FE ae ~ THERE'S ACTION IN THE KITCHEN % . Alliaround us these days there's busy & preparation for the approaching* Ghrist- '* mas season. Crowded stores indicate that ™ many are trying to finish their shopping .2 before the last minute. (However, there’ll -* always be those who lag behind!) There’s action in the kitchen, too, as plum. pud- dings and favorite fruit cakes are baked, snugly wrapped, and stored away to ripen for the festivities. if Even so homemakers are still put to _ the test of treating their families to ban- " quet fare on a budget allowance. For in = conformance with the government’s Food = Conservation program there are foods she * will want to spare as much as possible. .; That means that other items on her menu , Must be spotlighted. Fortunately, many scarcities of a year ago are plentiful now, ® such as preferred real mayonnaise. Inci- * dentally, mayonnaise was concocted for a «: royal, feast.in France long .ago, so it’s “# more than qualified to share honors on ‘%, special holiday menus. “ — But food isn’t the most important part = of the Christmas season, although it does {@ occupy prominence, It’s the warm friend- ~ liness that counts most—it’s the “Peace on rn “. Earth, Good Will Towards Men,” ie « pone ae A HAPPY DAY i “Corporations are reported to be spending 70 per cent of profits in expan- « sion and machinery—an investment for < future employment and production. How- ever, unless individual companies ‘explain a to-workers how profits are distributed or ~ the use to which these funds are put, work- « ersthink their production efforts serve ¢ mainly to enrich investors.” The above is taken from an article en- . titled “Elements in Inflation” in the Amer- * ican Federationist (publication of the 2 Americation Federation of Labor), Octo- % ber, 1947. It is a happy-day in America when la- «» bor unions tell employers to maintain -- lines of communication with their em- i ployes on the question of profits. es eee ee ns = The developments of the recent weeks = have clarified our National political dif- ference so that it is perfectly clear that «, the two old political parties will fight out - differences in the 1948 Presidential cam- - paign, and that the “third party” balloon < a - ber, 1948. =p PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING What is to be gained by bickering? A: human nature is the same the world over, the answer to that question by a Key Wester or anybody else is the same—noth- ing but hard feelings that may culminate in a fight. Secretary of State Marshall must have entertained a similar thought Friday night when he addressed the Pilgrims Society in London. He asked that a supreme effort be made to silence war propaganda and urged that a “spiritual conquest” be made to restore world peace and understanding. The world is “sick unto death of war,” Marshall asserted. The United States, in homes that were stricken, is still mourn- ing for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who lost their lives in the war. We are “sick” of war, and that “sickness” is intensified in those countries where the loss of lives mounted into the millions and where countless billions of property were destroyed. While we deplore and resent the at- titude that Russia has shown since the end of the war, yet practically all of it is due to the peculiar psychology of the Russians. They are a suspicious race; they think the entire world outside of Russia is conniving against them. Despite Vishinsky’s and Molotov’s va- porings, the Russians do not want war. As an article recently in The Readers’ Digest said, when they are convinced that they can not have their way in setting peace conditions to their liking, they will back down to conform to the standards of the Western Bloc, as they have backed down on a good many other occasions. Finally, Marshall said, “We must re- store the belief that we all can live to- gether in peace and understanding.” Modern miracle: The manner in which Santa Claus gets into some apartments. A film comedian makes about twenty times as much money as the average pro- fessional man; the joke is certainly not on the film comedian. i SCIENTISTS ON SNAKE OIL Snake oil, widely proclaimed as a cure for what ails you, has been tested by two hard-headed scientists of the Department of Chemistry of Florida. Taking note of:the belief on the part of the superstitious that snake oil was at least equal to penicillin in wonder-work- ing capacities, the chemists worked with oil from rattlesnakes, moccasins and boa constrictors. Their report is in the nega- tive. Despite this information and _ other scientific experiments, there will be many people to believe that snake oil is a cure for some of the ills that confront mankind. There will be many honest and sincere individuals to tell of the remark- able “cures” effected by the use of a little snake oil. The explanation of this phenomenon of human testimony is that, in a great many cases, the pains, aches and disorders of in- dividual bodies are largely imaginary. Consequently, they can be banished by the imagination and snake oil is the instru- mentality to set off the imaginary trend of thinking. : The same explanation applies to some of the so-called miracles which continue to delude the gullible and make them think that there is, after all, a magic road to health. The difference between getting a big salary and a little salary is the responsi- bility. FOR CHRISTMAS CHARITY The Christmas season is at hand. Business men in Key West expect the big- gest buying in years. It is well to remember that, despite the good fortune that many enjoy, there are hundreds of boys and girls who will have a cheerless Christmas unless the good peo- ple of this community make it their busi- ness to do something about it. For many years there have been splen- did exhibitions of the Christmas spirit in Key West and we are sure that the same generosity will be evident in 1947. How- ever, let us not take too much for grant- ed. Every citien must assume some of the responsibility unless what is left to others is overlooked by all. When the call comes to you, do not overlook the need for your contribution and by helping financially, participate in this worthy undertaking. Those who do = will be blown to pieces before Novem- | so will, no doubt, enjoy their own Christ- mas season more than ever.
