Macarthur boulevard NV, the
second application which the
Palisades Citizens Association,
Of which Mr.. Gray is a member,
has fought within a month.
The first application, at 5136
Macarthur boulevard, was
granted by the board October
20 on the basis of what ABC
Chairman Alan w. Payne has
since admitted was a change
in Interpretation of the Dis
trict's liquor law by himself and
ABC Board Member Frank E.
Weakly.
Procedure Criticized
Mr.. Gray yesterday sharply
criticized the procedure used by
Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Weakly in
the October 20 decision. The
third ABC board member, Her
bert K. Schollenberger, dis
sented in the case and told a
reporter he also dissents from
the new policy stand of his COL
leagues.
Mr.. Gray said the board ma
jority's new stand is causing
city-wide alarm. He said the
stand makes one wonder"
whether the board has not
reached a stage of working for
the industry.
"Our will to resist and ability
to resist is being broken down
by the industry and now by the
board" he declared adding:
you're seeing a community
being cracked by the liquor in
dustry."
To Mr.. Gray's assertions Mr..
Payne retorted later in the
hearing:
"The industry thinks the
board is working against the
industry. and most especially in
the last few days that the
chairman in particular is work.
ing against the industry"
Mr.. Payne first confirmed
the new stand taken by himself
and Mr.. Weakly after the
Palisades group two weeks ago
protested to the District Com
missioners about the ruling in
last months case.
Probe Move Threatened
The group at that time
threatened to seek a Congress
sional investigation If the Com
misSioners fail to intervene.
The city heads have not yet
acknowledged the protest. asso-
citation members said.
Mr.. Gray repeated the asso-
cations threat. telling the
board:
1T seems to me it's time
for a Congressional investiga-
ton of this whole thing"
Mr.. Payne, at the outset of
the hearing, outlined the ma
jority position. He said he and
Mr., Weakly feel the board was
in error in denying past appli-
cations opposed by civic groups.
because he said such OPPOSE
ton often has been voted by
only executive boards or a few
of the members.
In last months case. inspec-
tors, by a count of houses
which was multiplied by a
figure obtained from an econ
omist of the Washington Board

lived in the area around the
proposed liquor store.
The figure used. "a, repre-
scented the national average of
adults in families, Mr.. Payne
said.
Data Challenged
Only 440 names we're on
opposing petitions. So the
board majority ruled that OPP
ponents were outnumbered 3

sharp exception to this find

She also criticized the boards
majority for stating that the
PTA's opposition in last
months case was voted only by
its executive body. A full
membership meeting authorized
opposition to all liquor applica-
tons, she said.
Attorney Raps Critic
Samuel B. Block, attorney for
Macarthur Liquors, Inc, sue
cessful applicant in last
months case, interposed a
strong objection to Mr.. Gray's
statements with reference to
the boards attitude toward the
liquor industry.
Il can't sit here and listen
to this TRADE from this man,
Mr.. Block asserted.
Mr.. Payne responded that
the board was liable to answer
for ITSELF"
Mr.. Block later announced
that his clients are willing to
substitute a beverage" sign for
a liquor" sign just put UP on
their newly opened store. ]. E.
Bindeman. attorney for Aaron
Basin, the new license appli-
cant. said his client also is
willing to try to meet wishes
of residents regarding signs on
his store.
Petitions Submitted
Benjamin Prival, vice presi-
dent of Macarthur Liquors,
presented petitions which he
said contained S98 names
against the new application,
William c. Nicholson, Palisades
association president. submitted
additional petitions which he
estimated included 400 names.
The Basin application was
also opposed by the Rev. Nelson
c. Pierce, pastor of Palisades
Community Church; Pierce
Gault of the area C board,
Commissioners Youth Council,
and Mrs. Leora L. Conner, ex-
ecutive director of Florence

Letters To Editor
"Im Building
A Bridge For Him.

Editor, The Herald:
One of the most appalling com
ments on our present way of life
is that too many Of our hospital
beds are occupied by patients with
nervous and mental troubles. Some
have talent beauty, riches, and
fame. But the priceless ingredient
is lacking which makes the other
possessions become a hideous tor
ment This missing ingredient is
peace of mind, it is the end of re-
hgion. the object of philosophy: the
dream of the wretched, the quest
of the whole world.
If you LOOK carefully among the
people you know, not neglecting
yourself. you see that not one Of
them is happy who does not love
Without love all is futility Sanity
and life itself would cease to exist,
Faith. Hope, Love'-love is the
greatest, but faith is the first, with
out which the others cannot develop
This world was made to love in.
But doing clears the mind. If any
ones heart is full Of love, and his
hands full Of service. he has no
morbid problems. He has solved
the riddle of life.
If you build house or construct
a road or bridge, you are in a
sense building for others, for you
cannot use these things alone.
One of the best poems extolling
the merit and service of bridge
builder was written by win Allen
Dromgoole. Here it is:

