Three precious hours of the day gone! : It is to save some of that precious time that many newspapers in Florida are advocating that the time in the state be put forward.an hour, beginning April 23. If one of the three hours of morning sunshine is used, then an extra hour will be added to the time that employes and business men will have after they have eoncluded their day’s work. ° When work is over in, the afternoon or evening, there will be.an extra hour, as compared with the time of closing today. Possibly some Key Westers will object to advancing local time an hour, because they prefer to spend that much more time in bed, but, with most of us, we are unable to sleep after the sun rises. While The Citizen takes the stand that every man should be accorded the privilege to choose to his own liking, yet we believe that, even nine out of 10 of the residents who enjoy sleeping after the sun comes up, if put to a test, will admit that they would appreciate very much that extra hour in the afternoon or evening that would result from the changing of | local time. There's an hour more for fishing, for golfing, for driving, or, if you don’t like any of those pastimes, for anything that you do like, such as reading by daylight instead of lamplight. } The Citiven trusts that the city com- mission will déem it wise to advance the clocks an hour in Key West, as they were advanced when the United States entered World War II. Too many people go to their imagi- nation for their facts. Cancer killed 2,240 men, women and children in Florida in 1945. At least 700 died needlessly. VICTORY GARDENS TO HELP Declaring that the battle against starvation “is just now reaching its deci- sive stages,” Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson insists that the need for Victory Gardens is greater in this first year of peace than any single year of the war, The Secretary was addressing a con- ference of workers interested in stimulat- ing Victory Gardeners to outdo their war- time record, when, it is reported, *18,500,- 000 Americans produced forty per cent of the fresh vegetables of the country. Officials say that no matter how much is produced this year, there will not be a surplus in view of the immensity of the needs. We pass the information along to our readers because we have a faint suspicion that ‘there may be a scarcity of canned vegetables if the nation makes a reason- able contribution to prevent starvation that now threatens millions of people throughout the world. In this event, the victory gardener, who will presumably can some of his surplus production, will have things on his ‘table, out-of-season, that will not be available to thos upon their purchases at the grocery stores. There are some moving pictures where the heroes are in the audience and not on the screen. Any one who believes that any good thing on this earth can be got without en- ergy, courage, perseverance and prudence | may believe also in the philosopher and the fountain of youth. | MISDIRECTED BOMBERS | On May 31, 1941, a group of German bombers headed for Belfast, but dropped their bombs on Dublin, Ireland. The British now reveal that their radar defense «distorted the ‘‘direction- finding” beam of the enemy bombers. A Royal Air Force officer explains that while this was possible, ‘when we had the measure of their system,” there was no way to be sure that the changing “would ! not take the planes over another town.” This is what happened. The Eire Gov- | ernment protested to Berlin and the Ger- | | mans explained that the mistake had been due to high winds. } a report of a diversionary defense, based | upon the ability to distort the direction | finder of enemy bombers.

Jago continued. “I am in a position to make you a large sum of money.” He paused. “Money to which no taint is attached, and with no risk in- volved.” “That is the kind of mone: that interests me the most,” Rus. said. Jago nodded, “Of course.” “But,” Rush said, “you are not going to just give me the money. There must be something I'm to do to earn it?” “Maybe yes, maybe no. It’s just possible, Mr. Henry, that you can earn that money by doing nothing.” Rush raised his eyebrows in po- lite surprise. “Yes,” Jago continued. “It was in regard to_ that unfortunate death of the Germaine boy. You intimated that you thought you would find that person in the group which surrounds me.” “In the long run, Mr. Henry, you will learn that it was im- possible for Wilmer or me. to have committed the murder. But in the meantime, your investiga- tions will prove both embarrasg- ing and costly to me.” i “You propose in words of one syllable, to pay me blackmail?” (To be continued) COMPLETING PLANS |C.
