The House of Commons was destroyed by fire bombs and high explosives in May, 1941. A tem- porary home was found but later the House r turned to the Parliament buildings, bor- rowing the House of Lords for its sittings. During the robot bomb attacks of 1944, when the buildings were unsafe because of their quantities of glass, the House went back to its temporary meeting place. Later, during the V-2 rocket bombardment, the House members stuck it out in the old Par- liament building. There are many people who, for vari- ous reasons, do not like the British, but every free man in the world must be con- scious of the debt that the world owes the nation which, in 1940, momentarily expect- ed invasion and, while without adequate means for defense, responded to the famous “ Gaek-to-the well speech” of Prime Min i ‘er Churchill, who then uttered his mem crable words: “We shall fight on the beaches, ight en the landing ground, we » the fields snd in the streets, ieht inthe hills, ndeor.” we shall we We shall never sur- Never try to get CeIn for noth- it’s expensive in the long run.

Besides, smaller sales are being made | in Key West daily, as though our present | prosperity will continue indefinitely. While all of us would be happy to hope that such | will be the case, yet we need have only a ‘| slight. knowledge of economic conditions {| to know that here, as well as elsewhere in she United States, there will be a slacken- ‘ng up of business, though, to hope again, ‘et us feel the decrease will not be decided and, while feeling, do all we can to pro- mote the progress of our city. But, aside from’ our hopes and our s, all of us, who have any dealings in realty or Stock Market trans- actions, are aware that what goes up must come down. The market, beginning to show signs of “life’’ in 1923, increased those signs until a boom was in full swing, and then came the crash in 1929; in Florida signs of activity in realty showed at an earlier date, in the fall of 1921, but, despite the upward trend of the Stock Market in 1925, the realty bubble burst in Florida in that year. In the early days of the realty boom, The Citizen warned speculators to beware that they would not be noiding the “bag”? when the crash came, and they ha-ha-ed and de- elared they would not be caught, and not only were they caught but many of us that gave them advice were caught also. Mother’s Day may be a racket in some respects, but mothers are not responsible. There are some people who continue to show more interest in denouncing the British and the Russians than in fighting the Japs and the Germans. Hans Fritsch, the right-hand man of Goebbels, s the body of Hitler has been disposed of in such a manner that it will never be found, Possibly, in that case, the remains were cremated and _, the thrown to the winds, or it may have been dissolved in quick lime as was the body of Czolgosz, the assassin of President Mc- Kinley.
