CRIMINAL COURT
ENDS IT'S TERM
THIRTY-SEVEN CASES HAN
DIED IN TWO-DAY
SESSION

Judge William v. Albury ad-
journed the Monroe County Grim
inal Court of Record at 4:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon, after
a session of two days, during
which 81 cases were disposed Of
After complimenting the iury
for their promptness and eff
cheney, Judge Albury stated tn At
he was aware that some of them
were engaged in defense work,
and that their attendance in court
not only meant the loss of money
TO them but also the curtailment
of defense work, and for those rea-
sons he had endeavored to keep
them away from work for as short
a time as possible.
He also explained that if had
been essential TO summons them
for jury duty. because, with 81
many men engaged in defe7Se
work, it would be well-nigh i'm
possible for the court to function
without summoning some Of them
for jury duty.
Il don't know if we have made
a record" the judge commented,
land / am not concerned with that
phase of the matter, but ! do know
we have handled 81 csses in two
days and have accorded to the de-
PENDANTS all rights provided for
them by the law. The fact is, we
have done efficiently in two days
work that ordinarily would have
required a week"

reached that point, Mayor Albury
said, where he feels justified in
employing a civil engineer to
make a survey of the site and to
arrange for its elevation, should
that be necessary.
When the city made its applica-
ton little more than a year ago,
the mayor explained, the inten-
ton was to erect a three-Story
structure at cost of $24l 900, but
plans have been changed to con-
form with the structures that the
government has set up as result
of the war. The three story build
ing that was proposed at first
would require elevators, on which
priorities must be obtained from
the, War Production Board, and
much more steel on which there
are prioritieS also, than will be
used under the reversed plans.
The building that it is intended
to construct will be only one
story and will, as Mayor Albury
stated, be spread out" over much
more ground. AS the city expects
to obtain equipment from the Ma
rine Hospital after it is closed, he
estimates that the expenditure by
the Federal Works Agency. will
total about S150,000. s.,s "a
Mayor Albury expects to have
conferences shortly with Colonel
Osincup and Director Ray, and
will make trip to Orlando and
Atlanta to see them.

'Stroifiockef'
NC for US,
Morse Says

Washington, April 24-America's
war economy "is a dynamic one
and cannot be controlled by eco
nomic straitjackets," Dean Wayne
Morse, public member of the War
Labor Board, said here this week
calling for a straight ~ cents an
hour increase for $4,000 west coast
workers In place of the is cents
given by the Board majority.
This writer has taken the posi-
ton over and over again that fiex-
ible principles must be applied in
controlling and regulating wartime
wage policies" Morse said.
Sharply advising the Board ma
jority to go to the Pacific North
west woods and see for themselves
"tha cost of living problems which
confront these workers." Morse de-
clared that the 10-cent figure was
amply justified by the conditions
under which timber workers live
and work and added that the in
crease would be used only for the
barest necessities of health for
maximum production.
Morse's opinion was underlined
by recent warnings of War Produc-
ton Board officials that the lum-
Der shortage, already acute and
threatening to become even more
serious, Is hampering production
of the materials needed for war.
He also pointed out that the
Board decision was not governed
by the Presidents freeze order of
last week since the case was Until
ated some time ago.

The union stated that although

on the importance Of protecting
the welfare Of all our children in
wartime, and second, we must
arouse our communities and our
nation to the special urgency of
adequate care for the children of
working mothers.
"'Save the Children Week be-
gins May /, Child Health Day,
which Is dedicated to the Presi-
dents proclamation to recognition
Of the vital Importance of the
health of the children to the
strength of the nation" she said.
"In this war emergency the
health Of our children can only
be safeguarded by community ac-
ton. Hundreds of thousands
more must work In order to meet
rising living costs or to supple
ment the meagre allowance to
wives and children Of service
men.
For over a year the Congress
of Women's Auxiliaries has been
calling for establishment of child
care facilities as an essential war
welfare measure. We have point
ed to the experience of Britain
where public facilities care for
hundreds of thousands of children
of working mothers. We have
worked for establishment of SINH
lar facilities here so that women
can give their best work to the
war effort, secure in the knowledge
that their children are cared for.

tinues the policy of the discredited
Maxon in making price control
safe for business. In statement to

