PAGE, Sh Six Records Of Florida Benefits Of R Roosevelt New Deal Cited % Road Building, ee De- velopment, Building Con-| struction, Farm Relief Head List Whatever the eventual come of government aid to states, and whatever its bad ef- fects now, there can be little doubt that there are many bene- ficial results from the enormous amounts of government money being poured out for state proj- ects. Those benefits, indeed, stand out as the only obvious fact in a welter of confusion and un-! certainty about principles, about | future moral and financial ef- fects, about whether government spending is the cause or the re- sult of large unmployment, shrinking profits, and industrial unrest. ‘ere are a few things done in Florida by federal funds, com- piled by the National Emergency council and listed according to the agencies through which the money was spent: (1) Works Progress adminis- tration (WPA). Highways, roads and streets have been construct- ed, totaling 772 miles; improve- ments have been made on 1,105 miles of other roads; 44 miles of road shoulders have been built; 552 new bridges have been built and 72. others reconditioned. Drainage work done includes 1,- 202 new culverts, nearly 5,000,000 linear feet of new roadside ditch- es, more than 20,000 feet of new pipe, and 50 miles of new curb and gutter. A tote! of 313 new public build- nigs has been erected under WPA end 291 others have been im- proved. Outdoor recreational fa- cilities constructed include 43 new athletic fields, 24 play- grounds, nine swimming and wading pools, three golf courses, 63 tennis courts, and 23 new parks. Improvements were made on 38 existing athletic fields and playgrounds, and on 25 parks. Water supply and sewerage sys- tems completed involved the lay- ing of 23 miles of new water lines and more than 100 miles of trunk and lateral sewer lines; 983 manholes and catch basins have been completéd; 13 miles of water mains and 37 miles of sew- ers have been reconditioned. Sewing room projects have re- sulted in the production of more than 2,000,00 garments, tion of more than 500,000 other articles, and rebinding and reno- vation of more than 40,000 school and library books. (2) tion. The FSA has made facility loans or subsistence grants to 13,- 184 needy farm families. (3) Agricultural Adjustment administration. The Triple-A ac- cepted from Florida farmers 21,- 194 crop adjustment contracts for cotton, 2,961 for corn and hogs, 2,658 for tobacco, 679 for cane syrup, and 3,035 for peanuts. Under the program many Florida farmers were shifted from soil- depleting cash crops of which large surpluses bad caused low prices, to soil-conserving and soil- | conserving crops. (4) Rural Electrification ad- ministration. The REA through its loans has provided for 381 miles of rural electric lines to serve approximately 1,141 rural families, and has allotted loans out- | produc- | Farm Security administra- | ENTERTAINMENT eoce e PENA’S 'Pena’s Garden of Roses opens tonight with an entire new pro- gram of surprises, novelties, rhumba dances and jam sessions featuring Gould Curry’s 7- ~piece | dance band. | According to Pena, parties wishing to attend these Saturday night events should either make reservations for tables in ad- vance or “bring coat-hangers on which to hang on to the bar” as} the place has been crowded to capacity every night during the past week, DOG SNEEZE BRINGS SUIT LOS ANGELES—Because his! | dog sneezed, C.

(5) Reconstruction Finance} corporation. The RFC has loaned money in Florida to 294 banks and trust companies, mortgage loan companies, industrial and commercial businesses and catas- trophe loans. (6) Federal Deposit Insurance corporation. The FDIC insures deposits in 158 Florida banks up to $5,000 each. (7) Loans have been made in Florida by a number of federal} agencies. The Home Loan bank! board has chartered 49 savings| and loan associations in the state. The Home Owners Loan/ corporation has made 13,549 loans to distressed home owners. The Federal Housing administration has insured 6,443 loans to refi-j nance existing mortgages or for | the purchase of existing homes; the FHA has also insured around 20,000 loans for modernization and repair work. The land bank has made 8,374 long-term amor- tized loans to farmers. The emer- gency crop and feed loan agency has made 10,015 crop-producing loans to farmers unable to obtain credit elsewhere. Production credit associations have made 10,- | 308 crop and livestock loans. (8) The Housing authority has placed two projects in operation, providing 438 dwelling units, and has earmarked funds in a num- ber of other projects, including ‘one in Jacksonville for 224 units, ,another in Tampa for 350 units, ‘and a third in St. Petersburg for 240 units. This list is not complete, but it is impressive enough as it stands. Much of the work outlined is in the hands of federal corporations, because it is believed that cor- porations, whether private or public, are more effecient in this machine age than political admin- istrations. Government, in short, is becoming more like business— which is one reason it frequently treads on: joie toes. SERVICES WHICH EVERY PERSON ENJOYS (Fifth Sunday Programs) ll A.

They are quite positive that the downward cycle has been re- ‘versed and that improvment for business and industry is assured for the months just ahead. WPA TO REDUCE Already the results of this be- lief are apparent in government The WPA has been ad- jvised to make its remaining money last until next March Ist. some reduc- tions in the 3,130,000 individuals now drawing WPA checks, but the increase in employment is ex- pected to take care of the slack. The Treasury Department, it is reported, is looking for larger in- comes from taxes and a smaller deficit next July than the 4,000,- 000,000 predicted is likely, if the spending can be checked. INDUSTRY PICKING UP If government spending is to be slowed down, it is necessary for industry to assume the bur- den of giving employment to workers. There are signs that this will not be impossible. Auto- | mobiles are being made at an in- creasing rate, with good sales reports coming in. Steel produc- tion has risen above fifty per- cent of capacity and this is ex- pected to go higher in view of the reductions recently made in the price of steel of the type used in the automobile industries. Residential construction is show- ing a good gain over last year and machine tool orders are ris- ing to give optimists additional encouragement. The recent action of one of the largest utility systems to reor- ganize under the Public Utility; Act is taken to indicate the de- velopment of tween industry and the govern- ment.

Moreover, labor in basic industries and the like- lihood of. damaging strikes is somewhat removed. DEFENSE PLAN AIDS Probably the major factor in the present picture is the pro- gram: of national defense which is expected to have important . ef- fects upon three large industries, utilities, railroads and aviation, with lesser effects upon other scattered industries that are re- lated to defense problems. Expansion in the utility indus- try has already been discussed with speculation about a billion- dollar program, privately financ- ed, to eliminate bottle-necks by the construction of transmission lines and the building of steam- generating plants in certain key cities, Reorganization and moderniza- tion of the railroad systems, part ly financed by public funds, will not only serve the national de- fense, but, it is felt, revive the failing industry. In the field of aviation, large government orders for airplanes “MONROE THEATER ER | Bob Burns—Martha Raye Dorothy Lamour—Ray Milland in TROPIC HOLIDAY t i | ; } | Matinee: Balcony 10c: Orches- | tra 15-20c; Nigh 15-25c What Would Key West Be rela- | tionships are somwhat improved | ,Sult of this fact. | wit increase activity.

Moreover, in South Amer- ica, observers report a swing to- wards the United States, with some evidence that this may mean a better market for American products. RETAIL TRADE On the other side of the picture is the admitted fact that retail trade has not been up to expec- tations, the major part of the drop is attributed to lower farm income. Returns to farmers from the sale of products is off and naturally retail sales show the re- However, it seems to be taken for granted that Congress and the Chief Ex- ecutive will take steps to im- prove farm income in the near future.
