Not much longer, according to a state- ment made to The Citizen by one of Key West's most active politcians. . He remarked that it will not be long new before “things will be humming”, and likely what he said was true, for the apathy since the beginning of the year cannot con: tinue much longer unless it is ‘to run into election day) = *e #1 : /There. is not,,even passing interest in’ Key West inthe races for the United States. Senate and the house of représeiitatives, and minor iftérest only in the contest for state senator. Two races in Key West that probably will become “sizzlers” are for state repre- sentative and for county commissioner from the fourth district. In the latter contest, propaganda, directed against one of the aspirants, is making the rounds of the town. The man who is the butt of it informed The Citizen that charges made against him are with- out foundation, He undoubtedly will learn before many more days pass that he will not be the only candidate about whom lies will be spread; for the seasoned political sone vag a,rule, feels that it is of little sbqfiotibe {whether a charge is. true “ot false so long as it décbmplishes its purpose. That is the way of divty:ipolitivs; here; there and everywhere, It ag Gye reinindful good a man may be, he ean. not go through a politieal campaign without being smear- ed with mud. But Key Westers are not easily fooled; indeed, as a rule, they are something of adepts in separating the political chaff from the wheat.

Benjamin Franklin sagely observed of the founding fathers of this country that “when you assemble a number of men who have the advantage of their joint wisdom you inevitably assemble with these men all their prejudices, their passions and their errors of opinion, their local interests and their selfish views.” This has been abund- antly clear’ in the first meetings of the United Nations Organization. Too many Americans have shaken their heads and said, “Why did we ever hope it conld work anyway?" As the UNO comes to the United States, and gigs- leaders _¢ igue to Mel hus’ accept them; and take their faults for granted—as we doin‘ our friends. Selfish’ men in Philadelphia laid the foundations of a new nation. Today’s selfish men, in seh as ours, to the ques-/this hour of urgent need, can lay the foundations of a new world. What is the price of a pineapple in Cuba? In London they are selling for $20 apiece. How about chartering a boat large enough to hold a million of this delicious fruit, and pocketing $20,000,000? That’s one way of getting rich quick. Well, what ; are we waiting for! HOW ELSE CAN IT BE DONE? It won’t be long now before the public will hear protests about the use of two hundred pigs, two hundred goats and three thousand white rates, in. connection. with the test of the atomic bomb. near. Bikini Atoll. It seems that the hardhearted men in charge of the test wish to secure some in- formation as to the effect of the explosion upon human beings. It is important that this information be secured and, according to our opinion, much better to use animals than to use human beings. Certainly, without some living thing on board the targets, there is no way to ascertain the effect of the atomic explosion on human beings.

Until recently, a person known as anrgl- coholic was generally treated as a social outcast. Little if anything was done éo understand him or help him. But, during the past few years, medical research and study has developed that alcoholics are really sick people... that there is usually a. deep- rooted physical, social or emotional reason behind their behavior. That’s why today so much is being done to hiélp them by finding out and correcting the ¢0ndition that leads them to excess,” “ GEORGE: “How many folks are there like that, Judge?” OLD JUDGE: “Well, according to scientific research, 95% ‘of the who drink, drink sensibly. 5% do so iy, @t tines.
