ALL-PULLET FLOCK

The all-pullet flock for egg pro-
duction is the thing most general
farms and even for many special
lied poultry farms. Disposing of
mature hens and keeping only the
pullets is particularly practical and
profitable for the small flocks kept
in towns and suburban areas for
supplying eggs and meat for the
family, says T. c. Byerly, poultry
specialist of the u. S. Department
of Agriculture. Pullets are the
best fall and winter layers. Older
hens are most valuable on breed
ing farms that specialize in the
supply of Matching eggs, according

Schools and colleges that must

Grams Administration to pay more
than their usual tuition charges for
these veterans, VA announced this
week.
The adjusted rate, VA said, must
not total more than the schools

New regulations providing for
adjustments in tuition payments
for disabled veterans enrolled und-
er the Vocational Rehabilitation
Act apply only to non-profit, tax
supported institutions, VA said.
VA has provided for the adjust

hobby of thousands in the rais-
ing and identifying of gerani-
ums and begonias. "Geraniums
(pelargoniums)" by Helen Van
Pelt Wilson traces the story of
this hardy species some $50
years back into Europe. She
dates hybrids a century ago and
deals with double -f1owered vari-

Mrs. Wilson, garden editor of

the economics involved in getting

goes into the matter Of a small

MELBOURNE. - A m e r i can
brides in Australia can't take adj
vantage of the can-opener to
produce meal for their Aus
tralian husbands. They've got to
know how to cook to please the
down-under gentlemen.
That's one of the things that
Mrs. Kenneth Shergold, a former
WAC of Lexington, KY, learned
when she moved to Australia.
She says:
australian girls would not
dream of putting canned veg
etables or meat on the table.
They oven bake cakes. pastry.
cookies and biscuits - and
they're all wonderful cooks.
But one of the reasons Amerl-
can girls have such a difficult
time is that things are often
much different here in Australia.
Pumpkin, for instance, is eaten
as vegetable; sweet potato. is
whitish-grey and seldom eaten;
steak and eggs is the favorite
food combination. Flour is self
rising. Mrs. Shergold says:
THE first cake baked in
Australia practically jumped
through the oven roof. I had
added baking powder to the
self rising flour"
Nevertheless Betty Loves Mel
bourne where she lives. Life
seems to move slowly, she says,
and people take things more
easily than do Americans. There
are plenty of picnics and visits
to surf-beaches where a bath
house costs but 8 cents.
And just to make yeur mouth
water, sirloin of beef is only l6
cents a pound; lamb chops are "a
cents a pound. AS a matter OF
fact, Betty finds money goes a
great deal further in Australia
than in the States. She says:
Il can budget for all the house
hold expenses excluding rent, gas
and light on $40 week without
any trouble.

For the purpose of emphasiz-
ing the importance of making
employment available to disabled
veterans, Fons A. Hathaway, Tai
lahassee, State Director of the
United States Employment Serv-
ice, acting in cooperation with
the State Veterans Employment
Representative, r. E. Macdonald,
Palatka, is designating the week
of August SO as placement of
the Disabled Veteran" week.
"The magnitude of the prob
lem can be readily recognized, =
stated Mr.. Hathaway, when we
note that a total of 1924 disabled
veterans, $500 of them World
War II veterans, have made ap-
plication for work at Employ
ment Service offices in the state
during the past six months" Job

period for disabled veterans to-
tailed LILA, including World War
ii veterans.
AT present there are 4,276 dis
abled veterans seeking employ
ment through United States En-
ployment Service offices in Flor
ida. Special effort will be made
during the week of August to
place as many of these applicants
as possible. Hathaway stated
that these applicants are physic-
ally able to fill many jobs, and
in all instances should be as salts
factory employees as those not
handicapped. Physical capacities
appraisal is made on each of the
disabled applicants, so they are
referred only to jobs on which
they will be well qualified and
able to compete with any fully
able bodied worker
Studies have shown that the
disabled workers absentee rate,
as well as his safety record and
labor turnover rate, is much low
er than that of the normal work
er.
Local USES offices in the state
will review the applications of
disabled veterans in their file
and employers in the community
will be contacted in an effort to
make a satisfactory placement.
Hathaway concluded by stating
that employers Throughout the
state have shown commendable
and patriotic spirit in their eff
forts to give employment to the
disabled.

advisable to urge folks to make
advance reservations if possible,

The silly actien Of Georgia OFF,
Gals in placing a ostarantine on
Florida was deplored and secre
taries reported that it resulted il
sharply retarding the summer
, tourist business of Jacksonville
Beach, Daytona Beach. and other
points. It was pointed out that
such a quarantine was never
irfoked but publicity given the
announcement was sufficient to
frighten thousands away who
otherwise would have vacationed
here this summer.
Discussing facilities offe red
motor. tourists, it was brought
out that the conditions of many
rest rooms in the state were dis
graceful. Tourist Bureaus and
Chambers of Commerce reported
more complaints on this score
than ever before and expressed
the hope that something could be
done to rectify the situation be-
fore the heavy influx of motor
j tourists arrived next season.
A representative of the Petror
leum Industries said that com
pany owned and operated filling
stations of such companies as
Gulf. Pure Oil, Standard and
others were inspected regularly
and kept in sanitary condition,
but with no authority over i1de-
pendent stations, it was difficult
to get operators to keep their
places clean. T. B. O'Steen Of the
Florida Greyhound Lines said
the fault was not all on the side
of the local interests and con-
tended that the travelling public
was largely to blame. Operators
of public wash rooms in hotels.
Z
bus stations, tourist camps and
travel terminals have found that
keeping such places clean and
sanitary is one of their most die
ficult problems due primarily to
lack of cooperation on the part of
the travelling public. It was point
ed out that women were the
worst offenders in this respect
and q campaign to educate the
public was advocated.
Altogether the meeting was a
great success. Much constructive
thought was developed and, its
effect will be felt in the better
handling of florida's tourists.
