War Department

To Hold Hearing

On Canal Bridge

District Engineers To Meet All In-
terested Parties Here Tues-
At Masonic Hall

In connection, with the vertical
lift bridge to be built across. the
intracoastail waterway at. White
City by the state road department,
the war department has called! a
,public hearing on the project, to
be held at the Masonic hall in. this
city at 2 p. m. next Tuesday. The
hearing will be in charge of Col.
Mark M. Boatner, Jr., of the U. S.
Engineer office at Mobile.
All interested parties are in-
vited to 'be .present at the meet-
ing, particularly county and city
officials and those whose interests
may 'be affected by the proposed
work. -At that time they will"be
given an opportunity' to express
their views upon the suitability of
the location andi the -adequacy of
the plans in reference to naviga-
tion, and to suggest changes con-
sidiered desirable.
The communication from Colonel
Boatner stated that oral state-
ments, will be heard', "but for ac-
curacy of record all important
facts and arguments should be
submitted in writing, as the rec-
ords of the hearing will be for-
warded for consideration by thS
war department."
Plans submitted by the state
road department show a vertltat
clearance for the bridge of 82 feet
when, open and 11 feet 91/2 inches
when closed, with a horizontal
clearance of 86 feet between the
fenders.
As far as is known, there will be
no opposition to construction aof
the span, since it has been badly
needled for many years and will
be a big improvement over the
present outmoded floating bridge.

Ow Country Right or Wrong


MUST GREED PREVAIL?
All during the war indus-trial workers have
been drawing high wages-for most of them
higher than they had ever drawn before in
their lives. Yet today, under the urging of
CIO leaders (who get their cut of the union
.dues) these same workers are demanding a
30 per cent increase in wages.
With the war ended and millions of work-
ers being laid off, it seems to us that wages
should take a drop, with a consequent drop in
the cost of living. But apparently these union
workers not only want to retain their-,war-


boosted wages but figure on increasing them.
Union leaders have informed their locals
that they are free to strike at any time. The
skilled craft unions are already preparing to
refuse new members, believing that they can
maintain prosperity for a few by keeping sup-
ply below demand in closed shops.
We're going to have thousands of men re-
turning from the various theaters of war and
personally the editor of The Star thinks that
this is' one heluva way to receive them. They
are entitled to their old jobs or the first pick
of any new jobs that may be open which they
are capable of filling, whether or not they be-
longed to any union when they entered the
service or not. They risked their lives while
the present strikers stayed at home and drew
down fat wages. Personally, we believe the
best Aay to settle this present strike situa-
tion is to tell the strikers to go plumb to and
stay put, and fill their positions with capable
men being discharged from the armed forces.
Unions seem to have forgotten that there
is a Constitution of the United States, under
which men were guaranteed the right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness-which
means the right to Iwork.' Say we: Let the.
strikers keep right on striking and fill their
positions with capable men returning home
from the wars, for what have our soldiers
been. fighting for if'when they return to their
homes they cannot work without paying for
the privilege? '

Home Gardens Will

Continue To Occupy

Place of Importance

After the tempest comes the
calm. After the victory is apt to
come the letdown in food produc-
tion-too soon. A .bountiful food
supply cannot come like magic to
fill our 'grocery stores' and pantry
shelves overnight. The need tor
food has, not dissolved with tne
signing of the surrender papers.
It's true that demand should
slacken off with the end of the
war, and rationing has already
been removed from processed
foods. But time is required to pro-
ouce a crop or to raise livestock to
marketing age.
Florida- farm and, urban people,
along with those throughout the
country, have done an excellent
jotb of food production during the
war. Through untiring and' what
appeared to be almost super-
human efforts on the part of farm
families highest food production
records in the history of the coun-
try have Ibeen attained. Food pro-
ducers, the -home front fighters,
deserve unstinted praise for their
accomplishments.
Both farm and ,urban families
became more proficient at gal-
dening during the emergency.
They made definite advancement
in proper nutrition, in spite of the
difficulties in obtaining some kinds
of foods.. Their home gardens and
home -canned products have been
of untold value as a source of
health, produced through their
own enterprise..
But the food production batt'-e
Is not over yet. there is continuing
need for home gardens andl home
canned products, especially. Home
gardens will continue to play an
important role in, the nation's food
supply, &t least through this win-
ter.
And. it is to be, hoped that thou-
sands of families,, having found
how delicious and nourishing the
fresh vegetables from their own
gardens .can be, will want, to con-
tinue to have fine home gardens
even after the emergency has
passed. No fanm ought to be with-
out a home garden, war or no war.

has increased the pulpwood

' more than was produced last

by heavier demands from the
Army and Navy for V-boxes,

Iv other paper items essential to
the successful prosecution of
the war in the Pacific.
