Community Auditorium. Ni Me ee : BLAMING THE PARENTS The “laxity of parents” is blamed by J. Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI, as the major factor in the rising tide of post-war crime. : With great respect to the chief of the FBI we point out that the so-called laxity of parents is an elusive factor, which it is impossible to measure, It has been blamed, since time began, fot whatever anybody happened to think was wrong with young people. : Individuals who concern themselves with the morals, manners and methods of the youth of the land have a habit of blam- ing parents for pretty nearly everything. They speak of the failure of parental re- sponsibili as if there is evidence from past generations that the exercise of alleg- ed responsibility by parents developed a higher type of youngsters. We have long maintained, and still insist, despite any temporary crime wave, that the boys and girls of today are better than their elders, at the same stage of life, and that the world has never pos- sessed a growing-up generation of higher average intelligence and character. It will take more than the conclusion of Mr. Hoover, and self-appointed protectors of the race, to persuade us otherwise. The truth of the matter is that there has been a growing dislike of the stern type of parental control, based on the idea -that father and mother can do no wrong and that they know all the answers to questions that must be solved by young “people. This an absurd belief, fully proved by the failure of the all-knowing parents to regulate their own lives per- fectly and to begin a race of recognizable superiority. We have great confidence in the young people of Monroe county. They may make mistakes, and they do. Some of them are serious. Nevertheless, they are exer- cising the inalienable right to. develop character and personality and most of ! themiare doing the job. welhidtds-a:good . sign for, the, future of humanity when { young people begin to think and act for ‘ themselves; in truth it is the hope of the - age, despite the frailties that are some- times exposed. : we is CAN’T WRITE A BOOK It is worth reporting that at least one foreign journalist, making a short visit to this country, doesn’t know how to write a book on the United States “after a visit of -only seven weeks.” Miss Kaisu-Mirkjami Rydberg, a =member of the Finnish Parliament and a political commentator, says that a pub- lisher has asked her to write a volume about this country but that while she ~thinks the county “is wonderful” heaven only knows how she will write the book. This is a positive sign that civiliza- tion is improving. Time was when any > American or other citizen of the globe, = visited another country for a few weeks, ~that he, or she, became an expert, with* full license to write and with enough pres- .tige to convince natives that the author - really knew what was written and that it > was correct. If you left anybody off your Christmas = list there is still time to send The Citizen as a reminder of your thoughtfulness for _ a whole year or at least a portion thereof. GAMBLING Your guess is a good as anybody’ else’s over the number of gambling houses that were operating when Sheriff Sullivan, of Dade county, said, a few days ago, that there was no gambling in Miami. Too many of us wear dark glasses, figuratively speaking, when we don’t want to see anything. In the United States, that practice is far more common among politi- cians than among groups in any other walk of life. Politicians, particularly if they are in office, fail to see, according to their asser- tions, laW violations that are seen by every- body else. As for gambling; it is periodically driven to cover in practically every city in the country, but when the heat of so-called righteous indignation dies down, gambling is resumed, sometimes on a small scale, while the gamblers feel the public official pulse, and, at other times,.it is resumed on as extensive a scale as before it was driven to cover. Thousands of conscientious endeavors have been made to stamp out gambling, but it is inherent in the race; it comes up to us from prehistoric times. The worst thing about gambling is for a man to lose money that should have been used for the support of his family, and the next worse thing is the frequent loss of precious sleep by a gambler. Governor Caldwell, many Floridians believe, has taken the right attitude about gambling. He declared, and rightly, that he wasn’t elected'to police the state, and that if the people of a city, in sufficient numbers, don’t want gambling, they will be able to stop it themselves. Since the governor made that state- ment, The Citizen has been informed, his mail contains few letters now that try to place the blame for gambling on the sheriff in each county. Many of the letters, as Governor Caldwell probably surmised, had as their object the removal of sheriffs from office, and a good many of those letters went up from Key West to him. Let us assume that Caldwell would have removed sheriffs because of the let- ters he received complained about gambl- ing in their counties, does anybody be- lieve that the gambling would have been stopped by the sheriffs’ successors? Gambling, at its best, if there is any- thing “best’’ about it, is a waste of time, and, at its worse, when a man loses who ean not afford to lose, it is an insidious disease. The motto today seems to be: Trust in the Uited Nations Organizations but get yourself some atomic bombs. Advertising in 1946 will pay those who put something into advertising besides a yammering yearning for somebody else’s cash, Franco laughs at proposals to isolate Spain because he doubts that the demo- eratic nations will dare to act positively and courageously. Families are divisible into two classe: (a) those who save in 1946 for 1947 em- ergencies and (b) those who pay in 1946 for 1945 expenses, DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP Once upon a time steamboats did a rushing business on the Mississippi River, the Father of Waters. After the “iron horse” drove the stage coach back into the barn, it found new worlds to conquer. Eventually the railroads paralleled the Mississippi River and cap- tured the freight and passenger business. Even the “show boats” capitulated. Then, the railroads built new lines of tracks bor- dering the Great Lakes, and took over most of the transportation business. When World War I was over the United States Shipping Board was in oper- ation. Then came the so-called Merchant Marine Act of 1940, and the United States Government declared that “it is necessary for the National Defense and development of its foreign and domestic commerce that the United States shall have a Merchant Marine sufficient to carry its domestic water-borne commerce.” That Act was principally on account of pipe-dreams about trade. We built wonderful ships in recent years. The airways challenge ocean trans- portation and the railroads recognize the fact that airplanes are certain to become powerful competitors. American steamships face active com- petition from the airlines. The skies and the ocean have gone to battle in the name of transportation. Chapter 3 FTER all, it was Edith alone who had dinner with Chris- topher. While they were dressing a phone call came from Laura concerning an important .commis- sion and she rushed off, promis- ing to return at the earliest pos- ‘sible moment. And Edith must insist on Chris’ waiting if Laura should be late. She must see him tonight, she said. And so Christupher, striding into the lovely room, found Edith radiant and shining-eyed await- ing him. He was a tail man, but slender, with a gay debonair manner and laughing brown eyes. His thirty- nine years sat lightly for Chris had learned to take tife as it came without tod much worry or re- treat. He had successfully evaded the efforts of those friends who sought to see him married and settled—and went his merry way, smiling and unannoyed. Many women had loved him, some deeply and lastingly, but his af- fections had_ remained: strangely he was thinking, conscious of excitement untouched. Until now, and a queer, thrilling at-home- again feeling on entering Laura Lacey’s apartment. He came forward now to meet Edith, his hand outstretched to clasp hers warmly. “Hello, chick- en!” What a beauty she was be- coming, he theught. “You're look- ing marvelous, Where’s Laura?” “Had to go out at the last te ir ment. She said you must wait f her if it’s niidnight!” Excitement was “in Edith’s ‘voice, shading it with breathlessness. r “Right! we go on a spree—or stay here and chat? “Here!” said Edith, trying with desperate loyalty not to be glad her mother had had to leave her alone with Chris: not to be over- joyed that this moment was hers LEGALS RCUIT COURT OF THE VENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT OF THE $ AND FOR MONROE COUNT CHANCERY. ‘ane No. 10-550 YD ALEXANDER, Plaintiff, DIVORCE ALEXANDER, Defendant.

