Papy, dur- his last visit here while the legislature deadlock caused by north Florida senators over the reapportionment issue will come to an end would be by a hard-hitting cam- paign by the newspapers of the state against the unjust attitude of the senate majority. a s A good many papers are hitting hard now and, if we are to judge by the reaction of Senator Lewis, leader of the north Flor- ida bloc that is bucking the constitution, the reealcitrants have begun to squirm un- der the criticism directed at them. The ‘holier-than-thou Lewis thinks it is an awful thing for south Floridians to de- elare that, as a result of the deadlock, they when they run for statewide offices, Senator Lewis clearly sees the mote in his neighbor’s eye, when he makes that kind of statement, but is unable to see the boulder in his own eye while he in- sistently flouts the constitution. If he thinks it is right and just for two- fifths of the state’s population to have 23 men in the senate and three-fifths of the people in south Florida to have only 15, then he does not believe in representative government, he does not believe in the foundation stone of democracy that the majority rules. The up-staters are a hardy lot, polit- ically speaking. They can give south Flo- ridians all the cards and all the spades too, and still win Out in statewide races. Down here we strive to report results at the polls at the earliest possible moment; up there the wise old boys in the political game hold back results, sometimes for several days, to “or Red Cross services. The man or woman returning to civilian life often has much tuesiness to transact, many decisions to make, No single agency can take care of ali needs, But the Key West Chapter of th American Red Cross is doing more than ewer te help the discharged service man and his family. : Able-bodied veterans eager to obtain work find the workers of the Key West Ohapter always ready to consult with them shout what they are best able to do and di- ret them to the best agency for employ- at or vocational training. Often a new job requires certain documents; the Key West Chapter helps secure marriage and birth certificates and other records. When an ex-service man gets ready to piesent his claims, he often needs help in {Bling out forms. The Key West Chapter ig staffed to render this service. The Red ‘ personnel in Veterans Administration ices are specialists in this work and will eet as his representative in presenting these claims to the rating board. The ex-service man himself is not the oply member of his family eligible for this aid. His wife, his children, or any recog- nixed dependents are welcome to this aid with all kinds of family and financial prob- ems. * To the disabled veteran, the Red Cross offers all the services offered to the able- bedied veteran. In addition, the disabled man and his family can get emergency financial aid if they need it until the first payment on his pension claim is made. PYeod and fuel, clothing and shelter—the Red Cross provides the means of all these necessities to the disabled veteran in need during this period of waiting. Key West is proud of its many service men and eager to help them settle down happily in the community. To this end every citizen should become familiar with the services offered by the Key West Chap- ter of Red Cross and help the returned vet- eran make the best use of them. Slacks reveal the facts.

Nothing remarkable about that! Did you ever see a ship that didn’t pitch? . wipe out majorities not to ‘their liking. If ever a man was nominated for gov- ernor of Florida, that mart was “Homestead Bill” Hodges in the first 1936 Democratic primary, but the up-staters didn’t want Bill, so they held back sufficient votes to slip in Fred Coné, 30,000 behind W. Raleigh PRetteway. The latter looked like a sure winner in the second primary, but we babes in the woods, down here in south Florida, failed to reckon with the political puddling in the northern reaches of the state, and the boys up there gave us Cone, whom we had never heard of before he announced his candidacy. And north Florida senators aré now giving us a dose of political puddling ‘in more concentrated form by deadlocking the reapportionment act. There is too much inflation in the things you buy, and too much deflation in the things you have to sell. COLONEL BURIES MARINE SON From the battle-scarred island of Oki- nawa comes the picture ‘of a gray-haired colonel, praying over the body of a fallen American soldier, one of the privates in his own regiment. It is the picture of Col. Francis I. Fen- ton, of California, and under the flag of his country lies the body of his son, 19 years of age, who died while fighting the Japs on that island bastion. The colonel would be sarcastically de- nominated a “brass hat” by our epithet- throwing columnists, He knows the futility of warfare and. the price that ‘brave men pay in the service of their country. He also knows, no doubt, that sometimes the price is excessive because of sentimental pacifists who believe not in preparedness. We think the American people can take some pride in the attitude of most offi- cers toward the welfare of men under their command, There is abundant evidence that the lives of American fighting men have been the great concern of our military and active service. ——— Dodging work is an art with some people who rarely fail to make a bow for the results accomplished. FOOD SHORTAGE AHEAD Declaring that the food shortage will constitute a “genuine crisis” in northeast- ern states within 60 days, Governor Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, joined with Gov- ernor Raymond B. Baldwin, of Connegti- cutt, to call a conference of 13 governors to discuss the situation, particularly the short- age of meat, ‘poultry and eggs. This should emphasize the warning, broadcast by responsible federal officials, that the nation faces its tightest food situa- tion in the coming six months. It should encourage individuals to plant gardens and take definite steps to insure a certain sup- ply of food as far as possible. no longer will support north Floridians |’ naval leaders, many of whom have sons in } — it 38 Bid I’ve disappointed you—hurt you, too, but can’t you see that» I'm right?
