JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 194& Tupelo Honey Exhibit Planned for State Fair F'or the fir-st time in several y ars Florida's famous tupelo honey wvi;i le exhibited at the Florida StatEo Fair to be he!d in Tamnip Febri- ary 3 to 14. TLe di plax for ith exhibit are being prepared by H. A. Gaskin of Blountst,- o and Claudius I anier o' W.xewaic ika. John D. Haynie. apiculturist with the state agricultural extension s-r- vice, points out that tupelo hone: is expensive to produce. The bees are kept in the swamps in the spring and in the. general farmitM regions in summer. The flow from blossoms of the tupelo tree usually lasts two to three weeks, between April 15 and May 15. Bees are hauled in from the. farming sections and placed on platforms 10 to 12 feet above the river bank to be above high flood waters In spring. In poor seasons, Haynie says. bee- keepers fee-d sugar-,yrup and pollen to get their bees ready for the fast work re uired during the tipelo flow. The colonies often work ;o hard during the tups-lo flow that their numbers are seriously de-- pleted. After the fiow is over they must 'be taken to a farming section to build up their colony strength and store utp a supply of poll .n and honey. --------- First Illinois Fair The first Illinois state fair was beld in 1853.

Our Country Right or Wrong IF YOU'RE CAUGHT, IT'S A 'SPEED TRAP' Georgia's coastal route to Florida has been in the headlines as a -"speed trap"-so named by those drivers who thought they could ex- ceed the legal speed limit set by the legislature ,of that state and get away with it. Included among the "victims," by their own statements, were two Central Florida citizens wvho like to think they are too prominent to be tagged for breaking a Georgia law. Just what is a speed trap? In Georgia, Flor- ida, or any other state,.a speed trap is any place where an effort is honestly made to hold wild and irresponsible drivers down to the speed limit set by statutes a limit officers .are sworn to enforce. The only reason for a speed limit is to cut down the growing number of deaths and injuries caused by speed too high for safety. The 1947 records of highway deaths proves the necessity of curbing fast drivers. We urge the passage of laws to lower the death toll, and if those laws are en orced in any one section and ignored in adjacent setc- tions, then that section of a state endeavoring to carry out the law is labeled as a "speed trap." So long as the officers catch the small fry in their net, all is well, but as soon as the law catches up with the real offenders-the big (?) guys-the public will hear their howls of anguish over seven states. The bigger (and louiser) they are, the louder they howl. The Orlando Sentinel holds up Congressman Hendricks as the "man of the "heroic exposure of Georgia's Next Depression May Hit Oldsters Ewan Clauge, commissioner of the federal bureau of labor stwatis- itics, predicted Sunday that the next depression will hit particularly hard at workers aged 45 and. older and create "a national problem of the greatest importance." Sooner or later, he said, the na- tion will have to face the. problem and come to some decision because the steady streamlining of the U. S. industrial system is pushing "a very considerable number of work- ers in their 40s out of their jobs and their careers," and these peo- ple still expect to work until reach- ing 65. At 45 "the average man has ahead of him over 25 years of life." It won't take any major depres- sion to bring the problem to a head. either, Clague. said, even a "busi- .ess setback" with 5,000,000 unent- ployed and lasting only a year or so will do it, he averred.

The political proposals for dealing with this number one domestic problem seem unrealis- tic, to put it mildly. Mr. Truman and his of- ficial family are still bent on rationing and price control-policies which, in other coun- tries, have led to declines in production and the growth of the black market. The Republi- cans lean to rather indefinite voluntary con- trols, Shich have been ineffective when tried -in the past. In both political camps there is an obvious effort to advocate measures which will attract as many voters as possible, and step on the minimum number of toes. It used to be wine, women and song, but now it's hooch, hug and hurry. Quality Frozen Figs Figs are high in calories; are ex- cellent sources of sugar, iron and calcium; and have long been rec- ommended for their laxative prop- erties. They are relatively low in acids and astringency, and the fla- vor Is mild and delicate. For those who like the fresh fig flavor, they are one of the choice frozen fruits. Frozen figs and rich cream are a delicacy. It has been found by University of- Georgia that figs which have begun to shrivel with- stand freezing better and have firm- er texture when defrosted than figs which were plump and in succulent stage of maturity when .processed. Sleeping Potion for Potatoes A "sleeping potion" for potatoes to reduce sprouting in storage is one of the more recent scientific developments now available for housewives. The result of research conducted by Cornell university, the new chemical was used on more than 600,000 bushels last year by large growers. It is called methyl ester and is now available in dust form in one pound containers for the small grower who produces for home use and for the housewife who stores potatoes in large quantity. Every ads carries a message- a message that will save money Toss in the clothes, add soap, and set the dials. When the clothes have been soaked, washed, rinsed, and damp-dried-all automatically -many pieces are actually dry enough to iron!

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire- . men and Enginemen and the Switchmen's Union of North America, representing 125,000 railroad employes, have refused to accept the offer of the Railroads of a wage increase of 153 cents an hour. This is the same increase awarded 1,000,000 non-operating employes by an arbitration board in September, 1947. This is the same increase accepted by 175,000 conductors, trainmen and switch- men by agreement on November 14, 1947. Agreements have been made with 1.,175,000 employes, represented by nine- teen unions. But these three unions, rep- resenting only 125,000 men, are trying to get more. They are demanding also many new working rules not embraced in the settlement with the conductors and train- men. Incidentally, the Switchmen's Union of North America represents only about- 7% of all railroad switchmen, the other 93% being represented by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and covered by the settlement with that union. Strike Threat The leaders of these three unions spread a strike ballot while negotiations were still in progress. This is not a secret vote but is taken by union leaders and votes are signed by the employes in the presence of union representatives. When direct negotiations failed, the leaders of these three unions refused to toin the railroads in asking (ihe National Mediation Board to attempt to settle the dispute, but the Board took jurisdiction at the request of the carriers and has been earnestly attempting since November 24, 1947, to bring about a settlement. The Board on January 15, 1948, announced it- inability to reach a mediation settle- ment. The leaders of the unions rejected the I.c:;u-^ e f the M.e'diaTioni Boasrd to arbitrate. The raihoads accuoted. What Now? The Unions having refused to arbitrate, the Railway Labor Act provides for the appointment of a fact-finding board by the President. The railroads feel it is due shippers, passengers, employes, stockholders, and the general public to know that through- out these negotiations and in mediation, they have not only exerted every effort to reach a fair and reasonable settlement, but they have also met every requirement of the Railway Labor Act respecting the negotiation, mediation, and arbitration of labor disputes. Itseems unthinkable that these three unions, representing less than 10 per cent of railroad employes, and those among the highest paid, can successfully maintain the threat of a par- alyzing strike against the interest of the en- tire country-and against 90 per cent of their fellow employes. The threat of a strike cannot justify grant- ing more favorable conditions to 125,000 em- ployes than have already been put in effect for 1,175,000, nor will it alter the opposition of the railroads to unwarranted wage in- creases or to changes in working rules which are not justified. A glance at the box shows what employes represented by the Engineers and Firemen make. They are among the highest paid in the ranks of labor in the United States, if not the highest. Compare these wages with what you make!
