SMITH, III TALLAHASSEE — (Speciai) — ‘The production of the 248 page Flo- rida A and M University catalogue which came off the press last week- end, was another in the series of top quality jobs performed by the skilled craftsman and students in the university’s department of printing. Since last September the depart- ment which is a unit of the school of engineering and mechanic arts, has turned out a continuous stream of fine printing jobs ranging from memorandum slips to the catalo- gue. And throughout the year stu- dents enrolled in the department have had the opportunity to study under and work with these skilled craftsmen pursuant to qualifying for a tade certificate in printing and a degree in industrial educa- tion, The curriculum of the depart- ment offers broad training in the fundamentals of printing and pro- vides an opportunity for special training in the several branches of the printing field including hand composition, linotype operation and maintenance, both hand-fed and au- tomatic platen and cylinder press operation, bindery operations, lay- out and design, estimating, and newspaper production. Because of the large volume of production jobs done in the depart- ment, the students receive exten- sive training in the production of “live” jobs. In addition to produc- tion of the catalogue, students dur- ing the past 11 months have had an opportunity to assist with the Production of the student newspa- per, programs of all types and siz- es, , & special newspaper, and a 44-page univer- sity viewbook. In , they have designed.and produced their own individual class projects. Veteran teachers and craftsmen in the past who have visited the shop have literally been astounded by the excellent equipment they found in the shop which is located on the first floor of the Benjamin Banneker Engineering Building. Notable among the equipment re- cently installed are a stereotype unit complete with molder, scorch- er, and caster, a paper drill in the bindery department, and a router. Additions within the past two years include a Miller SG automatic cy- linder press, a Model 31 Linotype, Diamond power cutter, Baum con- tinous feed folder, and a Rosback Perforating machine. In addition to these improve- ments, the plant has undergone a complete physical “facelifting.” With newly painted walls, tile floor- ing, bindery operatons, and class- ACME Package Store 309 PETRONIA STREET Phone 2-9400 Tropical Hat Cleaners 714 Thomas Street TELEPHONE 2.5560 Key West, Fla.

Dean This week we have the tas« of placing the third basemen in the category in which they should fall. | We have had some players who performed well around the hot cor- ner. I shall attempt to recall some of the outstanding features about them. eLet’s discuss Eugene “Goat” Smith. In talking about third base- men who played for Key West, “Goat” should be classed by him- self. For many reasons, from your knowledge of ‘‘Goat’s’”’ ability and if you were a manager of a team, I would like to ask, this question, Where would you put “Goat?” The anticipated answer would be any place you need him. He was an almost perfect third baseman when he played with the original Clowns. “Goat” was linked with one of the few infield combinations we have known-such as King Tut at first, Snead as second, Livingstone ‘‘Win- ky” James at short and “Goat” at third. Once in Miami I was standing by Bob Stancel while “Goat” was playing third base and a ball was hit hard on the third base line. Goat made a difficult one hand catch and made a perfect throw have never seen Goat make a bad | throw in my life.” the bat.” Tomas Valdez was another good third baseman — very fast, he could play way off the third base |line. He did not have a | throwing arm but he was able to get the runner out. Nathaniel ‘Sergeant’ Roberts was also a good third sacker — good on tagging runners and field- ing bunts. A very good lead-off man, he was outstanding for his ability to steal bases. Victor “Punch” as he was fam- ilarly known to -many will always bered. His only trouble was that he was a poor hitter. “Wetter” Burgohy can be re- membered for performance around the hot corner, a very good fighter who always played to win. When he played he wanted all the balls confidence in himself. At bat, he to be hit to him for he had great wertt there to hit the ball and would jhit it hard. I listed the third baseman and gave the outstanding features | bout them. Now, I will let you de- | cide as to where they can be plac- j ed.

I think that the boys are entitled to the support of all of us. They are our sons, brothers, nephews, cousins and fu- ture citizens. Time and a_ little money spent for their encourage- ment and pleasure now will pay off great dividends in the years to | come. We all want the future to be better for those who are com- ing after our time. There are other youngsters who , are receiving benefits and are sup- ported by their group. Our boys and girls need the same kind of big brother and sister act also. If there is any organization or business firm that would like to sponsor this league, contact Alphonso T.

