After the announcement in The Citizen yesterday afternoon of your early departure for other fields of en- deavor, there were expressions of deep regret on every hand. You have made a most favorable impression on the peo- ple of this community. May good health and success abide with you. THE ORACLE. Loree Ler ees CHRISTMAS DOO-DADS: { ee. ee One, of the glorious _ things about i the Christmas season is the anticipation of f discovering what new wrinkles manufac- turers are bringing out for the gift trade. = This year’s crop may not be entirely new, * but they will not be lacking in appeal. Among the items available is a pretty ¢ bowl with lid marked “Dad’s,” which is - a receptacle for the false teeth of poor old father. Just in case mother uses false chewers, one can purchase a similar affair marked “Mom’s.” This is all very touching and it isn’t difficult to imagine the joy expressed by dad upon reaching into his sock on Christ- mas morning and finding that long awaited safety deposit box for his false teeth, Another deal is a sort of curved iron affair whieh is laid on the floor so that dad and;the boys can practice golf all winter. A home with the men all standing around with putters could be rather zest- ful, and what about mother’s rug? One enterprising outfit has brought out a grapefruit cutter with 16 blades. That is fine, although some cynics profess to believe three times 16 blades would be about right. A cup with the name of junior on the side is hailed as the invention that will make him rush to the bathroom constantly to wash his teeth, Another present is a tree to hang pretzels on, and the family cat is not overlooked. There is a mouse house. A mechanical mouse jumps out of this house now and then to say “Boo” at Tom. The assortment of inventions for drink- ers is unlimited. Yep, Christmas is a joy- ful season, and the old-fashioned naughty boy who got a cob in his stocking on Christmas morning would indeed -be lost these days.- Kepeatee Pere vever Cer trert seer e rece) er reer es Ce teeters aes wreres It might be that. appeals for right liv- ing and character building would sound better without the echo of the collection plate. ———<—<—<—$— Can you name one general who hasn’t added any lustre to the Air Force? His name is what Goering said he would call himself if ever Berlin would be “strafed” by air power, but without the use of the final “s.” PS te esate soet ate SQUARF, MEAL It is hard for most adults.to under- stand how a child can wantonly take the Aife of a bird without a passing thought of regret, but if they look back to their own childhood, they will recall that they, too, cared little whether a bird lived or died. There are some exceptions among chil- dren, but the general run of them must be taught to entertain kindly feelings toward birds, as well as other creatures. The boy who tries to kill a bird sees no harm in trying to hit a dog or a cat with a stone. That attitude is instinctive in the general run of children, The former president of an ammuni- tion company once told us_ that, in his youth, hunting was his favorite sport. But the older he got the less inclined he was to take the lives of birds or other creatures of the wild. Finally, he reached that point where his revulsion against shooting was such that he sold his ammunition interests | and gave away the guns that once had been his pride. Bill Lee, in his column in The Citizen, tells of a pet pelican in the Garrison Bight at Palm avenue and Division streets. Pelicans have been pets along the shore front in Key West for a longer time than can be recalled by the oldest Key West- ers. Pelicans frequented Curry’s fish mar ket wharf in large flocks 60 years or so ago, and, since the turn of the century, Peter Roberts not only has fed pelicans at the wharf, but also seagulls and man-of- war hawks. It is surprising to see how many fish a pelican can eat for a meal, but the most surprising thing in that regard concerned a man-of-war hawk that Mr. Roberts used to feed. One morning Mr. Roberts found seven small yellowtails that had turned belly up in a car overnight. He scooped them out, and one after another threw to the Hawk, which swallowed them in succession. “That ought to be a square meal for him,” Mr. Roberts. commented. It is good to have some religion in busi- ness, but not-too much business in religion. WAR TALK Some apparently well informed peo- ple, with connections that give them ac- cess to hints and clues unavailable to the average citizen are talking imminence of war, . This talk is based on rumors that war supplies are being ordered in large quan- tities, that the Army is taking off the market supplies once marked for surplus sale; that World War II planes are being made ready for action, and that caves are being converted into gigantic industrial centers. The truth, as disclosed in Washington, is that much of the nation’s surplus war supply has been taken from the market because it is needed by American occupa- tion forces in Germany and Japan and for relief purposes in Europe. Army clothing, for example, is being withdrawn from the market, dyed black and sent to Ger- many to clothe the populace. Strategic materials are being stock- piled as a matter of precaution. Under- ground factories are in the dream stage. An experimental project may be started next year. Less than a thousand World War II planes are undergoing rebuilding for military service in an effort to get the Air Force up to authorized strength. All branches of the military services— despite the fact that the federal govern- ment is spending $40,000,000,000 a year —are far below the strength needed for war. The reason is that no one expects Russia to be able to fight for 10 or 15 years at least. Food is not abundant in Russia, where most of the wheat is still harvested with hand sickles. Wars are not fought on that basis today. The idea that excuses fool anybody is imaginary. GAS AND OIL SHORT It begins to look like automobilists and fuel oil users will again go through the experience of rationing and it might re- mind us of the days during the war when there was a strict allotment of gasoline and fuel oil. The larger companies, we understand, are allocating scarce gasoline to dealers now and other companies will probably have to follow suit. There may be some relief, because driving has fallen off slight- ly since summer, but experts say that the demand is about ten per cent higher than last year. ‘ : THE KEY WEST CITIZEN mee The Citizens Food Committ Suggest: | ‘Radio Programs | ————— | eens Daytime Summary Belected programs as listed below broadcast at the sa DEC. 8 THROUGH DEC. 12 Morning 9:00—Honeymoon in N.

One secret of its suc- cess is its use of cheese, which not only adds tangy flavor but provides additional protein of highest qual- ity. For color and texture contrast, serve with this casserole baked po- tatoes, mashed: rutabagas or yel- low turnips, and shredded lettuce salad. For dessert, try Prune and Date Betty, made with cereal flakes instead of the usual bread crumbs.

First thing Ben does is write us complaining how Our Town has changed. “Why, there’s no mud in the streets to sink up to your ankles in!” he says. “No pistol feuding in the town square! No _ moonshine liquor or Saturday night brawls!
