Pn NEEDS GOVERNMENTAL ASSISTANCE While everybody has been entranced with_the progressive development of Avi- ation, it is well to heed the warning of E. A, Gutrell, of the American Airlines, that “those who believe that we are about to plunge intog fi , evhere airliners will land automati eal radio, radar or elec- tronics, are wishfully thinking.” Enginers, responsible for the develop- ment of aviation and automobiles, call at- lack of airports and equip- ment neded for all-weather flying. They emphasize the need for better runways and approach lights and assert that, des- pite 5004mile-an-hour plahes, the chief competition of aircraft with land transpor- tation will be within the trip-radius of 200 miles. We that the tention to the call attention to the evident fact development of aircraft service depends, in a large measure, upon the con- tribution that the Federal and State gov- ernments are willing to make in providing service facilitie ust as the building of good roads created a tremendous demand for automobiles, the construction of ade- quate airports will make possible the ex- pansion ofaviation. The record in both industries shows private initiative can accomplish a good deal, but that it takes governmental asistance to make possible spectacular achievements. faat LEARNING NEW THINGS One factor which tends to produce suecess in life is a willingness and ability to try out new things. It was a large factor in our victory in World War II. For most of our servicemen, the duties and experi- ences of war were a wholly néw thing. Plenty of awkwardness and. blunders could be expected. But the men took up these activities without reluctance. They did their best to learn. ie Aha new ideas fast. That gave them’ advantage over enemies who had not been trained to do original thinking. In civilian life many persons are fearful of untried ways df! working. They y say they have never done things that nd they can't do them. But the world ues those who are quick and eager to take advantage of modern progress. The American people have a record of venturing into the untried and un- known with confidence that they can solve its problems. As you make your graft, lie for it. so must you The age at which one is willing to hare everything is generally the age when one has nothing. The future growth of Key West de- pends upon the cooperative spirit of people here, not upon imported capital or sudden oportunities. See When you contribute to the Red Cross you enable your agent to do, for you, some of the things you would like to do for the men in the armed service of the nation. ee We manage to create special agencies to promote the production of munitions for our service men to use in war; why not an agency to provide homes for them to live in, now that they are homeless, TAXPAYERS’ MONEY Woodrow Wilson, among other great men, have spoken about the taxpayers’ money as a public trust, and, basing one’s conclusion on that truth, one would think that the last place anybody should go for a handout is to the federal, state, county, | or city government to ask for a so-called | donation. Naturally, the question arises, why should public officials in Washington and all subdivisions of government give away money that has been-'paid in taxes? Use of such money should be confin- ed to defraying the expenses of govern- ment, and, goodness knows, there is a multiplicity of expenses to defray. The Citizen recently referred to the apparent spirit of braggadocia in Talla- hassee over the state’s balance of $100,- 000,000, which probably represented 1,- 000,000,0000 drops of taxpayers’ sweat. Taxpayers in Key West, as well as in more heavily taxed than ever before in the history of the city, and every cent of the hundreds of thousands of dollars they pay, in one way or the other, to the city, | the county, the state, the federal govern- | ment, should be devoted to paying the ex- penses in conducting governmental Affairs. Because the money is collected in larger quantities now than ever before in the history of Key West and Monroe coun- ty, is no reason why it should be wasted. Fact is, it should be spent circumspectly in the hope that when next year rolls around thesheavily burdened taxpayer may be giv- en some relief from the demands now made on his purse. Public officials should keep that thought in mind when they are asked to give money to this or that fund or to help to finance this or that movement. The Citizen at all times strives to be fair and first. Hard coughing is said to be bad for the throat, but a little more hard cough- ing up for the good causes of Key West would be a great help. Since we are so near the Gulf Stream, we should not forget that the polar ice, the sun’s heat, the trade winds and the rota- tion of the earth all play a part in the mak- ing of the Gulf Stream. Tf you think you are so terribly smart, listen to the Quiz Kids, none over 16 years of age, and realize just how dumb we are, and that children, from five to 16, can know so much and put us to shame. There may be shortages in most everything, but there is no shortage in liquor and cigarets, for the state collected $3,000,000 for taxes in January. It is al- most unbelievable to think that so much could be guzzled and so much puffing done in so little time. The energy in a tropical storm is enor- mous, and it is estimated that in a 24-hour period of 100-mile wind velocity it ex- pends enough power to work all the mach- inery in the world for several years, yet comparatively little damage is done. A hurricane is more terrifying than dan- gerous. Yo 16 oe ete ules ‘HOMECOMING VETERANS Eager hearts of returning servicemen are sailing across the great oceans. They look at the endless rolling billows, and think with. joy that each day’s run brings them nearer home. As their vessels ap- proach our shores, they strain their eyes, hoping for the first glimpse of the dim coastline through the misty air. It is with a thrill of happiness that they land on the dock of some American city, and tread again the fortunate soil of America. There is a rush for the telephone to talk with the home folks. The familiar voices make a very sweet sound. The happiness felt by these men and their loved ones when they meet goes be- yond description. It is like a gorgeous feast for the home folks to see the beloved face again. One can only hope that life in our country will measure up to the expecta- tions of the returning men, and that they will not be disappointed when they return "a the experiences and struggles of civilian ife. Even if the home burg is a simple sort !of place, it will seem a good deal like heaven. to one who. has been through the desolations of Europe and the coarse life God for America.

