WESTERS "Key Westers kept their balance pretty well when the country was thrown into hysteria un General MacArthur’s arrival from Tokyo. Too many people let their emotions think for them. Probably une in a thousand is not carried away by an emotional tide. ~**'* Barkers over the radio said that MacArthur was giv- en the greatest ovation ever accorded to an American, and nine-tenths of the people believed it. But some knew otherwise. They recalled the ovation that was given Ad- miral George Dewey when he returned ‘tothe United States after having destroyed a Spanish squadron in Ma- nila Bay on May 1, ais ~oarmeaikthes of triu Dewey befittingly. Many apectators in ne parades that were given in his honor actually wentiwild, with se¥eral killed and many hundreds injured. A fund: was collétted and used to buy him a mansion in Washington ; thou: ands of children throughout the country were-named afterthim. We haye'some residents in Key West whose given mame is Dewey. Whenever'you run across oné @f them, it will be an easy matter to: determine his age “by. ene out® he was born in May of 1898. “Dewey did it and you can do it too™ was a saying that ran from lip to lip throughout the country. Its vogue was almost as general as the pre-war cry had been, “Re member the Maine.” Aind what happened to Dewey before he died? The public that had acclaimed him turned against him, so that the report of his death did not cause a flurry among Amer- icans. i Public sentiment is mercurial. That fact has been pointed out by many a writer,.but-none other more point- edly than Anne Manning in her story, “The Household of Sir Thomas More.” She said: : “Their. (the publie’s) favorite tod l may, for what = they care,go hang him if tomorry fow ipMis surcingle. Thus it must be while the world lasts. r And so it will be with Gener: éady the public is regaining its sense | It was with a feeling” of *pfi that The Citizen ni éted that comparatively, few: KeyoWesters were caught ingthe emétional wave that swept the country when MacArthur returned from Tokyo. 4 3 -: By rs separemescct win hci ciaaistadbrc trhchdp tides dois ee B iy mecAphur. alr Rrarnaeet? NEW FEDERAL UNION About twelve years ago, an American newspaper man, Clarence K. Streitt, wrote a book, entitled, “Union Now ” In it, he urged the democracies of the world to fol- é example of the Thirteen Colonies of this country in ree ming a federal union. The Streitt plan was an invitation to the democracies of the’ world to adopt the American ideal of government. Showld the democracies do this, they would give universal approval to the American system of government and to American political economy. The essential point for Americans to remember, in conneetion With the idea of such a union, is that it differs from thie League of Nations and the United Nations, in which éach nation has one vote, and sets up a union. of free pedples, with each demderacy” Having representation in proportion to population. The best argument for a general” union OP ail demo- cratic peoples is the success of the: Government of the United. States. The federal union states and their people would secure the same benefits, politically and economic- ally, that accrued to the colonies and the people of this country. The argument is as forceful in times of war, or threatened war, as in times of peace. fehhiheey ¢ +4 Ee rep agen et shi at Somebody ought to compel every public speaker to = listen to his own remarks. aes —_ Businesses, unlike weeds, do not just grow: behind every success is energy and brains. - Editor Business Manage: Associated Press—The Associated Press is exclusively ‘lentitied to’ use for reprédtction’ of-all news. dispatches credited’ to: it) AND HOW DID YOU GET THE GOOD CONDUCT RIBBON, CORPORAL BUCKLEY?” “This Rock Of Ours’ By BILL GIBB Incidentally, I owe an apology} to the public, to Mr. and Mrs. Myrtland Cates, Jr., and to Mary Roberts, our society editor. Mary is doing a finé job on that page of hers but I messed her up on the Mallory/Cates wedding story. A few lines were accidentally de- leted by the linotype operator and in ‘proof-reading, I failed to catch the omission. Instead of the paragraph where “The maid of honor wore a pink carnation corsage . .:.,” it should have read: “The maid of honor wore a pink organza gown with tiara type headpiece: of flowers. She carried a blue iris. “The bride's mother was dress- ed in lavender crepe with green accessories With a pale pink car: nation corsage.” Hope the. boss doesn’t know about this mistake or I'll be out trying to gét a job wrecking the Army Barracks instead of Mary, THE KEY WHST CITIZEN Today’s MONDAY, MAY 14, 1951. — eee ene | Today In History | Today’s: Horoscope, Di: J.

Waterway to Key West is an ab-| solute must project for our future | growth and, welfare. | The present channel from Bahia/ Honda on down is navigable for! small craft but it takes an expert dilot and daylight hours to make the trip. Banks of the channel have} filled in with mud, markers are i down, and the twists and turns are so sharp that an average size; cruiser must sometimes maneuver | backwards and forwards to make a turn. As was so ably pointed out in| a recent editorial of The Citizen, the Inland Waterway is nec: | for civilian defense as well as fort oleasure craft. It’s a mystery why she federal government has not} nade an appropriation for com- aletion of the project. Our local} Navy installations, as well as our} merchants, use barges to bring in supplies. If we could figure out who to contact, we might bring some pressure to bear on this point. Gambling There is no group of men that I sincerely respect more than the ministers of our city. Therefore, when I disagree with them, it’s done in an amicable manner and with the object in view of throw- ing more light on the disputed subject. With regard to gambling, it seems to me that the ministers should first tend to their own vongregations—sort of in line with that old saying “Charity begins at home,” or something like that A ministér should be able to get up in his pulpit and sa) | ‘Now look, you bunch of knuckle- xeads—there’s: not going to be any more gambling. We're going to clean up this church before we} urn our attention to folks out- side.” Otherwise, a question from Rob-, art Browning's sonnet “Why I Am A Liberal” can easily be! asked of the church: .
