Other studies are in progress on separate phases of the highly intricate industry at | Oregon State, University of Cali- fornia, Nebraska University and Louisiana State. H. C. Diehl, of Berkeley, Calif., \director of the foundation, com- */ ments in this fashion on the cam- leolah for quality: “The leader in that work is the Western Frozen Fruits Processors Association, a California freezers’ group. It met recently to discuss a tentative plan for setting in- standards for grading frozen peaches, apricots, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. The different processors will take , the program back to their plants for analysis and testing. “All eight of the (foundation’s) ‘frozen food projects are working jon that directly, and all the re- frigeration and engineering proj- ects will affect quality indirectly. “The industry has had some rapid expansions. It is having one now. In such times every indus- ® Wete, quality and ap-| try gets a lot of newcomers.

Quality tomlerde have been fixed for twe degen specific items and eventually 75 prod- ot are expected to be covered.

Every time the industry has done that {in the past it has run into trou- | jie, od The responsibility of the retail bisciper in development of quality is stressed by others such as John M. Bess, president of Refrigera- {tion Corporation of America. In- | stead of directing “all the fire at processors and packers”, Bess feels that the corner grocers should learn to keep perishable | items at proper refrigeration ylevels — generally zero Fahren- |heit. The housewives too, other trade representatives declared, should carefully examine packages, make sure they are clearly labelled, | and reject those which are soft or broken, | Little Man's Prospects One opinion of big packers is given ‘by Edwin E .Huddleson, vice - president of Stokely-Van Camp, who predicts that in 10 years the big and long-establish- ed processors, such as canners, will have taken over 90 percent of the frozen food business. Another facet of opinion was given to the national packers as- sociation by Edwin T. Gibson, vice-president of General Foods Corporation which was the firm to pioneer the business and which has set standards for its own products that the trade generally accepts as extremely high: “If shoddy goods provoke the public into voicing its disappoint- ment, government agencies will prick up their ears and then you'll | have restrictive laws—you’ll have new bureaus in local, state or na- tional governments and needless interference in your operations. Either industry policies itself or it suffers additional government { supervision.” DROWNED IN ATTEMPT TO RESCUE WIFE’ COMASSET, Mass. -—- When bit wife fell overboard in rough } 39, who} apparently tied | wees, Joseph Figueiredo, could not swim, @ tope around his waist and leaped inte the water in an effort! te eeeewe her.

She planned a_ vote-getting campaign in North Carolina, which added 10,000 names to the books in the sixth congressional district alone and increased ex- tensively the registration in oth- er districts. Miss Price, an attractive, earn- est, dark-haired Southerner with ten years’ business experience in the North, but no experience in politics, is executive secretary of the Committee for North Caro- lina, which is a member of the Southern Conference for Human Welfare. The conference, which has in its ranks some leading business men, educators, writers, lawyers and social workers, was } founded with the aim of better-j| ing conditions in the South — jobs, economy, education, health and homes. Part of its aim is to spur the South’s citizens into ac- tion at the polls. “Many Southerners haven't bothered to vote in the past, so we put on a four-part cam- paign ot get them to the polls,” Miss Price eplained on a fly- ing visit to New York. “First we worked with other | organizations. We supplied speakers, material and ideas to the YWCA, church groups and women’s organizations. The Jun- ior Chamber of Commerce asked how their members could co-: operate with us and we helped them with posters and radio pro- grams. A “Second, we publicized the is- sues of the campaign — not the personalities. We sent the candi- dates questionnaires and asked j them to state their position on OPA, minimum: wages, atomic energy and so on. Of course some of them tried to squirm out of it; . but we just kept right at it ’til|, we got an answer. “In many towns we had open meetings and invited both Dem- ocrat and Republican candidates ‘to state their position on issues LEGALS NOTICE TO CREDITORS (1883 Probate Act, Sees. ue, oath IN Gin ee RT OF TH 5 cou NT B : Esta' ROBERTA 4 known. as F You and eac! notified an r to present any claims and demands which you, or either of you, may have aga required the estate of Roberta own as Roberta New- man, late of Fayette County, y¥, to the County Judge of Monr County, Florida, in the court’ house of] said County at Key Florida, within eight calendar the time of the fi this notice. 1; laim or demand shall be in . and shall state iueuplacelofs recideace ang post of- fice address of the claimant, and shall be sworn to by the claimant, his ag or his attorney, and any such cla demand not so filed in shall be v WATKi ‘OM. 0.

It oc- cupies a warm place in the in- nermost recesses of my heart. a train out of Blountstown bound for Gainesville and the univer- Marianna and borrowed enough money from Amos Lewis:to en- ter the university and pay a few months’ board. It was my first trip west of Tallahassee. Soon after entering a university, I began to realize r the first time what a wonder- ‘ful state Florida was. During the five years I remained there, I hitch-hiked to nearly every part of the state. I came to feel an affection for Florida that has grown through the years. I got to know thousands of young men whose friendship I still cherish. If I ever achieve anything worth- I got to go to the university. If I may be pardoned for this now tell you how many people. were employed last year by the University of Florida’ and how much. they were paid. The total number of persons employed was 1,034, and they re- ceived $1,071,356.39 in salaries; and $8,303.80 for travel expense. Many were part-time employes. Most of the professors were paid have had to cultivate a garden and keep a milk cow in order to eat enough. The Florida State College ‘for submit to from the floor and the candidates’ past taken on important issues and mailed that record to 5,000 civic leaders. If we could have afferd- ed it, we should have mailed them to every voter. “Next we orgi the housewives who telephoned everyone listed in the tele- Phone book and reminded him to vote. “And finally-we organized the college students. They gave radio programs and skits and went in- to small towns on Saturdays and put up striking signs saying ‘This way to the polling place.” Miss Price’s present job is very close to her heart. “There is-a whopping job to be done in the,South and the more we look at it, the more it ‘seems to us that it is important 5}4o the whole country that we do it,” she said. “According to Unit- States government figures, ‘the South has 28 per cent of the country’s people, 33.6 per cent of its farm land, 40 per cent of its forests and 27 per cent of its mineral wealth, yet the South’s per capita income in 1943 was only $666 compared with the na- tional per capita income of $1,031, and it now pays only 6.5 per cent of the nation’s income taxes. If the per capita income of the South could be increased, it could become a tremendous mar- ket.” » ~ S AWW Printing Emb e Peeeecccecacesaceseeeeee sept 26 Twenty-three yearsiago I caught while, it will be mostly because j giving away to sentiment, I will | such low salaries that they must; questions.
