THE ORACLE. WANTS MORE CLOTHES ON WOMEN A lettet-writer to a newspaper in a neighboring state suggests that we have “reached sex-o’clock in our social history” and denounces’ the ‘viciously suggestive literature and pictures that appear in our periodicals.” The gentleman is concerned about the “beautiful girls and women” that appear in the public print without much clothes and wants the Christian women to start a movement of protest against the indecency now prevailing. We cannot share the gentleman’s alarm, although we are quite frank to ad- mit that some literature and some photo- graphs reflect the poor taste of the pub- lisher and those who read and look. Never- theless, customs change with the years and, as we have learned, so does the prop- er dress for women. We remember, some years ago, when a female went in swimming with enough clothes on to drown her. Gradually, the ladies and girls began to shed their volu- minous outfits and today a popular bath- ing resort’ closely resembles what the theatrical magnates call a “girl show.” There are good, sensible and modest women in Key West who appear in pub- lic in clothes which, in their grandmothers’ day, would have caused a scandal. In fact, a modern two-piece bathing suit, if it had been worn in 1900, would have caused the ostracism of the wearer and the good fath- ers and mothers of the community would have probably run her out of town. We have no idea that the morals of the younger generation have degenerated be- cause of the costumes, brief and other- wise; worn by the women. Certainly, mod- ern beauty contests, in whieh young wo- } men. of the finest type participate, seem to be very popular and none of the con- testants apparently object to their photo- graphs being published in the newspapers. The probability is that the interest be- ing taken in the female form and figure by men, as well as women, will result in the improvement of the physical bodies of the race. Gone is the ideal of the pallid, wan and illness-cherishing female. In her place is a live-wire, athletic and outdoors type. It looks like an improvement to us. News is not everything that happens; it is only those things whach are reported. The-New York Times is in error when. it promulgates its slogan, “All the News That's Fit to Print.” It couldn't live up to that assertion if it printed innumerable extra pages, BACK-BREAKING Key West Chamber of Commerce has received a bulletin from the Florida State Chamber of Commerce that will give Key Westers a good idea of the back- breaking burden of federal taxation im- posed on Americans. The bulletin quotes this statement made by Dean James E. McCarthy: “I think it is time to tell our people —not just once, but again and. again— that in this country at least, government was not created to organize the daily life of its citizens; that man is not govern- ment’s creature but that government is man’s creature—instituted by him for the preservation of his rights. “We must tell our people of the des- perate financial dilemma we are in be- cause of the government’s continued profligacy; and that because of this pro- fligaey we must reconcile ourselves to giving « large share of our income to the government for years to come. “We must realize that government does not create income, as you and I do —that is—by producing goods and serv- ices. Government can get its income only by taking it from its citizens—from you and me. And, in this connection, we must remind our people that the only thing the so-called liberals have to be liberal with, is the wages and profits earned by others. What else is there to divide?” Commenting on Dean McCarthy’s blast, the State Chamber of Commerce produces figures to show how the taxation affeets Floridians: “Floridians paid $413,659,317 in fed- eral taxes during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1947, an increase of 4.8 per cent over the previous fiscal year as compared with a decrease of 4 per cent for the na- tion as a whole, the research and indus- trial division of the Florida State Cham- ber of Commerce stated yesterday in its weekly business review. “Expressed in terms of Florida prod- ucts, this federal tax bill paid by Floridians was 12 millions of dollars more than the total value of all fruits, vegetables, field erops and livestock sold in the state, and practically equal to the estimated value of all products manufactured in Florida last year.” Going to an osteopath may not help some people, but it makes them feel bet- ter, and that is a desirable objective. COMPARISON — When one reads that the industrial out- put of the United States is haif of the world total and that this country, with only seven per cent of the world’s popula- tion, has eighty per cent of the automo- biles, fifty per cent of the telephones, fifty-four per cent of the refrigerators and forty-two per cent of the radios, one won- devs what the rest of the people have. Look around, however, in Monroe county, we have a part of the population without jautomobiles, telephones, refrig- erators and radios. We find houses unfit for human habitation and without the or- dinary convenierfces of urban life. We find human beingsinadequately clothed and im- properly fed. We find bodies suffering from disease. despite the known. fact that modern medical science can restore health. If such things exist in the United States, the wealthiest region in the world, and they do, how much worse must con- ditions be in countries with less industrial production? How badly must the people of the war-devastated areas suffer, with agriculture and industrial production shattered and without financial and other resources necessary to lift the standards of living? Americanism: Trying to make others provide the funds we want. : VERY WELL DONE Congress put in full time during the seven months of the recent session, and on the whole the record is good. Peace- time legislation occupied a gread deal of time and if nothing else was mentioned the limitation on a Presidential term of ten years was a magnificent triumph for what we call Democracy. Right on top of the passage of that bill, the fact was revealed that President Roosevelt stepped in to prevent cancella- tion of How&rd Hughes’ wartime contract to build the world’s largest flying boat. The late President Roosevelt had a way of bossing his Cabinets and it is a good thing that Jesse H. Jones, former Secretary of Commerce, this particular raw deal. told all thout | | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN oektti: Radio Programs aa tiated ame time Mons ri ime Is eastern, fd.