They had not talked together again, but Edith had been troubled and uneasy be- cause of some of the things Whit had said that night. That in spite oz Laura’s training, she was really lik. him, that underneath she hel ; from.such a thought, yet she could: not deny that her ability to. lash. out at her father was something that. worked with tgo great a facility. to have been recently acquired. The knowledge of her love for Burk Angus did not bring much satisfaction, either, since it seemed: almost certain never to come to fruition. She had not seen him again, even in church. She had a long letter from Chris, the first he had written since his marriage to Laura. It was full of news and nonsense and lifted from her heart any doubt of. her feeling about him, Chris was dear, but he was some- one she had kaown in another werld—a world which had not known Burk Angus—and she could look on him now with no fear of difficulty. in their relation- ship. She came tc see, too, that the part of Laura that belonged to o» anyone else, She could go back now at any time knowing that she and her mother could be as inti- mate, as understanding, as_closé as they had been before Chris had come between them. Sometimes the longing to see Laura, to tell her all the troubles that worried her, to hear her calm, poised voice giving invaluable counsel was al- r.ost more than she could. bear. But she stayed on—knowing that she was a real help and comfort to Barbara — that the others wanted her to stay—and hoping against hope that’ somehow she might win Burk Angus’ love and respect. On one of the infrequent eve- nings when Whit elected to stay could be as unkind and cruel as: Her whole being recoiled her could never belong to Chris Jat home, they all gathered on the ‘big front veranda as twilight ba an. to fall, Barbara, contented happy with it at home, stretched out comfortably on a wicker lounge.

Can’t he take. care of a horse’s, stomach- ache?” “E dunno, ma He jes’ say tell Mist? Whit to come right now!” Whit glanced at Edith, “Want to.come along?” he asked, “I don’t suppose I’ be long, and maybe we—we'll have a chance to talk!” “What can-he want to talk about?” Edith wondered, rising, without question and following him to. the stables. She knew that Clay Elliott had taken the horses that were. in training to Chicago for the summer racing, and that Lawson, a young man left in charge at home, was some- times over-zealous in his care of the ones in his keeping. She had heard Whit say that he might as well take care of the horses him- self, since Lawson was continually at him to come to the stables on first one excuse and then another. Now, however, they could see that the ‘young ‘nan was reall; worried: “It’s Gallant Lady, sir,” he said and Whit.came to imme- diate attention, “She’s been act- ing peculiarly all afternoon. I thought you’d want to look at her. Dr. Johnson’s with her now- I took the liberty of calling him—” “You did exactly right!” Whit said, forgetting his charge against Lawson of being over-cautious. He was particularly fond of the little mare, Gallant Lady. “Wait here in the office, Edith. I'l see what’s doing.” Spiritual Food By J. W. R. W.J.R. WRITES IN DETAIL ABOUT SPIRITUAL FOODS A very neatly-written, detailed article on Spiritual Foods was re- ceived last week from W. J. R., a contributing reader of this col- umn. The article so compre- hensive and explanatory the most casual reader of the Bible will be able, through digesting this sim- ple presentation of Scriptural facts, fully unde id just what are “Spiritual Foo There are many references in the Bible about spiritual nourish- ment. It would be impossible to include all these passages in a single issue of this column. There- | fore, W. J. R.’s present and future | articles on Spiritual Foods will be| divided into as many parts as it may become necessary to do so in order to publish the whole. Our reader’s submitted article begins with milk, the food for babes, natural or spiritual. The next is bread, which requires a more lengthy cription as there are numerous passages concern- ing this particular food in both the Old and New Testaments. W. J. R.’s future subject will, no doubt contain the| more substantial foods mentioned ! tor those “strong in the Word.” Now here’s the first part of our reader’s article dealing with Milk and Bread: Milk “In Job 23:12, we read, ‘I have} esteemed the words of His mouth} more than my nec ‘y food.’"In} other words, Job is telling us’ that Spiritual Food is more necessary than bodily food. to I Peter 2:2 we learn that God’s! Word, the Bible, supplies milk for | our spiritual growth. “As in the natural realm, me newborn babe finds its first nour- | ishment in milk, fectly balanced food, and receiv-! ing this milk from its mother,| through whom it was born into: the world, so the newborn babe | nourish- ment for its spiritual life by par- Word’, the perfectly balanced} food, and is thus fed by the same} into God’s family, ‘Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but ot incorruptible, BY THE WORD{ OF. GOD, which liveth and abid-; eth for ever.’ (I Peter 1:23.) “The consequence of eating! good wholesome food is growth and development of the body. On the other hand, is there anything mother’s heart than to perceive that her darling is growing nei- ther physically or mentally? Can we not learn a lesson from this? Does it not grieve our Heavenly Father’s heart when His ‘babes in Christ’ do not show spiritual development, but seem to be re- tarded and in danger of not ‘growing in the grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Sa- viour, Jesus Christ’? (II Peter 218.)” Scripture Quotation: “The wind howeth where it listeth, and thou By referring | i the most per-; taking of the ‘sincere milk of the | \Parents Shun School source through which it was born} that brings more sorrow to the; LYNCHINGS ‘BOWING OUT NE lynchifig reported by Tuskeeg: e Insti- tute last year contrasts with the grim re¢ord of | | | ticle on this! | | | i Near Atom Bomb Site. } (By Associated Press) | SANTA FE, N.

When Edith could bear the un- certainty no longer, she started to find Whit. She met him just out- side the door. He looked tired and_unhappy. “Gallant Lady—?” she began. “She just—couldn’t make it!” Whit id grimly, his mouth a tight line. Edith knew that Gal- lant Lady had been a great favor- ite with him. “Oh, I’m so terribly sorry!” After a moment, he said, “We saved the colt, though, Want to see the little fellow?” In the stall a checkered blanket had been thrown carefully over the mare and in a corner a spindly-legged colt wavered un- certainly. “He may not look like much now,” Whit said, keeping his eyes carefully away from the blanket, “but he’ll be a cham hhe’s got!’*: ‘He's.ca, darling!” Edith | an- swered her ey fe suddenly mist- ing, e ri ‘abbe the little wet nose Sith a aifident finger.
