THE ORACLE ' EVERY COMMUNITY NEEDS Any community in the United States, including Key West, can make _ grogress Whenever the majority of its inhabitants are more interested in the general welfare then in envying their neighbors. The population .of any given area, whited:in common advantages, facing the same disadvantages and seeking methods of growth, can assess its prospects upon the basis.of its average inhabitant. It takes more than natural resources t6‘make a prosperous people .This applies to nations, states, counties and municipali- ties: The spirit of the people, within cer- tain physical boundary lines, is more. im- portant to the welfare of the people than the possession of certain assets which are often deemed. advantageous, Ys . » Youcan give a locality an. excellent ctipate, wonderful natural resources and ayi,Tiiustrial set-up that is efficient but; weless you can breathe a common pur- into the life of the area, it will fall hort of becoming highly prosperous. ‘his does not mean that some few éns may not be able to milk the area for their benefit and become rich. It does meanthat the area asa whole and _ its inhabitants cannot become prosperous, Great wealth, side by side witha abject poverty, does not make an ideal com- munity and never will. " COST OF THE STORMS There is no way to accurately deter- mine the cost of such storms as have visit- eda wide section of the West in one, two, three staccato. Many lives have been lost and property damage has been extensive. Tn the cattle and sheep country live- tock losses have been ruinous in many sec- tions. Businesses of all kinds have been at- virtual standstill while the populace con- centrated on the Herculean tasks of keep- ing warm and obtaining food. Rapid City, atown of 25,000, me- tropolis of the South Dakota Black Hills, was Without transportation to and from the outside world by trains and bus for we Utilities, particularly telephone and electric companies, suffered great losin Kansas and Oklahoma. Miles of wires went down under the weight of snow and sleet. In Pittsburg, Kans., 20,000 of the.city’s estimated 50,000 trees were destroyed or damaged beyond salvage.

TRANSCENDS THE MIND es Cs f Fo OS An atomic-powered . airfilane -is the latest project under construction at the nuclear energy plants in Oak Ridge, Ten- nessee. The project is designated NEPA (nuclear energy for the production of air- craft). The day will come when motors or engines will be operated by atomic energy. How long a time will pass before that aim is attained nobody knows, but of one thing we may be certain is that the mird of man, with ity unlimited development, eventual- ly will produce such a motor and other things just’ as, wonderful from ‘the ex- plosion' of the atom. We talk «about atoms with _ little thought of just how small they are. We get an idea of their smallness when we are told that a billion of them are only as large as a speck of dirt. The entire universe, includ- ing man himself, is composed of those tiny atoms, Despite their smallness, the space inthem ismany, many times more ex- pansive, Space is even more astounding than the atom. A physicist at Notre Dame Uni- versity, in discussing space a few months ago, told a Notre Dame football player, who weighed 220 pounds, that if all the space was taken out df him, he would be reduced to a speck that barely could be seen with the naked eye. : That assertion is so marvelous, the mind of the layman finds it hard to be- lieve it, yet it is the truth. Allthe matter in the universe would be only a fair-sized globe were all the space removed from it. All matter is permeated by space to so great a degree, one may say that there is little else in the universe except space. Creation, except for a little knowl- edge here and there, transcends the mind of man. fincctennenetaine ac etnies Religion, in general, includes three classes of people; (1) those who practice it, (2) those who profess it and (3) those who promote it. DOING MORE ABROAD The Export-Import Bank has author- ized a credit of $35,000,000 to the State of Israel to assist in financing the purchasing in this country of equipment, materials and services for the development of agri- cultural products. The new State will fi- nance a project which includes the,estab- lishment and equipment of 8,000 new di- versified farms, the rehabilitation, re- equipment and general improvement of 16,000 farms and 6,000 citrus groves and irrigation works to insure a water supply to 42,000 acres of farm land. Some of the other loans to foreign countries, made by the various agencies promoting international well-being, em- brace similar subjects. In part, one finds the United States Government lending its funds to many foreign nations for the ex- pressed purpose of assisting in the eco- nomic development of the states involved. The loan to Israel is not an exception, ex- cept that it goes to a state which is now in the military phase of establishing itself | as a nation. There are many reasons why the United States should assist the other na- tions in the development of economic op- portunity for their peoples. Whatever they are, however, they certainly exist in regard to the people of the United States. If a na- tion can financethe self-improvement pro- grams of other peoples, it ought to be able, without constitutional quibbling, to fi- nante the similar improvement of its own inhabitants. We imagine that there are states in the Federal Union which would appreciate a loan of $35,000,000, or more, for the pur- pose of establishing and equipping diver- sified farms, the rehabilitation of farm lands in general and irrigation or draining vast areas in order to create productive farm lands.

We do not believe that President Tru- mgn cares yery much about Russia except as it interferes in the affairs of the United States and the’ United Nations. We can’t continue to quarrel with Stalin and his peo- ple very much longer. That is why we are making a wholesale job in cracking down on the Communists here in the United States. We hope for peace. But do not for- get that we are rather safely protected when it comes to a showdown—by the atomic bomb, TODAY'S BIRTHDAY By AP Newsfeatures.
