New Relief Plans
Ready for Tryout
Among Consumers

WASHINGTON. March 7. (UP)
The governments new plan for
distributing food to relief clients
is being worked out today on a
basis which. in effect, would in
crease the benefits now paid but
would compel recipients TO spend
at least half of their income for
food
Development Of the plan, which
may have far reaching effects on
the relief set-up and whole econo-
mic system, has advanced to the
point that formal announcement
of its introduction on an expert
mental basis is expected in about
a week.
The experiment will be con-
Quoted Jointly by the agriculture
department, the Works Progress
Administration and other relief
agencies. 1t involves free distribu-
ton of food stamps to relief clients
to be exchanged for farm products.
Sponsors of the proposal, which
still is subject to last minute
changes, believe it will increase food
consumption, lift the living stand
ards of those in relief, reduce farm
surpluses and bolster agriculture
price levels.

LINES TO THE FORE
Fort Myers News Press

(FOrt myers news FTeSS)
Versatile Florida has fruits for practically
every season of the year In the summer the call
is for thirst quencher and native lines fill the
BILL Old fashioned lemonade may be better es-
tabshed in other sections of the country but
fountain experts agree that lmeade is far superior
to other fruit "ades' as summer drink.
Since first discovered by the ancient Per-
sians the history of the lime and lemon branches
of the citrus family reads like a romantic trave-
logue These tangy fruits first grew in the
Orient, spread westward by way of the trade
routes, and showed up in Europe in the 18th cen
tury. Spanish adventures brought them to the
new world and then they came to Florida where
horticulturists went to work to improve size,
flavor and juice content of the lines while Cali
fornia experimenters specialized on the lemons.
The most popular lines in Florida of the
Key, Persian and Tahitian varieties Lately the
Perrine lemon is being planted because it COM
bines the best qualities of both fruits. The fact
that superior juice fruit is emerging from
wedding of lines and lemons is appropriate in
asmuch as early writers confused the two families
For many years California has held mo-
nopoly on the lemon business but with new
lemons and improved lines being produced by
Florida growers in larger quantities every year.
the old fashioned lemon with its tissue paper
wrapper will have to look to its laurels on the
fruit stand. Lines have more juice and more
flavor and seem to do more to drink than the
pale yellow lemon. With lines getting the nod at
restaurants bars and soda fountains Florida
growers of this thirst quencher can well afford to
organize and get their share of the hot weather
trade.

AID KEY WEST FISHERMEN

When a strange blight spread across
the floors of the surrounding ocean and
bays last fall it wiped out virtually every
living sponge. Scores of Key West spong-
ers suddenly found themselves on the list
of the unemployed. They turned to fish
ing in an effort to make a living. The re-
suit was the supply of fish exceeded the
local and the regular market demands
The regular fishermen suffered through.
falling markets and an over-supply of fish,.
The spongers could not make decent liv-
ing that way.
Through the efforts of the Chamber
of Commerce and other groups, the plight
of the fishermen and the spongers was
called to the attention of the federal
agencies and congressional representatives
in Washington. The result was that ex-
perts from the Bureau of Fisheries investi-
gated the blight and went away recon-
mending sponge propagation project
which is in the making, while bill was
introduced in Congress to add fish to the
list of commodities that might be dis
ITlDuC0u ny IHG OuI plus OOLlIIIOuIClCo OOI-
poration to relief workers throughout the
nation
Within the last few days, the Cham
Der of Commerce has been advised that
since fish have been added to the list of
surplus commodities for widespread dis
tribution, it is likely federal fish mar
ketng plan may be established in Key
West. 1t is probable, according to re-
ports, that plant for freezing fish and
for shipping the product to northern mar
kets may be set up here. This, it is held,
will not affect the regular marketing
channels, for that would function as at
present 1t would mean simply that sur
plus fish, instead of being destroyed,
would be sold to the Surplus Commodities
Corporation for distribution to persons
holding cards calling for goods at low
prices. The products SO sold are declared
as being a surplus over and above the
regular market demands. The regular
market price for fish is expected to be
stabilized, so that the regular employees of
the large fish companies or independent
fishermen may get better prices in general.
The consumer gets his regular supply OF
fish at fair prices.
If this plan is fully developed here it
will be boon to our fishing industry. The
contamination of the project is another
feather in the caps of those believing that
cooperation and united effort by our civic
organizations can be effective in helping
Key Westers to help themselves.
