LL KEY WEST LOSES A FRIEND 1 2 a 4 S During all the years that Key West has atrug@led to secure the extension of the Intracoastal Waterway to this city, we have bad an able counsellor and coopera- | tor in Commodore A. H. Brook, of Fort Lauderdale. ee From the beginning of the activities that resulted in the opening of the Inside Route from Jacksonville to Miami, he was ; Chatyman of the Board of Trustees for that project. He was actively interested in securing the extension of that indispensable chan- nel all the way to Key West and when it ie eventually secured, it will be to him that Key West will owe much for his un- | remiting efforts to open our harbor to the hundreds of yachts that will then visit us end the laden barge that will bring heavy freight to our doors. THE SERVICE OFFICER The unsung hero of war and peace is the post service office of The American Legion without fanfare and publicity he is deine one of the greatest humanitarian jobs in the country today. The post service office is mostly a volunteer. There are 25,000 of his kind in The American Legion. He is the chap whe works only for the good he can do. His reward lies in the happiness he can bring into the lives of war-shattered vet- erans and in the smiles he can develop in the sad faces of war widows and orphans. He is the true friend of all those upon whom the burden of war has fallen heav- jest. He is the chap who helps the disabled veteran get a hospital bed and medical treatment and compensation for his medi- cal handicaps. He is the one who aids him in getting vocational training, or sehool- ne under the G. I. Bill of Rights. He is the fellow who dries the widow’s tears, sees to it she gets her pension, and death benefita, He is the one who looks after scholarships for the orphans, in addition to their physical wants. Hie is the father confessor of all dis- treswed veterans and their dependents. They come to him because they know they will find understanding, sympathy and the know-how of effective assistance. It is through the post service officer that The American Legion is able at all times to measure the effectiveness of Government service to veterans, because it is upon his shoulders that despairing veterans come to weep. He in turn makes his reports to the national organization on conditions in the field. The post service officer has a living te earn too. But all*his spare time goes into his service to his comrades. He is the pillar of The American Legion's vast re- habilitation program. ingers on, for it is the beautiful symphony of that unselfish devotion to mutual help- fulness which has made The American Legion great. tin centers, When is a law not a law? When it is not enforced! ——$_$_. There is nothing wrong with the idea that extra work should carry extra pay. He may be little | known beyond his community. But when | bis song of service is done, the melody | THE BURNT THREAD Somebody remarked, back in the days of Dr. Johnson, that, were he able to fore- see the future, he would be a man of great wealth in a short time. “No,” Dr. Johnson replied cerypti- cally; “you would be crazy in a short time.” ‘ He did not explain why, were one able to foresee the future, he would be- come crazy, but it was easy enough to de- termine that Dr. Johnson meant one would foresee the time when he would die. That thought was brought tv mind by the death of Attorney Roger Watkins by drowning on Sunday evening. But, had he been able to foresee his death by drowning, he would not have gone out in the boat. All of which is true, had the fore- sight been all-inclusive, but had he fore- seen that he would die April 14, 1946, he might have gone out in the boat to try to | alleviate his grief. All of which, of course, is in the realm of conjecture, but, however we may view the matter, no life is free of untoward happenings, and, were we able to foresee them, they would work us up into a state of nervousness that would be unbearable. So, our inability to peer into the future is really a blessing to us. Life is fraught with enough sorrow, as it is, and it is well for all of us that we do not know what sorrows are in store for us. Key West regrets Roger Watkins’. death. His passing away is another proof | of that age-old saying, “Life is but a burnt thread.” One out of every eight Americans dies of cancer. A free press may ve a nuisance in some cases, but it is much better than a controlled press. Ten years ago The Citizen para- raphed: “Good evening! Are you a reg- istered voter?” And now, ten years later, The Citizen is again asking the same ques- tion, “Are you a registered voter?” If not | see Supervisor England at your earliest convenience. He