Important Changes Made
In office OF Federal Food
Administrator BeQchan,

Federal Food Administrator Brax
ton Beacham has just instituted some
important changes in his Office al
Orlando, and has adopted plans which
will greatly facilitate work of the
office, and will place certain depart.
ments in charge of various Directors,
who under the new plans will be able
to keep in close touch with the sub
jects and the work allotted to them.
Under this new system, Mr.. Beach
ans assistants are given the title If
Director" and each of them chosen
will have entire charge of thcir re-
spective divisions, with Administra-
tor Beacham in supreme authority
and acting as advisor on all questions
demanding his judgment or final d.
rection. Each of the Directors will
handle correspondence relating to
their respective Divisions and touch
ing on kindred subjects which in the
very nature of their work, extend
much further than the heading desig-
mated.
Administrator Beach3m has Great.
ed Divisions and has designated their
Directors as follows
Division Cotton Seed and Cotton
Seed Products, Administrator Beach
am.
Division Accounting and Sugar Dis
tribution, j. N Bradshaw, Director.
Division Trade Regulation and En-
forcemont, E. E. McLin, Director.
Division Public Education, j. H.
Whitney, Director.
Division Conservation Mrs. John T.
Fuller, Director.
Division Homo Econimics, Miss
Agnes E. Harris, Director.
Division. Fisheries, A. j. Williams,
Director.
Division Negro Activities, Nathan
B. Young, Director.
Reviewing these Divisions, Mr..
Beacham takes over the cotton seed
matters as he is so familiar with this
subject, that every phase of the in
dustry is perfectly understood by
him, and he is in better position to
handle the various questions that
could be expected of any of his assis-
tants who lack experience in this
field
Col. ]. N Bradshaw, in charge of
the Accounting Division, is able to
draw on an experience of eighteen
years as Clerk of the Court of Orange
County, besides having had years of
experience in banking and in the real
eState and insurance field. He has
also been at the head of Floridas

ed by his service as Food Administra-
tor of Duval County for the past
eight months. This position he re-
signed to take service in the army,
but physical requirements were too
rigid, and he then agreed to accept
the appointment offered him by Mr..
Beacham. Mr.. McLin will have sup
ervision of all legal and enforcement
cases, and in addition takes over the
distribution end of the Food Admin
istration work, this embracing many
subjects that can hardly be enumer-
ated in this brief review.
j. H. Whitney, as Director of Pub
lie Education, continues in charge
OF the educational work, having
served with Administrator Beacham
as Director of Education and Execu.
tive Secretary since the opening Of
the Food Administration Pledge Card
Campaign last November. The Di
vision of Public Education embraces
a vast number of subjects, weaving
into and through each of the other
departments, for the purpose of get.
ting before the public all information
necessary to the proper education of
the county food administrators, the
and the public in general.
Mrs. John T. Fuller, as Director of
Conservation will continue the able
work she has already instituted. and
with the excellent organization she
has built up will carry the effort of
voluntary activity direct to the home
or the women of Florida. Mrs. Full
er Will cooperate with the Depart.
ment of Home Economics, and will
lend her efforts to increasing the
scope of work SO that united force
will be created among hundreds Of
women who have not as yet taken
active part in food conservation.
Miss Agnes e. Harris, as Director

Introduction to the public in this
particular field, for as the State Di
rector of Home Economics under the
U. 5. Department of Agriculture, she
has built up in this State an organi-
cation that is the envy of other
States, and has been preeminentlv
successful in the education of the
women OF Florida along lines of
Home Economics which mean so
much to the country at this time.
Miss Harris will be most effective
force in the new organization, or the
new system, which after all is only
greater cooperation of Administra.
