To be honest is to be just. A just man or woman looks at both sides of a question just as an honest judge or jury must do. What one might prefer person- ally. is another matter. My home is on Duval street and naturally we are often deeply annoyed by the noise of singing, yelling drunks and it’s » by no means sailors all the time as some would have us think. | Have I ever been personally in- sulted? The answer is no. Do we blame the barkeepers if there is disorderly conduct on the street? That is up to the law enforcement and I often think the shore patrol and mili- ary police are too lenient when the boys get too noisy and rowdy. An officer of the navy once told me if we knew what horror and suffering some of the men have been through and others knew they were going into, we would be slow to criticize the boys for “popping off” a bit. If I saw a dog fight I would want it to be a fair one. There are people on Duval street in the liquor business that own their own property, have raised good families. There is a woman at the foot of Duval whose hus- band is dead, Her son is in the service of his country. She owns her building and, is working there to make a living. There is on Duval street another woman who’ is«running ner husband’s businéss* while he serves in the Marine Corps for us at home. I ni ow either of the ladies I joned, but there are pat oe ,People, too. And who gave them the city. license to operate these bars? Our city council, of course. Are there too many bars on Duval street? Most certainly. But will our city council grant them their license, let them in- vest in buildings, leases, fixtures and stock with their life sav- ings and then say to heck with ‘em, “we'll close them all from water edge to water edge”. Nothing so high-handed has ever happened to my knowledge outside of what Hitler did to the Catholics and Jews. And that, my friends, is why our sons are in the war today. There are too many bars on Duval street but the simplest way-to help matters would be to" revoke the license of any place with an evil reputation. Will it be any cure’ to run)them off the business streets to spread al}, over town in the residential district? I am _ simply All- American enough to resent our city’s governing body doing anything so un-American, unfair and unconstitutional. This is not} intended as a direct criticism of our council body. It’s only an honestly spoken rebuke for their thoughtlessness. There are mer on our council whom I voted for before and I shall be happy to vote for them when they run again, And I think all but one of the present council will run again. When we piously say our Alle- GUARD'S” TRAINED AT ST. AUGUSTINE A Coast Guard quota for June of 100 men to be trained at St. Augustine was announced Tues- day, June 1, from Miami by Gun- ner H. A. Wessel, district Coast Guard recruiting officer. Seventeen-year-olds and men between the ages of 38 and 45 are eligible for enlistment. Informa- tion can be obtained from any Coast Guard unit and applications can be made through the Miami recruiting station, 90 N.E., Second Avenue. All 17-year-olds who can pre- sent a birth certificate, or equi- valent proof of birth, and parents’ consent papers properly filled and notarized, will have transporta- tion paid to Miami where enlist- ments are completed. Return transportation will be provided if not accepted. In order to avoid delays in en- listment, applicants are asked to provide full name and address of both parents—or court-appointed guardian in ;thé ‘case of deceased Seventeen‘year-olds unable to present a birth certificate are asked to supply the Miami recruit- ing office with full name, date and place of birth. * New opportunities for volun- teers to continue their education were revealed by Gunner Wessel. | Under a program of the Armed Forces Institute extension courses for both high school and college credit have been made available. Successful completion of courses will add credits toward either high | school or college diplomas. In addition June volunteers! will have opportunity to apply for the many Coast Guard schools which are available to men after they have completed basic train- | ing.
