YE EDITORS NOTEBOOK
GOV. COLLINS BI-RACIAL COMMITTEE

Governor Leroy Collins has appointed bi-racial adj
viSory committee that will with members of his staff
and which he hopes will be helpful in improving
lations throughout the state of Florida.
The Governor is perturbed over the deterioating of
relations in the state.
He says 81 feel that the situation in Florida generally
good when compared with that of sister states. think
this is subsanated by the quiet and stable which
marked the opening of our schools"
The following is the bi-racial committee:
Circuit Judge L. L. Fabinsh of Pensacola; Doak S..
Campbell president of Florida State University and j. R.
b. Lee business manager of Florida and University
The Miami Times believes this committee is good
idea and pleased to j. R. E. Lee this
mtee. We have known Mr.. Lee for many years. his
perence in the educational field should be helpful How
ever it is opinion that the committee is unbalanced.
There should be at least other Negro this COM
mttee There many outstanding in the state for
the governor to choose from
We mention just few of them. There is James H.
Lewis president of the AfrOAmerican Life Insurance Co.
OF Jacksonvile c. Blythe Andrews publisher of the Fla
Sentinel of Tampa and Atty. L. E. Thomas and the Rev
Edward t. Graham of Miami
IL tns committee is to do real job it must be big
enough to embrace the opinion of more than one
sentative OF the Negro people In doing we believe that
the governor and his staff will be better able to interpret
the whole situation and help to improve race relations
which is the objective of the committee.

WHY VITAMINS DESTROYED
IN COOKING FOOD
MUST BE REPLACED.

Do you know that all of 25P5 of the total
Thiamin (vitamin "B'O content in potatoes
can be destroyed by cooking-30% in leafy
green and yellow vegetables and 2596 in
lean meats, poultry and fish! Other essential
nutritional factors such as Niacin, Ribo-
flavin, and AScorbic Acid may also be adj
versely affected in cooked foods. And these
figures are tabuIationS from foods cooked
under average methods! Just think what
happens when you eat overlooked foods -
warmed up left-overs-or foods from steam
tables in cafeterias These are powerful
reasons why your entire system may be
Vitamin starved.

US what a surprising decline
agriculturally and Industrial
ly our island has suffered.
This then my friends serve
to point to me, the message
that / want to leave with you
this afternoon.
All the time the human race
has been on this earth and no
one knows exactly how long
that is, man has had to get his
living from the soil. No mat
ter whatever other industries
we may have or by what
means funds are secured; in
spite of drought, hard work,
failure of crops or poor yield,
there is a tremendous appeal
in land to every human being
backbone Of our island
still is and will always remain
the man who is the backbone
of the world the man who
sows and reaps.

it is too far-fetched to say that
it would seem that we are in

somewhat Indifferent obout
our staple industry and agri-

| do not think anybody can
travel around this island with
out observing how deeply
rooted in the soil, was all the
prosperity that this island ever
enjoyed.
It seems too that we are
gradually losing our interest
in cultiyating this island, I
know perhaps there are sever
al and many reasons, and per-
haps you say the struggle is
too great, and much more can
be realized by using the land
for home sites as the value Of

at the whole south side Of our

whereas in times past this is
land boosted regularly of hav-
ing over $4,000 acres in cane
cultivation on some 40 or go
estates today we are reduced
to no more than 5000 acres.
Let me go back just a little,
say 30 years ago, at the time
when the Bethlehem Factory
was being erected, our annual
crop in this island was over
$4,000 tons and that was con-
sidered poor. Today with all
our modern conveniences and
more efficient machinery we,
this year, produced 1880 tons
and this was considered good.
Being 500 tons more than our
allotted quota. At that time
we had no less than 3 sugar
factories in operation and
Bethlehem on completion to
constitute the fourth. Let me
lame them for you: The st.
Croix Central, Lower Love &
La Grange. Today, there is
but a single one in existence.
Taking the year I have just
mentioned, this island had a
population of over 5000 per-
sons in the country districts
alone, today there is probably
no more than 5000.
We exported besides also,
Molasses and Rum, and pro-
duced fruit and vegetables

organization intends to select
an outstanding student to re-
present his commonwealth

stitutional convention to be
held in Washington or Phila-
delphia in June 1857.
The students selected will
have all expenses paid to at
tend the convention which
will be devoted to study and
discussion of the Constitution
of the United States. Each
commonwealth is to select
that student whose discourse
as demonstrated in public
speaking, discussion or debate,
most nearly exemplifies the
eloquence characteristics Of
Alexander Hamilton's speech
making at its best,
The student must also have
a knowledge Of the constitu-
ton and the ability to discuss
it. This will enable him to
participate effectively in the
Constitutional Convention at

excel IN this endeavor.
In addition for the right to
