At Har- . fruits. ‘ wis sath eine at Reyinsin Sab ey Westers is “Fifty Trop- se pute of Nassau” by ‘Kendal and Julia Morton. Forty-six of the fruits described and photo- especially the more recent ar- rivals from the North—will find the Mortons’ book a highly in- formative work. It opens brand new vistas of gustatory delicacies available at our very doorstep. In fact, ‘the first thing this re- viewer did after reading the Mor- ton book was to pick promptly one of the unimpressive fruits hanging from the sapodilla tree in his front yard., Following the Mortons’ instructions, the frui will be kept until soft to e touch. “It is then luscious,” the Mor- tons inform us, “eaten out-of- hand or halved and spooned from the skin .. .The flesh . . . in many fruits is very fine, with smooth texture and sweet, rich flavor.” Needless to say, “Fifty Trop- ical Fruits” is already a smash vard it recently was made re- quired reading in classes study- ing tropical products. The fine ayality of the book is not sur- prising, for the scholarly authors who dropped into The Citizen office the other day, have a zest for their work and a knowledge gained from many years in re- search on fruits for more tech- nical publications. The Mortons, who live in New York and Nassau, do their own photography as well as writing and took all of the 55 photo- graphs with a Leica 35 mm cam- era and ordinary incandescent lighting. Their volume contains an introduction ‘by Dr. David Fairchild, erninent plant explor- er and for many years head of the Division of Plant Exploration and Introduction of the U.S. De- partment of Agriculture. This prominent authority de- scribes the “ Mortons. k as “thoroughly trustworthy ' beautifully illustrated ... a care- fully documented book for which _ people in many tropical regions will be thankful.” Dr: Walter M. Buswell, curator of the Buswell Herbarium, Uni- versity of Miami, Fla., says: “The unusually good photographs and excellent arrangement of the spe- cimens illustrating each article, with the very interesting descrip- tions of the, fruits and how to use em,, make ‘this a: valuable 'addi- ion to books; on tropical frulits— a book that should be in every li- brary. ” Key Westers would do ‘well to consider seriously the cultivation and popularizing of many of these The publishers, Text House, Inc., Coral Gable’, are quite right in saying: “‘We_ be- lieve:this book can be an effective, instrument.:in awakening; Fiori- dians to the-fact that the’ tropical fruits . .. are among the neglect- ed assets of Florida—that they ‘could be outstanding tourist at- tractions here, as they are else- where in the tropics and subtrop- “i more widely grown and pub- icized.” Written in simple, readable language, the description of the fruit and their trees also extend to their preparation for eating, » either fresh, cooked, canned or in many other ways. Undoubtedly, many Key Westers—even life- time Conchs—will find facts here regarding tropical fruits which they never knew before. The Mortons describe not only the better known fruits—banana, orange, lemon, lime, avacado, pa- paya and pineapple, but many of the lesser-known ones such as mamey, mamoncillo, guava, star | apple, rose apple and mango. The sugar apple, so popular here but unknown in most of the rest of the country, is temptingly des- cribed.: MONROE MARKET TO REOPEN TOMORROW Monroe Market announces the re-opening of their new market a#t 533 William street, corner of Southard street, tomorrow, Fri- day, April 25, at 8 a.m. The store is completely stocked with the best quality of new food products.

AP Newstfeatures Writer EW YORK.—The average American is going to do more play- ing in the coming year than ever before in history. Working only 37.7 hours a week, with a two-week vacation with pay and exciting new play- things like air travel and tele- vision, Mr. Average American by 1960 will be setting new rec- ords for both time and money spent on recreation. ! This forecast is made by experts of the Twentieth Century Fund, who have just completed an exhaustive survey of what economic conditions may be like in the United States in the 13 years ahead. Even. before: World War II, the study declares, American workers had more than twice as much free time.as workers of the 1890’s. By 1941 more than 15 billion dollars was being paid out each year for “recreation’—a sum nearly five times what consumers paid for medical care, During the war, many ‘eins men and women learned to use new forms of recreation in army camps, pools, beach- es, tennis courts and athletic fields.. The survey says they are likely to demand similar facilities for peacetime use. . Many industries in the war years opened up gymnasiums, ath- letic fields and other play grounds to keep their workers contented. The survey’ predicts that industry-sponsored activities, which have ranged from fish fries. to fashion shows and from art exhibits to horseback riding, will continue in peacetime. In addition, the great amount of moving about done by service- men and women and war workers, the survey says, will probably — stimulate the appetite for peacetime travel by bicycle, bus, auto- mobile, | boat, train ‘and d_airplane. “The Twentieth ¢ Century Fund stuc study is | is based on the assumption that by 1960 the immediate postwar boom will have ended and the country will have settled down to a high level of prosperity similar to that of the Twenties. “Movie going,” it says, “has PE Rr a fixed habit with the American: public and is unlikely to be greatly shaken by the advent of television, especially as television broadcasst of anpostant events may become a part of regular motion picture programs. “Color pictures will be shéwn:more and more’ widelys: ‘dixectionat sound’ is a probable postwar, inn vation; and three-dimensidnal pic- tures are reported to be just: ‘atouk d ithe corrier” } hs # By 1960, it is estimated, a ttillion bivatet Blashedlt - flying the airways, private craft will be sold at a rate of: v 000 annually, and it may be possible to buy a plane for. as : low as $800 (in the dollars oi 1940).

York and Londen over, air, ¢ ¥ pyen- tualifvio-shrinkts“$l00 ae 4 to aa a oweerel with today’s fare of approximately $350, and two-week “overseas .vacations” will not ‘be ‘unusual.’ The Fund experts indicate that steamships will lose at least half their maximum prewar transatlantic travel in first and cabin classes to airliners. They say railroads, with the exception of “high clensity” lines and when used for short trips, may no longer be important carriers of passengers. The survey predicts automobiles will be used even more widely in the next 13 years than in the per war period. There were 4.5 per- sons for every passenger car in 1941 and it is expected.that there will be more than one car in operation for each four persons—or about one car for every family in the country—in 1960. But it is going to cost two billion dollars a year to keep streets and highways in’ condition to handle the traffic. ee: “ae ie, he —— Fn Overseas Transportation Company, Inc.
