KEY WESTERS MAY BE SURE ABOUT ONE THING IN THE FUTURE “Unless there is an economic recession,” reads a story in The Citizen, “Umstead is expected to have a smooth go of it as governor.” He is the governor-elect of North Carolina, and what is said of him may be said also of Dan McCarty as gov- ernor of Florida and Eisenhower as President of the United States. The Citizen is not standing on the sideline throwing bucket after bucketful of water on workers of all kinds in advising Key Westers to live well, but not extravagant- ly, and to make it 1 point to save something out of every pay envelope, or in any other way earnings come to them. Don’t be lulled into a dream that this surge of pros- perity is going to last forever. The Citizen, several years ago, urged and urged its readers to buy United States bonds, and some of the readers who purchased bonds ex- pressed their thanks to The Citizen for the advice, and a few of those who did not buy were remorseful that they did not take The Citizen’s advice. Readers are aware of what the Bible says about “in times of plenty.” That is the time to save, and it is as sound advice today as it was when the Bible was first is- sued. The old saying that you can’t be sure of anything in the future has several exceptions, and one of them is you may’ be sure that you will never have cause to be re- gretful if you insist and persist in saving all you can now, without in any way interfering with your enjoyment of the necessities of life. The trouble with most of us is that, when our pocket- books are bulging, we consider many things as necessities that are luxuries, and also forget that rich bit of advice that buying anything when it is not needed is dear, how- ever low the price may be. “Itching” money has caused many of us to be in the lurch when “easy” money was no longer available. You may be sure that the knowing Key Wester, who is keep- ing abreast of the times, will resist the itching of his money to spend it whenever he feels the spending is un- warranted. Since Eisenhower was elected, there has been much comment in the press and over the radio about the Possi- bility of his coming face to face with a recession or even a depression before his term of office expires. Nobody knows what the immediate future will bring forth, but however glowing his opinion about the future may be, he| is a wise man if he buttresses his resources now. The “rainy day" may be long in coming, but the best way to guard against it is to be prepared for it if it comes at an early date. Money in the bank or money in U. S.} bonds or other sound securities is the only way to be sure Mondey, December 1, 1952 Col. Pen Edgar says that what “This Rock” needs is more humor. It just goes to show you that dif- ferent people have different ideas when it comes to classifying what is funny. For my part, I can’t think of anything more comical than some of our local customs, institutions, and ways-of-life. The holes in our streets, for instance. . . Many of you have paid good money to go to a movie anc watch Laurel and Hardy bounce along in an old tin lizzie over roads that weren't near as full of chunck holes as our streets. It is funny on the screen. Why isn't it funny when you can look down the street and see the same thing in real life? As fcr humorous situations, you’d probably split your sides laughing if sore comic book depicted a man on an island surrounded by water and yet unable to find a place deep enough to get a decent swim. Hasn't ‘This Rock” written about an identical situation here in Key West? Col. Edgar, with all due respect, I think your sense of humor is the one that needs to be improved. | Remember how many times |we've written about gambling? | That is a nasty, old word and | shouldn't be used in Monroe Coun- | ty because we've been assured that \there were absolutely no games of chance within our midst. Still and all, I continue to see money exchanged for little slips of paper. H | It used to be that these slips of] |Paper could be resold in certain jinstances for as much as 9 to 1. The government passed a law | known as ‘‘a gambling stamp tax” | and nowadays -- if you possess the Tight slip of paper you can | only swap it for 70 times its ori- ginal purchase price Don't get me wrong, Col. Edgar. I have no especial fight against | People who like to buy little slips | of paper. As a matter of fact, | I've bought a few myself just to |lime sense of the ridiculous. THIS ROCK OF OURS By BILL GIBB sold them to me never would buy them back, even at half the price that I paid for them — much less 70 or 8 times their original cost. Oh, well, everyone to his hobby. There are some good folks who like to collect string, some buy old bottles, tin foil, or what have yuu. And many, many Key Westers like to collect those previously mentioned little slips of paper. I mention it because you say I never write about the funny side of life and collecting little slips of paper is most assuredly comi- cal. Especially when you have to pay from Sc to $10 for them. Oh yes, Col. Edgar, I forgot to mention one especially funny thing that I'm always writing about -- spiritual values. God or the Devil must have rob- bed you of your funny bone if you can't read my articles on spiritual- ity and then look around at some of our pious Christians and Jews without laughing. They go to church on Sunday and spend the rest of the week talking maliciously about their neighbor, trying to beat their best friend out of a few hard-earn- ed dollars, or perhaps casting cove- tous eyes at am acquaintance’s| wife. When you ask me why I bother to write on such subjects in view of the above facts, I can only twist Frank Hughes’ words and answer: “Unless these people gain spirituality they are going ti Hell and as long as 1 will have to spend eternity there -- and don’t like crowds -- I want to keep the Place as free of that type of per- son as possible.” And so we come to the end of today’s column, Col. Pen Edgar. I sincerely hope that I've shown you in a limited way that it is actually you yourself, not ‘This Rock" that is lacking in a sub- Not only are The Rock's subjects funny, but the manner and English | in which they are written is suffi-| cient to create a perpetual laugh- | Dog Owner Finds Pup-Care ! Exacting But Rewarding BETTY McNAIR ADJUSTS LIFE TO FIT SCHEDULE OF SHETLAND PUPS Having four Shetland Sheepdog puppies is as much work for owner Mrs. Betty McNair, 181-1 Poin- ciana, as having four children. The four miniature collies of | Bess, Betty’s pet pure bred, were, born oa Election Day. “I’m not naming them after Politicans, though. Everyone asks me that,” the attractive blonde owner said. The young pups wake Mrs. Mc Nair up at 11 p. m. and 4 a. m. by their puppy cries when they dream. Mama Bess, a three old pedigree Shetland Sheepdog, jumps over Betty w dive into the play pen which is the cradle of the pups. Bess is only a nickname for the aristocratic miniature collie. Her registered name is “‘Longleigh’s Golden Treasure.” | Like some high-bred humans, | she was difficult to breed. Betty | spent a total of $100 taking her to Miami, boarding her while she mated and paying stud fees. On the third try at the Miami kennel, it took, and Bess became preg-! nant. During her 62 day pregnancy, Betty fed her special vitamins pre scribed by a physician for preg- nant women. Even then maternity has cost Bess some of her golden brown hair, and her sleek figure. “That's only temporary, the doc- | tor assures me and Bess will grow | back her full coat soon,” Betty | said. Bess had her pups right in the | living room of the McNair Poin. | ciana apartment. Since then she has proved < good mother nursing the little pups whenever they seem hungry and even when they don’t) need food. | Will Resume Teaching On Navy Release Louis Sayles Cohen, BT-Ic, NR, was transferred from the USS Bushnell to the Naval Base Wed- nesday. On December 4, he will receive his navy discharge and re- turn to the career of teaching which was cut short by his recall to duty. He will be missed by the men aboard the Bushnell where he was Education Coordinator, al- though his rating was not changed when he was called back in the Naval Reserve. Cohen is actually a professor of maghematics, having bee:. graduat- ed trem USLA in January 1950} with a B.S. degree.
