GODSEND TO MILLIONS Even were a book written about the distress in European countries, it would be difficult for us in Key West to realize fully the extent of want and suffering in that part of the world. We complain about the shortage of sugar or butter, and some of us let off a good deal of steam over 9 our inabilit y to buy, tires. In Europe _millions— entertai in--— ho . thoughts about tires; ‘though they’ may in- dulge in wishtifffiffking Butter. But the- things that engross their thoughts aré their ‘quivering bodies, 'he- cause of lack of sufficient clothing, and their under-nourished stomachs, which cause craving for the simpler foods, bread and meat. Foodstuffs, though not in sufficient quantities, are being sent to Europe by the United States and other countries, and we in Key West are afforded an opportunity | to supply old clothing to! help relieve the bitter cold the needy in Europe are suffer- ing. We are well clothed, yet many of us ; complain about the cold, or rather chilli- | ness, when northers sweep down over our j city. All of us, at some time or another, have been cold, and_all of us ‘may ‘ecall how 'miserably.; we, felt because: wer were | ‘cold. Multiplythat feeling of -ours- a h “a :dted fold, "AAE°iGe!

Let us make a record in Key West for benevolence by leaving our old clothing at one of the stations the commit- tee specified in The Citizen.” ace Never become so pe rea somite with a ri! ie WOUNDED VET TRAMPLED: The current strike situations’ at 1aShebmernswcane It is nothing less than revo- of property perfectly clear.

Fundamentally, the disagreement was not over the adequacy of wages, measured by past standards. Real wages are at record Labor leaders have frankly stated that they are out for a redistribution of profits. In the case of at least one industry they have demanded a look at the “book to decide for themselves how profits should be shared.

The question is how will it decide to divide the profits of the oil industry?

George Timko, wounded combat veteran, was caught in the rush of those determined to get on the train, knocked to the ground. His leg, weakened by the removal of a piece of bone to mend his shattered left arm, broke and for about three minutes he lay helpless while inconsiderate people passed him by. Let us presume that those close to the veteran were pushed by the impetuous surge of those behind who could not see the former soldier but, just the same, this is a sad commentary on the appreciation that average people, have dor wounded, vets, erans. 2 cit diiw stetqmos |, Th yi ie ujielé Staab 5 on crutches re to, every h eh the n of considerate tréatment.

PARLEY ON FRANCO There has been some diseussion of the French proposal that the United States, Great Britain and France consider the de- sirability and effect of servering diplomatic relations with the Franco Government of‘ Spain.

There is no doubt whatever .that Franco was a stooge for the Axis powers, that he came into power, because of their assistance and that, if a favorable oppor- tunity had presented itself, he would have intervened in their behalf.

Without further com- ment we'll begin doing so right now. WONDERFUL THINGS ABOYT THE BIBLE The Holy Bible is the. . . OLDEST BOOK — The five books written by Moses were composed at least a thousand years before Herodotus, the first historian, wrote his first book, and seven hundred years before Rome was buili. TRUEST BOOK—Other books may err, but the Bible cannot, simply because its Author is the Eternal God, the God who can- not lie. All that He says is the truth. MOST WIDELY CIRCULAT- ); ED BOOK—it is estimated that there are over 200,000,000 Bible in 50 languages. These “Bibles, side by side, would form an area of 700 ayygd yPlaced* end to} end, they would make a life’ 17,000 miles ¢ ; ih MOST HATED’ N8OK—Inti- || dels, scoffers, scien’ and crit- ics oppoa@ and seek to deny or er Bible. It has been Brana My sone; -d, exiled and ite itBxists and is reg abs than ever. BEST LOVED BOOK—Men have laid down their lives for it, purpled the heather on Scot- yi heir blood; died , in Spain’s in- quisitions jin Rome's prisons, ra- ther than give it up. The rack, the gallows and the stake have each failed to make the Lord’s saved ones give up, deny or cease to love the Bible. FDR URGED BIBLE READING The late President Roosevelt wrote this in Bibles given to sol- . diers during World War II: “As commander-in-chief, — I take pleasure in commending the reading of the Bible: to ‘all who serve in the arméd forées‘of the United States. Throughout the centuries inen of many’ faiths and diverse origins have) found in the Sacred Boox' worlis ‘fi wis- ‘dom, counsel and inspiratién. It is'‘a fountain ‘of ‘strength: and now, as always, an aid in attain- ing the high aspirations: of the human soul. 9 ieee it THE BIBLE IS YOU, “We are the only Bible #7 The careless world will.read; We are the sinner's Gospel, We are the scoffer’s creed, We are the Lord’s last message, Given in deed and word.
