La vida, desgraciadamente para S$ mortales, tiene un invierno arido, frio, de escalofriante frial- dad, que pone en el espiritu triste- zas sepulcrales. Cuando el hombre pasa ya la mitad de la existencia, es cuando comienza a sentir alla en lo profundo de su espiritu, la proximidad del sepulcro frio y triste. Entonces sufre, pensando en lo que sera para él la eterna separacién de todos los seres que le son queridos. Sufre, al estar convencido de que solo unos meses acaso, le separaran de todo a- quello que es grato para su espiritu. Que han de quedarse huérfanos los que de su vida depen- dieron y solo el sepulcro, que es sombra y tristeza, tendra eterna- mente... Si el hombre, cuando esta en plena juventud, pensara en. los dias sombrios del invierno de la existencia. Si pensara en que en el sepulcro olvidado, han de quedar sus restos mortales por toda una eternidad. Si estuviera convencido de que existe una vida ultrate- Trena, que pudiera ofrecerle nuevas sensaciones. Pero . , . El hombre, por mucha fé que tenga en el “més alla’, siempre una pequefia duda le roe implacable el cerebro y lo hace no estar muy satisfecho con las bonanzas que las religiones les ofrecer tras la oscura cortina de la muerte , . . Mientras, la vida va pasando implacable y la proximidad a la estacién final va grabando en el corazén del ser humano, a manera de,una ribrica de‘ dolor, que habla muy elocuente- mente a su oido, como advirtién- dole que debe de aprovechar la pequefia jornada que ya le va quedando, para siquiera hacerse digno, del recuerdo y la veneracién de. los que van a quedar detras, cuando caiga sobre su sepulcro la Ultima paletada de tierra con que la piedad de los vivos nos abona ... Triste designio del hombre, que vaga por el piélago de la exis- fencia, sin saber jam4s donde esta su final, ni cémo ha de. ver. Y un dia, cuando mas dichoso y feliz se siente, cuando piensa que Ilegé para él la hora tantas veces afiorada, de hallar la suprema ventura, un colapso imprudente, en forma de agudo sufrimiento, rapido, mortal, le arrebata de la vida, dejado a los que le rodean sumidos en la angustia de la eterna despedida de aquel a quien tanto amaron ... Si_los hombres cuando van a realizar una mala accién, Perisaran que el final siempre resulta tragico, por lo inapelable. Si cuando van a realizar un acto reprobable, se detuvieran a consi- pderar que la vida es demasiado breve, demasiado corta, para le- varlh cargada de remordimientos y. de malos pensamientos, acaso si. muchos. de los delincuentes dejaran de serlo, temerosos de ese supremo castigo de que nos hal todas lags raliglones” — Por eso, cuando hablamos del otofio, de esa etapa que es la antesala del invierno, siempre Pensamos en la necesidad de ser buenos, de evitar las enemistades, de sabernos respetados por todos los que nos tratan. Es ser dos veces viejo, saberse cargado, de afos y con la malquerencia de los amigos. Hay que ser tolerante, que sentir el.deseo de disculparlo todo, cuando, desde luego, no es cosa que manche y denigre a quien la realiza, Hay que usar en el otofio de la vida, una suprema piedad Para juzgar a los que en una hora infeliz, cometen reprobables actos, que muchas veces les separan Prematuramente del calor del ho- gar y la familia, y terminan sus dias entre las sombrias rejas de un presidio, 0 de un Hospital de Caridad.