is ready to authorize you | to vote. | INFLATION IN CHINA Speaking about inflation, there may be some interest in a dispatch from Chungking, China, reporting that notes issued by the government now total $1,- 031,900,000,000. This represents notes issued up to March of last year and there is no accurate information as to the num- ber of notes issued since that time. The press dispatch says that the gov- ernment is now g ting ready to put out $5,000 notes which would replace the present largest denomination, $2,000. In addition to the notes of the Central Gov- ernment, there are millions of almost worthless puppet notes still in circulation, many millions in notes issued in the Com- munist area and an uncertain quantity of military occupation notes used by the Soviet in Manchuria. The value of the vast horde of Chung- king Government notes is. estimated at $5,500,000 in United States currency at the current rate of exchange. Figured at the rate most favorable to China, in years past, the notes would have an American valuation of more than one billion dollars. “T can not” on the tongue, often means “I will not” in the heart. If there is a better game for young Americans than baseball we have never | heard of it. Winston Churchill, before the war broke out in Europe, warned his fellow- countrymen of the danger of German rearmament. He was denounced but he was right. Now, he warns of possible , trouble between Russia* and the English- speaking nations but does not go so far’ as to believe war is wanted by the nations or | that it is inevitable. AIR FORCE ABOLISHES K. P. The Army Air Force has decided that | technicians do not have time to peel pota- toes and that permanent mess attendants will operate the mess better than soldiers detained to K. P. duty. The Air Force is to be commended for its decision. Every Army contingent con- | tains a number of “soldiers” who want as little combat as possible and it might be a good idea to lump them together in a permanent organization designed to take i care of the food problem. v# | Chapter 21 yal ‘HE assistant district attorney’S office was that of an ambitious man. Not a paper sullied the highly polished desk top. A pair of pens stood waiting to leap into the executive hand. The thick carpet was immaculate. The as- sistant D.A. himself sat with his back. to the desk gazing out of the wide windows. He was the i of concentration. Seconds Briss | | then the man turned ‘iskly, mage a quick note on ~ desk. eale: and looked up, tap- ping his pencil point op the desk top with a businesslike rhythm. “Ah, Carnahan, and Henry sit down, gentlemen.” He pushed a button. “I’m sure you won’t mind hav! notes made of our con- versation, Henry.” Rush waved a nonchalant hand. “Not at all, Bryant. Write a book. As a matter of fact, I'd like to have a transcript of our conver- sation if you don’t mind. For my files, you know.” Bryant looked at him suspi- ciously. Rush smiled argh & Bryant decided Rush was not kid- ding. “Of course, Henry, glad to send you one.” A door opened and a girl walked_in with a_ businesslike stride. Everything was business- like in this office Rush decided. “Okay, Bryant. We're all here, now let’s get on with it. What’s on your mind?” “I am at a loss to understand you, Henry.” Rush looked hurt. “I’m certain- ly sorry about that, Mr. Bryant,” he said. “What have I done?” Bryant, smiled. a businesslike smile, “I’m afraid, Henry, that your sins are those of omission rather than commission. It’s what you haven’t done that concerns me.’ “Is that so? What have I for- gotten to do now?” “I think you are quite aware of what you haven't done, Henry. In the matter of the murder of Paul Germaine, Jr.” he opened a drawer and extracted a sheaf of papers, “my information is that you are withholding severe’ vital! facts that are necessary police investigation of the crime.’ Rush nodded. “That’s bad, isn’t it?” he said. “I told you in the beginning that you were withholding formation necessary to the solu- tion of the crime.” “Is that interfering? The police can find out everything I have. ‘T’m not holding them back.” ‘Mr. said. “Hello, Mr. Germaine. This in-} tr Bryant sputtered. “I can hold}, ‘ou as a material witness, Henr,. erhaps a few days in a cell will teach you respect for law and order. Do you think yea are bet- ter equipped than the Chicago police to solve this crime? Do you think for one moment—” “Yes,” said Rush. “Yes, what?” stuttered Bryant: “You asked me if I thought I was better equipped to solve this ease than the Chicago police. I said yes.” Carnahan colored elghtts. “Sorry, Sam. That’s no reflection on you. The difference is that in this case I can do things