HINTS GIVEN ON
CURTAILMENT OF
MUCH BUSINESS
SHOWN THAT SMALL BUSI-
NESS OPERATORS IN VA
RIOUS FIELDS WILL BE
FORCED OUT OF BUSINESS

A summation of a number of
recent government reports adds
up to bad news for many of Flor
ida's small business men; but, if
they realize what is coming in
time, they may be able to plan
some way of avoiding disaster.
Almost 5000 Florida retailers
will be forced by material and
labor shortages to close their
doors by the end of 1943, on the
basis of estimates made for the
whole country by the U. S. De-
partment of Commerce.
Dealers in consumer durable
goods furniture, hardware,
electrical household appliances,
etc.-will be hardest hit, with
production in a number of their
lines already stopped and stocks
in wholesalers hands being ex-
hausted rapidly.
More than 10000 persons prob
ably will be released from dis
tributive organizations in Florida
by these closings, which are es-
timated to be over and above
the already high mortality rate"
in this field. Studies of inven-
tories, large segments of which
can not be replaced, reveal that
most of the fatalities" will ne
cessarily be in the small stores
employing only three or four
persons.
In Florida such closings will
follow the pattern set by the
needs of the states newest Gus
tomers-the armed services. Sales
of eating and drinking places are
running so per cent ahead of last
year. Drug stores are so per
cent up, we'll ahead of the aver
age for the country as a whole.
Loss of part of the tourist dollar
will bear heavily on speciality
shops and the already hard-hit

of a measurement of sensation"
Studying this scientific fact, DR..
D'Amour decided it would be of
great value to him in his research
concerning the power of various
analgesics.
Analgesics are the drugs that
deaden pain. In war time they
are of great value on battlefields.
Likewise in war time the supply
of analgesics may be decreased.
And so Professor D'Amour and
assistants were seeking to in
crease the effectiveness of smaller
doses of analgesics by intensity
ing them. This can be done by
various processes.
What he needed for his expert
ments was some yardstick for
measuring sensation; some mus
cular reaction in man or beast
that was as accurate and as de-

ROAD And BRIDGE
WORK WILL START.
AT TWO POINTS
OPERATIONS TO BE CARRIED
ON SIMULTANEOUSLY AT
KEY WEST END AND FLOR
IDA CITY

o. G. Lindsay, a member OF
the State Road Department, says
that the work of reconStructing
the Overseas Highway will be
started simultaneously at the Key
West end and at the beginning of
the road near Florida City.
He was speaking about the
work that will be done under
the direction of the department,
as Cleary Brothers Corporation,
of West Palm Beach, has already
begun to construct some of the
bridges under a contract receiv-
ed from the department.
The latter will build three
short bridges and rebuild and re-
pave 80 miles of roadway. When
the department arranged for the
work, it was stated that the
bridges and roadway will be COM
pleted within a year, and an AS
ISOLATED Press story from ITALIA
hassee about that decision was
published in The Citizen at the
time.
Representatives of the Federal
Bureau of Roads have already
inspected the project, and the
State Road Department has OBJ
tanned bids on material.
In order to avoid having to
contend with labor shortage
that may delay the completion
of the roadway, the State Road
Department is considering en-
ploying, should the occasion
arise, from 100 to $50 prisoners
from Raiford.

the indications are the voting
will be close.
Tonight the County Commis-
sion will meet to make arrange
ments for the final preparation of
the ballot to be voted on in the
November election. Everything
has been prepared, with the ex-
ception of the candidate for con-
stable.
The ballot will be different this
year from what it was at other
elections. If you wish to vote a
straight Democratic ticket, you
will not need to put a mark be-
fore the name of every candidate:
your vote will count for all of
them if you place an X mark in a
circle above the Democratic
ticket.
