'Red Tide' Reported Moving Northward The "red tide" which has killed millions of fish off the Florida coast in the Tampa area, is thought to be moving northward; and' if re- ports are correct, may 'strike in this vicinity.

Navy Will Conduct i Bacteria C o u n t In Tests In St. Joe Bay Milk Here Too High Protests From Navigational Stand- point Must Be Filed Not Later Than Aug. 22 The commandant of the Eighth Naval District, New Orleans, has requested -authority to set off ex- plosive charge's in a section of St. .osephs Bay described as follows: Water area to westward of longi- tude 85 23' 00" up to mean low tide line; bounded on north by latitude 290 50' 30"; bounded. on the south by latitude 29 48' 10". Examination of a chart of the bay places this location near the tip of the point at a. point, if observed from the mainland, about half way ,between the- T. R. L. Cater home and Palmhn Point. : Nature ,of the tests are not di- vulged by the navy,, -but it is stated that no permanent obstructions will .be made in the area during the time of the tests, as all will be con- ducted by mobile equipment. The area will be used intermit- tently, and at least two weeks' no- tification will- be given navigation before each test period', which will not last more than two weeks. It is estimated that about 90 days of any calendar year will be con- sumed by the tests. The navy will act as co-ordinator and in a liaison capacity for in- forming local interests and sched- uling the tests. During the actual conducting of the tests the area will be restricted to all boats and will 'be patrolled 'by navy vessels.

S a y s Health Board Authorities Working On Matter, But Urge Heat Treatment for Milk Not Pasteurized Mayor H. W. Soule, was informed by tile state board of health that the board's inspector had, found that the bacteria count in some of the raw milk being .brought into Port St. Joe was dangerously high, and the mayor brought the matter before the city commission for ac- tion. The comnmlission called in W. E. Trammel. local heatlh officer, and instructed him to work with the milk producers in an effort to elim- inate the danger, he being assured of the full co-operation of the city commission. It is pointed out by the state health board that milk is a poten- tially dangerous fobd if it is not handled in the .proper manner. It i.s an ideal food for mnan, and it is also an ideal food for many of man's microscopic enemies. These disease-prodiucing germs may get into the milk either from a diseased animal or from human 'beings. who have contact with the milk. ,Diseases of animal origin which may be siprewad through milk are tu- berculosis, undulant fever, foot and Imouth disease and intestinal ail- ments. The germs with which hu- maans most commonly Infect mi; are typhoid fever, scarlet fever, septic sore. throat and diphtheria. "If pa-ss'teurized. liiirris not avail-. able," the board points out, "the raw milk you use should e given a heat treatment which will destroy any disease germs which may be present." The heat treatment as suggested by the health board is easily done. by putting the milk in the upper part of a double boiler, filling the lower part with water, and placing over a fire. After the water begins to boil, the pan should be left over the fire for three minutes and then removed and cooled, immediately by placing the upper part, which contains the milk, in a large pan of cold water. The water should, be changed, or the pan placed in run- ning water, until the milk is almost as cold as the water. Once pasteurized in this manner, the milk should be kept cool, cov- ered, and, in the same container un- til it is used.

The AAF now is able to make the initial test of new aircraft un- der controlled, weather conditions instead of taking them to Ibases in arctic or tropic regions, such as Ladd( Field, Alaska. An oi.'l'icer said this is expected to save many months in the early phases of type testing, but that experiments with groups of planes and personnel still must be made in the field.' Described as the world's larget cold, weather testing laboratory with unlimited and timely possi- bilities in this era of polar projec- tion routes, the main unit .will ac- commodate the consolidated B-36 the global bomber with a 230-foot wingspan. This climatic hangar is 200 by 250 feet, with a ceiling peak of 60 feet, and encloses 2,900,0'00 cuble feet. The floor is )stressed to carry a. 300,000-pound airplane; consid- erably more than the B-36. Temperatures inside the hangar and associated units for special- izied jobs can be varied from 70 degrees ,below zero to 165-degrees above, and humidity can be con- trolled from 10 to 95 per cent at temperatures above 50 degrees. Wind storms up to 100 miles per hour, with sleet, rain, snow, dust or sandi can be created as needed. Artificial sunlight can duplicate the effects of mid-day on the dessert. The hangar is so equipped that all parts an-d equipment of the larg- est military plane now desIgned can be fully tested. The engines can be run, guns firel, bombs dropped, takeoffs, and landings can be simulated, brakes, can De checked, and electrical. hydraulic and heating and ventilating sys- tems can be tested. The hangar can 'be used also Tu study motorized group equipment along with the men needed to op- erate and maintain them.

