farm electrification conference.
In planning the wiring for a farm,
Ritz declared, the average farm
must be considered as an indus
trial plant, a production and proc
essing plant for products. The
greater the degree of processing per-
formed en- any farm, the greater is
the return in terms of farm income,
he explained.

Larger capacity service entrances,
heavier conductors to farmstead
buildings and also for serving the
higher horsepower motors now be-

circuits and more attention to bal

needs Of farm wiring systems to-
day, RIFT said.

both drivers equally RESPONSIBLE :
one for negligence and the other
for failure or inability to stop.

we learn of the breaking, entering
and looting of three public schools
on the Shore. The Seaford Central

WHY NOT NOW?

/ A city ordinance prohibits shooting in
the city limits, but scores of boys may
be seen any day, after school is out, and
all day on Saturday and Sunday, walking
about the streets with BIB air guns, sling
shots, or .22 rifles.
So far as The Citizen knows, not one
of the boys has been arrested for violat-
ing the law. 1t has been many day since
shooting in the city limits has been so
widespread as it is ct present and done
so openly without the least restraint on
the part of the police. ".
/ When the boys see a, bird, they shoot
at it without any thought where the shots
will go. Shots rip through trees in back
yards and clatter against houses. Not even
front porches are respected by the shoot
erS. .}nif35f
Aside from the open violation of the
law, the boys are killing some birds, such
as mockingbirds, that are songsters and
others that eat insects, such as chipchips
and finches.
The Citizen does not think it is exag-
gerating when it says Key West is the
only city in the United States where pro-
miscuous shooting is going on without
any effort of the police, so far as The
Citizen has been told, to stop it.
The blame should not be placed on the
boys alone for violating the ordinance
against shooting in the city. Primarily,
their parents should shoulder the blame
for buying their sons guns and permitting
them to shoot as they please.
Several Key Westers, back some years
ago. were struck by bullets. fired by boys,
and three of those Key Westers lost an
eye each. When those accidents occurred,
the police busted themselves in stopping
the shooting. Why not stop it now, before
somebody else is shot?

MONOGRAPH
NO RECORDS AFTER 1s47

g The making of recordings and tran
4scriptions for use by broadcasters, phono-
graphs and juke.boxes has been banned
Tby the Executive Board of the American
Federation of Musicians.
= This means. that after December 31st,
when the ban goes into effect, there will
..be no new recordings for broadcast, home
use, juke-bcxes or any other puspose. The
edict carries serious implications for the
makers of records as we'll as the users
of them. ~
- 1t will be recalled that in August,
1892, the union put ban on record-mak-
ing which lasted until November, 1914.
During the period, record companies re-
issued old discs and brought back into ia
.vor many old popular songs The twenty
seven month ban was terminated by
Contract under which the union received
royalty from the sale of records which
amounted to about 100000 year.
-, This contract cannot be renewed for
next year under the Taft-Hartley Labor
Act. Consequently the union, through a
vote of its directors, has decided that
its members will go out of the business of
making recordings. The Labor law, design
Led to help broadcasters and record-mak-
.v,ers, outlawed the union-administered well
fare fund and, as result, the union will
place ban which may be permanent.
' e. James c. Petrillo president of the
musicians union, says that the members of
1.-THE union are determined ,"once and for
..all that they will not make the instru-
f:ment that will eventually destroy them.
They realize that in making recordings
land transcriptions, they are making
their own competition, which would de-
...stroy them"
- -" The argument of the union is that
every time recording is made, there is
less demand for live musicians. If an or
'schestra, for example, makes recording
land the record-makers sell thousands of
the records, there is obviously music with
out the presence or employment of addi-
