From AP’ Newsfeatures MADRID, — Spain's _ rainiest spring in recent years has brought ‘the country out of the} worst drought of the century. The importance of the drought is measured by two losses for the year: two-thirds of the nor- mal wheat crop, arid one-fourth the electric. power. Loss of the wheat brought the bread, ration of the young hostesses, had of the social end of it, did her part admirably, as Miss Rogan is assistant di- of the Duval Street USO 's Division), and has re- the Red Cross Citation her splendid work in the war. pitt i le also from the Jackson Square .

The nation whieh is physically unfit is very soon mentally unfit, since a sound mind cannot dwell in an unsound body. The citizens of Key West are heppy that efforts are being made to have our city among the clean, healthful, beautiful com- munities of Florida; and they are appreciative of the fact that our senitery department is insisting | that all contribute toward keep- img the city clean. Paradoxical, however, is that efforts are made | te remove trash and filth from) feme portions of the city while ether portions are. neglected. Key West cannot be+a clean, health- ful, beautiful city. so long.as there is a pile of trash or filth im front of a single yard. So long #8 there is an unsightly spot in the city, the city is unsightly. Trash is permitted to accumu- late from week to week in cer- tain sections of the city, yet all persons are required to pay trash removal fees. Recently a citi- wen was told that she would have fe “talk to the judge” if she failed to pay $6 for the upkeep of the scavanger service; yet in her front yard the trash contain- er is running over with trash which she most certainly does not appreciate seeing. Not only is the trash pile con- twary to her appreciation of es- Mhetic values, but it is directly in opposition. to her sense of, sani- tary values. She is aware that flies which breed in trash piles im neglected portions of the city may carry poliomyelitis germs, typhoid germs, or the germs of any disease into the more favor- ed sections from which the seavanger truck removes trash daily.

Former Capt. Frank J. Swee- ney, Jr., 26, and former Capt.! John J. Pacura, 25, were both pilots in the 315th troop carrier squadron when in March of 1944; Sweeney was reported missing. After a week, all searching pilots but Pacura gave up. Six days later he spotted a red dot in the green jungle which turned’ out Sweeney and Pacura were on Sweepey ‘still wearing the red of capacity, The 1945 harvest was the worst of the century. Wheat was down to 1,800,000 tons, against a normal 4,350,000., Olive oil production, Spain’s chief source of fats, was 242,125—70 per cent of normal. The drought continued through the winter of 1945-46, and it was May 6 of this’ year before power restrictions were completely eliminated in ‘Catalonia. Spring rains were so heavy that most reservoirs ovetflowed with damaging floods in south- eastern Spain and fear that some crops would be washed out. In general, however, crop prospects are said to be the best since the bumper. year 1934, This year, the peasants say, “the wheat will even.-grow..out. of the stones.” LATE'TO Tampa, or at least that portion | of it that is located in the down- town and night ‘club area, took ! on an atmosphere of Tallahassee during a legislative session. i The occasion was the caucus of Florida’s 1947 House of Represen- tatives, held in Tampa last week | end. Lawmakers, new and old,’ lobbyists, newspapermen andj camp followers swarmed: hotels, tap rooms, barbershops and res- taurants, shaking hands, slapping backs and carrying on in true convention style. While the affair was officially a House~ caucus, senators ‘had “been invited as a‘matter of court- , esy and most of the: august! gentlemen of \the chamber of dig- ‘nity attended.:-: t 4 The innogent by-stander who/| may have chaneed into the lobby | of the Floridian Hotel along{ about cocktail time must surely have imagined that he had either | entered a madhouse or had joined! a heard of cattle in a dipping vat.

Bunn Gaut- ier of Miami advocated a joint House-Senate committee to work on an “overall and coordinated tax program relating to local sub- divisions of government.” Ad- mitting that such a committee might overlap some of the work of the Governor’s Citizens’ Tax Committee, he and other legisla- tors viewed their approach as mere practical. Backing up Gautier’s sugges- tion, Répresentative Perry Mur- ray of Frostproof said, “It is really going to be a grab bag; that is why coordination by such a committee will be vital.” Skepticism was widespread about the blueprint for a 36-block | Capitol Center, on which the! first things should come first, and Representative Murray admitted that while there was undoubtedly need for increased space in Talla- hassee he looked ‘on the present All indications pointed to the 1947 Legislature as an extremely independent body.

Permanent Dormitory For U. of F, Is Recommended JACKSONVILLE, July 17. —(FNS)—Erection of a perman- ent dormitory at the University of Florida at a cost of $750,000 was recommended by the State Board of Control. The building would house ap- proximately 300 students. The board also requested the alloca- tion of $810,000 for an addition to the library at the university, 00,000 for an addition to the chemistry building and $350,000 for a classroom building. The board also approved an increase in the revolving fund at the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes from $3,000 to $10,000, where summer enrollment is the largest in the history of the school. Need of Advertising For Florida Fruits TAMPA, — (FNS) — J. Adams Bruce, president of Bruce’s Juices, speaking before the Tam- pa Advertising Club traced the history of his organization from its small start 20 years ago when it began bottling citrus juice for local consumption to the present day and stated that 18,000,000 cans of citrus and vegetable juices were shipped last season. He warned that the day is fast approaching when citrus canners and shippers will have to give serious consideration to advertis- ing and merchandising if we are to market our 68,000,000 boxes of fruit, which in another two. or three years will increase to 120 million boxes, Bruce said that Florida is being challenged by California and @exas and we can hold our lead- ership only ‘through an’ aggres+ sive merchandising and: advertis- ing’ program. Babies Must Be Named In South Ameriean Wav BUENOS AIRES. — ‘AP + It's the law—children born here have to be given Spanish names. The law says births must be register- ed “in the national language” and Judge Raul Lozada Echeni- que ruled this meant Spanish. The case came up when George Taylor, no mean moviegoer, tried to register a new daughter as “Victoria Ingrid.” The judge passed “Victoria” as Spanish but | ruled out “Ingrid.” There’s a loophole in the rule— the courts will accept the name of a saint of any nationality. i Fe cere GREASY RAILS STOP TRAINS AUSTIN, Minn.—A leaky tank ear, containing 60,000 pounds of white grease, dropped grease on railroad tracks from Austin to Cresco, Iowa. No one thought much about the leak until a north bound Milwaukee road passenger train took two hours to negotiate a 30-mile stretch between here and Cresco and a freight train took three hours to make the run over the greasy rails. Unbeliever Dr. Abrams was called to the barber shop where Sam, the col- ored porter, was lying unconsci- ous. Dr. Adams worked over him for a long time and finally reviv- ed him. “How did you happen to drink that stuff?” he asked the patient. | “Didn’t you see the label on the } bottle?