The child was simply glad ta see him back — really, thought wryly, she must look on him almost as a father! ABNEY called them in to din- ner and Edith thought, sitting opposite Christopher, “He likes being alone with me. He couldn't be so gay and charming if he didn’t. He doesn’t miss mother at all!” A stab of pain at such dis- loyalty pricked her heart. “I’ve got to know how mother feels about him,” she thought. “Oh, I hope she doesn’t love hi: lease God, don’t let her Jove him!” And hugging Her selfish little prayer to her heart, Edith an- swered Chris’ gay chatter in kind, het hands icy;:her cheeks burn- ANE. boo ‘ After.dinner when they were once more before the living room fire, he said, “I’ve brought you a present.” She clapped her hands in de- lighted anticipation. “Oh, Chris— what?” He said it softly as if he really | ; meant it, his glance savoring each busy day.

Don’t you know a beautiful lady who'd like | to wear me on her lily white hand? Come on, don’t be a piket! Take pity on a poor emerald who’s trying to find a home!” Edith was laughing delightedly, remembering many other times luring her childhood when he had come bringing gifts, always accompanied by some suck fan- tastic tale. She turned the ring about on her finger. “I love it. It’s gorgeous. | I’ve never had anything quite so lovely.” Then to the ring, “All right, poor little fellow. Edith loves you. Edith will give you a home.

W. R. _ SAREE RN OCI READER PONDERS MEANING| OF “SPIRITUAL FOOD” This column has inspired a reader to ponder the meaning of “Spiritual Food”, which makes us happy to learn it is accom- plishing its purpose. Just what this reader “turned over” in his or her mind has been set down in the following letter: “‘Spiritual Foéd’. °.. §)'+ “Upon pondering the meaning and significance of the title of this koluran, ore finds much ‘fdod; for thought.’ “God is a triune being—God, the Father; God, the Son, and God, the Holy Spirit. “God created man in His im- age and likeness—a_tri-unity, consisting of Spirit, Soul Body. The Spirit of man is the part of his being which responds! to and links him with God. ‘God is a Spirit; and they .that wor- ship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth.’ (John 4:24.) The Soul emotions and other human qual- ities, and the Body is the house in which the individual lives. “All forms of life must be fed and nourished if they will con, tinue to live. “Let us first consider the pur- pose of food. From the day of birth until the day of death we must have food for our natural bodies in order to maintain a good state of health. The natural hi is healthy according to the quality’ and quantity of whole- some food consumed and aasitni; lated by it. ~ “As the natural man. “ist! be nourished even so must thé ‘Spir- itual man be nourished. Where did you get your natural body? You were born into the human family—a tiny, helpless baby. Just so the individual must be born into God’s spiritual family before he is ready to partake of Spiritual Food. ‘That which born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit’ (John 3:°6.)” The writer then goes on to ex- plain how one is born into God's family and that faith-—heart-be- lief—is absolutely necessary in order to become and remain a child of God. The Scripture quotations used may be included in a future column. The letter continues: “Now, paving been born into God's fathily, Hip! Spirit witness- ‘ing with ours that we afte the H. E.
