FERA PROJECTS
HERE GETTING
ALONG NICELY
COMMUNITY HOUSE AND AU-
DIToRIUM WILL BE AMONG
MAIN PROJECTS IN NEW
PROGRAM OF ACTIVITIES

Work on all projects in Monroe
county under the FERA are pro-
crossing nicely. it was learned to-
day, and officials of the local body
are now concentrating on new pro-
jects to be requested at once.
Chief among these proposed
new ones is the community house
and auditorium. This matter has
been under consideration for some
time and it is believed the prOpo-
sition will receive the approval of
the officials in Washington and
Florida.
Other cities have had like pro-
jects approved and it is proposed
to ask for practically the same
amount as that allowed another
east coast city, approximately
$4,000.
With this approved and work
started and others that will be ask
ed for, including the airport, an
outline of activities will be in evil
dence that will keep many work
men busy in this county for
months.
1t is expected that the sponge
dock will be completed within a
few days, except that some exca-
waiting will be necessary in order
to permit the large sized vessels
begthihg at the pier head.
Work on the aquarium is going
ahead and today the forms are in
place for pouring the concrete to
complete. the facade, Much of
the concrete work remains to be
completed, it was said today, but if
the plate glass for tanks, pump
ing arrangements and rubber gas
kets were on hand, the project
could be finished in about two
months.
All of the glass. pumps and
other appurentances have been or
dered and bids for furnishing them
called for. The gaSkets are yet
10 be ordered but will be at once,
it was said.

Now that the, autOmObiIe strike
threat has been dissipated by pres
idential action, the Wagner labor
board bill became more the focus
today with the manufacturers of
the world denouncing it as "un-
sound"
On many tongues as the SEN
ate and house proper dealt with
other matters was the question
of what effect will the terms of
the Roosevelt automobile settle
ment have on the Wagner bill.
The legislation would outlaw
company unions. Such unions are
acknowledged as regular under a
plan accepted by principals to
the quarrel in the motor industry.

mile ahead on a road Her vital
ity drew people and things to her.
OF course, there is no doubt that
she was one out of a thousand
girls. combining looks with level
headed judgment Of people and
ability to control them to her own
ends.
We were on boulevard leading
out of town, having had our cof-
fee. She looked over her shoulder.
"a cars coming, and it's going

IT stopped, and a man in q
Il chauffeur's uniform tipped his
hat.
- "Glad for a ride" Marion told
him. We're walking to the north
pole before breakfast just for ex-
erciSe."
He smiled. Marion guided the
conversation. 1t turned cut that
this was his own car, which he
used for sightseeing tours and
that he was on his way to Jack
sonville. Within an hour we were
also on our way to Jacksonville,
having first been given breakfast.
That night we slept in the car,
parked near a tourists rest, while
the driver took cabin, and incl
dentally took his keys with him.
He left us the next day in jack
sonville near the Y. W., having
first given us breakfast, and hav-
ing thanked us for the pleasure of
our company.
You must admit I know how to

we're going to let you pick one.

Sure It's a Bad Example

ONLY the other morning my one good eye was
- smote with large type which said, Seven Lind
bergh Notes Given to the Nazis" Now quite natur-
ally interpreted this slogan meaning that certain
Of the ransom money had been sent to Germany as
contribution to the Hitler cause. But when had
read to me the smaller type it turned out to say
nothing than that some of the marked bills
had been picked up among the beer halls Of York
vile. To be blunt, meaningless circumstance had
been built up into big letters in order to make
headiner's holiday
The example picked is a gross one. But unfor-
tunately the same rule holds true in very many
newspapers The label is greater than the contents.
I used to be a copy reader once myself and a very
inefficient 1 understand the urge of every
body a desk to cry his wares little more loudly
than the situation warrants Indeed, it is unfair
to ascribe this tendency TO the individual reader.
The whole trend Of modern journalistic practice is
reflected in the attempt to sell papers by the brave
display Of stalwart and significant black type.
The war moved headlines into the higher
brackets. The reader came to feel that anything
less than an eight column streamer hardly was
worth his attention. Deation hit practically every
thing but headline type. I would like to see our
papers go back to the golden standard Of making the
tale and the title hitch up in all particulars.
And so I will be glad to have both eyes returned
to me so that may adventure into the dark con-
Thence of agate. I particularly anxious for

sympathy. 1t is assumed first of all that he has
been a fight and people wait with skeptic eager
ness to hear me spring something about doorknob
