Our -Country Right or Wrong A SOLDIER IS A CITIZEN Nearly half of America's 3,500,000 service men and women "will be denied either the right or reasonable means of voting" in the presidential election under existing state laws and regula- tions, according to National Commander Donald "L. Wilson of the American Legion. In a per- sonal letter to the Legion department conm- mander of each of the 48 states, calling attention to this "appalling travesty on democratic prin- ciples" and asking for an analysis and report of local conditions, he said: "The American Legion is particularly alarmed because this group is comprised of Americans who have already suffered curtailment of many of their personal liberties, and who are called upon to risk life itself in defense of the nation's freedom. I earnestly hope that you will take the lead in initiating a demand for such ac- tion-either administrative or legislative-as may be effected ... in your state." The editor of The Star, who received a copy of Commander Wilson's letter as adjutant of the local Lt-gioi, post, feels reasonably sure that no legislator in any state, and particularly Florida., wishes to deprive an\ soldier, sailor or marine, male or female, of the duty and privilege of vot- ing. Where regulations make such absentee vot- .ing difficult or impossible, they are surely theI result of inertia or our lack of experience as a militaristic state. We heartily endorse Commander Wilson s stand and add our small voice to the plea' for GI ballots in that "Get Out the Vote" drive _hat the Legion and most of the rest of us are pushing.

JOE GARDEN CLUB Magic gardens can be grown on any scale, but just for an example, try this: Think of an ordinary double boiler; the top part is the bed and the lower section the tank. If you are going to grow plants with big roots, you need to punch holes about 1/ to % inch diameter in the bottom of the upper section; for such things as herbs and small flowers, you could use an ice pick to punch the holes (for the larger holes, an oyster knife is good). The holes should be as close together as possible, making the bottom like a colander. Then put a thin layer of wood excelsior over the holes to keep the sawdust from falling out, then fill the upper section with sawdust-and you have your bed. Four inches of sawdust will grow most plants. Wet thoroughly with plain water and plant seeds same as in soil, though they can be much closer together. 'Then with the ice pick, punch one hole through the side of the lower section, about an inch below the bottom of the upper section. This is to regulate the level of the liquid, and is very important. Sprinkle the sawdust with plain water until the seeds sprout, then sprinkle once a day with magic garden plant food solution (or a hyponex solution may be used). As the plants grow, their roots will go down through the holes into the solution in the lower "tank" sec- tion, then all you have to do is keep this full of solution up to the hole, and sprinkle the plants them- selves occasionally to keep them fresh. Any seeds which will do well in this climate will do even better in this garden, remembering you can bring the whole thing indoors when the weather is cold. This hydrophoiic gardening has been done successfully in labora- tories for more than 100 years. During World War II the U. S. :L.r:y used it to grow green vege- tables on the barren rocks of As- cension Island in the jungles of British Guiana, and on the volcanic ash of Iwo Jima. The army is now using it on a huge scale to grow healthy, fresh produce for its peo- ple in Japan. Try it. If you enjoy growing things, you'll have loads of fun! ------+------ DICK DILLM.AN RETURNS FROM 'SHAKEDOWN' TRIP The aircraft carrier USS Block Island last week returned to the naval operating base at Norfolk, Va., after completing her "shake- down" cruise.

The first 31,000 KW unit of this plant will be in op- eration late this year, while the secondd unit will come on the. lines in 1954," Porter pointed out. In addition, the local utility man- ager went on to tell of the million dollar transmission line and new sub-stations at Jasper and Madison which have been completed and are serving thousands of rural and city customers. Florida Power is also building a major new substation at Drifton, near Monticello, and add- industrial customer." He said that the Florida Power Corporation would have 250,000 KW added capability by the end of 1954 when the Suwannee River plant, Avon Park plant addition, and the two additions to the Higgins plant on Tampa Bay are all in service. At that time the company will have a total of 435.000 kilowatts in their huge power pool, all tied together by many miles of high voltage transmission lines serving a thirty- one-county area. "Yep, we're proud that the in- vesting public has confidence in the future of this area and the ability of our company to see that ade- quate power is available for every need," concluded Rich.

Ball and 'his crowd came to us (legislators) and wanted a sales .tax and I fought it," he said. "That is one reason why I have the ever- lasting opposition of Ed Ball." McCarty again grouped together Alto Adams, one of his opponents for governor: Ball, and D. C. Cole- man of Miami, former Dade county sheriff and state senator as the "ABC's of this campaign." "When I fought the sales tax in 1939, they fought me; they fought me again in 1948 and they're still fighting me," continued McCarty. "The charges they are making against me today are just as un- true as they were four years ago," he said. "I have made no deals. I steadfastly refuse to compromise myself and my desire to be gover- nor. When this campaign is over I'll still have my self-respect and you will have yours." Vacationers From California Lt.

Tiny Spring Flowers Give Big Thrill to Gardeners In selecting spring flowering bulbs for next spring's garden, the date of their flowering is as of much importance as the beauty of their flowers. The tiny white snowdrops which in most gardens will be the very first flowers of spring, give as great a thrill as the magnificent peonies, three months later. This pleasure may be obtained by planting a small group of bulbs where they can be seen from a window. From such small begin- ning, in a well planned garden, floral beauty will unfold as the sea- son advances, the blossoms in- creasing in size, number and vari- ety of color. To provide this succession the first three months of spring the hardy bulbs offer the ea"iest means, since they require no spe- cial soil treatment or protection, and are dependable, in all types of soil so long as it is well drained. For beginners they are probably the easiest of garden subjects to grow well. SAfter. snowdrops come the scillas and chionodoxas. Scillas drop seed and spread. often covering consid- erable areas with their numerous blue flowers long before violets, ap- pear. Chionodoxas are almost as prolific, with flowers of brighter blue, some with white centers. Crocuses, which come next,, are not so easy to keep with us. They have white, bl:.:e, yellow and striped flowers, larger than the ear- lier bulbs; but never plant them hi the lawn, as some books advise, unless you are willing to li' it grow uncut until the crocus leaves turn yellow and drop off. If their green leaves are cut off, the bulbs die. Better plant them with later peren- nials whose leaves will hide the yellowing crocus foliage and allow the bulbs to mature normally. Even so, be prepared to replace ha!f your crocus bulbs each year. These early bulbs are usually called the 'minor bulbs." Their flowers are so small that in June they would hardly be noticed; ilut in their own season they have no rivals for the spotlight, and gar- dens in which they grow, give two or three weeks more of gardeiu beauty to their owners. The first major flowers of sptrixg- are, th daffodils, or narcissi, which blossom after the crocuses. Tilip.s bggin to fior jfore,the daffodiis are throtigh. First ther-e are species tulips, such as' grow wild in Europe; then the highly bred early tulips; most popular type abroad; wherg their uniform height, aid' brilliant colors, make possible the planting of "carpet beds."- The, climax of the bulb season comes with the tall, late, giant flowered tulips of the Darwin, Cot- tage and Breeder types, which bring to the garden a greater vari- ety of colors including all the rain- bow- hues, than any other flower family can contribute.
