MONOGRAPHS To Radio Announcers: An occasional mispro- nounced word over the air waves is excusable, but One lapsus linguae after another is inexcusable. They jar one’s nerves. A good announcer should be a correct pronouncer, a Seriously, THE ORACLE. WARREN R. AUSTIN REPORTS PROGRESS It is worth calling to pub- lie attention the statements of Warten R. Austin; United: States delegate to the Unit-| Shivering long before we ed Nations, that the Soviet representatives met the United States “halfway” on some and that “came to the a two nations better under- standing with each other” at! the recent session of the General Assembly. With many people appar- ently convinced that a war is inevitable in the future, it is encouraging to have one of the leading American representatives come out with a statement which in- dicates that progress has been made on the long road away from war. Where ‘are very few for- tunes that are accidentally made. ‘The best asset that Key West has is its people, and the best ass the people have is their children. It is not possible for the individuals of the human vace to be made equal, al- though the opportunity ex- ists. There will be always hewers of wood and draw- ers of water. For the information of tourists visiting Key West, as well as some Key West- ers: The Gulf Stream passes through the = Straits, which Key West is situated, as a stupendous river of warm blue water 50 miles in width and 2100 teet deep. The Straits commence near Dry Tortugas and end at Jupiter Florida. The supreme court of the United States sometimes blunders j tals do. The recent portal- to-portal decision, if put in- to practice, would destroy our economic system. In the year 1836, the supreme court declared that trade unions were unlawful, and at once wages fell and hours were increased to 13 and 15 a day in the case of tailors due to the decision, Le nn ia important principles ' on} ust as other mor-|! THE WEATHER Mark Twain said every- body complains about t he! weather, but nobody ever does anything about it. He could have added that a person’s comparison of weather conditions that go back to “when I was a boy,” _| generally is erroneous. Up New England way, Downeasterners. are always primed to tell you that the winters in their boyhood dpys were more severe than ‘they are at | wont to say, as we have said -| recently, “This is the warm- est winter I have ever ex- perience.” That is the way oldtimers | talk about the weather. As to this winter here, it is one} of the warmest in the his- | tery of the Key West Weather Bureau, which was established in 1870, but not the warmest. The Citizen published the -bureau’s monthly report for last month, showing that the temperature was 4.3 de- grees higher than the nor- December, as the bureau informed The Citizen. The records were not searched to find the warmest Decem- | ber, but it was known that a few other Decembers, since the bureau was formed, had temperatures as high or slightly higher. And if the Downeastern ers got the records of. th find that there is little dif- ferences between the win- ters in that part of the country today, as compared | ago. | The “warmest” day is the | day we are perspiring, and {the “coldest,” the day we jare shivering. Weather af- {fects only now: what it was which wrong. Finally, we heard a good many Westers declare, the last month or so, that they wished we would have a ;ory, i Key mereury tumbling. occurred, we would not be | would be wishing for*warm | Weather again. ams, Thomas Jefferson tells us that conversation was “the enor- mous price of labor.’ The President declared that he fore for $50 a year and | board, while now he was obliged to pay the enormous sum of $150 a year. In 1935, domestic workers in New York, averaged $3.50 a week; today the most usua rate is $35 a week. Howev- er, the food was ever so much better and more abun- dant then than now.
