To him, his life is his own business, but he can’t resist the itch to denounce others who do things not to his liking. He’s the man who wants to bess the world. ‘ The Ku Klux Klan is an expansion of that kind of man. Governor Fuller Warren, on Friday night, employed the: strongest language we have ever hetird'a publi¢ ‘of- ficial use in dealing, with! the,Klan. -He: fell into hard-hitting alliterations: in ‘his denunciation. ean “Hooded hoodlums’},;,and, “covered cowards’are two. of the terms he used. He based his opinion on the‘very founda- tion of our democracy—the right of a man to lead his own life so long as'he doés not interfere with anybody else, and, in the event he does, to be dealt with according to law and not by any clique or organiza- tion, The governor’s stinging rebuke makes good reading, well worth while repeating and remembered too by any group of men that usurps constitututed authority. Among the things he said was: “The hooded hoodlums and jerks who paraded the streets of Tallahassee made a disgusting and alarming spectacle. These covered cowards who call themselves Klansmen. quite obviously have set aut to terrorize minority groups in Florida as they have in a nearby state.” (That state, “quite obviously,” is Georgia, of which “Hummon” Taliaadge is governor). Governor Warren added that no Florida law now prevents “such a “mob of potential murderers from parading in Florida. But I plan to ask the 1949 legisla- ture to outlaw the Klan and other such terrorist organizations. Such un-American mobs will not be allowed to terrorize minority groups in this state.” Judging other people often prevents us from appraising ourselves, FOOD AND YOUR BODY-MACHINE It is a good idea, once ina while to emphasize the machine-like qualities of the human body. We should not forget that food is the fuel that operates the physical engine upon which life itself depends. Eating is not only a prime function of existence»but it is also one of+ the most important. Every individual, and particu- larly our-young people, should be thor- oughly informed as to the principles of diet and the peculiar values of various foods, : Inasmuch as the meals of the average American family are under the control of the wife and mother, it is the duty | of these home-makers to study and under- stand the proper preparation of food, its specific properties and the value and necessity of variety in the daily diet. We are not suggesting that the indi- vidual become a food fanatic or that our readers take up any of the various fads that afflict the public. We do advise every woman, who is supervising the feeding of human beings, to study food, diets, calor- ies, vitamins and the other data now available inregard to foods. The more widespread such information becomes, the better will be health and bodily growth of the people in Key: West. There are millions of people in the United States who pay more attention to the feeding of their poultry and- livestock than they do to the food that their chil- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Billy, will said, “I would like a please?” “Well, I can! girl?” ‘Well, rather. iy * : A drunk imte a seafood ¢afe! and said'he would like to, some; oysters.’ “Alb right,” ys, the waitress, “de you, want: hen ray fitch stewed Bet-, r make the aw, asd am,stew- rfyseie ‘after being Served, e Started -te eat them-and’ fave up in disgust aud agiled the irl. se sw “Ane you sure them oysters good?” “Whi ain- ty they: are good."

Betty could see none of the publicized sand dunes, nor any of the rocks made famous in song and story. But she did catch occasional glimpses of an angry, restless sea and was mo- mentarily impressed. This, she assumed, must be “the stern and rugged rock-bound coast” on which the forefathers landed. And it would be raining. The rain, which had been threatening all day, was now coming down in businesslike sheets. The wind too had increased in fury. It seemed bent upon tossing the train off the track, and thus destroying the last vestige of human life in this formidable world. It was almost as if the rain and the wind and the sea had banded together to provide a fittingly desolate end to a desolate journey. Although she felt the sting of tears in her eyes, Betty pulled herself together and managed to smile. In a few minutes she would be getting off the train, Uncle Dave—and perhaps Aunt Minniebelle and little Gertrude— would be meeting her. They must never, never know how desolate she felt. “And you shouldn’t feel deso- late,” she admonished herself. “You just don’t know how lucky you are. It'll be wonderful living in a real house instead of a tiny apartment. It'll be fun havin, family around you; and a kid cousin to keep ings exciting and just a little bit goofy.” (To be continued) torney general. 1 Today is the last day to buy| current automobile license tags | without penalty, County Tax) Collector Frank H.
