QUESTION OF BossING

Judging by the editorials and news
stories that have appeared in Miami news
papers, the people of that city are hct-col-
Jared over the fact that they must deal. in
OPA matters, with state headquarters Ia
Jacksonville. Miamians have been wont .
say, if again we are to judge by at least ore
of their newspapers, Miami and Florida =
as though Miami were thing apart, and
Miamians spurn the idea of having 20
knuckie to anybody
We don't blame them, or the people of
any other city, for entertaining that feeling
but, in entertaining it, they should show far
more consideration than they do toward
their neighbors
Miamians have been fortunate in this
matter of rationing of foods. Time and time
again, since the first rationing edct was is
sued, Miami retail and wholesale houses
have had an abundance of foodstuffs, some
of which have not been obtainable in Kew
West.
AT present one may buy all the con-
densed and evaporated milk one wishes in
Miami, as well as various kinds of meat.
which ere not in stock in the stores of Key
West What is Miami's attitude toward us?
1t is epitomized in that remark of one of her
wholesale solicitors, why bother to 90 TO
Key West when we can sell all our stuff just
around the corner?'
How do Miamianss t hinkwe feel about
that attitude? They may get the answer by
asking themselves how they would feel were
they placed in similar position.
We, in Key West, have something to
complain about, but Miami's squirming and
iu.ning, because she is bossed by Jackson
vile, is of nc consequence, in view OF the
fact that she gets all the foodstuffs she
needs within<the regulations set up by the
OPA and applicable to the entire United
States But Miami complains because she
can't be the boss and Miami weekly sends
doleful letter, concerning her having to
submit to Jacksonville, to Frentiss NJ Brown,
the OPA director.
AS for us. we don't care who bosses US
provided we get our fair share of the food,
stuffs. But we have not been getting, and
still are not getting, cur fair share, and,
therefore, there is substance to our COM
plant; it is not related in any way to jeal-
ousy, as is Miami's against Jacksonville.
Give us this day our daily bread in.
the same volume as it is given to Miamians,
and we won't complain over Miami's or
Jacksonvlle's bossing us.

Food shortages are predicted for
the duration of the war. Home
grown vegetables, and home-canned
or stored vegetables, will enable
your family to have adequate food
supply despite shortage and ration
ing.
Every garden, no matter how
small or how large, should be plan
ned on paper before planting to OBJ
tain an adequate variety of the
necessary vegetables thruout the
season. By following simple plan,
succession of two or three crops a
season may be grown in each row.
Only those with suitable plots of
ground should attempt Victory Gar
dens. Always avoid shade, tree
roots, poorly drained ground, heavy
clay soils and fills of rubbish.
Since many persons who would
like to raise garden will not have
a suitable lot for Victory Garden,
they should contact the Bluffton
High school office where applications
will be accepted for the free lots
supplied by the Bluffton Lions club.
The Lions club will obtain land
and plow and harrow the soil for at
least so Bluffton residents desiring
to raise a Victory Garden.
Victory Gardens should be planted
"as soon as the ground can be
worked" That means when the soil
is sufficiently dry to be spaded, or
plowed, or prepared for planting.
As rule, in this area some plant
ing can be done by April Is to April

Farmers Will Need Permits To Sell
Meat From Home Butchered Livestock

requires dealers to keep accurate rec
ords of all purchases and sales of
livestock, showing the name and ad-
dress of the buyer and of the seller,
the number and weight of each kind
of livestock, and the price paid or re
ceived. The records regularly kept
by dealers or agents who are men,
bers of posted livestock exchanges
are considered adequate for this pur-
pose. 1t also requires dealers to
make a complete inventory of the
number and estimated weight of each
kind of animal on hand April l.
Food Distribution No. 27 requires
everyone who kills livestock for sale,
to obtain a permit. In addition, this
order requires slaughterers to mark
their permit number on each whole
sale cut of the whole or cut carcass,
unless they are operating under fed
eral, state, city or county inspection,
and have an established number. In
the latter case they may use the es-
tablishment number for an Identify
ing mark.

Lima, Capital City Of Peru, Still
Has Much OF Influence Of Old Spain

of directly across the Atlantic to
Cadiz.
Many of the vestiges of the colon
ial era are still in evidence in the
Lima of today. There are still the
narrow streets typical of every Span
ish-designed town. Some of the pal
aces built by the colonial nobility
are still standing, few of them oc-
cupied by government offices. Most
famous of these is the Torre-Tagle
Palace, with its colorful tiles and
beautifully carved beamed ceilings of
heavy dark wood, which today houses
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Likewise, the Palace of the Inquisi-
ton. where in colonial days the in
quisitor held his tribunal and sought
to root our heresy, is now the cham
Der of the Peruvian Senate.
How many readers of Thornton
Wilder's Bridge of San Luis Rey'
have walked in fancy from the
famous Plaza de Armas of Lima
across the bridge spanning the river
Rimas, to the home of la Peril
choli', principal character in this
best seller of a few years ago. The
house occupied by this famous act
ress, favorite of the viceroy of her
time, still stands in that part of
Lima which was the center of colon
ial life.
The Lima of today by no means
lives in the past. Tradition is pres
ent and the picturesque is to be en-
countered on every hand. But today
they must be sought after; they are
not as evident as they were few
years ago. Modern Lima has far
outgrown its colonial limits; from a
restricted area situated originally
seven miles inland from the port of
Callao, the metropolitan district now
extends to and runs along the coast
for many miles. In striking contrast
to the narrow streets of the older
section of the town, which are today
given over largely to business, are
the broader avenues that extend In
every direction. These suburban dis
tricts, lined with spacious, colorful
houses and tall, stately trees, have
become the residential section of the
Peruvian capital. Lima today repre-
sents an admirable blending of a
glorious past, a prosperous present,
and an even more brilliant future.

The BIufton Neacs presents
another IN the series of import
ant but lesser k7oUn aspects OF
South Americd.-EDIToR.
Lima, 4sthe noble, distinguished,
and very loyal city of the Kings,
richly deserves the name thus con-
ferred upon it by its founders. To-
day capital of the Republic of Peru,
it was for nearly three hundred
years the center of Spanish power in
South America, the seat of govern
ment for all the territory of the Con-
tinent except the Portugese-speaking
colony of Brazil and of Venezuela.
The head of government was the
Viceroy-the Vice-king, the personal
representative of the king of Spain
himself-and his court possessed all
the color, the glamour and the pan
oply of royalty itself.
But Lima was more than a po-
litical capital. 1t was also the in
tellectual and commercial center Of
Spain's empire in South America
Here was established the first uni
versity on the Continent, the famous
University of San Marcos, founded
in 1851, a hundred years before Har-
ward. Here the nobility built their
palaces, with large patios, and or
nately carved balconies overlooking
the streets. Here also were erected
some of the earliest and most famous
cathedrals and churches, among them
the Cathedral of Lima, the corner
stone of which was laid by the con-
queror himself, Francisco Pizarro in
1886, the very year in which the
city itself was founded; and all of
them richly decorated in gold and
silver ornaments, realigious paintings
and intricate wood carvings.
Through Lima passed the wealth
of the colonies on its way to Spain.
Huge trading houses developed, and
from every section of the Continent
came gold and silver and other pro-
ducts of the soil destined for the
mother country. So powerful was
the influence of Lima that for many
years after the development of Bue-
nos Aires and other ports on the
Atlantic, the trade of Argentina had
to go by way of Peru, the Pacific
and the isthmus of Panama, instead