It is so easy for the pa- | rasite to live on his host and feel that it is the absolute duty of an- other individual to take care of" him. Yet, this same parasite will not contribute a single item to the | benefit of the host and is often prone to say nothing was ever giv- |en to him even though his entire existence depended on absorbing |iota of life from this contributor. This is the type of individual one ; Must watch and not be the “‘fall- , guy” for as there is nothing to be | gained in contributing to the. no- | goodness of such an eating sore. | Before soorow for the lot of a| | seemingly unfortunate is allowed | |to seep into your heart, let reason | be your one and only guide and con- | | tribute only to deserving m atters |as in the final analysis you will | live to rue the day through ingra- | | titude and hard words received | from the parasitic individua] whose | | very existence you felf responsible | _ | for. es: ere Around Bethel: : Rev.

A question many of us have ask- ed during the past few years is what actually happens to our food dollar, Taking as an example dom- estically produced foods, the Gro- cery Manufacturers of America have recently completed an gna- lysis of the 1953 cost of the family “market basket,” as reported by the U. S. Department of. Agricul- ture. Paul S. Willis, President of GMA, tells us that prices are holding firm at present, with no dtasti¢ changes. . .up or down. . .expected in the grocery basket. In 1953 the farmer received on an average 45 cents of our food dollar to cover costs and profit ‘of producing raw agricultural pro- ducts. The remainder, or “spread” tial services — all along the Life Line of America — in transform- ing the raw crop into a food in the grocery basket — research, transportation, processing, whole- saling and retailing. The largest cost among these services was wages and salaries — 27% cents of the food dollar (half of the entire spread). An- other 6% cents went for transpor- tation cost, and 4 cents for manu- facuturer and distributor income taxes. All remaining expenses, in- cluding other taxes, packaging ma- terial, rent, depreciation, etc., a- mounted to 14 cents. This left only 3 cents of the consumer’s food dol- lar as the combined net profits of the processor the distributor, and the retailer. Wages, taxes, and transportation add to more than two-thirds of the entire 1953 spread. From 1946 to 1953 the spread for processing, transporting and distributing the annual family market basket rose $180. Higher cost of wages, bysi- ness income taxes, and transpor- tation, plus the removal of govern- ment subsidies, accounted for 90 per cent of this increase. Manufacturer and distributor net Profits, on the other hand, declined over this period. In 1953 they rep- | resented $9 less of the retail mar- | ket basket cost than in 1946.

C., and Meharry Medical Col- lege, Nashville, Tenn., were includ- ed in grants totaling $2,176,904.71 awarded this week to the nations 80 medical schools by the National Fund for Medical Education, Sr, Sloan Colt, president, announced, The grants were made possible by gifts from business and the medic cal profession. Howard University Medical School was awarded $22,+ 970.85; with Meharry Medical Cole lege receiving $21,573.34. Each of the 74 four-year schools received $15,000 plus $25 per un- dergraduate medical student. Each of the six two-year basic sciences schools received $7,500 plus $25 per student. Added to these grants were the gifts of individual doctors to designated schools. Mr. Colt, who is also president of Bankers Trust Company, New York, said that business corpora tions contribute through the Fund's Committee of American Industry while the doctors give through the American Medical Education Foun- dation, set up by the American Medical Association. Mr. Colt stated that Fund grants which are unrestricted, are used by the schools primarily to fill teaching vacancies, to create new {faculty posts and to initiate cours- es in areas of recent scientific ad- vances. This year’s grants bring to $6, 941,057.35 the total awarded to med ical schools by the Fund since 1951 when its first awards were made, Hailing the addition of the Uni- versity of, Puerto Rico Medical School to the ranks of American medical schools, Mr. Colt pointed out that this sharpens the need of © medical education for corporation support. He said, “We now have 80 medi- cal schools on which rests the en- tire burden of training doctors to meet the medical and health needs of our 160,000,000 people.” Since World War II, Mr. Colt Pointed out, mounting costs and in- creased demands for services have imposed grave financial problems, on the medical schools. ‘‘The short- age of funds,” he said, ‘strikes at the heart of the medical school — its faculty. Many schools cannot maintain necessary teaching staffs, much less expand to meet press- © ing needs.” Stressing the many services per- formed by the medical schools in addition to training new doctors, Mr. Colt pointed out that free me- dical care valued at $100,000,000 is Provided by the schools through their associated teaching hospitals and clinics. Also, he added, the medical schools provide continua- tion education for 49,000 practising Physickans and conduct research Projects costing nearly $32,000,000. The health of our people, Mr. Colt emphasized, is our greatest national asset. The medical schools - Play the key role in maintaining and. improving health standards, and are a vital national resource. Mrs. F.
