TION ILLUSIVE SAND Sand, as marine engineers are aware, is an ‘illusive thing. Currents and counter- currents sweep it ashore and form beaches, and under- tow sets in and carries. the sand to sea again. That has happened to coastal beaches in every part of the world. In no other part of the country are there better -beaches than in the Rockaways in New York City. Rockaway Beach, a community of many thousand, is nothing more than an accumulation of sand dunes that have been leveled. The contour of those beaches are forever chang- ing. At Far Rockaway, 60 years ago, the beach was separated from the shore by an inlet, and surf bathers had to cross in ferries to go in swimming. Ferry charges became so high, the beach was called “Hog Island,” but by the turn of the cen- tury the restless sea swept away Hog Island and car- ried much of the sand that had composed shore, providing a beach it to the} TUTTE ETNA Facts and Figures By 3 FULLER WARREN of Florida served in the armed forces during World War II. f total of 3,540 Floridians lost thei lives in the worst of all | All of them sustained severe eco- nomic losses by being away from money was being made.

THE ORACLE. —_— MONEY NOW | OR BLOOD LATER Declaring that World War I veterans “sadly re-} eall” that the Federal Gov-} ernment followed a policy of “false economy” before} the second World War, Rep-! resentative John J. Riley, of | South Carolina, said that) Congress must spend a+: “reasonable amount of| money now” or “an unrea- sonable amount of blood” later. j This is undoubtedly the correct picture of the situa- tion confronting the United! States in international af- fairs.

In the old days in Key West, an excellent beach ex- tended from the foot of | White street, on the south shore, to the head of the island, but the boulevard was built over the greater part of the beach, and, for some reason, all the sand that used to be off shore has disappeared. The engineers who made the survey for the county to determine the best place for a beach in Key West report- |ed that there is no sand off | shore in that locality: That what a report confirms | Western Union cable man- ager had told The Citizen at the time the proposal to | float a bond issue to build ia beach was first consider- ed. Three sites have been recommended by the engi- neers for the construction of but in each in- stance sand must be obtain- ed to form a beach, and, in the Key West area, retain- ing walls or jetties must be constructed to keep the sand from being washed away. That precaution, the engineers said, will not have to be taken if the beach is made on Stock Island. Sand is illusive because the sea is restless, forever cutting away here building up there, but man can conquer the sand, as he conquers other things, and The Citizen hopes Key West | will be provided with an at- tractive beach.

Many men who fought overseas brought home mementoes of their strug- gle, including in some in- stances shells of various types. It was the same after the first World War. Then inquisitive individuals lost their lives tampering with “exploded” shells. Now, it may be that you can protect your own if you realize the danger of such practices. The average politician is apt to believe anything good that he hears that somebody has said, if it is about him. Of all foolish human pro- cedures there is none that beats the father or mother, who tries to select a mate for his, or her, child.

In addi tion to being possible, it is likely to be safe. HISTORIC REPETITION ——. | When the nation finished the first World War it adopted certain policies which, in the light of subse- quent events, including the formation of the Axis, seem to have been rather foolish. It is the part of wisdom to learn from experience but it is still to be seen whether the people of this country have taken the les- son to heart. The Congress of the Unit- ed States, after the first World War, went in for tax reduction to enable busin to expand and for disarma- ment in order to make rooinm for tax reductions. If any- body reads the current news that emanates from Wash- ington there should be no doubt of the tendency to- ward the same policies. The point was made, in 1920, that there were no enemies of this country with sufficient power to make war. They may not have|move the dark, greasy stains that |Iron bed with good spring and been apparent at the time but they came into being with some suddenness in 1939. The same observation is true today. Nobody knows when_ potential enemies might loom on the horizon. and | acquiring federal housing and es- tablishment of emergency housing facilities for veterans and families of servicemen, It provides for allocation of funds by the direc- tor of finance on basis of 90 per cent from the state and 10 per cent from the local agency. Chapter 123 appropriated $250,- 600 for assisting veterans in pre- senting claims against the Fed- jeral government, arising out of j war service. | Chapter 36 increases the re- volving fund for purchase of farms and homes from $750,000 to $2,000,000. The Connecticut legislature ap- | a revolving fund by the state for- ester for the purpose of produc- jing lumber from state forests or from private forest lands to be used solely for housing of veter- ans. The Louisiana legislature pro- vided state aid for the education of children of deceased veterans of World War II. Surely, the children of the 3,540 Floridians who lost their lives in the late war should not be denied an ed- ucation because their fathers died defending the rest of us. The Federal government makes no provision for educating the chil- dren of men killed in the war, The state should. Even Mississippi, which is not noted for being progressive, has done a good part by its veterans. The Mississippi legislature cre- ated a Farm and Home Board of six members appointed |by the governor to assist veter- ans in buying a farm or home to cost not more than $5,000, where jit can be shown that a qualified veteran has been unable to ob- !tain a loan in his own community {or county. The state may pur- {chase a home or farm for a vet- eran and resell it to him with fi- nanceq@ payments at four per cent interest over a period not to exceed 25 years. The Farm and Home Loan Pro- \gram carries an appropriation of 000,000, with administrative 9enses not to exceed $25,000 a year. | Senate Bill 292 enables cities {and counties to underaake emerg- ncy housing facilities. |. Sen 3ii1 260 authorizes mu- nicipalities to execute contracts with the Federal government and to’ carry out their responsibility in providing temporary housing facilities for veterans. House Bill 2 and House Bill 840 removed minority disability for veterans who desire to enter into contracts and buy or convey property under the terms of the G.I. Bill If Mississippi, the poorest state in the Union, can do so much for its veterans, so can Florida, one of the w hiest in the South. 1 , OTTO CL Le LL Gpod Approximately 227,000. citizens | ia Al- r|Position for an intelligent young | wars. |, t Many thousands were wounded.
