humor some person broke the glass
protector on fire alarm Box 342 at

false and the apparatus returned
to the several stations.
Fire in a pile of boxes in the
rear of grocery store on Packer
street called out the apparatus at
10 o'clock this morning. The
flames were extinguished with use
of the pumps.
AT $3.50 o'clock yesterday after
noon a telephone call summoned
engines from No. / station to fire
in the vicinity of the Wardlow
residence on the county road.
Reaching the scene it was seen that
bushes were burning but would not
place any of the property in the
vicinity in danger.
Another telephone call at s:45
last night called the apparatus TO
the F. E. c. R'y. station. Arriving
there it was seen that the fire was
at the old air station. The engines
were sent there and found the

would be a reallocation of funds
with a certain amount returned to
the various communities from
which it would be exacted.

DR.. William r. Warren were also
heard favoring federal sales tax,
giving their views along these
lines. Mayor Malone also told of

WARM SPRINGS, Feb. 2.
A gigantic experiment to
provide 100000 jobs and
herald the birth of a new
America from which the
curse of unemployment may
be lifted, was proposed to-
day by President elect
Roosevelt.
The rugged highlands
and fertile industrial valley
of Tennessee watershed was
chosen by Roosevelt for this
''most interesting expert
ment the government has
ever undertaken.
His dream calls for a vast
internal development en-
comprising reforestation,
reclamation, water power
and agricultural rehabilita-
ton. His aim is to balance
national population anew
between cities and country.
Roosevelt also hopes to
carry the scheme into other
sections from the Allie
ghanies to the Pacific coast
and through it re-establish
American life on basis that
will mean the end of UNI
employment.
Decentralization of indus
try and people will be pro-
tected by the watchful eye

matters discussed at the meeting

costing that witnesses be summon
ed on the day they are to appear
in court to testify.
Mr.. Porter voiced the opinion
that unless it is possible to conduct
the affairs and operations of GRIM

here.
Another condition, the an
nohncement said, IS the heavy Or
ders for eggs to be used in the
Civilian CONSERVATION Corps. for
estry camps. The camps buy eggs
in case lots, and the average camp
orders nine cases a week. A case
contains 80 dozen.
Eggs produced in other states
and shipped into Florida must be
labelled with the name of the
state, the date of packing, and the
weight per dozen. The inspec-
ton division said heavy shipments
of eggs are being received in
Florida from Georgia, Tennessee,
Texas and other states.
There is no shortage of eggs, it
was pointed out. The slim supply
exists only in the classification of
fresh eggs produced in Florida,
which means eggs that have not
been placed in storage.
Storage eggs, and eggs from
other states, must contain a
placard on the container in which
they are offered for sale by re-
tailers.
The inspection division said a
campaign also had been started to
require all hotels and restaurants
to say on their menus whether
eggs they serve are fresh Florida
eggs or shipped eggs.
