America was founged 0 cénsciousness of God, man’s labor a Euits therefrom. ' ‘ All over the world, during the past two decades, political teachings which egrandized an individual, have taken the jace-of Bible teachings. Equality, freedom 2nd _-religious liberty have been lost in na- tfbis ‘which glorified individuals rather than principles. In our own country, strong factions wre-seeking to tie our future progress to all-powerful government.

And don’t let any foreign or domestic »olitician try to tell you he has a system inder which government will do for the ndividual what the individual cannot do or himself if he keeps government his ervant rather than his master. It “winds” may be that the now famous message was mostly hot air. P. O. Information: Soiled post cards but not soiled stamps are redeemable °at the postoffice.

Only one thing seems to have been established and that is that there were inexcusable slips in Washington, D. C., where the informa- tion was received by “somebody” that the Japs would attack Pearl Harbor. Appar- ently big chiefs in Washington didn’t be- lieve there would be an attack — and so they went to sleep on the job, without giv- ing orders to the Navy. CHEAP MONEY How cheap is money now? All finan- cial periodicals have stated within the last year or so that money is borrowable now at interest rates that are comparable with the lowest in the history of the country. In Washington last week, an official of the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- tion, in testifying before a senate commit- tee,said that the government’ tiow~is able to borrow all the monéy: it needs’ at inter- est rates ranging from gne,toe two percent. der the! revenue: bonds the city of Key= West) issued to purchase} the local electric light companyzdt is pro- posed to refund the bonds, with a reduc- tion of present interest rates from three and one-half to four and one-quarter per- cent to one and three-quarters to two and three-quarters, after the first 18 months of their issuance, when the interest will be six percent for that period only. Reginald Pritchard, chairman of the | city’s Utility Board, said it has been esti- { mated that the saving of interest for the | life of the revenue bonds will be between $340,000 and $350,000. ; The only security behind the revenue bonds is the assets of the City Electric | System, while all real estate in Monroe county, with the exception of homesteads, secure the payment of pripcipal and inter- | .est omithei proposed.beach bonds. Mdespite-the fact-that-the in- |. 1) WeEeSt; on the revenit HBreQT BET $1, 1 483,000, will range; fxom, epe@aand. three- Host? oqai@ ve | quarters percent to-two and three-quarters | percent, the interest on the bédch“bonds, with Monroe County behind’ them, is specified at three and one-quarter percent, which is not what may be call@@'a favor- able rate of interest in these days ‘of cheap money. Further, large blocks of Monroe county bonds were refunded 18 months ago at interest rates that were slightly lower than two percent. Most people think well of compli- mentary friends, | coh ‘ y isthe birth:month of two 3 can you-name,them; say re born? t Emonstrate its worth ito att, There are many Americans who do not understand the Russians, but there are just as many Russians who do not under- stand us, and don’t want to, The Russians evidently believe that now is the time to settle all issues on its own basis; they know that no nation in Europe is able to oppose them effectively. piss A layman’s definition of metaphysics: When the person who listens doesn’t know what the person w. S align To WO ROW NS SOIT Oil is a slippery subject. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled in the past that all oil wells along submerged shorelines are under the jurisdiction of the States. But Secretary of*the Interior Ickes took the position a year ago that it was within his power as oil administrator. to grant certain applications to private corporations, for oil leases off the coast of California. He based his conclusions on the theory that the Federal Government owned the lands. There upon former At- torney General Biddle filed a suit against the State of California in support of Fed- eral ownership. Heretofore the States have claimed and held oil tidelands. So there is a fight on between the oil interests. Nations in Europe are fighting for their lives to stop Russia and other Gov- ernments ae, ie them over—in order to¥get thei off. t isn’t very strange in view of the fact that the Government of Mexico took over several hundred million dollars worth of United States and British owned oil wells six or seven years ago. There is a new appraisal of quantities of oil throughout the world. It is a safe bet that tycoons in the American industry who have insisted that there is a supply for a thousand years available to the United States, know what they are talking about. And the forty-six States that are fighting the attempt to take over oil from the States will be upheld by the Supreme Court and Congress.

(AP).—The theory of relativity must have something to do with the four- year take from Newark’s parking meters. By actual count there were 4,- 904,770 nickels. The take in dol- lars and cents was $245,276.98. Public safety director John B. Keenan isn’t very upset about the. profit of $38.48. What bothers him is the odd change involved. It means that some good citizens tried—and succeeded—in putting é pennies in the nickel machine. Political Announcements For State Senator “BOB” KING For Representative JOHN CARBONELL, JR.
