State Senator Pat Whitaker wants to
be boss of Tampa as stepping stone to his
desire to become governor of Florida. A
setback to his aspirations undoubtedly
are the utility measures he has introduced
without a referendum which would have
given the people of the west coast city an
opportunity to express themselves pro or
cor. Both leading Tampa papers are
feminist the bills, and the directors of
the Chamber of Commerce voted II to 1
against the proposed legislation. The
Jacksonville prognosticator as result I'M
doubtedly will move Pat down peg or
two in his forecasts.

For years l have been listen
ing to tales of tourists and winter
visitors about how Florida sticks
them for hotel accommodations,
for meals and lin other ways, and
while in a few instances such
complaints may be justified I've
found from personal experience,
as have many other Floridians,
that our state is no worse than
lot of other places. l got a big
kick out of listening to Burton
Schoepf, president of Tamiami
Trail Tours, tell me of his ex-
periences in Louisville last week
during the Kentucky Derby.
Being called north on business
he found his schedule would per-
NIT him to stop off and take in
the Derby at Churchill Downs
He arrived in Louisville to find
every hotel filled and had the
| hardest kind of a time getting q
"cubby i,or' of room at the
nominal rate of $20-in fact the
clerk assured him he was lucky
to get even that. Food was as
hard to get as were roomss but
he managed to satisfy his hunger
! with platter of plain old fash
Toned ham and eggs which. set
| him back one buck, and the cof-
fee was extra at 15c a cup, take
it or leave it!
"What?" l asked. mo SC
orange juice?"
I 'If there was anything in Louis
Vile being offered at &c.. he says.
81 didn't run into it". Then he
launched into a description OF his
experience at the race track. The
taxi from his hotel to Churchill
Downs was SIS. All grandstand
seats were sold, so for $2.35 he
got an admission ticket for stand
ing room only.
With some 10000 people mill
ing about the grounds, the prob
lem of finding a vantage point to
view the race was something to
worry about. After being pushed
and showed by the milling mob,
he finally managed to work his
way to within about rs or 80 feet
T of the track, where he was
jammed in so tight it was all he
could do to breathe.
/ BY this time the first race was
on, and, according to Burton, all
he saw of it was the tops of the
| Jockeys caps as they flashed by.
Noting that some folks around
him were standing on boxes to
gain better view, he made in
quiries and managed to rent q
box from a kid for $1.00. Climb
ing up on this for the next race,
he did better. for while he still
couldn't see the horses, he dis
covered that the jockeys had on
blouses as well as caps.
During the excitement of the
race, he had the box knocked
from under him, and before he
could get on his feet again some
body had swiped his foot stool
Trying to see anything over the
vast sea of hats and heads wa:
out of the question, so he pushed
his way to a lunch stand where

bottle of Coca-Cola in the other

Yet, as the variety has mounted on our food

ended at eight or later in the evening! Today
we are able, if we wish, to reckon our meal
preparation in terms of half hours and our
leisure in half days.
Our working hours and the laboriousness of
our work have not, of course, been reduced by
modern methods of paCkaging alone. But
they have helped; and they, too like vacuum
cleaners, mechanical refrigerators, efficient
ranges, and the multitude of smaller modern

GALENTO seen
IN MAJOR co AS
SCR|BES BOOST

NEW YORK, Jan. II G.N.S0.
No heavyweight fighter of recent
vintage has been supported more
vigorously by New York news
papers than Tony Galento, Jerseys
ponderous tavern-keeper, and ap-
parently the weight of printed
words is going to move him into a
headline bout. Joe Jacobs, his
manager and probably the most
aStute boxing man currently in
business, revealed today that he
and Promoter Mike Jacobs had a
conference last night, and that
another is planned for Wednesday.
At that time, it is pretty sure to
predict that Galento will be an
nounced as the opponent of a top
flight fighter, with Joe Louis and
title fight in the offing if he can
score a victory.
1T looks very good finally, is all
I can say now" Joe Jacobs an
nounced. Meantime, Galento will
conclude heavy training today and
slap Jorge Brescia silly on Thurs
day night before an expected
crowd of 10000. in the Newark
IN. j. armory.
Because the Jacobses, Joe and
Mike, currently are engaged in a
personal feud, Galento kO,S been
ignored up to now in heavyweight
plans, but finally with the news
papers clamoring over the thing
and with Galento continuing his
kayo streak, the round-bodied,
sawed-off beer-guzzler has forced
himself into the situation.
