Board Of Health Requests
Clean Rest Rooms

Florida State Board of Health
working through local health de-
partments will redouble it's efforts
to see that filling stations maintain
clean rest rooms, David B. Lee,
chief sanitary engineer declared
here today.
THE State Board of Health is
charged by law with the inspection
of rest rooms and the enforcement
of the law which makes it manda-
tory for such places to be sanitary"
he pointed out. "An county sani-
tarians have been urged to tighten
up on their routine inspection to
see that the required high standards
of cleanliness are being maintain
ed"
"Clean rest rooms are vitality nee
essary. primarily for the protection
of the public's health. MIR. Lee
emphasized, but, they are also nee
.essary if establishments are to
make good first" impressions on
their customers"
Heavy traffic in Florida this
time of year makes it even more
important for operators to keep a
watchful eye on the cleanliness of
their rest rooms" he said.
According to recent protest
about sanitary conditions in rest
rooms made by the American Auto.
nsstss Ill
over the country indicate that pub
lie indignation is growing over the
increasing number of Uttered spat-
tered dank and ill-smelling rooms
that are provided for the 'conven.
fence of the public"
These discomfort stations and
unrest rooms frequently have
stopped up plumbing, broken water
faucets, dirt-encrusted wash bowls.
soapless dispensers and a total lack
of paper towels and tissue, and
some of them are infested with all
manner of crawling and winged
creatures.
The state Board of Health joins
AHe Ana III It's piSd W 'NhciS dhai
operators of filling stations to take
immediate recourse backed up by
soap and water, paint and disinfec-
tant and some elbow grease, regu-
larly and vigorously applied"
However, Mr.. Lee stressed very
strongly the need for the public to
cooperate with filling station oper-
tators not only by reporting dirty
rest rooms but by helping keep rest
rooms clean.
Entirely too many persons who
use these public rest rooms leave
them in such condition as to be un.
fit for use by the next customer. !"

So, they went over to Aunt

welcomed them, and they asked her
about the %pheasant's eating berries.
WELL" Aunt Mabel said, cit has
been my experience to date that the
first of my berries have to go to the
robins and the pheasants. When the
wild fruits and berries get ripe, the
birds do not bother the fruits in our
gardens so much" ''Then," she con-
tinued, 'the birds eat so many bugs
and worms that would otherwise
ruin field crops and our big gardens
that we can afford to repay them
with some berries in early spring
while they await their wild crop of
fruit and pests.
what have you two done toward
putting in a garden this year?"
ooh, we are putting in a lot, Aunt
Mabel" said Sammy. "Sally has a
long row of annual flower seeds
planted and some peas and lettuce.
l put in radishes and spinach. Moth
er is going to let us plant a dozen
tomato plants and a few pepper
plants this spring now that we are
10 years old and car take care of
them ourselves"
'That is very good" said Aunt
Mabel, come over and let me know
each week how your garden is pro-
crossing. I'm sure you will have sue
cess and you will find it very in
teresting learning the way things
grow and watching weather condi-

Here Lie the Public P0ls-Ouietlv
By John 1. Springer

NEW YORK-President Truman's sensational
victory in Tuesdays election may have an effect on
every phase of the Nations life from soap to SEX
It's all because of the way the President upset the
prediction forecasts Of the major public opinion
polls
Attempting to predict election results has been
only small part Of the work of the public opinion
samplers Hundreds of polling agencies have spent
most Of their time trying to feel the public pulse
for businessmen, students of social trends and the
Government.
Results Formerly Accepted Without Question
Their samples" nave guided manufacturers in
designing automobiles, in naming soap powder, IN
preparing tubes of toothpaste Many big adver-
tisers in recent years have seldom planned an adj
vertisng campaign without first trying to get public
reaction in advance.
The "sampling" technique has spread far in
other fields. DR.. Alfred c. Kinseys famed study
on male sex behavior was based on samples OF the
adult population. Many big corporations have
polled employees to try to find out what they wanted
to make them happy. Movie producers have shown
film scenes to a small part of the population to
try to tell which parts would appeal to the Nation
as whole. Radio comedians have won-and lost
contracts on the basis of reports showing that
small part of the public listened-or failed to listen
to their programs. -,<
recent estimate said that 5000 interviewers
spent full or part time feeling the public pulse
Until now, the results have been accepted almost
without question

AS long ago as May day, 1947
the federation showed Its strength
with a demonstration Of 10000 per-
sons, massed in orderly, well-organ-
lied groups. Most of the member

