Unless busi- ness firms get busy trainiig replacements at once, they will have trouble operating later oa. ‘this is the warning voiced by Abert Vor Keller, War Man- power Commission in the’ Jacx- sonville area. ‘Every employer, large ard small, shouJd take immediate steps to clarify his own position witn respect to manpower, yor Keller deciaed. “Training of women t» repi: mien ic the most logical answe. to the d°aft :i.ua- tion.” Ren.2ving Expired Coupons Complaints have come ‘in to OPA headquarters that swre- keepers are removing expired ra- tion coupons from their custor:.ers’ books.. This practice violates the regulations and can only resuit in giving the merchant goods he is not entitled to. If a person doesn’t buy coffee ‘with his coffee coupons and lets them expire, there is no reason why the merchant should remove them from the ration book. Same thing applies to sugar, processed foods and meat coupons. Expired coupons are of no value to the person owning them, but can still be used by stores in acquiring goods. Typewriter Drive Florida firms are responding to the War Production Board’s drive for typewriters in commendable fashion. Numbers of machines have been sold to the Government for Army and Navy use but many more must be forthcoming. It is estimated that in the next two months, the Army and Navy will be calling on civilian business for practically every standard type- writer since January 1935. Parts For Electric Fans According to Ted L. Staton, Florida WPB manager, repair and replacement parts for electric fans will be manufactured in sufficient THE LAWMAKERS By RUSSELL KAY (Florida Press Association) I got permission to borrow my 18-year-old daughter from FXCW the other night and took her out to Spaghetti Joe’s for a gander at Tallahassee Night Life during a legislative session. It was a terrible let down after a lot of things she'd heard, for you could count all the legisla- tors present on one hand and outside of beer or two and a eimpse now and then of a hio flask, there was little in the way of excitement. We had to leave early but up to that time all the floor space under the tables was vacant and the juke box had lime to develop rust between numbers. While the OPA may have put a crimp in some estab. lishments, old Joe is still dish- in’ up a right smart slab of yearlin’, while spaghetti is somethin’ to su! nough droll over. When it comes to dishin’ up a mess of plain and fanef read- in’, Dixie Mason can hold his own with anyone and as read- Grease Mrs. Florida is deserving of congtatulations for the splendid ' showing made in the grease phase - of the national salvage program. In January Florida led the nation in the percentage of its monthly 75,008 pound quota obtained. De- spite meat’ shortages and other factors, Mrs. Florida increased her state toal_ of saved household gredse for February but dropped to seeond place, wit'y Nev2da tak- ing the lead-angl Tenitsse~. by a huge spurt, following very closely in third place: c: It is hoped that Florida will be the first state to attain its month- ; ly quota To ‘do'this an inerease o° about 20 per cent of February ‘ collections is all that is‘necessary. | Trensiuted into paunds,-this is 15,- 000. It is realized that the volume of household: grease heing saved in manv homes will of necessity be redve-d. The only way- fot ‘the § dte to attain its goal is by en- couraging more and more house- wives to enlist in this great war effort.
