Dean, publisher of the Sanford (Fla.)

If the 4 ublishers-Printers'cade goes into ef- fect, many small dailies will became week- lies and many weeklies will go out of busi- ness.

Sy ee eby + QPPORTUNITY The saying that it’s never too late to mend, doesn’t apply to physical property. In these days, every community has its share of homes and. business buildings which have heen allowed to depreciate to the point where they are ready for the wreeking crew. There degeneration may be laid to the door of false ecohomy. White a dollar was “saved” temporarily, many dollars were lost because of it.’ ~ There are hundreds of thousands of properties which can still be put in good condition at a maderate cost, byt which will be gone beyond redemption if work is put off much longer. Today we can still get in on bargain prices for most supplies and commodities—tomorrow will tell a differ- ent story. The wholesale price level has been skyrocketing, and now the retail lev- el is beginning to follow—the cold and un- prejudiced statistical tables tell you that, and they permit of no argument. Build now, improve now—provide jobs and purchasing power—remember that in- vestment and employment are cheaper than charity, and that they make charity Presi: | fE]L [1 BB ALRIC) desper- POSeccccoasavoqgcceeoeonenngoacsooosoosomecaados Solution of Youterday's Puzzle BOS ous IF A[RIMESIAIP AIM 1D} Bhake AIR} AA SINIETE IR}: INIG| Sack "sen BILD NE TY Ie! & Rare gag 9.

Troop 1, Boy Scouts of Amer- ica, returned to Key West at 7 o’clock this morning on board the’ lighthouse tender Ivy from Fort Myers where the boys have been in eamp for the past 10 days. The camp, though a short one, was in- deed pleasant and the hospitality of the people of Fort Myers, as in past, years, was again demonstrat- ed by a number of entertainments’ and social affairs given in honor of the Key West scouts.

Recovery Administration, probably no-6ther governmental agency jn Washing-' ton is so Besieged these days as the Home Owners’ Loan’ corpora- tion. Officials of that organization are experiencing great difficulty in trying to convince ‘owners of homes that it is not their mission merely to refinance mortgages at a lower interest rate. Daily throngs crowd into the of- fices of the corporation confident- ly expecting the government to lend them the money to pay far their homes at a lower interest rate than they are now paying banks and other concerns. They leave disappointed. Tt is not confined to the man in the street, either.