Slams chief product and the con-
tinent's most needed food-rice-a

rious thing.
Opponent Gets Red Tag
A couple of months ago Phibun's
agents raided the federation office
and seized its documents as part OF
a nationwide roundup of "secret
societies" Since then the fedora
ton has gone underground.
Actually, Siam, with its $4,000, ,00t
population, is not fertile Communist
ground. There are neither food MOI
land problems. Seventy-five pet
cent of the farm land Is owned by
the peasants who till 1t. Rice Is

Office Nearly Abolished
The vice presidency is an office
which has baf1ed our political
theorists from the constitutional
convention to the present day
Right now many experts are
strongly advocating the abolition
Of the post through a constitutional
amendment.
Their basic idea Is that the man
who succeeds to the presidency in
case of a Presidents death should
be one who was actually elected to
the position.

American Institute of Public Opinion, says surveys
for businessmen are in some ways different and
easier than attempting to foresee elections.
"Opinion research" first came into after World
War I, and really began to move during the depres-
sion The technique of testing small representative
part of the public and projecting the results to show
averages for the entire population was used first
by advertising agencies. These scientific" samplers
scored big success in 1885 by correctly forecasting
Roosevelts victory over Landon
At that time the Literary Digest poll, then the
most widely known picked the loser and the Digest
folded.
Successes in forecasting the 1910 and 1914 national
election results-and many lesser campaigns during
that period-mproved the researchers standing.
Some 80 universities including Harvard, Princeton
and Columbia, began courses in polling. The system
spread to countries throughout the world. Polsters
began to finger pulses everywhere.
Last year the Wall Street journal estimated
there were at least 200 research companies, earning
$2O0o00o0 year. Scores of big corporations set up
marketing research departments of their own.
Even the Government Tried Sampling
Taking between 1000 and $4,000 interviews on
subject surveys have asked whether the public
would buy new kind Of suntan oil and the price
it thought brand of whisky was worth.
The Government took up polling and spends mil
lions on surveys every year. 1t has wanted to find
out how to sell more War Bonds, what foods GIs
prefer to eat and how many colds the average
American has year.

Siam Fears Move BY Communists

Premier for a while after the war.
He fed the country when Phibun
seized power. Although Pridi ad-
mittedly is a leftist, his supporters
and many foreigners who knew him
say he is no Communist and Is no
great friend of Russia. His SYM
pathies they insist, are toward the
United States and Great Britain.
Slams politics are unstable. Armed
force Is the accepted weapon for
changing the government. The
country was an absolute monarchy
until 1882. when a coup d'etat made
it sort of constitutional monarchy.
Young King Amanda Mahidol was
assassinated in June, 1916, and his
brother, 20-year-old Phumiphon
Aduldet, has not returned from
Switzerland-where he is completing
his education-to claim his crown.
Phibun seized the government in
November, 1947. Last September a
plot was uncovered to throw him
out. Already there's speculation OF
another coup in the making.
One foreign diplomat who knows
Siam well thinks Communists only
chance would come during prolonged
violence between government and
antigovernmenta- - not necessarily
Communist forces. Then Com
munists might try to step into the
breach and take over.

constitutions were patterned after
ours. In case President dies,
many say, hold an election as soon
as practicable and meanwhile apply
the same rule of succession which
is used now when we don't have a
Vice President.
Many men in the constitutional
convention opposed the creation of
the vice presidency. They pre-
dicted that he frequently would be
just another politician chosen by
politicians to balance the ticket. -
When the First Congress was at
tempting to agree on the best way
to address Vice President, one wag
suggested "his superfluous excel
lency."

amendment to eliminate the Office

BANGKOK, Siam. - officials Of
Siam, the only Southeast Asia coun-
try which hasn't had an armed re-
volt, think the nation may be next
on the Red timetable.
Prime Minister Phibun Songgram
says he, is taking steps to forestan
it. He is tightening up on immi-
grants and tossing Communists out
of government. He is also setting
up a special military police corps to
ferret out Reds and suppress them.
Phibun's opponents. Of course, see
his new stiff measures as q move
to wipe out all potential resistance
to his. regime. The Prime Minister
seized the government by force just
a year ago. He was Prime Minister
before-during the Japanese occu-
patton Of the country. It was he
who declared war on the Allies in
1912.
There are few Siamese who are
Communists, the Prime Minister
says, and the ones in the country
are found primarily among the O.

chief Red threat to Siam is outside
the country's boundaries - China,
Indo- China, Malaga or Burma,
where Communists already are hard
at work.