Our Country I~- Right or Wrong PAY TO TEACHERS IN HIGH POSITION Florida, as a result of legislatioli passed at the recent session of the legislature, has moved up to a high position in the pay of its public school teachers. A survey made by the New York Times brings out this favorable fact. The average pay of the Florida teacher was raised $770, which is $330 above the national average increase. With an average pay of $2600 for the next school year, as against $1830 for the past year, Florida leads the states of the South, except Maryland, in that particular. Although other southern states raised their averages, none is as high as Florida's. Geor- gia's is $1572, Virginia's $2000, North Caro- lina's $1900, Alabama's $1800, Louisiana's $2222, Kentucky's $1546, Arkansas $1500, and Mississippi $875. Tennessee and South Caro- lina are not listed in the survey report. Incidentally, Florida's increase puts its av- crage $200 above the national minimum salary goal for teachers fixed by the National Par- ent-Teacher Association, which is $2400. Commenting on the figures brought-out by' its survey, the New York Times says: "The crisis is not over. Too many incompetent and pnqualified teachers are still in the classroom. And too many teachers are still receiving to- tally inadequate salaries for the work they) are asked to perform in a democratic society. "Because the public has become informed and is aroused to the needs of the schools, conditions are expected to improve through- out the country. There is a growing recogni- tion that the public schools of the nation are the bulwark of American democracy. The Times survey indicates that the public is stoutly behind the free public schools of the land," The highly beneficial results in Florida, placing its school teachers on a pay level more nearly commensurate with the work they have to do and the preparation they have to do for that work, are due primarily to the fact that, as the Times says, "the public has become in- formed and is aroused to the needs of the schools." In Florida this followed factual disclosures of school conditions and advocacy of a better school program campaign which led the legis- lature to act. -Tampa Tribune.. NEW TREND IN SHIPPING It is becoming the custom to bewail the fate of the American merchant marine today, just as it was during the war to crow over its size and splendid future. There was justification for hailing the magnitude of the merchant marine's war service; and there is equal cause for concern over the merchant marine's pres- ent status. The war not only gave us a vast fleet of emergency-type vessels sprinkled with some modern ships. but it also crystalized a trend just coming to the surface in 1939. That trend was an enforced shift in emphasis from do- mestic to overseas operations on the part of Am erican steamship companies. This shift is of great significance to Ameri- can shipping and to the entire nation as well It means that domestic carriers, aside from tankers and industrial carriers, have reduced operations to a fraction of pre-war levels,,go- ing out of business completely in many !t-- stances because of unduly depressed rail rate structures, increased operating costs, and other land competition. For the nation, It means thie in time of another .emergency, we will' no longer have a large reservoir of do- mestic shipping, of proven value in two world wars. That portion of our merchant: marine that engages in overseas trade will be bucking fierce, foreign competition, much of it state- controlled. This startling change in the traditional char- acter of American shipping warrants the adoption of a national policy that recognizes the effective manner in which domestic ship- ping serves our economy and security, and also considers the support necessary for an active world trade fleet. WEAPONS FOR THE FUTURE Albert Einstein may be regarded as emnis- cient on the subject of the atom bomb, since his initial research made it possible. But he does not regard himself as all-knowing. The other evening he was asked by friends what new weapons might be employed in World War Ill. Hehook his head, and after several minutes of meditation said: "I don't know what weapons might be used in World War III, but there isn't any doubt what wea- pons will be used in World War 1V," "And what are those?" a guest asked. "Stone spears," said Einstein. -Boston Globe. Someone says that choruses are the back- bone of .a show, aiind-we confess to seeing sme that we thought were ihe whole durned '.na toaniy.

Mills in the south and in the north are evidencing interest in the fi- ber's potentialities. Heretofore the ramie manufac- turing industry has 'been limited to England, Franca, and Switzerlasd. One Florida farmer alone exported 250,000 pound last year to Swit- zerland. Itally has asked for about 45 tons a'month.

No loan Shark or speculator will be per- mitted to cash these veteran bonds -not even friends tor relatives. It is not necessary that a veteran cash his bond until the maturity date, during which time there will accrue to the holder 21/2 per cent interest annually. President Truman urges all vet- erans to hold onto their bonds if it is possible, and warns that any veteran who needlessly converts his bond into cash is rendering "a great disservice, to his fellow needy comrades. The bill signed by Truman allow- ing cashing of the bonds also in- cluded a clause extending the pe- riod of time in which application may .be made for terminal leave .pay until August 31, 1948.