that the police can’t do. My hands aren’t tied by ‘egal procedure. I can blast ahead on my own and blow things open. The police can’t do that. This is not routine, 3ry- ant. There are cross-purposes in- volved that it would take the po- lice six months to run down. I can get them in a tenth of the time.” “Surely, Henry, you must see the wisdom in cooperating with the police?” “t am cooperating with them,” Rush said. “I’m cooperating so damn hard that in a few days Tl hand them the murderer all tied up in a neat little package. It'll be so neat that even you can get a conviction. Then you ean run for governor.” ““HAT’S enough, Henry.” Bry- ant’s voice was sharp, im- perative. “I’ve stood your imper- tinence as long as intend to.” He reached for a phone on his desk. “I’m swearing out a war- rant. I intend to hold you as a material witness.” Rush smiled a slow smile. “You'd better let me use the phone before you do,” he said. Bryant looked at him for a mo- ment, then shoved the phone across the desk with a vicious push, Germaine, please,” he is Henry. I’m running intc a little ouble. A. man named wants to put me in jail... Yes, he accuses me of withhold ing valuable information. . . . Yes, I am. I'm withholding it all right, but he’ll throw a wrench as big as a house into the ma- if T give it to him. ... le wants to talk to you, Bryant.” Rush pushed the phone back across the desk. Bry- vant took it gingerly as if expect- ing it to grow teeth. “Hello, Mr. Germaine,” he said in a voice that was silky yet managed te carry an_undertone of businesslikeness, He_listened a moment. “But, Mr. Germaine we can’t... Yes, of course... Yes, Mr.Germaine.” He iistened for a long moment, a sickly smile on his face. “Yes, of course, Mr. Germaine. You can count on me. Good-bye.” The good-bye was an idle gesture. Everyone in the room heard the bang of Ger- maine’s phone on its cradle. Bry- ant turned to Rush. He swallowed deep in his throat. He was, thought, the perfect picture of a man eating crow. He felt sudden- ly sorry for the deflated figure before him. “I seem to have missed several points, Henry,” said Bryant in a mere approximation of his usual- ly vibrant voice. “Mr. Germai suggested several -hings that had not occurred to m He swal- lowed again. “I think you can count on complete cooperatio: from this office from here on o1 Rush’s thank-you was genuine. He had no desire to twist the knife he had plunged into this balloon. “Is there anything we can do for you now?” asked Bryant. “Not that I can think of,” said Rush and turned to leave. In the hall outside Carnahan sto] Rush. “This is where I leave you,” he said and smiled. “That was very nice. Bryant will have indigestion for a week over this afternoon. He hasn't eaten a luncheon like that in years.” (To be continued) Spiritual | Food By J. W. R. | THE EASTER STORY For the past two weeks, “Spir- itual Food” has reprinted from the Gospel of Saint Matthew the events that led to the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ, begin- ning with the twenty-sixth chap- ter. | It is at this point in Matthew's | account of the life of the King of | Kings that Jesus reminded His} | disciples that the feast of the passover would be held within two jdays when the “Son of man is betrayed to be crucified”. ! From there this column related the all-important events that [transpired at the house of Simon| the leper, the Last Supper, at Gethsemane where Jesus prayed in agony to His Father, where Judas betrayed Him with a kiss and where the multitude seized Him, the mocked trial before the chief priests and elders, the de- nials by Peter, the condemnation before Pilate and the crucifixion | at “a place called Golgotha”. These “The Way to the Cross”, which closed with the happenings that immediately followed the yielding up of the ghost by Jesus. The rest of Matthew’s account of Jesus’ death and resurrection will be reprinted in this column this Easter week. Just before “The Way to the Cross’ 'ended we found that Jesus had made the supreme His body hung on the cros: earth erupted, graves of nts, which slept” opened and_ their! bodies arose. Many then realized} that “truly this was the Son of! God”. A number of women, some of whom had followed and min- istered to Jesus, watched their! erucified Saviour from afar off. | To continue: | Jesus Buried When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, name dJoseph, who also himself! was Jesus’ disciple: he went to] Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. | And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own} we remember that that deceiver , said, while he was yet alive, After | three adys I will rise again.
