The statement is true but the interest- wonder just how man is “conquer himself.” The explanations will very with the nationality, religion and experience of those giving the elucidation. It might be a good idea for some of us to try this business of conquering our- elves. which means in essence the control selfishness, upon a smaH scale, say at home, or in-business affairs. Maybe,-by giving some of our means and time fo the development of Key West, its resources.and its people we will be able to ‘approach the questions which cross boundaries and face the difficulties of misunderstand- ngs based upon ignorance and prejudice s well as greed. It should not ed wil] naturally to larger be assumed, however, that the individual, by becoming exceed- ngly generous, can settle all issues. There must be reciprocity on the part of at least a considerable portion of the human beings that make up the population of the globe. It cannot be asserted at the present time that the prospects are too bright but all of individua can make a try at be- ng the proce The workman too has his capital; it is his power to work. Critics of the President's labor policy assert that his demand that industry should be required to open its books, in connec- tion with arguments abouterbitity togmeet wage demands, is an invasidn of ‘the rights of private enterprise. A Hollywood (Fla.) saloon keeper was fined $300 and costs in the municipal court on pleading guilty to charges of sell- ing bolita tickets. If fines like that were plastered on in Key West where bolita shops are rampant, it would yield thou- sands of dollars monthly for the depleted coffers of the city. “NEST EGGS” FOR “RAINY DAYS” Economists consider the sale of post- age stamp stock in a city as of first im- portance in determining business condi- tions, and, using that as a barometer, busi- ness conditions in Key West were just as good in 1945 as they were in 1944, for the decrease in the sale of stamp stock in the Key West Post Office fell off only $11,- 853.70 in 1945 as compared with 1944. From a strictly local viewpoint, the sales were better last year than in 1944, because, as Postmaster Hollon R, Bervaldi explained, service men and women spent large amounts for airmail and registered postage, for the free use of the mail by them applied only to first-class letters. Be- sides, the service men and women sent out thousands of packages, for which they had to pay. During 1945, shortly after the war with Germany ended, hundreds of army and navy personnel left Key West, and on some days the total ran around dne hun- dred. Their departure became even more pronounced after the Japs were knocked out of the war. } But even with the loss of the revenue | from the personnel that had gone away, | the volume of sales of stamp stock in the post office fell off less than $12,000. On the other hand, the increase in postal savings amounted to $354,501, am other ‘proof: thate business conditions still are good in Key West. Incidéntally,{ the postal savings now amount to, $2,164,659, an indication that many Key Westers are putting away “nest eggs” for the ‘rainy-days’that.are sure to come. Haw, Haw! Most naval officers consider “merger” synonymous with ‘“‘spurlos versenkt.” Everybody is for justice and equality when it looks like justice and equality has something for them. The trouble with politics is that when you get one set of politicians out-of office, you héve enotht set in office .

Confusion and overlapping authority in Washington are causing de- lays, but Congress is’ making an_ effort to untangle the maze and get the property ito the hands of veterans. Veterans’ preferences aren’t so gen- erous as might be supposed at first glance. Actually first options on surplus war goods go to federal agencies and state and local governments. After they have been served the veterans may gt what they want if they can find it. In time thesproc« will be simplified so that the vet canget phat he wants. If so, small btsitiess dm ‘this country will experience a Feenmdous upsufge: Enough veterans wi an inclination; to start out for themselves to provide a stimulus in the directign of the old Jeffersonian goal of an America that is a nation mostly of small merchants and farmers. A large cash donation carries its own influence—in any organization. What about the little child whose stocking Santa Claus forgot to fill? Health insurance has thé same rela- tion to doctors that life insurance has to un- dertakers, or should we say morticians. ONLY THE BANKER CAN LEND There is no great mystery connected with the $3,700,000,000 loan to Great Britain. The United States has become the banker-nation of the earth, and as banker, must make loans to other nations or permit’ trade to wither. Inasmuch as we have a tremendous stake in keeping the free enter- prise system going we must be ready to support it with cash. ; The idea that we are giving away money is absurd. Like a bank, in Key West or anywhere else, the nation is lend- ing credit to a customer which should be able to repay the loan while developing | financial strength on its own account, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Chapter 24 [Tuesday 5:58 a.m. to 6:45 a.m.] HE didn’t know whether she had slept or not before she was disturbed again.

Alma—poor dazed Alma—had said something that made the In- ; spector believe he had sufficient evidence to arrest her. She stood in her slip and sur- veyed the rack of dresses. Will they send me more clothes in jail? Some queer practical turn made her choose a sheer black woollen dress, simply made, in case she had to wear it a long time. The very fact of choosing it for that reason calmed her somewhat. Her fingers moved efficiently to dust powder over her face and smooth red paste on her lips.

She thought fleetingly that it would be nice to walk through the park in the early morning.
