MONOGRAPH Dear Folks: So far we have not seen the re- “publication of the famous letter, “Yes, Virginia, ...” THE ORACLE “|. CANNOT COMPLAIN” When Maurice Chevalier, the French actor, recently returned to California, af- ted an absence of ‘twelve years, he was promptly dunned for $20,918, unpaid State income+tax for the year 1935., + 4 ——— FEELING OF KINDNESS Christmas in Key West is in the air. It is evident in all parts of the city, though” its manifestation in the stores on Duval street and elsewhere in Key West is more pronounced than in the residential areas. What does the spirit of Christmas im- ply? The Citizen believes that implification is that Christian teaching is the most pow- erful force for good in all the world. Whatever your belief is about the Christian or any other religion is not the condition under consideration. Religion and teaching must not be confounded. Even though you do not believe in Chris- tianity, yet, if you are conscientious, you must admit that the Christian moral code is impeccable. If you do as Christianity teaches you, you must, perforce, be a good man or a good woman. Reason for that is not far to seek. Christian teaching shuns evil and stresses good. Any man who lives up to the teach- ing of his church, leads an upright life, for he can not find, anywhere in that teaching, anything that countenances his doing evil. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of kind- ness. We know of many Key Westers who are not adherents of any church, yet the Christmas spirit has a firm hold on their feelings. Those Key Westers join in the cheer and goodwill that is general during that period when the Christmas spirit is abroad in the land. All of us, with rare exceptions, sense and cherish the Christmas spirit, which is another form of a féeling of kindness to- ward our fellowmen. Man blushes less for his crimes than for his frailties and failures. Nearly anywhere in the United States you will find the “best people” and the “best climate.’’ Key West is not an ex- ception. A FUNDAMENTAL Before the Bikini Island atom bomb experiment was made, the natives were uprooted and removed to Bongerik Atoll, in the Marshalls, King Judah—reluctant- ly or otherwise—agreed to the trek, select- ed the new home himself and the United States built houses, schools and other fa- cilities, The emigrants were happy at,irst. The‘singing Frenchman explained that | Then it developed the island was not so ‘he returned to France that year and didn’t productive as was thought and a disas- wealize he owed a tax.

Since then, the United States has been feeding them, too. The government has been trying to French actor can well be the remark of | find a new home for King Judah and his Americans who are called upon to pay heavy income taxes. After all, cannot we subjects. An investigation was made to see if Bikini is habitable, as it was thought ‘all admit: “I cannot complain. The United | the natives would prefer to return to their States has been good to me.” The idea of paying heavy taxes is not “one to increase merriment, but it is just was well for us to understand that good government, including domestic peace and external security, has its price. We receive very definite benefits from our ‘system of government and_ the propor- tionate benefit received varies very often with the incomes received by various citi- Zens, : Despite the chronic complaint against paying taxes, the average citizen gets ‘about a8 much for his tax receipts as for vany money he spends. While everyone is .dnterested in eliminating graft and waste, ‘where these occur, we should not over- ancestral atoll. It was discovered that, although the island itself is not radioactive, radioactiv- ity at the bottom of the lagoon and in the fish themselves made Bikini unsafe for habitation. Now another island—Ujelang—is be- ing readied to receive the natives. It has large food resources and is suitable in every way. The young men of the tribe want to go there, but the oldsters do not. Their thoughts are still on Bikini. “The old order changeth, yielding place to the new.” Young people are eager to embrace the new; old people are not. A tiny segment of South Seas aborigines is the latest to supply proof of this funda- look that, in paying taxes, both state and | mental quality of human nature. ;federal, we contribute our share to many enterprises that contribute to the welfare of less fortunate citizens. QUICK CHANGE In Washington, when the Japanese at- tacked the United States, several souvenir shops took immediate steps to placard the front of their stores with signs, read- sing, “Chinese owned.” There were some smiles in the Capital over the alacrity with which the Chinese publicized their ownership of Japanese variety stores. Under the circumstances, it was what might be expected, regardless ef factual ownership, but the artful device amused American owners. Nobody appreciates fire insurance more than the man whose house is burn- ing down. CHRISTMAS SUGGESTION Here’s a last-minute Christmas sugges- tion which might mean much to the reci- pient and, indirectly, as much to the giver: The idea is to give Series E, Govern- ment Savings Bonds. The 59-c-dollars put into these bonds and held until maturity will earn 2.9 per cent interest, and, through the fluctuation of the dollar, might earn an extra two or three per cent, .

Food Tip: Put more vegetables into each meal, says the U. S. Chil- dren's Bureau. Most children don’t get enough green and yellow vege- tables. Now there is added reason for including them, for not only are they health-builders but they make savings possible on other foods that are urgently needed abroad. Serve sweet potatoes, winter yellow squash, and raw or cooked carrots, All three foods are comparatively good buys just now and what's more, children like them, Way To Do It JERSEY CITY. — When the head of four-month-old Rosanne Annilo became wedged between the side bars crib, the frightened called for help from the Union City Fire Emergency Squad.
