SSOCIA’ MONOGRAPHS Dear Sol: You're a fine guy in the wintertime, but right now we fre having too. much of you. How about turning off thesheat? Yours, THE ORACLE Old Sol In The Sky Key West, Florida REMINDER FOR HOUSEWIVES The Florida State Board of Health has reminded | housewives that they should be careful to keep garbage covered until it is gathered for disposal. The Board points out that uncovered garbage draws flies which may “taffy, typhoid fever germs and possibly polio. Key West housewives, for the most part, are carefuly » to keep their garbage.cov- ered, but ‘unhappily.’there are a few throughout the city who neglect this impor-| itants of Key West d tant duty. Even one uncovered gar- bage can and the disease it. may cause is enoughto be the source of a widespréad epidemic. One uncovered can is enough to offset all the good that is acomplish- ed by a thousand ones that are covered. We urge every housewife in the city to give heed to the warning of the State Board of Health and to take special care in seeing that their garbage cans are well covered at all times: ANOTHER ATOMIC EXPLOSION The second atomic bomb has beth exploded ‘under the waters of the Pacific and the reports of destruc- tion are coming in,,with the} ships in this country, during I \ in| the war, should be thorough- their interpretation of the} ly investigated, we take the experts . again © varying experiment. We have no doubt, what-| impression erroneously ever, of the tremendous de-} created by earlier press re- structive power of the bomb used against the Japanese and tested at Bikini but that there is no defense against the weapon seems’ improb- able. Neither does it appear clearly that. warfare has been revolutionized. While we are anxious for the experts who control our defense policies to keep abreast of scientific deve- lopments and make use of every new weapon that tends to increase the mili- tary power of the United States, we are just as an- xious for them to keep their feet on the ground, without becoming too enthusiastic about a new weapon until it has. thoroughly established itself, It takes money, brains and energy to make a busi- ness grow, regardless of what workers may assume.

Can w ferry support Key West’s pop- ulation of approximately 19,000 je?

The rea- ‘son for the discrepancies is not hard to find: both writ- ers are propagandizing. Madame Sun Yat Sen, widow of the first president of the Chinese republic, de- clared, a week ago, that re- actionaries in China and this country were trying to bring about a war between Rus- sia and the United States. Whether or not she was right, we may be sure that there is altogether too much propaganda here against | Russia and too much propa- ganda in that. eountry against this country. Whither will this propa- gandizing lead? : The interests of all inhab- erve the consideration of ‘every public official and the best | ists flowing down here, thar Key way to make progress: is to take care of every legiti- mate interest. The Philippines have been given theiz freedom and are a free people, but there are a few’ strings tied’ to that condition and may be for the best interests of the Filipino. One of, these conditions, created under the Philip- pines rig. eget Act of 1934, is that the president | of the Philippines makes an annual report to the president of the United States. < COST RECORDS ON SHIPS While we are of the opin- ion that the construction of opportunity to. correct an ports. W. L. Slattery, construc- tion finance director, was quoted as saying that the Maritime Commission had lost its records in regard to the construction of more than $900,000,000 worth of ships and that purchases could not be allocated. How- ever, he makes it plain that} he was referring to book-| keeping records and_ that) resident auditors, in the var- ious shipyards, had control of their records and that the! cost of the ships built will be shown in a forthcoming} report. : Tn connection. with. the; charges of “waste ‘and ex-| travagance” that arise in) connection with the tremen-| dous production of war ma-} terial, one should remember’ that the urgent need for} haste justified expenditures | that, in normal times, would | have been absurd. After all, | the nation was trying to| build “‘ships faster than they | were being sunk” and costs | were, of necessity, of sec-/| ondary importance. | | unexplained disappearance. of families whose men were laid off. Most of them are leaving to find work up north. ‘That is the only reason they are leaving. |. They,really do not want to leave Key West but what else can they do? If there was work here for them, they would not have to leave and would be more than glad to stay. To find work out- side of the military yards is al- most impossible. So what is the answer? My) answer is gambling. By gamb-| ling, I do not mean a sneak joint with peep-holes and back doors. I mean licensed and _ honest gambling casinos, run and main- tained by people in the open.

Your Horoscope TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1946— The child of today will be pre- cocious and rather rash but there are later indications of a fir’, steadfast character. There is a! determination to hold to one’s own beliefs and principles, which should not be too rigidly forced upon others, for it is liable to bring opposition and_ trouble. Train this child along such lines that the foundation may be toler- ant as well as firm. ‘TODAY IN HISTORY (Know America) 1629—Gathering of the First Church of the Congregational Or- der. at Salem, Mass. 1844—-John C.
