PAGE TWO To Municipal‘ Voters: First announcemen Commission has appe zen. It is going to bé’ campaign, and may the best man’ win is the wish of THR ‘ORACLE. THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE —_ It has.been said. that hu ger and cold are comimunism’s - Most. That aphotism ‘underlies the, present Unit- with: its emphasis on material aid to ‘natioris threatened: by Soviet diplomatic’ and ecqnoinic ageres- ed States foreign: policy; sion. ‘France is a perfect example: of thle. | France must have | two basic: materials from the United States—and if she doesn't get them from us, the way will be paved tor her complete debcent into totalitarian- ism. One of the commodities is wheat— France's own crop will be ofly-about one- fifth of her prewar crop. The other‘ com+ modity is coal—and, to quote a Life édi- torial, “Coal for France meahs the differ- ence between just getting by and utter ‘in- dustrial collapse.” Fortunately, the . United . States. will have a bumper crop this year, and filling France’s requirements will not be am ex- cessive drain. Coal, however, is another matter. We have plenty of it in the ground. But it eannot be used to aid France or to serve ourselves unléss the « miners get it out. To quote Life once more, “The man who burns coal in Main Street must under- stand why he must consetve just as cléear- ly as John L. Lewis mustyunderstand the necessity of avoiding, a.coal strike.” If we fail to deliver the coal, we will be playing straight into the hands of the communists: If France ever eters thé Soviet orbit, the iron curtain will soen cover all of Europe. What this‘amounts.to is that Atherican materials are now a diplomatic weapon. If the greatest democratic power in the world cannot succor distressed peoples, stricken nations will turn to the greatest dictator- ship in the world, and the cause of human freedom will be irretrievably damaged. Here is the ultimate challenge to Amer- ican industry—and to American labor. ‘ One of these days all problems now bothering us will be solved but few citi- zens of Key West will be around when the time eomes. Every once in a while an undesirable citizen of a community gets everybody wishing that he would get it in the neck and he does—eventually, Trading in Key West is the best way to make prosperity here. Keep your dol- lar at home and it will develop the com. munity at a satisfying pace. THE ANCHOR Every day we are. reminded that man had to be a sturdy, determined animal to or more he has been of Earth, He has been beset by «a thousand:.and’ sutvive his half million or million years one diseases, by fire and sword and storm, in his struggleto come through the ages. Among the diseases that have mowed | Him down is tuberculosis, which the Man- roe County Health Department fighting by X-raying ; -residents to deter- is new mine whether or not they have contracted that disease. Consumption, as it was gen- erally called in former times, while not Bs dreadful now in taking its toll of human , | tives, is still among the worst killers. -Nobody knows, regardless of what his appearance may be, whether or not he hhs tuberculosis in its incipient stages, It is a-most treacherous and _ insidious dis- ease, and it would be well for every Key Wester to be X-rayed while he has the opportunity. That service costs nothing and ‘thay be the means sh saving a godd many_ lives. The will to live is the siciigese force in man. It has been because of his tenacity to ¢ling to life that he: survived the sticoessive ice ages that wiped out many forms of animal life. Even when in a sav- age state he found ways to adapt himself to changed climati¢ conditions. It is an old but true saying that life is a struggle. Will to live has kept man on Earth, and ambition to better himself has brought him from eave and trees to the comforts of homes. At one time life was a day-by-day affair with him, fighting to get enough to eat, every day, bit how, while he eats today he is concerned also in eat- ing tomorrow, so he buttresses himself against the morrow. Man is beaten only when he can no jonger visualize the light that burns in the future, which is hope, the “anchor of the soul.” Society will always have a minority fringe made up of crooks and would-be crooks, which will have to be trimmed regularly to keep straight. ANOTHER DISASTROUS FLOOD Fed by swollen tributaries, the Mis- sissippi River is staging another of its record floods, doing untold damage to property, destroying crops. and making thousands of ‘people homeless as its water breaks through protective dikes. Along with the Mississippi, the Mis- souri River and other feeder streams have been on the rampage. In Missouri, the over- all damage is estimated to be clese to $100,000,000; The average reader will wonder what causes such a tremendous flood. He will remember that the nation experienced; much devastation in years past, but some- how had an. idea that such floods had been curbed. The answer is given by meteorologists, who point out that water- sheds. around ‘the St. Louis area have re- eeived three times the normal sypply of rain for this time of the year. One of the by-products of the damage being done by the flood waters is the in- creased prices indicated for some crops. With untold acreages of crop lands inun- dated, the market followers suspect that the crop will be short. This means a high- er price and the buyers act accordingly. The rich folks, in-a given community, think that they are the really important part of the population. SHOOTING STARS Has anybody seen a “shooting star” lately? Astronomers estimate that close to 20 million smail bodies enter the earth’s at- mosphere from without every twenty-four hours and, being intensely heated by fiction in the air, are consumed before reaching the ground. Only a few are vis- ible on any one night. It is interesting to note that these for- eign particles, when in contact with the earth’s atmosphere, begin to glow and burn up between fifty and one hundred | miles above the earth’s surface. The dust of the visitors, however, finally settles down to rest upon the globe. There have been occasions when thousands of shooting, stars have been ob- served. This is extremely unusua} but there are several months in the year when | a goo@ display can be expected if condi- tions happen tp be right. There is such an deccasion in the latter part of July but @ better one®in the first half of August and the best known in the fall, @TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1947 is, Apply To Wed |Edna Peat Weds _An application for a marriage Manuel Carrera Days Gone By cers: was sted yesterday with) yy, nd arn C2 J.
