young, her mother taught her to
wash her face with a complexion

No Toll Raise On Bridges,
Proposed Increase Eliminated
MIAMI CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
PROTESTS RAISE in BRIDGE TOLL

1--WE feel that this increase in
tolls will be highly detrimental
to the interests not only of the
financial standing of the project
but definitely to the people of
Key West and the Overseas High
way area and will only serve to
cause less people to make the
trip from Miami to Key West in
the years to come.
In another section Of The Citi-
zen will be found an article
which indicates that the fears of
the travelling public relative to
the increase in tolls are unbound
ed, as a telegram from John r.
Slade, chairman of the commits
sion, to John Costar, vice chair
man, shows that the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation not
having given its approval to the
proposed increase in the tolls, and
therefore the raise will not be
made effective tomorrow.

advised The Citizen that he had
received an order under date of
August 30 that petitions for nat
uralization and matters apper-
tanning thereto will be heard the

Mr.. Gwynn said that for the

We condone the untruths which

zation will do everything we can
to stamp out this practice. sug-
gest you send copy Of the Eus-
tbs letter to various Miami or

URGED
TO BUY DUCK
STAMPS EARLY
BUREAU OF BIOLOGICAL
SURVEY MAKES URGE TO
AVOID LAST MINUTE RUSH
BY spoRTsMEN

The Bureau of Biological Sur
vey today urged all hunters more
than 16 years old to purchase a
migratory bird hunting stamp be-
fore the opening day of the
hunting season to avoid last
minute rush.
In past years. some hunters
have complained because they
were unable to obtain a duck
stamp at the last minute at an
office where the demand had
been heavy. Last year more
than a million stamps were sold.
In 1899 migratory bird shoot
ing regulations, announced re-
Gently by Secretary of the Inte-
,rior Harold L. 1ckes, make Octo-
Der / the first day of the season.
They provide a 45-day period for
.nuntlng.
Hunters who wait in line only
to be turned away are inclined
to blame postal authorities, Sur
vey officials said, ''but actually
the post offices cannot be ex-
pected to cope with situation
that may strike any post office.
| is almost impossible to know
where the sudden large demands
for duck stamps will be, it was
explained. because weather con-
ditions greatly influence a hunt
er's last minute decision. "A
post office may run out of stamps
one year and have only a mild
demand the next, officials said
It was also pointed out that
duck" stamps were placed on
sale on July / to give hunters
ample time TO buy stamp before
the season opens.

Duval county "2n, and the state
office at Tallahassee will use
49,.

is fifty cents for private oper-
ators and inc dollar for chauf-
feurs.
