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.

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.

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.

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 like the head of a beaten drum and hills dance like dervishes. Ava- lanches of rock sweep down the slopes of neighboring mountains. Forests are flattened and burst into flames." Indians in the vicinity of the crater have at least three, legends concerning its origin. "All the legend's agree in repre- senting it as the site where the great spirit desce-nded in a blaz- ing fire and disappeared beneath the ground," the scientist stated. "Strict taboos were ,placed upon everything associated w'it h the crater and no 'good Indian' wil SPECIAL SERVICES FOR DEMONSTRATION of the "Babu-Tendla," a nationally ad- vertised safe way to care for your ibaby, call Mrs. Thos,.
