GIVE A THOUGHT, NOW AND THEN, TO -LIFE AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU If we listen to.a little sound. preaching now and then and adhere to what is told us, it will do us good. It E kes us reflect about the futility and foolishness of he way many of us treat our fellowmen. This editorial is neither morbid nor mawkish, be- ‘cause the idea for it stemmed from three deaths that "were noted, indirectly, in The Citizen. Its objective is o try to show how much better it would be for all of us ‘We gave more thought to the brotherhood of man. The Citizen ran three succeeding paragraphs bout Governor Dave Sholtz, Father A. L. Maureau and State Senator Arthur Gomez. They were with us at the time specified in the paragraph, and now they are on the Great Adventure. Two of them, Sholtz and Gomez, had similar ex- periences—they had felt the fire. engendered by political fights, The third, Father. Maureau, was a © mild-mannered man, who liked everybody he knew and ‘was liked by everybody who knew him. But they are gone now, as we too must go. Billions of others have gone too, and were they here they would -téll you that the best way to live is to be as faithful to your fellowmen as you are to yourself. That reminds us of the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” «It is hard to do that because we are so much con- " eerned with self, But many people adhere to the Golden Rule, andtheir adherence sweetens life for them. It _ makes life sweet because their consciences are clear. - You.can’t have a clear conscience if you know you have Wwronged your fellowmen, by word the ss Conseience is so ee can’t help but think -it-is of divine inception. You can fool people, but you can’t fool your conscience. It tells you when you are right, and it tells you when you are wrong. It is useless to argue with it. You may try to talk yourself out of something wrong you have done, but even: while you talk your conscience pricks you: You can’t get away from it. If you liye in accord with it, you may be sure you live in accord with your fellows. It is well for us to take a “breather” from business and socia! activities occasionally to commune with our- selves, and be frank in communing to determine if the life we are living fulfills the requirements of the life we ould live. i The late L. P. Artman, for many years, had a card on his desk with only one word on it—“THINK!” The aim of this homily is solely to make you think, once in awhile, about the most important thing in life to you— yourself. : ECE Ss i One of the dangers of looking ahead is that we see things that never happen. 4 AIF] TRECIAIRIS| GIE JE RB AIL IEE be <TAIN/ay T(E |AIM} EIXIAISIPIEIRIAITIE! 7 (OUR Eas | RIE.

Editor, The Citizen: The decision made some time ago by Chief of Police B.; Perez, to make the Key West Pelicemen be polité on their jobs was pleasing for all to hear. Some- thing must have gone wrong with this project in re- cent weeks. Overheard conversations and seen actions have shown that our policemen have been anything but polite. The minute they stop a pedestrian or motorist their hostile and belligerent attitude immediately puts that person on the defensive. Actually it is so unneces- sary because people would have a lot more respect for | them if they were nice. ©-A leading citizen recently’ calléd our police force @ gestapo. Must they be? Fortunately this attitude seems to be among the young policemen. The oldsters on the force have shown they can be gentlemen unless provoked into being otherwise. Please Mr. Perez, lets begin the politeness campaign again. There must be a lot-of Key Westers who have had unhappy and unnecessary experiences with these new policemen, + : Very Truly yours, D. ELE. eel ——— ADVOCATES MORALITY Editor, The Citizen: Why are people so concerned about the fluorida- tion of the water and about the “Christian” thing to do about dogs, when they should be worrying over the “Christian” thing to do about the morals of their songs and daughters? : To me, a father, it is a disgusting sight to see young women with brief shorts and often barely enough to cover their bosoms walking the streets of our city or sit-| ting on porches displaying their half-elad bodies to the public. Is it arly wonder young men go berserk? No wonder there are unwed mothers and women who de- stroy their infants—such as the horrible Salt Pond case, A “Christian” father would turn to the scriptures and learn God’s word concerning the bringing up of a child, also to what is said about the “putting on of apparel.” “Bring up a child in the way he should go and he will not depart from it when he is old,” says the Bible. There is something lacking in their up-bringing if our married daughters and sons dress lewdly or become ‘delinquents. ‘ Think this over: Just what is a Christian and ean you and I be classed as such? ‘ A FATHER SHORE PATROL DEFENSE Editor, The Citizen: In answer to the lady who wrote an article con- cerning the Navy Shore Patrol and their wrong-doings: ...

In his book, he says that night charges should be $7.50 for the first mile and $1.20 for each additional mile, However, he said that the distance to the wreck should not cost anything. ‘The $7.50 for the first mile should reimburse the wrecker for getting to the wreck and up to fifteen minutes work getting the wrecked car on the road and ready to be towed.

Chance To Rap Power Project By A. P. Bryan WASHINGTON — Democratic National Chairman Stephen A. Mit+ chell, who calls the Plan “a raw deal,” will have the chance . 2 to tell Congress what he is wrong with the administration's controversial contract for private Power in the Tennessee Valley area, Rep, W. Sterling Cole (R-NY), chairman of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, wired Mitchell Tuesday an invitation to testify on “any evidence of mal- feasance or impropriety.” Mitchell was being asked to ap Pear, Cole told the Democratie chairman, “in view of your repeat- ed intemperate charges against hg age Eisenhower in this mat- ler.” Mitchell promptly replied he was “glad” to accept the invita- tion and added: “T am troubled however by your telegram which characterizes my questions as ‘intemperate charges.’ This would seem to indicate that in advance of a hearing you have prejudged this case in such a way as to raise doubts over your ability to conduct an impartial hearing.” Mitchell’s appearance before the committee seemed certain to mark va fresh round in the swirling dis- pute over President Eisenhower's order directing the AEC to con- tract with a private utility com- bine for power to be delivered over Tennessee Valley Authority lines to the Memphis, Tenn., area. TVA is to deliver power in turn to the AEC plant at Paducah, Ky. The 107-million-dollar contract, which must still get the commite tee’s okay, was a major issue dure ing the Senate’s marathon debate over new atomic energy legisia- tion. Congress wound up a provision which would cally allow the contract. Mitchell took up the issue in Chicago last week, intimating among other things that Eisenhow- er’s friendship with golfer Bobby Jones influenced the award to Power combine, known as Dixon-Yates group after its top Eisenhower said he rejected in- nuendoes that friendship was a factor, and Mitchell said he ac- cepted Jones’ statement that he |did not discuss the matter with the President. However, the Democratic chair- man repeated his questions about the contract, saying it was to “cost the publie millions dollars,” Ensign Reports For SurAsDevDet Sonar Service Ensig, *harles E.
