County Commissioners Key Weat, Florida EDITOR IS MAD Your editor cut his foot on a piece of glass when he went swimming at South Beach yesterday. On Sun- day he got his feet all tangled up in a big wad of messy chewing gum some- ome had thrown in the sand, Por a while it was a ques- tio of who would win—the} editor or the chewing gum—! but he finally got untangled | and limped home, cussing to} himweelf. He was awfully) mad to think that any per-| son. in all of Key West could | be fo thoughtless as to throw | per Card om a public) wily used by! pe of persons. 7 ‘Teddy He is still madder! when he thinks of the per- | son who so thoughtlessly | left broken glass on the beach. Consideration of the, other fellow is a virtue that! ought to be cultivated by all! of ua, Those who go slam-bang-| ing through life thinking | only ef themselves seldom; get much happiness out of it. Hefore we carelessly throw; away chewing gum or care-| leasty leave broken glass ly- ing about we ought to first give a thought to the other fellow. oS U. & SHOULD PROTECT ITs MEN The fact that official Chinese Communist agencies edmit thatttheir troops re- cently fought a battle with U. 8. Marines will cause some Americans, no doubt, to ask why the Marines are in China? _- This is not the point at ieue, however. According to the Marine Corps, a motor convey, one of the regular patrols which run over the highway every third day, wee ambushed in a deep cut between cornfields and the Chinese opened fire with machine guns, rifles and grenades without warning. Whether the Marines were where they ought to be or not, they were carrying owt duties assigned by the U. & High Command. Con- sequently, they are entitled te the full protective force that ean be applied to their defense. There should be no hesitation, whatever, in let- ting the world know that it does not pay to attack American soldiers, sailors or Marines. Of course, this does not mean that the United States should open war with the Communists in China, but it does mean that the United States should see that its 4s | make an expenditure of that type they would have to be} could, if such a pier exi go there to board a charter boat, and yachts, coming to port, could berth there. The commissioners realiz- ed that before they could so authorized by-a legisla- tive enabling act. Some residents of the county entertained the view that,.as the pier would be for the benefit of Key West, it should be built by the city. However that may be, a pier of that type is essential to the welfare of Key West as a tourist center. Probably it is out of the question at present for the city to make such an im- provement because of the shortage of money. For that reason, it seems to us that a yacht and charter boat pier would be a well-paying investment for private cap- ital. ‘A year or so ago it was proposed to use a site in the Garrison Bight to build piers for the accommodation of yachtmen and charter boat- men, but just as soon as one’ . man asked for a concession, | Eminence, Missouri. a dispute arose, and the pro-! Key West In'e=” Days Gone By az, ject died a-borning. It was learned also that many thousands of dollars would have to be spent in the bight for dredging pur- poses. That would be an ex- pense that would be mini- mized were a pier built off the intersection of Caroline and Grinnell streets. There is no particular use to parade your religion; if you have any, somebody will find it out. The idea that marriages’ originate in Heaven is dis- turbed by the number that end in the divorce courts. Sport has always been popular, and it was popular even judging by references to the frequent them in the Old Testament; both Isaiah | and Jeremiah employing athletic similes in their writings with great effect. COST RECORDS ON SHIPS _ While we are of the opin- ion that the construction of ships in this country, during | the war. should be thorough- ly investigated, we take the opportunity to correct an impression erroneously created by earlier press re- ports. W. L. Slattery, construe- 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. In 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 secon- dary importance. forces wherever they are, are in sufficient strength to protect themselves.

I would like to write you for some information whith you might give a veteran about get- ting a job as Life Guard on some | Florida Beach. I was a life guard in 1941 at one very large munici pal swimming pool in St. Louis County. At the present time I am conducting a very small swimming class for small chil- dren in my home town for the promotion of public safety, but since swimming season is almost over I am looking around for more work like the job I had in 1941. I spent almost four years in the army during the war. Also structor in the amphibian corps. Just now I am not making a cent above epenses and living on the money I saved up in the army. 1 am 39 years old but am in good health and am not encumbered in any way. I do not wish to boast but I consider myself by far the best swimmer in my county and am also an excellent diver. I can remain under the water for two minutes at a time and my hobby is deep diving and swimming under water. I can swim 160 feet under water; and wish to work where my exper- ience can be of service, instead of just a sport. Any information you can give jme about how and where I might get a position in southern Florida would be greatly appre- ciated. My service is needed in Florida and I amidle except for the swimming class I teach. LUTHER L.
