and come home for lunch.
The hurricanes didn't do any
damage here. 1 don't know when
ever heard the. wind blow SO hard
(45 miles per hr. off and on) for
sucha long time e days., or heard
or saw such torrential downpours,
but the only damage was to trees.
Palm .fronds were all over the yard,
and the whole lawn was carpeted
with Spanish moss. Schools were
closed the day the storm was to hit
here, but were open the following
day. Most of the storekeepers had
emptied their store windows, but
those were the only signs of the
"cane." Oh yes, the day the. storm
was expected, all the stores sold
out of bread! The Orlando. radio
stations had bulletins every fifteen
minutes charting the course of the
storm.
The weather is grand. Cool
enough at night for a quilt or sin
gle wooden blanket, but warm
enough in the daytime for summer
dresses. s@
/ am enclosing clipping from
the town paper which might give
the commissioners a few more ideas
for raising money. All the commits
sioners here are Democrats, but
they are of two different factions.
Incidentally, electricity already has
some sort of a town tax--25 cents
of our last bill was listed as town
tax.

You know the label .color add
ed" on the oranges you get in the
north? Well found out yesterday
how that is done. Oranges are
judged by certain government
standards as to sugar content.
They may be green as a lime, and
yet sweet enough to sell. So, they
are put in a gas chamber overnight,
and the next day they are dyed
orange and stamped, and they are
ready for shipment. The greenish
looking ones are sold here because
people know they are oranges and
know the flavor is better because
they aren't treated. OF course, they
do turn orange eventually, and a
lot of trees are turning now.
Leaves don't turn color here in
the fall. They stay on trees until
they are pushed off by the new
leaves in March.

Mandate for Veto
Reaches New Record
Breaking Totals

Washington, d. C.-Protests against the Taft-Hartley bill
and demands that President Truman veto it are flooding the
White House, which reported a record breaking volume OF
mail.
Thus the voice of labor is being heard in Washington, heard
in the White House. 1t constitutes a mighty and impressive
mandate against the legislation.
On the day that the Taft-Hartley mild as murder bill
reached the White House, Eden Ayers, presidential press aide,
announced officially that a torrent of letters and post cards
is pouring in upon President Truman with increasing momen-
tum. He said 100000 post cards, 100000 letters already have
been received, besides thousands of kilograms. In the last
weekend alone, $4,000 letters and 1000 kilograms were
dumped at the White House door.
"Thc great majority' Of these communications from the peo-
pie back home appeal for a veto Of the Taft Hartley bill, Mr..
Ayers said.

SUPPRESSED

Because they refused to keep their agreement to cease
illegal price fixing, six major manufacturers of electric
wire and cable were fined a total of $4,000 in New York
Federal Court May %. Not a line appeared in any of the
New York papers. The companies were General Electric,
Anaconda Wire & Gable, Phelps-Dodge Copper Products
Co, General Cable Corp; Okonite Co., and American Steel
& Wire Company.
Prosecuted by the Justice Department at the request
of the Federal Trade Commission, the complaint charged
that the companies, as members of the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association, had agreed to stop a price-fix-
ing conspiracy, but that these six violated the agreement
after making it. The fine was the largest ever recovered
in a civil penalty suit for violation of an ETC cease and
desist order, but was a fraction of the illegal profit made
by the six violators.

facts are attested by Count Michael karoyi, universally re-

Hungary has not been taken over by the Russians. Her
government has not. been snatched by Communists. Pres. FOL
