of military information may prove import- ant to the enemy if it came into his posses- | sion. Recently, the wife of a navy officer ix Key West called up The Citizen and rebuk- ed it for not stating the place to which her husband had been transferred. The Citi- zen explained that it was published as it was given out by the Public Relations Of- | fice of the Naval Operating Base in Key West, and that the presumption was the | commandant did not want it to be known the unit to which her husband had been as- NICE WORK! _ There is an interesting bit of news tuck- ed into a column, conterning the way one manufacturing plant undertakes to solve | the food shortage for its employes and fam- ilies. Labor problems and trials find their way readily enough into print and so when one comes across such an encouraging item as this one, it makes us happy to pass it along. A company that manufactures. those bantam cars we term “jeeps,” has leased a hundred-acre farm on which to grow vege- tables for the folks who are working there. Six hundred and fifty families will benefit, Produce will be sold to the employes at cost, and if cost exceeds the market price the employes pay the market cost and the com- pany absorbs the loss. Men will be hired at factory rates, to run this farm, but if this doesn’t work out the company officials signed. “But everybody in Key West knows we've got so-and-so here,” she countered. An editor of The Citizen reminded her that the enemy might issuing the information. She replied she would appreciate it if i The Citizen said nothing further about her husband without consulting her! Imagine that, and her husband in the Navy and amenable to what his superiors | say! : Key Westers should, bear in mind that our island is an exceedingly important de- fense area, and, knowing that, we should not let our tongues wag about any informa- tion of a military nature. Cynical philosophy: Believe that you hear and only half that you see. plan to use plant employes, with farm ex- perience and work the farm ‘In ‘shifts. No farmer-war worker Will be absent from thé factory more than,two days at a time an his place in the factory will We takén by} fellow workers whé-will double up during’ his absence. It sotnds:}ike good sense to us! ». GLAMOROUS ROAD In the United States there are a million fine young singing voices—more or less— a certain number of the owners of which are ambitious for a career in the opera. They have many auditions, local, regional and sometimes national, and a few win a final chance to storm the stage door of the Metropolitan Opera in New York. It is a trying trail to that point, but all things considered, including the visions of youth, | it is the most glamorous road America of- fers. Pafrice Munsel, who is 17, of Spokane, Washington; a. coloratura soprano, and | Christing Johnson, 26, of Hopkinsville, Ken- tucky, have just taken it. Each won a Metro- politan contract, a cash prize of $1,000 and } a silver plaque. It will be careers, They have yet to meet the hard- boiled critics and the whimsical public, bar- | riers which succumb as frequently to hard | work and luck as to talent. ey interesting to watch their | PAGES VOTE FOR LEGISLATORS The Iowa House of Representatives | a new voting machine, with green and d voting buttons on the desks of the mem- bers, who vote yes or no by pushing the buttons, which are automatically recorded. The other day, newspaper reporters were surprised when fifty-nine votes were recorded for one measure, although they could count only fifty-five members pres- ent. and clerks had seated themselves at the desks of absent members, casting votes for them by pushing buttons. As a result, the vote on fifteen meas- ures which had passed is under suspicion and reballoting may be considered neces- sary. 3. Grandfather might rudely have eaten with his knife, but at least grandfather ate! “95 PER CENT TOGETHER” Americans. who have nothing else to worry about bother themselves about fanci- | ful tales of dissension among the United Nations. They may be comforted by the recent remark of President Roosevelt that “so far | in all conferences we have held with other members of the United Nations, we are Anthony Eden was surprised at our in- | terest in the war in the Pacific; the Aus-| tralians.are amazed at what they consider | amazing statement,” but adds, “it happens |.
