Nowadays, with bank individual will put his mon- ey into some well-run bank, or, if. he prefers, in the Postal Savings Department. We eall attention to this matter because a farmer, in a neighboring state, recent- ly lost a large sum of mon- ey which he had saved up -to-pay for his farm. The money was kept in a bag at “his home. He took the bag, money and all, and started to town, but somewhere along the route, he lost the cash, Of course, every person has-the tight to keep his, or “Her, money wherever he *or- she pleases. However, the. “place is in an in- > designed. for, the Apuxpase of aceepting mener cMepastts: ~“BUYERS’ STRIKE” TO FAIL Tt, begins to appear that “there, will be no satisfactory “Slegislation to revive the Of- S fice of Price Administra- tion. and buyers throughout * the’ nation are beginning to ~iseover that prices are go- “fiig.up fast and threatening <te-go up faster. ~eeAs a result there is con- “siderable talk of a “buyers’ strike,” with indications that some efforts will be made to provide consumers with of- ficial price data on impor- tant commodities and serv- ices: ‘By, ‘comparison with standards’ issued by the Government, the people can hold back their purchases and, to some degree, regu- late prices. It. would be a mistake, however, for anybody to be- lieve. that any so-called “buyers’ strike”. can replace a law designed to protect the -public against unfair prices in connection with scaree products. If Congress fails. to provide adequate legislation for price control, the chances are that prices will move up precipitately. This is the present outlook. Key West’s banyan trees are bigger and better than the tree that grows in Brooklyn. Bury your past troubles, forget those of the present, and don’t entertain those you expect to have. There are more quarrels avoided by just shutting our “mouths, ‘and keeping them shut,.than by all the wisdom in the world, Knowing that you don’t kmow is knowing more than most people know. Socrates, a wise man, claimed that he didn’t even: know that he didn’t know. Think that Over, know-it-alls! | ‘SICK TO THE STOMACH’ General Eisenhower on Tuesday issued an order de- signed ‘to. stop the waste of foodstuffs in army kitchens and messhalls. During the war we.did not hear any. stories about the waste of food in the Key West army post, but we were regaled with tale after tale about the waste in the Navy Yard and on ships that came in there to get their supplies. * A man, who was connect- ed with the supply service, 6 | explained to us that a ship had to report what food it had on hand at the time it made its requisition for further supplies. Food on hand was deducted from a ship’s quota. One day, he said, he watched sailors until he was “sick to the stomach,” throw overboard boxes of butter, hams from which the wrap- pings had not been removed, slabs of bacon, sacks or parts of sacks of: potatoes and other foodstuffs. The object of thus de- stroying food, he stated, was to be able to report no food on hand when the or- der for the ship’s quota was made. Conditions, he stated further, were almost as bad in the yard. He told ofa workman who attempted to salvage a whole ham, still wrapped, from-a garbage dump, who was apprehend- ed by guards, reported and promptly discharged. Oth- ers were caught with pota- toes, onions and other vege- tables in their pockets or bosoms, had the vegetables taken from them and were warned, if they were caught again trying ‘to take food from the yard, they would be “fired.” Thus large quantities of wholesome food were taken to sea in barges and dumped overboard. We are aware that there must be waste’ in war. War itself is waste. But the waste should not include whole- some foodstuffs. Advice constantly was ‘is- sued in Washington, during the war, to civilians to “take a notch” in their collectiv belts... Americans ate to much anyway;~-less eating would be good for them. All of which was good advice, but while civilians were tightening their belts, foodstuffs were being wan- tonly destroyed in the armed service. “Buy more Bonds” was other good advice, but buy- ing them was no justifica- tion for the armed services deliberately to waste count- less millions of dollars re- ceived from the purchase of bonds. As the saying goes, “It is never too late to do good,” yet General Eisenhower has waited until’ a late hour to issue his order to the army to conserve food. Wanton: waste. of food makes any worthy American “sick to the stomach.” Diplomacy is kindness with brains. Objectors seldom do any- thing but object. The income tax collector makes it read, “from him that hath, it shall be taken away.” A.mother and a dog are two in the world that seem to have absolutely disinter- ested love. To rejoice in the happi- ness of others is to make it our own. Unfortunately, however, we confine the re-| joicing to our immediate relatives instead of making it general. Big Russia is arranging a! loan from little Sweden. It must be humiliating and | galling to be required to} do this. The projected loan is about $275 million. Aside | from the commercial advan- tages to be derived by the loan, the motive is political as well. Russia is a neighbor state and Sweden knows it is the part of wisdom to eul- tivate the friendship and good will of this powerful nation.

Today The Citizen says in an editorial paragraph: “Few workers are late when the clock shows it is time to go home.” Your Horoscope Today gives strong passion and a love of sensation. Good fortune attends this degree when not impeded by giving way to pride and vanity. In one horn as the day progresses, the fiery nature of the morning is intensi- fied by this weakness, and often leads to trouble, especially in finance.
