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.

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? ' they is sweiatin' and dyin' in look- in' after you; are they helping' much?. Brother, you would, sure git a answer. A feller who's got the disposi- tion to be a farmer : anm't no weak character.

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. Mrs. E. R.
