We would prefer to see 100 cultured, respectable, hard-working men and women move into our community than 1,000 people of doubtful purpose, morals and intentions. Naturally, the population deter- mines, in a marked degree, the business of.the town, but very often the back- country that trades. within a city or town is as important in the commercial lifedasz -4 wapigh contained stories or artides about TWO SIDES ALWAYS If we were soldiers overseas would be anxious to come home, and it is easy enough to understand how anxious are loved at home in Key West and else- where to have their sons or brothers or | husbands back in civilian life, yet, as Gen- eral Eisenhower, chief of staff, pointed out in Washington Tuesday, there are two sides to the question. One of those sides, with which the public generally ‘is not familiar, is that, as General Eisenhower declared, 1,200,- 000 servicemen, who “had no right to be home”, have returned to the United | States since the Germans were knocked out of the war. He said further that between now and July 1, between 700,000 and 1,200,- 000 other servicemen will be back in this country. General Eisenhower maintained, and rightly, that, even though the war is over, the United States still has. much import- | ant work to do in Japan and Europe if we are to conserve the peace for which 250,000 Americans gave their lives. Japan and Germany must be placed in a position where they will no longer be able to wage war, for many years to come at least, and, by the issuing of direc- tives by. the Allies and enforcing them, as ‘they “ave being enfore particularly,,.in ed among the oldsterg; aoe d among youths and eta wo? All textbhodied inj tite schayicie adgan, + imititarism, have been banned and the pursuits of peace have been stressed. The United States needs soldiers in Japan to attend to those matters, and all the talk about endless red tape that must be unraveled before servicemen could be- gin their homeward trips had little basis in fact, according to General Eisenhower, who. pointed out that 1,200,000 former service men already were home who, un- der the regulations, “had no right to be home.” Hard work may not kill people but ation age: * ib yr ki If bed n ; cessfulgglip + lébwns ft. diplomats } macy it m s as fully it supports its generals. HATS «MEAN, A GREAT DEAL © The. war-did-something to-men’s. hais. There was a:day when.@ man a i ished an old hat, for year-lipon-entlle - year—to the confused indighatign of his wife and the Yoleraitt amusement of his friends. He might have several compara- tively new hats onthe shelf, But one, that grew steadily seedier and more disreput- able, was dear to his heart; he wore it on every conceivable occasion. _ However. many hats he had, he was still a one hat man. He looked it, too. Then he went to war. And he found that the he-est men this nation has ever produced were two, three, and four hat men. He has come back from a world of hats wtih meaning—a world of garrison #its, barracks caps, fatigue hats, fighting those who live within the municipal. limits. The character of these citizens is an im- portant factor in- the desirability of the place. { - 3 Key West and Monyoe conceal been blessed, we should say, with people of fine characterists, These traits should be appreciated and our young people should emulate them. They should not be led astray by the typically American in- sistence upon size. Never worry toe much about what others do, or fail to do; after all, it is not your responsibility. Never make up your mind after hear- ing only one side of an issue that requires a decision on your part. Financial Advice: Postpone buying as long as you can; save all the cash money you can by buying bonds. The world’s greatest and best men were failures. in.some.lines-Pailures. many times before failure ‘was ‘crowned with success. It’ follows if these men finally suceeded, their so-called failures were really stepping stones to success. Often words take on a different mean- ing after the lapse of time. Onee buildings were edified, now we edify character; the word “officious’” once had reference to offices of kindness and not to -busy med- dling. There an, pdreds of instances like those -~ “& lug VA mats. And the result is that now he feels, positively undwessed unlessi h@y has the right outfit for the ocgasign. Once he would go into a hat stoge and ask for a hat that willed with a ‘thing.” Now he khoWs that one hat, fe- gardless of color; just won’t “go with everything.” His new knowledge has made him a little critical of personal ap- pearance, too, perhaps. The man who has come back with an understanding of the dignity of the hat has found that the girl he left behind him is wearing overalls and a shirt with the tail hanging: out. For the moment he is bewildered by this, but he’Il change her over, because he is a different fellow from the one hat man she knew. He has accomplished the transition painlessly. There is no nostalgia, no yearn- ing for the old days of the disreputable head piece. He; found out in the service what a good shoé@ shine and the right het will do for a man’s morale. He has algo found out that he is, in a large measu judged by his. appearance, and that jn this his hat-is-important..Im-a very c siderablé sense, the hat’ has again become what it was Many years ago—a symbol of accomplishment. Oliver Wendell Holmes, in The Auto- erat of the Breakfast Table, wrote: “The hat is the ultimum moriens of respectabil- ity’—which is high brow for something like: The last symbol of respectability that @ man gives up is his. hat.
