MAKE READY FOR
TOBACCO JUBILEE

LAKE CITY, July 13.-FNS)
Enthusiasm continues to mount
here as preparations go forward
for the second annual Tobacco
Jubilee to be held July Is. Plans
so far matured include a tremen-
dous fish fry, band concerts, adj
dresses by well-known speakers,
a gigantic barbecue, sports events
and a gala dance. Other plans
still in the making will insure
the celebration of being the
grandest thing of its kind ever
staged here.
Last years Jubilee, held to
mark the establishment of the
huge tobacco market here, set a
high point for entertainment
which the officials hope to better
with this second celebration. The
growth of the market has been
spectacular, and it is the ex-
pressed desire of the arrange
ment committee to reflect that
growth in the brilliance and
success of this years Jubilee.
The market sold 3,352,OO0
pounds of tobacco during the
first year, and indications point
to a total of almost twice that
figure for this second season.
State senator Wofford Lindler
is chairman of the committee in
charge of the Tobacco Jubilee.

ZONING

Continued from Page Onel
it should be added in small guam
titles rather than large. This
will produce quicker transition
from one type of use to another.
Also it will tend to leave
shorter periods of uncertainty OF
inconvenience and of deprecated
values. This applies to all types
of uses and it is to be measured
by the speed of growth of the
city, by changing tendencies and
public opinion. These in turn
bring about the evolution of a
city under zoning.
City planning requires an alert
community. The first steps in
zoning demand alertness, as well
as every succeeding step.
'sZoning is the best method SO
far devised for directing build
ing development for the COM
bined purposes of securing safety
from fire and accident, protection
of health, morals, convenience
and general welfare, the sustain
ing of property values and pre-
serving and beautifying cities,
villages and towns"
That is a direct quotation from
Massachusetts, statute law. 1t is
not a theoretical definition, but a
statement based upon what the
Legislature of the Old Bay State
has actually directed cities and
towns of over 10000 population to
do; those below ten thousands in

plussed by the knowledge he'd
need ski landing gear to alight

Airline colleagues merely
turned on hydrant and made
a gooey mud pie, $50 feet long,

cases represented 7,112 children,
or an average grant per child of
$685..
At the first meeting of the
State Welfare Board during the
present fiscal year, to be held
here on July is, the problem of
retrenchment will be gone into
at great length, so that the pro-
gram may be held within the
limit of legislative appropria-
tons. Already known aliens have
been dropped from the rolls, in
conformity with legislative enact
ment and intent, certification for
the w. P. A. has been discon-
tinued, and other economies have
been put into effect.