Cost Of Living Up

ONCE again, rising costs have hit the
y family budget This was driven home
recently by the Government announcement
that its consumer price index had risen Oh
per cent more to a record high Of 1887 per
cent Of the 1947-49 average, during the
month ended in mid February.
This was the sixth consecutive monthly
gain and the sharpest since October 1t was
pointed out that food and housing were the
two groups most responsible for the jump,
although all major areas of goods and
services except apparel moved up.
In presenting the report, Evan Clague,
Commissioner Of Labor Statistics, declined
to make an estimate Of the movement in the
index for next month. Over the rest of
the year he said. there was some reason
to expect the price Of automobiles and
many household durable goods to de-
cline, largely as d result Of sluggish de-

vantage over all the world.
Great Opportunities Are Elsewhere
|, however. am not telling this
story about the citrus industry Just
to boom Florida am telling it
to show what group of farmers
can do by uniting in co-operatives
and getting the help of research
and advertising. The citrus industry
has never had subsidies or price
guarantees. 1t has fought its own
battles without any limiting Of
acreage or government loans on sur
plus crops.
When cannot the farmers of our
Central West and South do the same
thing with their surplus corn. wheat,
cotton. and other products? Henry
Ford once said to me: When the
farmers wake up and quit crying
on Uncle Sans shoulders they can
find a great use and market for
their products as raw materials in
industry" Agriculture needs a great
leader like Henry Ford and the
national advertising which the hum
bic citrus growers of Florida are
giving their products.

mand, with resulting drop in the consum-
er price index.
The rise in the index in February
brought automatic pay raises to about 1885,
900 workers, mostly in the aircraft indus
try. The typical increase was 2 cents an
hour.
However, the increase in consumer prices
meant that the buying power of the aver
age factory workers paycheck declined in
February, despite a small increase in dol
lar amount. Average weekly earnings were
$74.99 after taxes for worker with three
dependents, up per cent since year ago.
but, because of price rises, these earnings
will buy only one per cent more than a
year ago.
Hardest hit by the rising cost of living
is the citizen with fixed income, or those
living on pensions, and the salared worker
whose paycheck is not automatically in
creased as the cost of living rises.

this institute has an added interest South

strengthened at home, and explained in

demand for a new product known
as chilled" orange juice. AS soon
as this juice is squeezed from the
orange it is stored and transported

Although citrus fruits can be

yet there is competition between
Florida Texas. Arizona, and especi-

however, is growing so fast that
orange groves are becoming more
valuable as home sites and citrus
production is decreasing.
Keeping up to Date
All Of this competition results in
constantly improved quality and in
keeping the price within the reach
Of all families Hence. with the con-
slant growth in population, demand

America is not the only market for
citrus juices. Foreign governments
are also recognizing their great
health value.

Babson Discusses The Citrus Industry

Babson Park. Mass, April H.
When a very small boy I remember
my father driving his horse and
buggy to Salem. Is miles away, to
get an orange for his very sick
aunt. Those were the days when no
Christmas was complete unless we
found a. orange in the toe of the
stocking which we hung by the fire
side before going to BED on Christ
mas Eve. I remember later one
orange was given by the public
school principal as a reward for
having perfect attendance for the
entire school year
Growth of the Orange Industry
In 1900 the entire state of Florida
produced only 100000 boxes of
oranges. In 1928. when l first came
TO Florida. production was only
10 00o 0o00 boxes This year it Will
be $4,000. 5000 or 100.00o0000 boxes
With babies continuing to be given
orange juice as their first food and
with continued heavy advertising
nothing can stop the demand for
orange Juice Furthermore, there
have been great improvements and
developments in the Industry
When l first came to Florida win
tiers only. whole frWt" was shipped
out of the state and sold Then,
about Is. years ago. the co-opera-
tiyes were developed and some
orange juice was then canned This,
however. always had a little bitter
taste Some 10 years ago the
frozen concentrate" was invented
This gives exactly the same taste
as the fresh JUICE and has greatly
increased the consumption Of orange
Juice as well as the health Of the
entire nation
The American Habit
Most orange juice is drunk just
before breakfast This means that
the frozen concentrate must be
mixed with water and thoroughly
melted some. ten minutes before
