Many of us when we speak about labor think only of working with our bands. But minds work also. All comforts and conveniences in life are traceabie to working minds. That truth not only pertains to great inven- tions but also to common things that we take for granted. Minds to conceive and hands to execute are Jam City Docks Fo rating KW Better Hopefu iil than among other nationalities, and that is son why our country is the greatest in the But Labor Day was created as a holiday in hon- or of the man who works with his hands, This is the day set aside to applaud him for the role he has played in making our country great, Whether he works hundreds of feet under ground, on the ground, or above the ground, he performs his duties diligent- ly and ‘effectively. ‘ We have known men in Key West who worked with their hands and were so devoted to their work they flouted the idea of retiring and added they would go crazy if they did not have something to do. It was hard for them to conceive how @ loafer was able to while away his time, for umemployed time presses heavily on the mind of an active man. Bless ed is the man who likes his work. Work, whether hands or’ minds, is the world’s greatest “in’ ” Without work, the hu- man race would have since annihilated itself. Work is the factor that it possible for man to live a wellwounded life. , So The Citizen salutes Labor Day as a holiday that reminds us that work is man’s greatest blessing.