Contrary to the Presidents

that the Price Administration will
make every effort to avoid subsi-

CONAN edicts aimed at freezing

Corn Price Raised

The ink was scarcely dry on the
Presidents executive order when
an increase in the price Of feed
corn was authorized by the OPA
and the Food Administration. This
increase. accomplishing much of
the purpose Of the vetoed Bankhead
Bill. was authorized despite the
Presidents solemn assurance that
mo further price increases are to
be sanctioned unless imperatively
required by law"
The explanation that this Is q
readjustment I'm price relation
ships which will not increase the
cost Of living Is scarcely con-
vincing. In view of the attitude
Of Congress towards subsidy pay
ments, Il Is only too likely to
result In an increase I'm living
costs.
A fragrant increase In retail meat
prices, which was scheduled to go
into effect on April IS, was tempo
rarily averted as a result of labor
protests. But In view Of the in
trenchment of trade interests in the
OPA organization and the extreme
reluctance Of Food Administrator
Davis to agree to ceilings on live
stock, this victory may prove short
lived.
Repeatedly since April 8 Food
Administrator Davis has declared
that he will not authorize the Price
Administrator to put ceilings on
hogs and beef cattle II he can pos
sibly avoid It. The President or

DAILY SHARE OF PROTEINS
If you have one pint of milk, one
egg. one serving of lean meat. poul.
try or tish-plus the breads, cereals
and vegetables you ordinarily eat
during the day, you'll get your
daily quota Of proteins.
Dried peas and beans are often
suggested as meat substitutes.
Actually, although these are good
sources Of protein, they do not
furnish the complete proteins Of
meat. When using beans or peas,
plan to have milk or cheese dur
Ing the day to fill In your daily

Don't count on bacon to sup
ply your protein. Think Of bacon
more as a supply Of fuel for your
body because Of Its high fat con-
tent. 1t will take about ten slices
Of bacon to supply the protein OF
one ounce of meat.
Mothers should keep in mind that
growing children especially need
more protein than adults because
protein Is directly connected with
growth. In the adult, the protein
is used mainly for maintenance

preparing food that's filling. Plenty
of macaroni or starchy foods could
take care of that. It's really ques-
ton Of keeping the body supplied
with the proper nourishment
needed to maintain good health.
And meat Is one important food
that does that job.
To know what foods to use Is
substitutes for the food value Of
meats, we ought to know first
what it Is that makes meat such
an important part Of our diet.
Meat Is one of our main sources
Of protein. Protein Is especially
needed in building the soft It's
sues Of the body. 1t is an import
ant part of all living tissue In
plants and animals. Since all food
comes from plants or animals,
some protein will be found In al
most all foods.
Yet, not all protelnS are OF equaI
value to the body. Proteins are
made up of several different amino
acids. However. not all proteins
contain all OF these amino acids.
Those proteins that contain all the
amino acids are called Complete
Proteins." The "Iincomplete Pro-
teins" are those proteins that con-
tain only some of the amino acids

Ing the cost Of living.
The only explanation that has
been offered for this failure to
comply with the Presidents order
is that livestock ceilings may be
difficult to administer. But this
explanation Is itself condemned
by the Presidents statement that
"the only way to hold the line Is
to stop trying to find justification
for not holding It here and not
holding it there"
The statements of responsible
OPA officials since the Presidents
order indicate that OPA will con-
tinue to administer price control
with q view to helping business
rather than the hard-pressed con-
sumer. Price Administrator Brown
continues his filibuster against his
own order for the grade labelling
for canned goods. Because Of the
Gamers pressure, he now processes
doubt as to his authority to pre-
vent the evasion of price ceilings
by tying prices to grades, and wants
Congress to pass new legislation on
the subject. We are not going to
win the battle against imitation by
conducting an administrative fill
buster whenever trade groups OBJ
iect to price control enforcement.

possesses was cited as an example.
SCHOOL LUNCH STOPPED
The committee sharply criticized
Davis and the Dept. of Agriculture
for dropping the school lunch and
penny milk projects, which Chair
man ]. Raymond Walsh described
as declaring war on the children"
This program, according to COM
mittee member Donald L. Mont
gomery, has served more than five
million children of low income
families. with free lunches in schools
and has given millions of workers
kids chance to get a half pint of
milk a day at a cost to them Of one

pointing out that this was a par

mended that a beginning be made
