IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Consolidation of County and City Gov- ~ernments. A Modern City Hospital. SEND V-MAIL TO SERVICE MEN The people of the United States, enjoy- ing life almost as usual on the home front, ean hardly imagine the conditions which confront, American soldiers fighting in the various*theaters of war abroad. The fighting men of the United States, in camps and on the firing lines, are isolat- ed from their people, and, for the most part, receive little information from home. Na- } turally,they have not forgotten the land of their birth or the people they know, and, sometimes, when no mail arrives for a long time, they must have the suspicion that they | are the nation’s new “forgotten men.” Practically every visitor to our camps and fighting fronts brings back the message that the boys want mail from home. The im- | portant effect of mail upon soldier morale | is attested by officers and officials every- where. The man who fights for his count gets in touch with it, temporarily at least, when he reads a letter from his home folk. The Citizen calls this matter to the at- tention of its readers in thé hope that they will bear in mind the important part that | | to prevent the development of “power poli H HIGH TENSION The American dollar still will be | knocking around, dodging this person and | corraled by the other person, long, long af- ter you have gone to your last resting place. Song and laughter, on the one hand, and sorrow and tears, on the other, also will be a part of life when you are no longer experi- encing it. In these days of good business, with ing, you should not let money so obsess you no thought of your health is entertained. It | is well to be up-and-doing, but don’t over- do it; don’t let your tension mount so high it keep§ your heart pumping, with the “throttle”? wide open, like a fire engine throwing a stream on a flaming building. The thought for this editorial came to the writer when he was told a story about Key West's No, 1 industrialist, who has had enough to do to keep 20 normal men busy. The pace got so “hot” he firmly decided to let up a bit, to rest, to relax, to get his thoughts away from busines vl lee er Now, one can rest his mind- yjworking his body, provided the work is unrelated to his business. So Key West’s No. Lindustrial- | ist is raising chickens and taking*tavé-of a Vietory Garden. And he contrives to enjoy a siesta for half an hour or so every’ day.

His mind is fagged out, and, as his muscles get into play by swinging a pick, the exer- cise eases his mind. But it does more than that: it wakes up a lazy stomach, starts his digestive organs to function, as they won't work at his desk. time, and they are far more essential to a well-rounded life on the home front during the war. Get as many of the dollars as you can that are knocking around, but, in getting them, don’t exhaust yourself in the chase. If do you any good, Maintaining a high tension in getting them surely will impair your health, and even the most persistent dollar- chaser would not knowingly swap his health for all the dollars that were ever coined. think a bit and ease up on the high tension. to the limit for victory—they know that the most abject slaves in Hitler’s regime are the farmers. CAN WE END “POWER POLITICS” The idea is constantly expressed that the United States should take a firm hand iS tics” in Europe. This is a simple suggestion, obviously | of no practical value.
