Matthews of the Florida railroad commission states that bus companies operating In the state "will be expected" to continue complying with a rule re- quiring -sepaxate seats for white and negro passengers. He made the apnouncement at the end of a commission confer- ence on what, if any effect, a U. S. supreme court decision prohibit- ing segregation of negroes on Vir- ginia interstate commerce buses would have in Florida. "From reading newspaper at- counts of the supreme court de- cision in the Virginia case," he said, "we see no reason for modi- fying or revoking our rule." He called attention to the rail- road' commission's Regulation 37 which says that "separate seat', shall be provided! (on buses) for white an d colored passengers. Drivers are required to bthe cour- teous in assigning space and are responsible for 'the convenience ot their passengers." "The bus companies will be t*- pected to comply -with this rule," Matthews declared. Governor Caldwell's only com- ment on the supreme court de- cision was, that "from the stand- point of amicable relations be- tween the races, I'm sorry it was necessary for the court to rule as it did. I do not believe it, will be con'duicive to harmony." Eugene Talmadsge, campaigning for governor of Georgia, says that if he's elected he will see to it that all buses stop at the state line and the passengers be re- quired, to purchase tickets in or- der to' cross the state.

When plants which have been started in seed boxes or pots are set out in the garden, the most ef- ficient way of feeding them is to place fertilizer where they can reach it as soon as they begin to grow in their new location. It is always a shock to the plant to move it, even if every precaution is taken not to disturb its roots. It must become adjusted to its new home, and during 'the period of ad- justment it is, so to speak, conva- lescent. Plants are like human pa- tients; when very young, or not so well, they need a special diet; they cannot eat as heartily as when growing in full vigor. The way to place fertilizer so that it will not -give them indiges- tion, before they recover from transplanting shock, is to mix a tablespoonful of plant food with the soil at the bottom of the hole which has been dug to receive the new n':ant. After mixing throw an inch of top soil over the bottom, so there can be no immediate contact be- tween the plant roots, and the chemical, until the roots start grow- ing. When a pot plant is set, firm soil well.around it, then pour on the soil a'glass of water from a bucket into which a handful of plant food has been stirred. If the plant roots are bare, pour this water over them, then set the plant and firm the soil around it. The small amount of fertilizer in the water (a handful to a full bucket) will give the plan an immediate stimulus, which will help it recover more quickly from its shock. When seeds are sown In hills, lift soil to make a depression two inches deep and in the bottom of it mix a tablespoonful of plant food; Throw in an inch of fresh soil, and place the seed, covering it lightly and leaving a slight depression over it. Food, fuel and clothing costs art higher than ever. While many house- hold necessities hove increased 50% or more during the past fifteen years the average amount you pay for do- mestic electric service has reduced 50% in the same period. These figures are based on annual overage consumption of electricity So today more than ever ..... ELECTRICITY 'S YOUR BIGGEST BARGAIN! FLORIDA PO WER CORPORATION Save Food Here In St. Joe, Save Lives There Nine ways in which housewives of Port St. Joe *can save food to feed the starving in other lands Is listed) by the United States De- partment of Agriculture. In suggesting concrete ways in 'w-hich each household may assist in accumulating the huge 'Loo0 supplies needed in the current desperate ,world situation, the de- partment said the needs of a wa;- torn world for -food are so 'great that there is no limit to the Ameri- can food that can Ibe used to save human life. Main emphasis falls on the con- servation o0t wheat, fats and oils, it is indicated,, and the following recommendations are made. Cut 'down on the wastage of bread in every 'way possible. Pres- ent estimates are to the effect that 5 Iper cent, or one slice out of every loaf of 'bread' baked every day, goes into the garbage can. Reduce the amount of bread used at each meal through substitutes such as potatoes 'and oat cereals. Use fruits, 'for example, instead or cakes and pastries ifor desserts. By tha use of alternate foods, use less wheat cereals for break- fast. Save cooking oils by making more extensive use of meat drip- pings ifor cooking and' seasoning foods. Hold -down the nu:aiber of fried foods that are served. Save and re-use fats andl oils for all cooking purposes. Hold on to bacon grease for cooking, and render excess fats of meats. All fats that cannot be re-used should :be salvaged and, turned mn to the butcher or grocer. Take it easy on oils and salad dressings. River Project May Get More Federal Funds Early passage in congress of a bill authorizing $73,000.000 to be spent for dredging and channel work on the Apalachicola, Chatta- hoochee and Flint rivers and for power plants and' flood control is anticipated'. O,t present work has -begun with an a'ppropriatiqn of $1,010,000 pro- vided for in a bill passed' March 2, 1495, calling for $6,500,000 to be spent improving navigation on the ,three rivers, and for locks and dams at the' rivers' junctions and at Fort Benning. The new bill calls for construc- tion of a hydroelectric plant at the junction site and two more In Georgia; construction of Buford reservoir, which would assure an adequate supply of water for the Atlanta area, and for more exten- sive dredging and channel worK. The improvement is recommen- ded on condition that the people below the junction dam agree t" furnish fiees of cost to the United States all lands and rights-of-way necesasry for provision and main- tenance of the channel and agree to provide, suitable public terminal and transfer facilities.

