about its future.
The tax on the dog tracks has
been the most publicized segment
of Gov. McCarty's big legislative
program, and the victory over re-
sourceful opposition was taken as
an indication of the governor's
strength in the Legislature.
Three amendments drafted to
benefit the tracks were beaten by
large majorities.
Also defeated was a proposal to
use: the money for mental health
instead of welfare payments and
distribution to counties.
The end result was that the bill
passed just as it was proposed by
the House Committee on Finance
and Taxation.
The bill was drawn to take an
additional $2,491,678 cut of dog,
track profits annually, thus giving'
each county an additional $19,170;
in racing revenue and raising he
state welfare payments about $2 a
month for each aged person on the
rolls.
The bill would levy an additional
tax on the profits of Florida's 13
dog tracks by means of a sliding
scale geared directly to amount of
pari-mutuel "play" in one day of
racing.
Greatest struggle came over the
amendment of Rep. Dowda oft Put-
nam to low the scale and leVy
a ',at yielding only $1,.0(0.0)60i a:
., .1 = r -x 'i- reverti .. .'g ; _.
f believe the race track opera-
tors will be very happy with this .
arrangement," said Dowda.
But this led Rep. Floyd of Dade
to declare that the Dowda proposal
was "the great compromise" and
resulted in charges of undue legis-
lative influence by dog track op-
erators.
Rep. Williams of Seminole saif
a dog track stock owner had threat-
ened to defeat him if he voted for
additional taxes. "The question is
whether the dog tracks are run-
ning this Legislature or whether
the representatives of the people
are running this Legislature," said
Williams.
Since his amendment did not
provide for added welfare pay-
ments, Dowda said it would give
the counties $20,000 a year extra in
racing revenue.

amid all the splendor of the jungle,
waterfall and beach scenes was

IS IT WORTH SAVING?
It seems like just about all we've heard
out of this new governor is "cut the expenditures
boys" "Fire half the people in the state if need
be, but cut the expenditures". The Governor
then proceeded to cut a swath a mile wide in
the sea of state employees and no doubt did
away with" part of the excess help that was on
the State. payroll. With all this excess help on
the payroll, the State of Florida wound up with
quite a pile of cabbage left over from last year's
operation, so it would.seem to our ignorant to.
the workings of high finance mind that we would
naturally have even more of a balance left after
this year's spending, what with no cut in taxes
and reduced expenditures. Maybe there will be
less money, but we can't for the life of us, see
how. Then Tuesday of this week rolls around
and the Governor's proposed hike in dog track
taxes becomes a law and this means even more
money in the till to play around with.
Here's what we're getting around to. Here'
we have Governor Dan's cutting the budget
and raising the taxes and he asserts the State
can't afford but a $300 per year raise for the
teachers. Of course the legislature got "big-
hearted" and upped the ante to $350 per year.
This amounts to about $10 per week. Just add
that to the $35 per week a good portion of the
teachers are getting and see if you could live
on it, Mr. Legislator and Mr. Governor. You
might take one of thb higher paid teachers and
add that $10 a week to their $50 to $60 per
week and see if you could maintain your living
expenses and still get the additional schooling
needed to keep abreast of your profession.
We venture to say that 75 per cent of the
Legislators and the Governor too, are lawyers.

schools to gain his training for

The Governor is advocating fewer teachers with
higher education and here he and most of the
Legislators owe the teachers directly for their
training that is earning them a very good liv-
ing.
We wonder if maybe someone would give
us a lesson in high finance if our 2 plus 2
equals 4 mathematical education doesn't work
in. this instance. According to the Governor
this 2 plus 2 is getting the sum total of about 1.
We want to say "HOORAY" for Senator
Tapper who did a bit of orating on the Senate
floor about this matter. Tapper told the State
Senators that at the proposed rate of expendi-
ture each college student in the State wold
cost the State over $6,000 and each ELEMEN-
TARY student would cost the State slightly over
$300., Any school teacher will tell you that a
students education all through his school career
is based on what 'he learns in his elementary
years. As the Senator says, "This figure seems
a little lop-sided".
It is just a shade lop-sided isn't it Senator.

KEEP HAMMERING-KEEP IT SIMPLE
It is dangerous for a business to become well
known. For then it is tempted to quit adver-
tising. And when that happens, the business is
probably on the way out.
In a speech last week before a Pensacola
civic club, a credit company's advertising man-
ager said that and more, all of vital interest to
businesses that want to stay in business.
"There is no such thing as 'living on your
fat' in the matter of advertising," he said. "A
new audience is born every day, and your ad-
vertising message of yesterday is not even an
echo to the newly born daily audiences."
Agreed that advertising, pays, what kind
is best?
The clear, easily understandable kind is
best, said the speaker. Advertising must be
simple. Its thoughts must be simple. Its
thoughts must be expressed so lucidly they can
be understood by a child.
The simplest words and statements are
longest remembered. In the 1860's a man made
a two-hour oration, the credit company's ad-
vertising man recalled by way of anecdote. This
two-hour talk was followed by another man's
talk that ran less than 300 words.
No one today remembers much about that
two-hour speech. But Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
dress with its famous opening lines "Four score
and 10 years ago" is part of the American public
mind.
Those two principles-keep hammering
and keep it simple-are good for any business.

The expansion of Riviera Beach,
augmenting the existing 50,000 KW
capacity, calls for a two-unit sta-
tion under supervision of an auto-
matic monitoring system. The sys-
tem, developed in collaboration
with engineers from Minneapolis-
Honeywell's Industrial Division and
Ebasco Services, will include in-
struments to observe, control, eval-
uate and regulate various operat-
ing factors. Basically, the- system
comprises electronic, indicating, re-
cording and signalling instruments.
Some of the instruments record- as
many as 16 different temperature
measurements from as many points
and signal, via annunciator con-
tacts, any variation.
'This "supervisory instrumenta-

Mary, my wife. asked me as
I was dunking a doughnut in
my second cup of coffee, where
I was heading for. Mary al.
ways likes to yacketa at the
breakfast table. Me -. 'd-
rather read the paper. .
"Jax to' West Palm Beach
with a load, of new cars," I
told her. "Plus a student."
She raised her eyebrows.
"Student?" she asked.
"Part of our driver-trainer
program," I told her. "It's part
of the duty of us professional
truck drivers. This student is
from the University of Flor-
ida. For several hundred miles
he's going to drive. I'm going
to observe him closely from
the angles of attitude, foot-
add-hand reaction time and
r-ahy other functions. That's
tue. way they break in all of
us."
Mary was determined to
talk. "A college man, eh?" she
asked.


"Yup," I said, laying down
my paper. "Matter of fact, the
colleges and universities are
paying more and more :atten-
fion' to the truckinig industry.
Only yesterday, Mr. Charles
Gertner, general manager of
the, Florida Trucking Associ-
ation, and Major A. D. Toma-
sello,, public relations director,
told me that the University of
Florida is thinking of starting
courses in highway transport,
tation..
"I think that's wonderful,"
Mary said.
."So. does the Florida Truck.
ing Association," I said. "Mat-
ter of fact, Mr. Gertner said
the association has already
raised $4,000 for scholarships.
That's what I like about our
association. It's really on the
ball."
"It's doing a wonderful job,"
Mary ,agreed. "So long-
teacher."
