The Citizenry : | Joyfully, I predict that | most everybody in Key |} West will get a Holiday | within the next few days, including { Yours, ' THE ORACLE. PRAYERS FOR HEALGH | The spectacle of thou-! sands of soldiers-in C am p; Lee, Virginia, praying for; the health of a T-year-old | girl, stricken with paralysis, finds a place on the news wires. The Chaplain at the camp’ called attention to the “spir-! itual assistance” and “spir-' itual. aid” that children; sometimes need for their) “physical well-being.” | The incident illustrates! the dependence of people upon spiritual assistance but it also emphasizes the dif-' ferente of opinion among: various believers as to the efficacy of mental, or spir-! itual, treatment of disease. We believe it is a fact that’ in the early days ofthe} Christian religion, there was! « widespread belief in the! power of prayer to cure; physical ills and ever today! many people accept this! theery } WASTE DENIED’ In connection with charges of waste in the sale of @arplue goods by the Army one would do well not accept at face value all that interested persons allege. Reeently, the House Com- mittee,“Set up to check on the disposal of war sur- pluses. raced to Atlanto to investigate reports that $1,- 000,000 worth of electronic matefial had been sold to a iunk dealer for $600. After hearing.twelve witnesses, the. ¢ ittee concluded thatethe military authorities | were ndt.“geriously at fault” in deciding to sell the prop- erty a8 scrap. Outside interests some- time destroy an inside job. ” A hard task is, eased by the application of imme- diate energy. Greece seems to be in-} ctined to democratic meth-} ods even though surrounded by a sea of communism. Let's not forget that the | next wan if and when it ar- | rives, will not afford us two or three years in which to train the men necessary .to defend this country. rs} pirate gold was published in that has been found here. The writer has resided in Key West for half a neard | and more and has heard a thousand tales of that na- ture, but not one that: has: been authenticated. * Latest of yarns abou t Holiday, the new Curtis publication, issued in Phila- delphia. It reminded us of a century-old story with whieh galed. It should be borne in mind that, more than a century ago, the pirate-gold tales were recounted .in Key West. Further than that, stories were told in the Ba- hamas about the east with whieh money could be pick- ed up on the streets in Key West. A man and his wife came here from. some island in the Bahamas ‘on the good ship Mary Jane, which old- time Key Westers may re- call. When the couple cfime |} ashore at Curry’s wharf, the wife said: “Let’s keep our eyes on the ground to pick up some of that money they told us about.”” On reaching Front street, the husband saw- a dime }and was. about to stoop to pick it up, when his wife touched him on the shoul- der and admonished: - “Don’t bother with that, John. Let’s wait till we run across some of them big sil- ver pieces.” Pirate gold, so far as Key} West is concerned, is in the | | same category. Probably a doubloon has been found, now -and then, but if any pirate hordes were hidden here, they are still hidden, ‘for human nature is such that he who finds gold, bub- bles anxiously to tell it to the world. That characteris- tie is even true of prospec- tors that strike gold, off by themselves in the wilds of the hills or distant streams. Invariably they come to town to tell of their discov- eries. If most women were as bad as they are painted they wouldn’t paint. If you don’t think the public has buying power how do you explain the black market? The idea that taxes can be reduced while the Fed- eral government continues to pay for local ‘improve- ments and finance. the re- cent war is far-fetched, to say the least.
