Patriotic Noisemakers Available For First Postwar “4th” Holiday AP Newsfeatures Fourth of July celebration, eral days. 1946 style, will give millions of youngsters their first taste of the pre-war brand of, noise- making fun that's been part of the American tradition ever since 1776. For many years before the war, safety regulations limited fam- ily use of firecrackers, and dur- ing the last four years, most of the other favorite aids to juvenile noise could not be made because metal, rubber and plastics were required for war production. This Fourth of July, Junior end his sister can exercise their lungs with a variety of horns, fifes, kazoos, whistles and other noisemakers special- ly beloved by youngsters. Rubber balloons, steel drums and squawkers, too, are back in| volume for juvenile fun on In-{ dependence Day, say officials of the Toy Association. Red, White and blue rubber balls gaily dec-; erated with stars carry out the/| patriotic motif. i All the festive paper novelties ; that wartime restrictions limited also are back—big red, white and blue balls of fluted paper, pa- tejotic hats and favors and high! flying kites. Rubber beach balls, dolls andy inflated animals, all favorite; holiday playthings, are being) made again in volume. And, good news for all small boys, there are .plenty of pop- guns! Powdered ‘Orange Juice By BEN PHLEGAR AP Newsfeatures RLANDO, Fla.—This juicy story is all about oranges. It started when the govern- ment needed penicillin in pow- der form, and needed it fast. Research scientists went to work to find a way to dry the; drug without losing its miracle properties. The answer was a/ high and heatless vacuum be-| cause heat destroyed the Value! of penicillin. A vacuum suffi-) cient to produce the drug on a+ commercial scale was developed, @ maze of tubes and retorts look- ing very much like an oil re-} finery. About that time, Uncle Sam decided he needed fresh orange juice for soldiers in foxholes. Since foxholes weren’t equipped with refrigerators, the problem| again was to concentrate the juice into powder. Penicillin and orange juice are in the same boat when it comes to their dislike for heat. Orange juice loses its flavor and its all important vitamin C when heated. If a vacuum process worked for penicillin, scientists asked,! why wouldn’t it do the same for orange juice? * The National Research Cor- poration of Boston, which devel- oped the vacuum apparatus, | thought it would. It put up a pilot plant in the heart of Flor- ida’s citrus belt near Orlando. | The canning plant of the Ply-j mouth Citrus Growers Associa- tion furnished the juice and the penicillin “machine” turned out! the powder. The process is still largely secret. The orange juice is sprayed into the vacuum col- umn where it gets thick as marmalade. Then it’s pumped into an almost absolute vacuum — and presto, it’s a dry powder. An ounce of the powder plus six ounces of water equals or- ange juice. A Florida concern built a com- mercial plant modeled after the | pilot and will produce 5,500 lin an emergency. ;wreck of an old Spanish © re PEOPLE'S FORUM Se eel The Citizen wetcomes expres- views of its read- confine the 1 write on one side . Signa COMMENDS COMMENTS Editor, The Citizen: It pleases me to see our little paper, The Key West Citizen, coming to the front with sugges- |tions and comments of interest to our city. The editorial in Saturday’s pa- per, “We Stard Alone”, was ex- cellent except for one thing. You failed to mention garbage scat- tered all over the sidewalks early in the morning, the result of hun- gry dogs looking for food at \night. Perhaps Mr. Demeritt does not have the privilege of stepping over or walking around stinking garbage on the sidewalks in the morning as we early-rising work- ‘ing people have to do. Thanks to Mr. Joseph M. Vil- lars on his article, “More Doctors Needed”. It. is amazing how many Key Westers have to go ;out of.town for medical attention. He is right. It is just good luck :if you get any medical attention I know from experience. ; Last, but not least, Mr. Fred H. Green's article, “Carriers of Po- lio”, is really food for thought. He éxpressed the opinion of a number of Poinciana residents. I understand that section is over- stocked with dogs. One man said to me who lives out there, in discussing polio: “A mosquito never dies with malaria but it infects people with the dis- ease and I believe it can be the same with dogs. Perhaps they don’t have polio but the way they run around snooping into every- thing it is possible for them to spread the disease.” If this is possible then our Health Department should get be- hind all stray dogs and _ isolate them. MRS. ANNIE L. KLING. PUBLICITY STUNT? Editor, The Citizen: Some weeks ago you published an account of one Irwin A. Wil- liamson, who had discovered the ship, somewhere in the Straits, which |he supposed contained Mexican |gold to the amount of many mil- lions of value. . The latest story was that he jhad found the old ship surround- ed and protected by a wall of coral, and was breaking into the treasure, : Nothing has appeared in your journal since about him, and I am interested to know more of this matter. Did your city reporter find all this, or did it really happen? You know, we have papers here, too. Seriously, I would like to know Mr, Williamson’s home address. A. D, PRESTON. Beckley, W. Va.
