The existing ordinance provides that fuel dealers may not sell MORE than 84 cubic feet as a load of wood. In other words, it This is wrong on its face. Laws should be made to protect the pub- lic, and the existing law obviously fails to do this. It merely protects some designing fuel concerns. No harm can be done by providing that a dealer may give a customer AS MUCH wood as he desires, but not less than a cer- tain stipulated amount.

Without the radio the fate of these people would have been ride in the Pacific, hundreds of miles from the nearest land, food and water scarce, until some chance wayfarer of the sea passed by and saved them.
