Furthermore, in ‘the years that lie imme- diately ahead of us, if this country is to re- freer prosperous peacetime conditions ith full employment, retailers must sell rtrore goods than they have ever sold be- fore:-. . It is going to be difficult, if not impossible, to increase retail sales if at the same time we cut down the number of hours of store operation. “A" retail store is not like a factory that can be operated or closed down at will. If it is to serve its proper purpose, it must be open to the public at the time that the ie wants to shop. There are millions Stomers who are at work in factories; offiees and-on- farms, who-cant-shop_dur- ing the middle of the day. Factory hours are shopping hour There is real danger to our egonomy ingany effort sto match store hours @f operation to the hours of operation of the industries.” Among the great advantages of the American distribution system, from the standpoint of consume e the numerous types of competing retail establishments. For example, the chain stores, while only doing a little over twenty per cent of the total retail business, have since their in- ception had a salutary influence on con- sumer service. Unquestionably, hours of | store operation in the distribution industry | are tailored more closely to consumer | needs because of the chains. not The Bonds of Matrimeny have great value until] the interest stops. Many letters are said to be mailed to the wrong addresses, but people seem to get their bills promptly. A miser is a person who has heaps of money and no taste for all it can buy; but | he, paradoxically, is not selfish otherwise he would blow it in on himself, instead of eventually leaving it for others to enjoy. As the word implies a miser is miserable without the aptitude to acquire happiness with abundance of the means at hand. eighteen’ dayg before, - h EARED HOT WATER Far more important than any political party, for more important than money, is adherence to the truth. For that reason our blood warmed when we read that Harold Ickes, secretary of the interior, had re- fused to tell a lie to save any party’s or anybody’s face. Ickes, during the 13 years he had been secretary,’ was a_ straight-forward and plain-spoken man. He had néver held. back his:funehes when he knew he. was in the right, and his irony and sarcasm af times were admirable. Key Westers may. recall Ickes’ tell- ing somebody—we cannotreeall who he was.. ., “You've got ants in your pants.” Besides, at all the hearings in which he had testified before congressional com- mittees he was never at a loss for words. But it is not as a ready speaker that The Citizen is now considering him; it is as a man determined to tell the truth, re- gardless of whom it involves. Loose talk to gain one’s ends, despite what they may be, betrays a mind that cares little about the truth. During the last { few months the people of Key West have been regaled, if we may apologetically | use that term, with a plethora of loose talk, which, as we have remarked often, leads only to disputes and, the, creation, of, enemies, w ch retards.the.-progress of br big. stunk’ and counter-ch have ie ie van fad Cpt na not ished?a single constructive thing. The only conclusion to be reached is that some men would not find life worthwhile {if they cleared their minds of contention. They seem to prefer being forever in hot | water. The tendency to pass laws to get votes, without regard to subsequent en- forcement, may eventually disgust people with so-called democracy. Simplicity is the elimination of the non-essential in all things; it particularly applies to the art: of* writing: Tt-also saves At the War crimes neteteitereers “et Lileetewanit!

Former Secretary of State Cordell Hull has vigorously denied that his note was anything like an ultimatum and, in fact, it merely restated some funda- mental principles, upheld by the United States, and previously announced. It is not easy to figure out how isola- tionists and pacifists in this country can continue to make the assertion that former President Roosevelt and his Secrétary of State manouvered. the. Japanese into @ SSaietian ‘as_the pat caned ea Manila. While it should not be necesary to call attention to these facts.jn order to con- vince .Americéns that Athis nation was treacherously attacked, it is necessary at times to call attention to the truth to avoid the acceptance of error, vociferously and insistently repeated. It is astonishing how interesting a dull piece of work may become if one seis one’s self to doing it well. It does not hurt to believe in luck as long as you do not rely on it; and it doesn’t matter if you read your daily horoscope | if you do not permit it to influence you., TO BOMB ANTARCTICA Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, noted thevorfiakes the interesting suggestion that atomic bombs be used in the vast unchart- ed areas of Antarctica, to increase know- ledge about rich mineral deposits that are supposed to be in that region.
