He chick —— _ | Key West, under the wing of’ Miami, always is agcorded that stepchild treat- ment, and in no instance recently has that been more the case than in sending food- stuffs here, particularly meats. We have known of frequent trips that marketmen in efforts to obtain beef and other meat products, and time and. again they have returned empty-handed. When they. succeeded in obtaining ‘meat, it was only a small part-of what they ition? The answer is that the meats , i be sold at higher prices in Miami and | icinity through the Black Market than i could in Key West where dealers ad- There- | We have heard of some families that | |have gone as long as three months without | being able to buy meats, except sausages occasionally, and while those cases may be"! }extreme, it has been a general thing for Key Westers to go without beef for three But ifthe Tropical Quick-Freeze Com- pany does what its president, John Mc- Mahon, says it will do, then we no longer |informed The Citizen that he had 19,000 ounds. of beef on hand and is in a position ‘brine 25,000 pounds; weekly. to Key West ade jlistifies-his doing :so.

What had changed in the interval? The names were removed because of an hysterical impulse to judge all men by groupings rather than by the test of and behavior, These men, they. are of Japanese blood. The Japanese treacherous, cruel, barbarous. There- these men, of Japanese. ancestry, are treacherous.. They must.be, that is their iE iE destiny, as it is their ra¢e.: That is what was thought; and so the names were re- moved, F re was an outcry. It was national scale. This, small place, became a huge mis- country. “Look,” cried the will, the men Qf xeason, from map of;thé 48 states. “Look! ing what Hitler said, doing did. You are agreeing that be a Master Race, that blood. is. than environment, that ancestry powerful than the air of freedom.” of Hood River listened and, considerable moral courage (it is hard ‘knowledge an error publicly), they re- the names of the Niesi to the Honor . Now, in the time between removal and thé restoration, only one thing -had changed. _ 1 was that men realized, suddenly, that if £ all the Niesi were necessarily like their re~ mote cousins, the Japanese, then so, must Italiag-Amevicans, all Gorman; ns; that if, we hegan to, count out i EFize li He E ie salvation. God alone knew whose mai would next, because of his father, or. his . -vandfather, come off the Honor Roll. tf That is all that changed. We had bet- reer pry God that it remains clear in our minds mow, does not change again. It is ~, #0 enough that science has disproved the P. myth of blood: you must disprove it with > voor own mind and your own heart, by the £ ‘ealization that he who fights for freedom, cs” he who dies for freedom, spills only the “sbleed of freedom as he falls. Be very careful of making promises; some of them canbe collected in court. wate . Let's see: Who was it that-had an air- «forge that could overwhelm the world? * There are days when we don’t feel like woking, and there are days we do net work. In the waters around Key West there are about 650 various kinds of fish, but that is a small number compared. to. the - known variety of some 20,000 living spe- “«cles. However, these are distributed in all waters of the world, which comprise three- fourths of ita service. So in the. small. area, £ of Key West it appears we have-mere than # op abate of the denizens of the deep. hae a ee whose jancestors. had ever..done aj the more sblibdly’ “tipassion f briital or a cruel act, a barbarous’ act, we.femous, : shéuld find no one guiltless and all enh Nog man can be, in the full sense; al good man who is not a good citizen. Advertising produces results when it is. spent in the right medium; you know where we mean. If not, ask the advertising man of The Citizen. BLIND PREJUDICE ree ¥S ple often use the two words, “bh » alid “prejudice”, together. As a matter of fact, you don’t any more need “blind” as an adjective in front of “preju- dice” than you’ need “round” in front of “circle”? “Prejudice is. always blind. Webster's dictionary defines presudice asan “opinion adverse to anything without } just ;gvounds joy before sufficient knowl- | edge”. Right+there lies the clue to why | prejudice is so hard to overcome. Preju dice is not considered judgment. Prejudice’ is purely emotional. x A violent dislike for people who are “different” can usually bé traced to one of two reasons. Hither the person with th prejudice allows his emotions to rule hi mind, ov else he feels insecure and, because of. his insecu ty, needs to feel superior to somebody. So although our whole demo concept is based.on the “self-evident” that all men are created equal, we are fre- tic quently ham-strung in defending this} equality. Not that we ,are slevastated by. , the logic of the prejudiced, ut by the fact that they hava #6 Jo: ih ure, theref t dnd! ge People is) Hija act upon itt than they realize.
