Pluns Announced for
Manufacture OF
Condensed Milk in Jd.

OOAANAOA40ON
JAMAICA A new plan for
the expansion of local manu-
tactule of condensed milk m
Jamaica was announced re-
Gently in the House of Repre-
sentatives by t h e Chief
Minister and Minister of De-
velopment, the Hon. Norman
ManIey @. c. In a prepared
paper, the Chief Minister told
the House that a process Tor
the manufacture of condensed
milk from butter-fat and non
fat milk solids had recently
been perfected, and that the
advisers of Jamaica Milk Pro-
ducts Ltd. were satisfied that
it would be possible by that
process to use imported but
ter-fat and non-fat solids to
produce at their factory con-
densed milk of equal standard
to the condensed milk pre-
sently produced, also in suffi-
cient quantity to meet their
total requirements.
The Company expects to be
gin the new plan in July this
year.
The Paper pointed out that
a decline in milk production
was noticed in the winter of
1954-55 and that this decline
was a result of large & dairy
farmers curtailing, and in
some cases ABANDONING their
activities because of ] 0 w
prices paid by the Condensary
in that period.
A Price Incentive Scheme
supported by a Government
Subsidy, was put into effect
in April last year which pro-
vides extra payments for fat
content and other factors. This
led also to the renewal of the
Company's license for another
period of five years.
The Paper states also that
the adoption of this new plan

Production of plants at the

expand existing units to a

HIHE most modern branch Of the bring EN- back

from the fact that rockets are expensive In them

How to do this had Air Force researchers baffled

Mr.. Champion got of to the

up and Mr.. Masters won with
the ace. He cashed the queen
and paused to consider his next
move.
The opening lead indicated
his partner had started with
exactly four spades. Therefore
Mrs. Keen still had q spade in
her hand. What about hearts?
Could Mrs. Keen have gone on

thought not. But even If she
had q quick heart loser it did
not seem likely that she could
get rid Of it anywhere.
Mr.. Masters turned his
thoughts to the trump suit.
Mrs. Keen must have at least
six diamonds. 1t was possible
that Mr.. Champion had the
doubleton king. But II so 1t
was right under the ace and
subject to sudden death If Mrs.
Keen got the lead ct trick
three.
The final decision by Mr..
Masters was that it was more
likely his partner had the king
of diamonds than the ace Of
hearts. Therefore he led a
spade at the third trick and
Mrs. Keen had to run with
dummy's deuce Of diamonds.
That gave new life TO the king
of trumps which eventually won
the setting trick.

family contracted bronchial
asthma in the fall Of 1949. He
was so at the time. He had had
q very bad cold which left him
with q cough.
II could go into detail about
the hundreds Of expensive shots
he had to take: and even the
newer drugs did not help. He
used oxygen ct his bedside. He
used pills. sprays. liquid medi-
cines-all prescribed by an able
doctor. He went to an allergy
clinic. but they could not ind
the cause.
Let me tell you. Mrs. r. NJ,
climate did the trick! He was
headed for Arizona and stopped
OF in New Mexico. Just as soon
as he entered that State he could
breathe. as II my miracle. So he
decided to remain there. He Is
now in southern New Mexico,
able to work every day and has
not had a doctor in over q year
and a half-ever since he has
been there. We have decided to
move there permanently: for as
soon as he returns to Michigan
ne has to take shots-and simply
ehokes up with phlegm.
so, Mrs. r. NJ, let us hope
and pray that with Gods help
and the many climates the good
old United States has to offer,
somewhere there is a solution
Tor your serious problem. Don't
give up! And don't do anything
drastic! Your children need
you. Chances are your husband
can arrange his financial status
so you all can reside in New
Mexico or Arizona-the lovely
high and dry climate which is
called the Land Of Enchantment.
What a wonderful New Years

contracts. They are by no means
uncommon and have both a plus
and minus side.
Basically, the theory underly-
ing such contracts is that en-
trepreneurs with the energy and
skill to develop useful new COM
mercial devices or systems are
entitled to cash in on their in
ventiveness without the threat
of competition from those they
train. It is q matter Of COM
mercial fairness which has de-
veloped legal standing.
On the minus side. such agree
ments conflict to q degree with
the traditional freedom Of
United States citizens to sell
their services as they please. In
some circumstances - say, for
instance, where a skilled worker
feels he must quit a job because
of personality conflicts with his
coworkers-the restrictive con-
tract may take away the ability
to earn q living in ones own
home town.
Must Prove Damages
So the courts are prone to re-
Quire a showing Of damages in
enforcing restrictive contracts.
This happened in the aforemen-
toned case when the Judge

Mrs. st. Lawrence's liability to a
