But that apparently doesn't ap- ply right now, for here it- is the middle of January and we've had but five mildly cold days, and right now, as we -put this story into type, the sweat is pouring off us. We hear people say occasion- ally that it would be nice if the hot weather showed up in the winter time when it was really needed, instead of in the sum- mer time, when it's hot. . Well, they should be saitsfied. Several people have suggested that this summer weather we are having in the middle of winter was caused by the boom-boom at capacity for producing 70,000,006 ets monthly, and the operation Sand maintenance of this corru-' .gator has created jobs for 75 additional men, and these posi- tions are being- rapidly filled. Preference in filling these jobs is given to local men and war vet- e-rans. Management and operation of this new *unit is under control of the present St. Joe Pauper CQm- pa-ny officials a n d supervisory staff, Machinery for the new unit was ,some of the first cast since the war. The 78-inch coi.rugator is oni of the latest design and equipped with hydraulic shaftless roll stands and C flute corrugating rolls. The triplex scoring andi slitting attack. ments -and double cutoff rotary knives allow for the highest effi- ciency in operation. Liners and co:rugating materials ,are combined through the use of Istarch paste.

Our Country .- Right or Wrong STREAMLINED LEGISLATURE Twelve recommendations for streamlining the legislative process will be presented to ti;.c Florida legislature and 43 other state legis- latures scheduled to meet this year. The rec- omnmendations are contained in a report just published by the Council of State Governments. The only four state legislatures not sched-. uled to meet in 1947 are those in Louisiana, Ken;tucky, Mississippi and Virginia. Sessions "in all other states will-begin in January, ex- cu:l)t in Florida and Alabama, where opening dates are April 8 and May 6, respectively. Key recommendations include those aimed at broadening state merit systems to include kl.. legislative personnel, consolidation of o. erlapping legislative committees, and in: creased pay for legislators. The recommenda- tions were formulated by the council's com- ..mittee on legislative processes and procedures. The committee also considered such vital questions as legislative reapportionment, uni- cameralism, annual versus biennial sessions, and voting procedures. But considered them beyond the scope of its current report. ,um mary of the recnimmincndationi. follows. 1. Remove restrictions on length of regu- lr legislative sessions. "Legislatures cannot properly fulfill their functions without ade- quate time to dispose of the public questions before them." Sessions now are limited in 26 states. 2. Remove constitutional restrictions on legislators' salaries. "Annual salaries must be sufficient to permit competent persons to serve in legislatures." -. Iroaden merit systems to include key legislative personnel. "The tenure of legisla- tive personnel should be unaffected by changes ii; i;;rtv c,,ntrol." 4. Reduce the jumble of legislative com- mittees tlirough consolidation and reorganiza- tion on the basis of subject matter and co- operation between'houses. 5. Provide for public hearings on all major bills. "Advance notice of such hearings should be published well, in advance." Spend Week-end Here Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Dillion of Jack- sonvillie spent the week-end here visiting with Mr. an.d Mrs. Gus Creech and other relatives. Subscribe to The Star-$2 year.

Provide for legislative councils or in- terim committees with adequate clerical and research facilities. 8. Review and strengthen legislative ref- erence, research, bill drafting, and statutory revision services. 9. Limit the period during a legislative session during which bills may be introduced, and provide for filing and printing of bills be- fore sessions open. 10. Review and revise legislative rules "wherever necessary to expedite legislative procedure, with due regard for adequate de- liberation and fairness." 11. Provide for a budget "adequate to meet all probable expenditures during a fiscal pe- riod." Also, further centralize legislative fis- cal responsibility. 12. Provide for local "home rule" legisla- tion. This recommendation is designed to min- imize necessity for special legislation affect- ing individual cities by giving localities more power to legislate for themselves. --Pensacola Journal. HOLLAND AND PEPPER Florida's new senator, Spessard L. Holland, has expressed the hope that members of the Florida congressional delegation can work to- gether on matters pertaining to affairs of the state. There is no reason to doubt that this co-operation will. be accomplished. As one pauses to regard national., and inter- national issues, however, there is plenty of room for-speculation as to how close' Senator Holland and Senator Claude Pepper will work. Senator Holland is on record in support of the administration's bi-partisan foreign policy while Senator Pepper has been one of the sharpest critics of that policy, particularly with regard to our relations with Russia. The line is clear-cut there. On the other hand, Senator Holland has never been considered a fot of labor, but is likely to vote considerably to the right of his colleague on matters pertaining to industrial questions. Hle has expressed himself in favor of effective governmental machinery to curb work stoppages in the vital industries of the nation. It is doubtful that Senator IH olland, who es- tablished an enviable record as wartime gov-o ernor, would have remained silent on the is- sue of the coal strike as did Senator Pepper in1 hls New Orleans speech. Senator Holland is not given to snap judg- ment, as his record shows. But he is hardly one to ignore completely one of the biggest problems facing this nation today-the need of intelligent and unbiased legislation to pre- vent industrial stress and at the same time in- sure the production and standard of living of which our nation is capable. 4 -Highlands County News. sant Service ..

INCOME TAX EXPERTS Linton Urges Veterans Reinstate GI Insurance Bill Linton, Gulf county service officer, in ni-aking an appeal to vet- erans who have dropped their ser- vice insurance to have it reinstated at once, said: "If action is taken- before February 1, 1947, you may reinstate your Gi insurance (as canried in the service) without a medical examination by paying two monthly premiums at the same rate as that paid while in the serv- ice. You may reinstate your insui- ance in amounts from $1000 up In multiples of $500 up to the max.- mum of $10,000, if you desire less than you carried previously, at cor- respondingly lower rates, "You may have this insurance paid in a lump sum or in equal monthly installments from 3'6 to 2-10 months to your beneficiary, or part as a .lump sum and the rest in installments. You may name any- one. or your estate as beneficiary." Linton pointed out that before the termination of eight years from the effective date of a term policy it may be converted into a perma- nent type policy as follows: Ordi- nary life, 30-payment life, 20-pay- ment life, endowment at age 65, endowment at age 60, or 20-year endowment. Information as to rates for the various policies, procedure for re- instating, converting, making claim for waiver, etc., and the forms necessary for accomplishing any of the above may be obtained at the pl'fice of Mr. Linton in Wewa- hitchka.
