IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN artments. U. S. A. — A STATE OF CONFUSION ‘One of the tragic realizations of this day is that the American people are currently in a state of almost thor- ough confusion, Perhaps at no time in our history has the country been so mixed up in a time of peace. The issue of Communism in government in the last administration and its:efforts to rid the country of Com- munists, the question of loyalty of the high members of government, and many such issues have thoroughly wor- ried millions of voters. Investigations, threats of war, the Communist menace, a mild recessionary business cycle, and an apparent decision in Washington on some major issues, and the even split in Congress between the two parties, has led to a state of almost utter confusion, In the memory of many veteran Washington report- ets the nation has not been so perplexed, so divided, and the average voter so confused, in many a year. Democ- racies in this: day need strong leadership to survive. That is the trouble in France today. It was the trouble in France in 1939, and cost that country its very existence as a free nation. Every American citizen has the duty to keep faith with his country’s system of government, and to vote in elections and support men who represent honorable con- duct and a decent code of ethics. We also have- the re- sponsibility, as free people to maintain as much unity as possible, and to refrain from wild charges, sensational attacks and accusations on loyalty and treason counts that divide and confuse other Americans. We should trust the leaders of each party as being patriotic Americans, even though we attack their mistakes as vigorously as pos- sible. The confusion and uncertainty among Americans to- day is not a healthy sign and we must do all that we can to regain our sanity as a democratic nation. We nominate “Shake, Rattle and Roll” as a hot song hit. \ A celebrity is something people think about an ordin- @ry person. \ The church, despite what some people think, is a place for sinners. ? Senate’ committees are not the best groups we have seen in action, investigative Individuals who set out to reform the human race will be pretty tired before the job is done, One of life’s mysteries is the female battleship who sits down in a restaurant and orders fried chicken, fried Potatoes and fried onions.
