The Citizen's persistent opposition to the city manag- er’s recommendation was that it meant n unnecessary expenditure of the tax- payers’ money. THE ORACLE. WHY WIVES WORK The nation’s employment for¢e in- cludes 5,700,000 working wives, according to.the Women’s Bureau of the Department’ of Labor, which says that this represents an increase of about twa. million married, women workers since 1940. Analyzing the motives of mothers who seek employment, the Bureau finds a de- sire to continue work in order to help hus- bands “meet the day-by-day expenses of ordinary living and bringing up: a family.’* It points out, however, that in most normal families, mothers with children under six years of age do not work if they can avoid it. The figures show that only nine per cent of the wives in such families have employment, while for families with chil- dren under nineteen but ever six, the per- centage is 22.5 and for families without children, 73.9 per cent. ‘ Back of the working wives are eco- nomic responsibilities, .Obyiously, with only the husbands working, the income of the “family is considérably less than if the; wife can find employment. The added income often means the difference between bare existence and something of an-improvd standard of living, including the opporfunity to educate children for gréater service in life. f We think it would be nice if no wife, even if she is the head of a family, had to work. It would be idealfor all mothers to be able to devote their fuli time to their chitdren. Nevertheless, the fact of em- ployment does not necessarily mean the neglect bf home or family.In fact, the ex- tra’income seeured often more than makes up“for the absence of the woman part of the time. “We would not be surpsised if the num- ber of working wives continues to increase in the United States. The ambition of in- dividuals, seeking to advance the fortunes of themselves and their children, is strenu- ously supported by the stress of economic facts. We do not agree with the pessimists who are always quick to blame broken homes and wayward children upen the temporary absence of women from home, It may be that the example of a self-reliant woman, be she wife or mother, is a greater force for good than a woman with idle time, which is wasted in useless or unfruit- ful enterprises. OBJECTION A BLESSING It is an easy matter to hit on an objec- tion to any progressive movement. ‘More than half a century ago, when Key West- ers voted on a proposal to work for a Road to the Mainland, it was predicted thet the vote would be unanimous, but when the ballots were counted it was learned that one Key Wester opposed the project. His reason, for opposition was that he preferred to live in a Key West that was not connected with the mainland of Flor- ida. Our isolation, he argued, was really an asset. Thus it is not surprising that anyhody should oppose the .establishment of the Everglades Nationa], Park. One reason we noted against the park area is because it js infested with mosquitoes. That charge is true, hut the objecter should have realized that, in the deyelop- ment of the. park, the Department of the Interior will wage a relentless war an mos- qujtoes. It shoyld have occurred ‘to him further that the fight against mosquitoes in the park atea would benefit nearby commynities that, when a westerly wind blows, are attacked hy what are called Glade mosquitoes, It was demonstrated during the war that the mosquito pest ean be kept under control. Life was made livable for Amer- igan soldiers on islands in the Southwest Pacific by the Army’s.war on mosquitoes with DDT. Many an-atticle was written about the near extermination of mosqui- toes in sections of New Guinea, Guadal- ganal and other islands. Similar action will keep mosquitoes under control in the By- erglades National Park. We in Key West who have never been in the proposed park area don’t really know what mosquitoes are. The late J. G. Piodela was the local manager for a New York firm that obtained mangrove bark in the Shark River area, now included in the park, to be used in extracting tannic acid from it. But the undertaking had to be abandoned because mosquitoes killed the horses that the firm used to haul man- grove logs to the plant where the bark was removed, In the Cape Sable section of the park, while watching for turtle, we have wit- nessed mosquito ‘attacks in hordes of thou- sands. Finally, the mosquito objection’ will! turn out to bea lessing by the concentrat- ed fight that will be made to eliminate that pest, or cut down its numbers to a minimum. If the voters do not look out the news- paper columnists and. radio commentators will decide the 1948 election this summer. UNORTHODOX CAPITALIST Mr. Cyrus Eaton, Cleveland financiar and industrialist, is somewhat critical of “we capitalists” in conection with a dis- cussion of present-day industrial problems. Mr. Eaton says that capitalists, if they want to avoid extinction, will have to re- yise radically their ideas of dealing with labor. He suggests, as an_ initial step, “muzzling such organizations as the Na- tional Association: of Manufacturers.” The Cleveland capitalist thinks that business is overlooking a great reseryoir of talent by not inviting labor officials on the boards of directors of corporations, as well asthe boards of trustees of universities and ether public institutions. He complains about the easualness with which capital- ists are willing, even eager, “to inyite the collapse of our economie system in almost every industrial dispute, for the sole pur- pose of thwarting labor.” ~ . This is an interesting view coming from an established capitalist. It will pot be pepular with most of the representatives of the top branches of the tree of capital- ism but it contains a Jot of sense. Certainly, ag Mr. Eaton suggests, in a democracy, where the majority rules, capitalism “cannot suryive without the support of labor.” Some Bikini Ships “Hot” —_—- From naval sources comes information that-some of the target ships at Bikini continue to be radio-actively “hot” a year after the test of the atom bomb was made last summer. The second, or under-water bomb, hurled torrents of radio-active water over | the target ships and contaminated the qaters of the lag This resulted in per- sistent radio actiyity and the Navy is now conducting blood tests of all officers and ten who served during the pxperiment to be sure that they have not been injured by exposure to radio activity, Picnic July 4th | About 30 stenographers and yeomen attached to the adminis- tration building at the U.
