Just now,-how; very in-a period as critical as any that the Republic has faced," we might point out that the nation needs most the loyaf’support of patriot- i¢ men and women and the confidence’ of those’ who be- lieve in the democratic way of life. There is no substitute for loyalty. Flag-waving, public demonstrations and. community-wide “expressions of soli- darity do not replace the faithful individual, upon whom successful government depends. As.a ‘eitizén, it 18 essential for you to make your contribution tothe! : eared States of America, We do not know, and’ we would hesitate to suggest, what any man, woman or child do in the ‘present emergen- cy. We do not have the intelligence to outline a program for all to follow. We would modestly recommend, however, that loyal Americans consider their present condition and the plight of their country and theri make. some. positive contribution to the common good. Do not mislead yourself. You cannot hake a positive contribution tothe eause of civilization in the face of great danger without some personal sacrifice, If-you /have any plan in mind which enables you to escape the pressure of world conditions, you can put it aside: because it will not work. You cannot contribute at a profit. A TAX ON AUTO ACCIDENTS Something new in the form of taxation has: been sug- gested by Raymond EB. Jensen, vice-chairman. of Wiscon- sin’s highway commission, who suggests. thaf each auto- mobile driver be taxed for accidents in proportion to the blame attached to the driver =>” This is a tax that everybody should be glad to see ap- plied. If those who are careless-drivers are taxed for acci- dents, they would either learn to drive carefully or find driving an automobile an expensive-undertaking. What is more, says Mr. Jensen, “the State would give every aid and encouragement and instruction for dodging the tax.” Not all the vested interests in this country are cor- porations, Never lie about your competitor—the only net result is that everybody. recognizes you asa lidter *e as aye If we must have economy we can always save money on defense items and let the communists ‘take over the country. If somebody doesn’t do something to ease the pres- re of lobbyists on Congressmen, the rest of the nation, including consumers, will have to become lobbyists. ee eras | THIS | ROCK GIBB ~ OURS EDISON KNOWLES I've been unable to locate you | % here in town. Will you please contact me or have your wife! do so? | The Johns Hopkins Hospital tas furnished a rather com- plete report with regard to your case. It is of a confidential na- ture but you yourself, have been told all the details. Now that we know where to make the money »ayable, and understand the situ- ation, I think the people of Key West will back you to the limit if you still want the operation. LET’S KEEP OUR OWN KEY WEST The Key West Citizen’s mail list pretty. well covers the Uni- ted States. It goes to many lead- ing news services, publicity bur- eaus, business organizations, Chambers of Commerce, etc. None of these outfits would bother to spend twelve dollars per year if they weren’t going to read the paper. And because the paper IS read, it always hurts me to “wash our dirty linen” publicly. But how else can local situations be improved? Garrison Bight for instance. It’s a shame and a disgrace to the people of Key West that they are allowing private interests to take over all available beach spate. Most of us have enter- tained dreams of someday turn- ing the Bight into a_ beautiful yacht basin. The beach itself, though nothing * more than a Tud-bank, has always been crowded with sail boats, row boats, dingies, cruisers. Its pic- turesque character has made it a mecca for the talented artists in our midst. Now—all of this is to be lost. Even the ends of the streets have been taken over by private par- ties! How long fthust' we stand for the complete disregard of the public's right to enjoy the natur- al beauty of what is truly Key West? BUILDING INSPECTION One of the primary responsi- bilities of most municipal fire departments is Building Inspec- tion. Cities are divided into zones,! and these zones are visited reg- ularly by firefighters who hunt out unsafe buildings, inspect for | accumulated debris, and try to discover any other danger to: human life and property. THERE ARE NO IF’S, AND'S, OR BUT’S, WITH THESE FIRE- MEN-INSPECTORS. They know that their own life is at stake every time they roll( out of the station. When they en- ter a smoke-filled building, they can do so with a lot more confi- dence if a recent inpsection has shown the roof, ceiling, and floor- ing are secure. Or that a barrel of gasoline, for instance, isn't hid- den in some corner ready to let| go in their face. about the time they enter the room. The City Commission, the City Manager, and Fire Chief Leroy Torres would do well to institute a policy of strict inspections im- sea here in Key West. out properly; our i ates wouki roe’ aid you'd (sin your. newspaper mire building was a total a Joss.” Service On Demand NEW YORK.—().— The Hotel Edison here reports that it re- ceived a package recently from a laundry in Poughkeepsie.

On the other hand, you might reconsider the supposed Byitish glowness, which is actually thoroughness. Each has something to offer. All we need for harmony is a more profound study of each country’s methods, customs, habits and national psychology,” Barlow; said. He is a firm belivver in the ex- change of visits between Ameri- cans and British people. In this way relationship understanding is first-hand, not colored by hear- say prejudice. He suggested that an exchange of stories through newspapers and nfigazines, es- pecially articles like the recent ones on the Festival of Britian now being held, would promote further good will, since hosts of of Gulf Oil, Pittsburgh, born in Northwood, Iowa, 51 years ago.
