Yours Truly, THE ORACLE. | ECONOMY DIFFICULT Without passing issue up- om the merit of the matter discussed, we call attention te the fact that economy in Federal expenditures is hard te attain. Sometime ago, the Presi- Gent divected reductions in @pprepriations for rivers and harbors and fleed control for the fiseal year 1947. The total invelved was around! $350,000,000 Not long afterward, a greup of congressmen, in- eluding members of both parties, visited the Chief Ex- eeutive to protest the cuts although members were in faver of balancing the bud-! get The same story is usually repeated about every re- duction in Federal expendi- | ures. A cut is projected ant} sometimes gets into effect. | Immediately. interested citi- | wens get in touch with their | congressmen and the matter t» reepened. Usually, this; results in clipping economy. | BUILDING INDUSTRY There is a great shortage of materials for construct- new houses and busi- establishments. Th at has inereased the costs and slowed down the boom in building. A ‘large part of those millions of new homes for returning soldiers have siveady gone on the waiting ist, as lower prices are al- ready in sight. Besides, all the oldsters | still remember the tremen- cous boom in real estate and. i} hess buildings immediately after World War Ll, And they also remember the crash and/ crisis in the buildings and! real estate markets that fol- | lowed. The old proverb | tells us: “History repeats | itself.” | Tips are wages we pay! other people's hired help. | Castor oil, it is said, is of! definite use in the automo- tive industry. Little Willie hopes they get it all. ROssia wants the powers | ef Eastern Europe to settle, their affairs without inter-| ference from the western) nations; this means, in es-| wemee, that the settlement} willbe along Russian lines. | | Blockade runners, prominent West or its vicinity with | supplies for the, Cuban | troops. {only sent ‘ ripeness in which they keep | ef the month keep it going. | | that the EL GRITO DE. YARA October Tenth is to Cu- bans what the Fourth of July is to the people of the Unit- ed States, < We Cubans call their day El Grito de Yara. It was at a sugar mill, La Demaguagua, in Yara, that Cubans struck first for liberty. They were led by Carlos Manuel de Ces- pedes, who is to Cubans what George Washington is to Americans, The little band at Yara was led by Cespedes, and, although the fight for lib- erty started there was crush- ed, yet it kindled a fire of patriotism in the hearts ofj Cubans that smoldered till February 24, 1895, when an- other determined strike was_ made for liberty. That day! is designated as El Grito de Baire. Key West figured prom-} inently in the war the Cu-{ bans waged against Spain| during that period. Here| many a meeting was held in and here Jose Marti, leader of that revelu- tion, stirred Cuban colonists toa fervor that not only touched their hearts but their pocketbooks also. Many thousands of dol- lars were raised by them to buy arms and ammunition for the Cubans in the field. | among them the tug Three Friends, which eluded many | a Spanish warship, left Key! But Key West Cubans not; supplies to the} fighting Cubans. A good| many in Key West enlisted | in the Cuban army and! were spirited to the shores | of Cuba in blockade runners. El Grito de Yara is a glor- ious day for Cubans, and The Citizen commends them here and in Cuba for the their memory of that day when a handful of Cubans, under Cespedes, struck} against the Spanish forces in| the Island Republic. Democracy means that all are good enough to havea voice in ,saying who their leaders are to be. The early settlers started this country and those who settle promptly on the first | peace eS We are decidedly on the } side of organized labor in its efforts to improve the con-/ ditions of the workingman, | but we do not hesitate to suggest that some of the de- mands being put forward | by labor are absurd, and prejudicial to their own cause. | aes ' Eating of meat is a habit, | and we can do without it. In fact there are many races/ living almost exclusively onj vegetable foods, whose peo- ple are virile and healthy; | they obtain vitamin A al-! most entirely from vege- tables. Abstaining from mean is not only good for; the body but, at the present | astronomical prices, it is eco- nomiecally sound. PRODUCTION CLIMBING Civilian production has} had a “terrific” climb in the | past two months, according | to Civilian Production Ad-|{ ministrator John D. Small, | who says that if the present! rate continues to the end of 1946, it will eliminate most of the problems of recon-| version. | Small says that there were | 58,000,000 persons employ ed in August and only 2.-; 000,000 unemployed. lowest figure since 1 j The jobless total includes unemployables and Small, says that reinforcement of the labor foree can come only from women and re- tired individuals. Highlights of the monthly | report on production show | that basic materials are) close to capacity, that in-| dustrial output reached a new post-war peak and that, the production of building materials compared favor- ably with the rate of pro-/ duction increase on military | 5 items during the war period.i Hunter, Friedland!
