TAMPA BRIDGE
NOT JUSTIFIED

Continued from Page One)
ton or condemnation in the
courts.
AT the last session of the Leg
islature the proponents of the
State Road Department proposal
for a third bridge across Tampa
/ Bay made a determined effort to
have the state designate the pro-
posed route of the new bridge as
a state highway. This act did
not pass the legislature, so that
opponents of the scheme do not
believe the State Road Depart
, ment has legal authority to build
I the bridge.
However, the State Road De-
partment is perSisting in its eff
fort Within the last month the
Florida Internal Improvement
Board granted the State Road
Department right-of-way across
Tampa Bay on the theory that it
legally controls state lands under
water. This action was opposed
by the present bridge companies
on the ground that the Internal
Improvement Board has no legal
right to waters below the three
foot level. The waters proposed
to be travereSd by the new
bridge range from one-foot to
about 20 feet deep.
1t was after the lib had given
the State Road Department this
right-of-way that it was an
nounced 100000 was to be ex-
pended in the next fiscal year to
start the work. Certain Hills
borough county interests are re-
-portedly preparing to seek an in
junction in the courts to prevent
allegedly illegal use of the Tam
pa Bay lands.
An effort is to be made to
arouse the weight of opposition
by Monroe county public and civ
ic groups against expenditure OF
public funds for a third bridge
across Tampa Bay, The Citizen
was informed today. This oppO-
sition will be based on the fact
that while a third bridge across
Tampa Bay is not necessary, i'm
provement of Overseas Highway,
including elimination of the
wooden bridges, is imperative.
1t will be pointed out, as The
Citizen recently stressed edito-
rally, that the State Road De-
partment had announced that no
funds would be available for inn
provement of Overseas Highway
because these were absorbed by
reconstruction work following
the freeze throughout Florida
/ last January.
we would like to know how
it is possible for the State
Road Department to appropriate
100000 to start a new bridge
across Tampa Bay after report
ing that il had no funds with
which to improve Overseas High
way, one taxpayer here told

simply suffering from acute i'll

II really found out about this
disease from a study of my own
case. l have a job to do which is
important in the world if only
from the standpoint that l keep
myself and my family off relief.
And that job has nothing to dc
with Hitler, nor Rumania. nor

welt nor finding a source of alu-

nothing I can do personally about
these things right now.
"All in q Tension
This fellow is in the same fix
He has a tidy little job that is his
own, that he is capable of doing.
and that ought to receive a large
part of his attention. He's been
doing it all right until lately when
he found himself getting fatigued
and sleeples' and all 4 a tension.
So he began to take more exercise
and make dates for golf games
dates he had to keep, that kept
hanging ovcr him and preying on
his mind.

Probably you remember that in
''Turnabout" John Hubbard 4 n d
Carole Lands spoke with each 9th
er's voices. That was the simplest
sort of trick with sound film. Fun
nier yet will be some of Frani
Morgan's sequences in "Hullaba-
loo," in which he has the role OF
an imitator. So he goes through
the picture talking in the distinc'
tive tones of various celebrities.
Metro might have put a profes'
sional impersonator into the part
with fair success, but the effects
will be infinitely more startling
and easily identifiable this way
because when Morgan opens his
mouth the voice you hear actually
will be that of the person he's
supposed to be initiating. He car
be Carlo or Mickey L,ooney OF
Wallace Berry or anyone.
An especially good scene should
be the one in which he finds il
expedient to make love to 4 hat
chet-faced old biddy. So he charms
her into a palpitant other by imi
tating the voice of a great screer
lover.
Substitution of d tracks
is an old trick on films for for

to have laboratories in Europe that

match very well with the lip move
ments seen on the screen, yet the
ghostly dubbers became amazingly
clever and audiences didn't mind.
MUSICAL DUBBING
ALWAYS SHUSHED
One thing Latin American audi
ences do mind is the intrusion OF
strange dialects. In Argentina pa
irons will boot at MAxican-Span-
ish. and for that matter, pure Cas-
titan Spanish isn't used conversa-
ionally anywhere south of the Rio
Grande. Also Hollywood d Mt

Portuguese is spoken in Brazil.

besides causing actual resentment
down there. Actually the first film
eve to be properly dubbed for
full South American release is 2Ctt
Fox's forthcoming Californian.
It'll be done in one Portuguese and
six Spanish dialects.
Fearing charges of fakery, Hol-
Iywood always has shushed S
singing voice and other musical
substitutions. Very little vocal dub
bling is necessary these days,
though instrumental performances
are almost always tricked Gf only
for convenience in recording) un-
less the camera is turned on some
famed band or a concert star such
as Jascha Heifetz.
Even at that, in 100 Men and
a Girl" Leopold Stokowski gar
nished his piano playing with an
extra sound track. The music was
all his, but it wasn't all done at
the same time. After he had re-
corded a selection, it was played
back and he accompanied himself
with a few touches of fancy bass
ing and treble flourishes. A COM
bination recording, or one-man du-
ct, was what was heard in the
picture.
REAL
ONE-MAN BAND
In the same way, Nelson Eddy
amused himself on a recording
stage the other day by harmonlz
ing with the playbacks of some OF
his ''Bittersweet" songs. It sound
ed swell, but of ours it won't
be used in the picture. l should
think, though, that such tricks
would be good in comedy, and that
they'd be artistically gratifying as

Looking over a progress map
in the REA it is easy to see what

much rural identification work to

will be in extending presently ex-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
D. M.-"Will you please tell me
what causes mouth ulcers and how
they can be prevented? Is this
condition due to lack of certain
vitamins?"
Answer-"Mouth C e S" is a
broad term. There are many diff
ferent kinds of mouth ulcers that
are caused by m a different
things. l presume, however, that
you mean what are commonly,
called "canker sores" l have new
er seen any proof Of the theory
that these arc caused b, lack of
vitamins. Some people think they
are due to allergy or h~ypersensi-
tlveness, and l published a letter
a little while ago from a dentist
who believed they were due to
lack of minerals and treated them
with calcium salts. They are no.
toriously likely to affect certain
people and return frequently. My
dentist correspondent claimed that
he had been able to prevent their
recurrence in sensitive individuals
by this means.
M. P.-"Can night blindness be
cured? If so, please name the pills
or whatever will help it,"

RALEIGH, Sept. 18.-It seemed
more than passing strange when Di.
rector Harry Slattery Of the Federal
Rural Electrification administration
issued a retraction of charges he had
made against the Carolina Power

to top that.
A federally-financed electric CO.

adopted a resolution lauding that
same Carolina Power and Light
company for its Cooperation"
Here is the text of the resolution
adopted by the directors of the South

whereas in the organization of
the South River Electrical Member
ship Cooperative the various officers
and representatives of the Carolina
Power and Ligh company have dis
played an e~ver-present willingness
to cooperate and have rendered
helpful advice and assistance which
this cooperative has been constantly
mindful of.
BE it, therefore, resolved, that
the board of directors of the South
