A. F. planes, un- ler orders not to engage in hostilities, vere shot down by planes of the Israeli. \t the same time, troops from the Pales- ve area invaded the Egyptian frontier. The British have treaties of mutual ietanee with some of the Arab countries, ably Trans-Jordan, which recently..re- vested thal British troops be sent to safe- serd ite border. Much the same obliga- on fests upon the British in connection with the frontiers of Egypt. The fight between the Hebrews, en- aged in setting up the State of Israel, the Arabs, violently opposed to the tabliehment of a Jewish State, has some explained facets. For example, nobody ' vet where the Jews get ‘heir _ planes, munitions and equipment for varfare, although newspaper reports in- wte that some of the military suppuies from areas under Russian control. i also believed that additional supplies shipped from the United disclosed me b © Sheen The United Nations has made several vet upatruce in, the every time an armistice is tile attempts to Nearly sn@ed, one side or the other violates: erms of the arrangement, and for reason, there seems to be a_ reluct- Nations of- on the part of the United o as the blame.

Anxiety or worry, if persisted in, upsets the nervous system and many a time sends people to bed. William Menninger, celebrated au- thority on mentai pathology, said, in an address to 1,000.doctors at the Atlanta Graduate Medical Assembly, that half of the people who complain about stomach troubles and almost as many supposed heart-trouble sufferers are merely tor- mented with anxiety. He added; “Ifyou get scared, your blood® pres- sure goes up and stays up without any ap- parent cause. Anxiety can cause all sorts of more serious physical symptoms with- out any organic reason for disease.” Menninger is an internationally known psychiatrist, though what he said to the physicians has been known, probably in not so great a degree, for several centuries. Half a cegtury ago, we heard the Rev. Charles W. Frazier, the first pastor of the Congregational Church in Key West, re- mark, in the course of a sermon, that if one thinks steadily for half an hour that his little finger hurts him, it will in -reality hurt him. His sermon was on the importance of ‘keeping the mind at ease, and.he contend- ed that the greatest factor in life in attain- ing that end is the adherence to Christian teaching, shunning evil and living an up- right life. Dogma, of this or that church, plays no part in living:a Christian life. The point is that one, who hasa faith on which to lean when faced with untoward conditions, is far better prepared to check or dispel worry or anxiety than the man who knows not where to turn when confronted with trouble. The moral progress of the human race has been largely due to law enforcement, and there would be further moral progress if there were better law enforcement. TO TRIM THE POSTAL DEFICIT Because the Postoffice Department operated at a deficit of $402,000,000, the President and Congress are giving some attention to.the possibility of increasing its income. On January 1st, increases in first, third and fourth-class mail went into effect and increases on second class (newspapers (circulars, books, catalogs, etc). and parcel post rates are scheduled for revision. It is hoped that the new revisions will bring in, an additional $250,000,000, leav- ing a deficit of about $150,000,000 to be borne by the Government as the cost of handling penalty and franked mail and subsidies to air lines for earrying air mail. The President, in a recent message to Con- gress, pointed out that the large postal deficit results from the record volume of business, with most of the mail being carried at rates that do not cover hand- ling costs. Mr. Truman admits that the national ihterests “in disseminating information” justifies preferential treatment for sec- ond-class matter but he does not believe that there exists a sound rates now in effect. While newspapers are among the pub- lications benefitting from alow rate of postage, and perform many functions in the interest of the public, we are inclined to agree with the President. Certainly, publications cannot expect, and should not ask, unreasonable subsidies from the Gov- ernment which is what carrying the mail at a loss means. The main trouble with moralists is that they always want to reform some- body according to their ideals. - LET’S HEAR FROM RUSSIA! From Panuco, Mevico, Roberto Pavon, Mexican archeologist, reports the discov- ery of an ancient outdoor ball court, com- plete with scoreboard, found among the remains of a buried city, which he esti- mates to have existed some 2,000. years ago. is The details of the discovery are not available but we do not suspect that the Mevican archeologist is claiming that the Mexicans invented the great American game of baseball. Meanwhile, ‘we feel sure, some Soviet archeologist will, soon- er or later, assure us that the Russians played baseball long before the Americans knew anything about the game, basis for the low. ce = DNs st 2} > THE KEY WEST CITIZE Df Enterest To You, Dep an : Too Late To.

This is accomplished. through the staging of fairs, festivals and expositions. All of them are interesting, entertaining, and educational and it is a good thing for us fo take stock each year ‘of the resources and apportunities this great state offers. The biggest show-window of all ig the Florida State Fair held in Tampa. This. year it will run from February | through February 12. Each year it seems that the ultimate in fairs had been reached: but, somehow, someway, general: manager P. T., Strieder performs another miracle and produces a better show: than. the year before. He has a simple explanation. He says det agi th el on tata It can’t stand still. It must either go, forward and imy this year to. house what Mr. Stri- eder terms the greatest floral ex-! position ever shown in America. The Electrical Exposition staged under the sponsorship of the Tampa Electric Company will oc- cupy more space and present the latest in electrical appliances and gadgets. A new Livestock Pavili- on will house an outstanding swine show. A new covered walkway will permit visitors to enter the grounds et any en- trance and make a complete cir- cuit without reaching a dead-end or.back tracking as was _neces- sary in the past. These are just a few of the improvements this year. The famed Gasparilla carnival with all its glitter and glamour | will again be a feature and those j in charge of this brilliant affair promise: the greatest parade ever with numerous — entertainment features through the festive peri- od. But the Fair season really starts with the Pinellas County Fair which will be held at Largo a week ahead of the State Fair, opening January 25 and running through the 29th. While limited in scope this show is recoginzed as the state’s outstanding county expoistion.

Then he sighed heavi- ly, and let his chin sag down on his chest. I looked at Bierman, and grinned. He was still looking at me, but not grinning. “Very interesting!” he said dryly. “All those words, and gestures, to tell me he didn’t kill DeFoe or Cardeur.” “No, he didn’t,” -I admitted. “But ‘he tried to kill me!” “Who did?” he bit off. “Who did what?” I leasantly.
