Says War Time
Requires Stricter
Rotionin9 Rules

Three months ago, when it looked
as if the European war might end
overnight, it was hoped that heavy
Government requirements for but
ter. cheese and other dairy products,
might begin tapering off, and that
allotments for the home front might
be increased But today. as the
fighting grows fiercer, it is clear
that military needs for all food
supplies will continue heavy for a
long time to come. And it is clear
that if all American families are to
be reasonably sure Of having an
equal chance to buy their fair share
of butter. however small, the ra-
tioning program must be frightened.
That's the reason butter has been
raised to "a points pound.
Butter stocks for us at home are
at an all-time low for the war pc
Rod. There's not enough butter to
get even minimum stock in many
stores. Experience shows that we
need to have around 40 million
pounds in order that butter will
be on store shelves. Today we are
far short of that. Three-fourths Of
the stores in large eastern cities
have been out of butter more than
half the time That's why the point
value of butter has gone up a notch
to hold down buying until we
have enough butter to build up
stocks so we can all share what we
have none fairly. This butter scar
city is due not only to greatly IN
creased Government needs for dairy
products other than butter, but be-
cause of the record amounts Of milk
we on the home front are drinking
Last year, for example, the aver
age American drank almost three
quarts Of milk a month more than
before the war.

which their son, Corporal Newell
V. Plnder, who will have been

Corporal Pinder joined the
army before this country's en-
trance in the war. He thought
he had Joined for one year, but
the backstab at Pearl Harbor oc-
CURED before he had served that
time, so he was kept in service.
He has been in the Aleutians

EASTER SEAL
SALE STARTED
CAMPAIGN KITS AND SEALS
ARE NOW BEING
MAILED OUT

TAMPA, Mar. Is, FNSl.-Tho
18th annual Easter Seal sale got
under way this week, with the
mailing of campaign kits and
quantities Of the gaily colored
seals to county chairmen through
out the state, it was announced
by Mrs Louise TriQa. executive
secretary Of the Florida Associa-
ton for Crippled Children and
Adults.
DR.. Sherman K. Smith, presi-
dent of the HillSborough County
unit of the state and national or
carnations, pointed out that con-
tributions from the sale of seals
will be used to provide medical,
surgical and educational assist
ance for the crippled.
"A few dollars wisely spent on
a child during his educational pc
Rod may save years of the tax
payers money in institutions. The
child who is not saved for an
economic world OF his own, be
comes a burden on the taxpayer
for the rest Of his normal life, ="
he said.
DR.. Smith stressed the fact that
every child who, through medi-
cal, surgical and educational help,
can be rahabilitated to an earn
ing capacity. passes out through
his own efforts from the spon-
Sorohip Of lne taxpayer.
In Florida the Crippled Chill
dren's Association, an affiliate of
the national organization, is ac-
tive in schools and with teachers
in helping the crippled and es-
tablishing tests for the hard of
hearing.
Cooperating in the national
Seal Sale, county groups sponsor
local sales and in counties where
such local organizations have not
yet been established, the state
and national bodies carry on the
work.

NO CHANGE In
CUSTODIANSHIP
OF MACHINES
PRESENT SUPERVISOR OF
REGISTRATION TO BE IN
CHARGE OF VOTING MACH
INES

The Citizen was informed to-
day that the proposal to vest the
craftsmanship of the II Monroe
County voting machines in the
county commission by legisla-
tive act will not be put in effect.
The Citizen informant said:
'"The Florida law specifically
makes county supervisors GUS
todians of voting machines, and
there is no reason why the sup
erviSor of Monroe County should
be an exception. Giving his
physical condition. as an ex-
cuSe, is altogether beside the
point, because that condition
does not prevent him from per-
forming effectively his duties as
supervisor and it will not pre-
vent him from performing his
duties effectively as custodian or
the machines:
Let US assume that special
legislation placed the custody of
the machines in the county COM
missionerS, wouldn't they appoint
an assistant custodian? Well,
can't the supervisor do the same
thing? Further, nobody can say
that the present supervisor since
he has been in office has played
politics. He has been fair and
square to everybody, and we
need a man like him to continue
that fairnes and squareness in
being custodian of the voting
While l accuse nobody
of playing politics in trying to
have the change made, yet let's
keep the mahines completely out
of any sphere of influence where
politics could be played; let us
leave their custodianship in the
supervisors hands, as is, done in
every other county in the state.

Smiley doesn't exactly weep