Our Country "- Right or Wrong ASKING FOR IT President Truman's address to congress requesting drastic emergency powers to meet the strike crisis, hit the public consciousness with the crushing force of a blockbuster. The pernicious habit of looking to government for the answers to all problems has finally reached the logical conclusion-a crisis that the president felt only ruthless dictatorial au- thority could cope with. Few noted the significant request that was included in thle president's appeal for author- ity to seize industries and draft workers into the army-he asked immediate renewal of price control without qualification or amend- ment. He could do nothing else. If the government has complete power over the working people it must also have complete power over all else. And by the same token if it has com- plete power over the industries and business, .of the country under the authority of the OPA it must have complete power over the work- ers. In this case it makes no difference whether the egg or the hen comes first-lib- erty as we have known it will be lost. The only wonder is that governmeent by bayonet did nit-appear before this.,The whole country has been asking for it. It is the in- evitable end in any nation where people im- pose upon their government responsibility for their economic welfare. We are now apt the point where we must decide whether we want dictatorship with its spurious security, or liberty with the inevitable risks as well as opportunities it entails. WAR'S INHERITANCE With society persisting in a constant cycle of reactions, the power ,of subconscious sug- gestion and mimicry remains one of man- kind's greatest afflictions. (Ain't that para- graph a dilly? We didn't know it was going to sound so grandiloquent and pedantic. until we sat down to the linotype to set it up.) Consequently, today we see patterns of the recent past recurring in the deceiving guise of newness. We refer to the mounting march of labor under a dictatorial impulse which Is both totalitarian and an inheritance from war. By this we mean that America organized her pooled manpower in a defensive sense tb meet the pooled power of an aggressive peo- ple, and the result was an inheritance of some- thing like fascism in reverse. Instead of labor organized,: under dictatorial prerogative, we now find labor itself organized as a dictator along plainly fascistic lines. The Low Down from Willis Swamp Editor The Star: You know, you don't find nobody much who's concerned or excited about Socialism. It's seepin' in at all the cracks and Senator 'Claud- ius Pepper is one o' the biggest advocates of it, (but nobuddy alerts hisself. Talk to 'em about it and they'll look outen the window-or THEY'VE SMARTENED UP Wives used to serve hot biscuits at every nmeal--and fried chicken for breakfast on Sun- days. Now you're lucky if they remember to get a loaf of bread at the store, and chances are that Sunday morning breakfast will be a mess of sawdust cereal and a cuppa coffee, and you may have to fix that yourself. They used to get up with the birds, chop wood. start the fire under the pot in the back yard and do a family's week's washing in one day. ironing it all before'noon next day. Now they sit around and blame the laundry while the dirty clothes pile up chin high. They used to make all the clothing for a whole family, including dresses and pants and shirts for a flock that might run from six to ten kids, and they also had an eagle eye out for any patches in pa's pants or shirts, not to mention making their own house and party dresses. Now they sit around and holler at the drygoods merchants and the mail order houses because tihe dratted OI'A makes it hard to buy just what they want just when they want it Thev used to make a year's supply of laun- dry soap and store it away. Now they, sit close to the radio, listening to the latest soap operas and bemoaning the fact that they don't have any Supersuds or Chipso to wash the dishes-or maybe. only a package or two. They used to make bang-up country dinners on old-fashioned wood stoves, and have plenty time out for social calling. Now it tires them out to take a meal out of a can and warm it on an electric stove. They used to have one a year, following the old dictum of being fruitful and populat- i ing the earth, and thought nothing of it-but c now they have one or two in a lifetime, and C some have none, while those who do have a s couple act like they have really contributed to the human race.

DBrucedols Preventie A Upeclal committee on brucello- sis of the Illinois State Veterinary Medical association says, "Calf- hopd vaccination, with or without complete testing of the herd, is not being adopted as a substitute measure for good herd management and sanitation. It is now generally recognized as the foundation upon which a program for the ultimate control of brucellosis can be built." Scenic Advantages Of Waterways Should Be Considered, Says Editor The scenic advantages of the waterways to be constructed un- der the proposed Florida water conservation and flood control plan are given too little attention, in the opinion, of Merrick M. Hill, editor of the Kissimniee Gazette. While the prime purpose of the plan is to protect cattlemen, cit- rus growers and farmers of Cen- tral Florida from extremes of wa- ter levels, the 12-foot canals' of the plan would give small boats an opportunity to explore virtually unknown jungle territory in Cen- tral Florida. Under the proposed plan, Titus- ville would be connected with Kis- simmee by a canal which would give small boat owners a close-up pof the calm, mystic St. Johns marsh. From Ocala would come another canal that would) take the craft through a veritable fairyland of citrus. A 12-foot channel from Kissinm- mee through the Kissimmee river valley would enable marine tourists to return 'to the days of the Cosi quistadors. Reedy Creek swamp with its marvelous stand of cy- press would be just one stopping point on a cruise through the na- tion's "last frontier." Strikes Slowing Florida Power Expansion Plan The Florida Power Corporation's rive-year $20.000.000 expansion pro- gram announced some months ago, is hitting s'naigs in construction caused to a.,large extent iby strikes in plants producing equipment es- sential to the utility's program. !R. G. Porter, local manager for Florida Power, commented on the gloomy picture by saying: "The Strikes that have gripped the na- tion since January have slowed down production to such an -extent that orders placed, today would, in .most cases, not be -filled for al- most a year. "Fortunately, in anticipation of our expansion plans, we began or- dering new equipment during the closing months of the war and, as a result, are receiving shipments of essential items, but these are entirely inadequate to meet our full requirements." In explaining the needs for the a idddtional generating -and trans- mission requirements of the area served by Florida Power, Porter went on to say: "The present neea for' expansion is based, on many factors. New construction was slowed during tho war years, ana the unprecedented, growth of Flor- ida is necessitating additional fa- 'ilities. It is also our desire to reduce operating expenses by con- structing modern generating sta- tions to replace or augment pres- ent facilities for possible further deductions s in rate charges. "Every effort is being made to extend service to those requesting it."'' concluded Porter. "We are most anxious to make electrical service available to all, and wilJ continue to expend every effort to accomplish this end,."
