Reports Of damage from the re-

indicate that movement OF winter
vegetables from that state will be
seriously curtailed for several
weeks. The Louisiana and Mississin-
pi truck sections also SUSTAINED
severe damage, the crops in some
Sreas being completely wiped out. The

Northern states report consider

In all winter truck areas with the

TO Be AMENDED
Pharmacists Seek to
Strengthen Requirements.

A plan of legislation to strengthen
the requirements for assistant phar-
macists is expected to result from
the two-day conference of the exec
utive committee of the Indiana
Pharmacist Association and the
members of the state board of phar-
macy which closed late Tuesday at
the StatehouSe.
1t was pointed out in the discus
sion that while the Indiana law has
adequate educational requirements
for registered druggists, only one
year of drug store experience Is re-
quired for an assistant.
The state beard revoked the Ii
cenSe of E. M. Hollender of Evans

Those attending the conference
with the board included Wood