MIAMI Convenient Connection te the North and West Thursday, October 21, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 5 Integration Clouds Picture In Delaware Election But Is Not Seen As Maj By RELMAN MORIN WILMINGTON, Del. «—Dela- ware’s election picture is clouded by the controversy over school in- tegration through this question is not an open issue between the two major parties. “It’s the only thing people are’ talking about,” one of the candi- dates said. Politicians said the fight over public school segregation of Negro and white pupils has practically blotted out all the usual acres of debate between Republicans and Democrats. By agreement, oppos- ing candidates don’t discuss it in their campaigning. Most observers feel the situation probaly is hurting the Republi- cans, solely because the state has a GOP administration. “‘If we were in office now,” a Democrat said, “it would be bouncing on us.” A white high school in Milford is the storm center, In conformity with a U.S. Supreme Court ruling earlier this year, integration began there Sept. 7 with the admission of 10 Negro students. But pressures began mounting, a. new school board was installed and the 10 were dropped from the rolls. ‘ Chancery court ruled Oct. 14 that the Negroes have ‘‘a clear right” to be reinstated. The Milford School Board has appealed this ruling to the Delaware Supreme Court, which set a hearing for to- morrow. All of which is outside the areas where the two parties are contend- ing for a seat in the U.S. Senate and one in ths House of Repre- sentatives. The candidates: For the Senate—Sen. J. Allen Frear, Democrat, and Rep. Her- bert B. Warburton, Republican. For the House—Mrs. Lillian I. Martin, Republican, chief account- ant of the Budget Commission, and Harris B. McDowell Jr., former Democratic state chairman. At this point, election analysts give Sen. Frear an edge in a tight race. They see Mrs. Martin lead- ing McDowell. The GOP state chairman, Clair Killoran, said, “If it hadn’t been for this segregation fight, we would have had a Repub- lican landslide.” Now, however, some Republicans are by no means optinfistic. But they are encouraged by the thought that the party has not lost an “off-year” election in, Delaware in 32 years. So far, no issue—except school integration—has appeared to stir the voters much. There has been some discussion of employment, but the Republicans say the situ- ation in Delaware is good and the Democrats describe it as “‘spotty.” The Delaware Chrysler plant re- cently got a 160-million-dollar con- tract to make Army tanks. McDowell criticizes GOP farm policy in the state’s poultry-rais- ing areas. Republicans plead for the election of Warburton so con- trol of the U.S. Senate will remain in GOP hands. Frear talks about the tax bill and foreign policy. Present registration is only about 160,000 against a total vote of 173,- 000 in 1952 and 129,000 in 1950, the both parties have been urging peo- ple to register and soundtrucks and newspapers are trying to get out the vote. Frear, 51, went into office in| 1948 on his first try for office. He) is a farmer and businessman, gen- | erally considered conservative, and he apparently is well liked by some Republican elements in spite of his being a Democrat. Delaware businessmen, regard- less of party, report they found him “very helpful” in Washington. And he voted more than two thirds of the time on major issues in agree- ment with his Republican col- league, Sen. John J. Williams. This cuts two ways, however. Some elements in the Democrat- ic party consider Frear too con- servative. The CIO has not en- dorsed him. And he had a nomina- tion fight with James M. Tunnell Jr., former state Supreme Court judge. Frear’s opponent, Rep. Warbur- ton, is a 38-year-old lawyer. He held high office in Young Repub- lican organizations, spent four years in, the Army overseas during World War II, and was elected to Congress in 1952. |let the Chinese Reds buy what Eu- or Party Issue Reds Open Big Hole In Bars To China Trade By SEYMOUR TOPPING LONDON (#—Russia and her Eu- Topean satellites have opened a big hole in Western barriers against war potential exports to Communist China. They are buy- ing strategic goods from the West and selling them to the Chinese, making a neat profit in the bar- gain. American and British officials here and elsewhere know what is happening but say they can see no way of stopping it. This is the Western gimmick the Kremlin has turned to Eastern ad- vantage: The United States and her allies forbid the export of certain strate- gic goods to both Eastern Europe and Red China. But the list of goods embargoed for Red China is far longer than the one for Eastern Europe. Red Europe thus can buy West- ern goods that the Chinese cannot —things like generators, machine tools and petroleum equipment. Western officials say European Communist nations are buy- ing these items for transshipment at top prices to the Chinese Reds. One of the big Communist trans- shipment points is Gdynia, Poland. From there Western goods go by rail to Peiping via the Trans- Siberian Railway, or are carried into Chinese ports by Red ships able to evade the Chinese Nation- alist naval blockade. Several shipments of strategic items from the West were recently held up at Gdynia by a transport bottleneck, according to informa- tion reaching Western diplomats. The strategic ban on Red China, imposed by the United Nations dur- ing the Korean War, has always been tougher than the cold war embargo on Soviet Europe. And with tensions easing in Europe, the West relaxed embargoes for the Soviet bloc last August, cutting the number of prohibited items from 250 to about 170, But the Far East situation re- mained potentially explosive and similar action on the Red China lists was deferred. Western European «businessmen are urging their governments to ropean Reds can buy. The United States opposes any change in the China lists before | the signing of a full Korean peace. | Young Voyagers Trouble Police ROCKFORD, Ill. (#—Two little boys, sons of a sailor, are giving police a hard time with attempts to sail down the Rock River to the sea. | Tommy Richardson, 7, and Bob- by, 5, were found adrift in a speed- boat Tuesday in downtown Rock- ford.

Va. —State police searched today for the person who rigged a crude “booby trap” which blew up be- neath a train hauling coal from a strike-bound mine, killing a mem- ber of the crew. Fireman Robert Nicholas, about 52, of Bolair, was buried alive | yesterday beneath a carload of} coal as he jumped from the loco- motive, tender and three cars of the 39-car “drag” were over- turned. Violence has been spasmodic since the United Mine Workers struck the Maust Coal and Coke Co., operator of three unionized “deep” mines and a nonunion “strip” or surface mine in this area. The train was hauling the first load of coal from a Maust mine since a bridge, dynamited Oct. 1, was replaced. UMW officials were not avail- able, but in the past they have dis-! claimed knowledge of any of the | incidents of violence.
