CABINET ACTS TO CURB
ROAD TRAFFIC TOLL
The state cabinet, meeting Tues-
day in Tallahassee, adopted a res-
olution requiring the state depart-
ment of public safety to make. a
permanent record of all warnings
given motorists by highway patrol-
men. The resolution was designed
:'to spur the patrol to greater ac-
tivity in accident prevention."
The cabinet has asked a monthly
report of warnings and the names
of patrolmen issuing them. The
governor noted drivers' licenses
have ,blanks for recording warnings
and, commented that when motor-
ists "pile" up two or three warn-
ings, they're going to get a little
uneasy.
It was pointed out that courts
will be more inclined to deal se-
verely with a driver who has sev-
eral warnings charged: against him
than with a driver having a clear
record.
Spend Week-end Here
Mr. and Mi.s. John Lane spent
the weNek-end here with Mrs. Verna
Smith. John left Monday for Col-
umbia, S. C., and Mrs. Lane will
join him there shortly.

Old Fur
Old fur can be cleaned, dyed and
glazed at home, and may be the
makings of a pair of warm winter
scuffs or mittens. Sew with close
overhand stitches, using a fine
needle so you'll make only small
holes in the material. Always cut
through the pelt from the skin side,
using a razor blade, since shears
will cut the fur.

Our Country '-r Right or Wrong
MAN OF THE HOUR
Glowing tributes to the work of county and
home demonstration agents have been paid by
many people from time to time. One of the
best eulogies of the county agent we have
seen recently was carried in The Livestock
Weekly, MAlemphis, Tenn. Here.it is:
He was born on a farm in your state. He
studied. the: technical side of agriculture for
four years. in college. He. learned more, far
more, from experience, though, than he did
in the classroom.
Hie knows not the 40-hour week. Hle has
been stuck on every sort of road in the rain.
He has changed tires in a field many times. He
has choked--on d-usts of summer and shivered
in winds of winter.
He has culled hens, doctored horses, tamed
'wild heifers and ringed noses of unwilling
shoats. He has dipped sheep, bought seedcorn,
.ci-uised timber, surveyed terraces, dug soil
samples and taught the Sunday school class.
He has presided at the birth of your neigh-
bor's baby., consoled the wif.e of a farmer killed
bI a mule. He has sat down to eat with you,
fished with you, sat next to you at a 'hunter's
fire.,deep in the swamps.
He has found labor for you, sold cotton and
cattle for votu, planned your dairy barn, made
out your income tax return, interceded at the
bank for you. He has saved you money, time
and again. IHe has taken your son to a cattle
show. Fle has found a way for your daughter
to go to high school.
He has fought your battles, made friends of
-your enemies, organized your community for
one variety of cotton and to fight cattle grubs
and to build your church.


Health Board Developing
Plans To Better Control
State Water ,Pollution,
L~p" -------
Florida's state board- of health,
realizing the potential hazard cre-
ated by the millions of gallons of
untreated, or inadequately treated
domestic sewage and Industrial
-wastes pouring into. the state's
streams every day, is ready to roll
into action in an effort to better
control stream pollution.
Next month the state board of
health will ask the legislature to
,increase its overall appropriation.
and $50,000 of that increase, if
granted, is earmarked for the bu-
leau of sanitary engineering.
Tne board pointed out that the
increasing population of Florida
and accelerating growth of the
state's industries have consider-
ably.aggravated waste disposal ani
water supply problems.
It is the hope. of the bureau of
sanitary engineering to acquire a
number ot adequately staffed and
equipped mobile laboratories to
make "on the spot" studies of wa-
ter supply, sewage. or industrial
waste treatment, shellfish produc-
tion and food handling problems.
The nature of this work is such
that it can best be handled wheie
the problems occur.

Russians eat sunflower seeds as
Americans chew gum.


lie has been secretary of everything, pre
dent uf nothing, and he's the most underpa
overworked and tired out man on the face
the earth.
He is your county agent.

the agenda outlined. recently by
the five-board commission.
The proposed subjects beiu'-
considered for the legislature, con-
vening Apiil 8, include, stringent

tions were emanated:

ors of alligator farms.

permits.
4. Require tags for all pelts of
fur-bearing animals and hides of
alligators tak&n 'by licensed' t,.p-
pers and alligator hunters, tags to
be purchased from the office in

-each fur and hide sold' or shipped
by the trappers and' -hunters of al-
ligators. Require common carriers
to refuse all shipments of pelts and
hides not carrying required tags.
5. Provide licenses for guides of
fishing parties not to exceed $5.
6. Provide licenses for dealersin
frogs; retail $5, and wholesale $2.

Attorney General Rules
On Homestead Exemption
A man owns a dance hall and
tourist cottages, and eats in the
dance, hall and lives in one of the
tourist cottages is entitled to $5000
homestead exemption on his prop-
erty, under Florida law, according
to the state attorney general.
Tax Assessor Fred A. Hoffman
of Franklin county had asked for
an opinion on whether the owner
of a dance hall where meals' are
served and, around which are sev-
eral tourist cabins could claim
homestead exemption on the whole
place or on just that part used as
living quarters.
The attorney general replied that
the legislature had not limited, thec
exemption to a dwelling house
only, lb u t outside incorporatsea
cities it may extend to 160 acres
andi everything on it, in the opin-
ion of the Florida supreme court.
Thefe are about 100 species of
sunflower.

Gardeners Urged To
Continue Activities
Started During War

Florida gardeners andprospective
gardeners are being urged by the
state agricultural extension service
to get to work in their gardens or
grounds if they have not done so
already.
The extension service is empha-
sizing, the tremendous value of
home gardens during the war, and
the fact that Floridians can con-
tinue to receive valuable, benefits
from their gardening,
In addition to vegetable plant-
ings that may be made, the service
's also, urging home gardeners to
make strongerr efforts than ever
before to make their home ground


more attractive with shrubs, flow-
ers and lawns this. year. It is stress-
ing the fact that attractive home
grounds have a very favorable ef-
fect on the family living in the
home, on the community in gen-
eral, and, on all who see them, and
that the value of a well landscaped
and, beautified .home place is rated
considerably higher than the. home
that does not have attractive
grounds.
Bulletins and other information
on vegetables, flowers and shrubs
may be obtained" free from county
and home, demonstration agents or
from the state agricultural service

Earthquake Caused By Vast
Meteorite, Scientist Asserts

The earth shuddered in a majoi
quake when the greatest known
meteorite struck, twenty to thirty
fnousand years ago, in what is
now the state of Arizona.
A million tons of fiery brilliance.
roared downward', a hundred times
faster than a rifle bullet, and you
could put 10,000 of the biggest
man-made bomb craters into the
one it made.
Harvey H. Nininger, internation-
ally known authority on meteo'r-
ites, estimates more than 300,000,-
000 tons of solid lock was shat-
tered and heaved' aloft by the blast.
He has been studying the great pit,
20 miles southwest of Winslow, for
22 years.
You call visualize. the extent of
the crater, he said, by imagining
the Rose Bowl enlarged to seat
2,600,000 fans. It covers 320 acres
and the s'im is 150 feet above the
surrounding country.
"The mass bored its way through
2400 feet of solid rock, millions of
tons of which were reduced to a
fine flour," said Nininger. "Mete-
oric nickle-iron material has oeen
encountered 1,346 feet below the
south rim and at similar levels In-
side fithe crater." Niainger is con-
ducting a subsoil survey with de-
tectors over a large area around
the crater.
"You call imagine this great fall,"
he said. "The sky is cleft as by a
blazing sword, trailed by streams
of fire. Then the earth trembles
