Bathing Beauties Not Essential, As Florida Lure, Says Hotel Man

The inordinate demand for the booklet recently issued by the State Hotel Commission, stressing Florida as an ideal place in which men and women having retired or about to retire from the activities of business life might find the ease and comfort desired during their declining years, has convinced Hotel Commissioner Hunter G. Johnson that it isn't absolutely necessary to parade bathing suits in order to attract wide attention to the Sunshine State. Though the edition comprised 100,000 copies and is off the press less than 30 days and is copiously illustrated in color without a single bathing girl in it, such has been the demand for it from all parts of the United States and Canada, that it now appears that an edition of at least another 50,000 copies must be printed to fill requests. "There are two reasons for the demand for the little brochure," said Commissioner Johnson. "In the first place, 10 copies were mailed to each of 514 travel agencies scattered from Portland, Me., to the Missouri River, including Omaha and Kansas City, as well as to 368 automobile clubs in the same territory. Scores of those travel agencies and auto clubs have thanked us for the booklet in highly complimentary letters and asked for more, some for as many as 1,000 copies for distribution in their respective territories. Another reason may be found in the fact that the cartoon of out-of-door pages in all the leading newspapers of Northern United States and Canada were furnished with copies of the booklet and a brief release to the effect that the State Hotel Commission of Florida was striving to interest the great army of men and women about to retire from active business life to the Sunshine State as a place in which to spend their sunset years. As a result, our Tallahassee office has been deluged with individual requests for the booklet, which the writers saw mentioned in such papers as the Boston Post, the Brooklyn Eagle, the New York Times, the New York Herald Tribune, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Detroit Free Press, the Chicago Tribune, the Indianapolis News, the Cincinnati Enquirer and others. We do not subscribe to any of the national clipping services, therefore do not have the clippings, but we do have the letters and postcards giving us the names of the papers, in which the writers living in New England, in New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and the Middle West, generally, saw the notices of the distribution of Florida's latest descriptive booklet. The co-operation by northern newspapers as well as those of Florida has been wonderful and is bound to be reflected in increased tourist business during the approaching season. We are grateful."

Experiments to Make Students Guinea Pigs

Survey Shows FHA Mortgages Good Investment

That Federal Housing Administration insured small-home loans, purchasing long-term institutional investments was indicated in replies received to a questionnaire recently sent to lending institution officials by the editors of the Insured Mortgages Portfolio, an FHA publication. In conducting the survey, officials of the most active institutions were asked to submit statements concerning their insured-mortgage accounts in the belief that their experiences would reveal the reasons behind the increasing participation in the small-home mortgage program of financial institutions primarily interested in long-term investments. Record Favorable All of the institutions reported a favorable foreclosure record, a majority having experienced a smaller ratio of foreclosures to total loans insured than the national average of four-tenths of one per cent. One institution reported that it had not foreclosed a single one of the 680 insured mortgages it had written. Levi P. Smith, president of the Burlington (Vt.) Savings Bank, declared that "for a net yield nothing, beat FHA Title II mortgage contracts. In fact, investment features which have never before been available in any one security. Splendid Investment Finley Tucker, president of the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Jacksonville, in replying to the questionnaire, declared that "because of the low cost of servicing, the added safety provided by the Federal Insurance and the degree of liquidity afforded by transfer the insured FHA mortgage a splendid type of investment for institutions like ours." One of the most active institutional investors in insured mortgages, the Dime Savings Bank of Brooklyn announced through its treasurer, George C. Johnson, that "our experience with FHA-insured loans began less than a year after one." The first FHA-insured loan was made by the institution in 1935, and now it holds 3,659 such mortgages with a total principal balance of $18,861,699. "During this period," Mr. Johnson said, "we have only had four mortgages go to foreclosure, and in three, the title of property was immediately resold with a substantial down payment."

Seek Jobs in Industry For State WPA Workers

To find jobs for nearly 45,000 persons who have been certified as eligible for WPA employment—20,000 of whom are now employed on WPA projects—officials of the Work Projects Administration and the Florida State Employment Service, in cooperation with the Florida State Welfare Board, have agreed upon a plan whereby these persons will be actively referred to prospective employers for jobs in private industry in all cases where they are qualified, Wilbur E. Harkness, Florida Works Projects Administrator said last night. Essential points of the plan call for: 1. The registering, classifying and securing opportunities in private or public employment for workers seeking jobs. 2. Immediate referral of all persons certified as eligible for WPA employment to prospective employers who have signed requests with the Florida State Employment Service. 3. Compulsory registering and reviewing of each certified eligible at least once during subsequent 30-day periods. 4. Joint responsibility of referrals, certified workers to jobs in defense industries and the ascertaining of what qualified labor is available to meet the requirements of the national defense program. Harkness said that notices were being mailed to persons eligible for WPA employment explaining that they will have to report to the nearest Florida State Employment office for registration and review or in some cases meet an itinerant interviewer somewhere in their locality to have their case registered and reviewed. All certified persons who do not maintain active registration at least every thirty days may be suspended from WPA employment or dropped from the certified relief rolls if they fail to appear for interview during which time they permit their periodic reviews to lapse. Harkness said. All persons released because of the Federal law requiring them to be terminated from WPA employment after having worked 18 months may be certified under the terms of the new plan, re-registering with the Florida State Employment Service before the Florida State Welfare Board will recertify them for employment on WPA. The same procedure holds true in all new cases where persons have not previously been certified for WPA employment, Harkness explained. The Florida State Employment Service will issue to all WPA workers an identification card showing the primary occupation title of the worker as well as the appropriate occupational code number. Wherever possible, the two agencies will classify and register the certified eligible under the same occupational titles with respect to applications of other unemployed persons. Timekeepers on WPA projects will be instructed to see that all project employees present for inspection on the first day of the last week of each calendar month the identification cards issued by the Florida State Employment Service showing that the employee has been reviewed during the past 30-day period. During the initial period of registration, however, first consideration will be given to the review of all certified persons on the national defense industries register. A further effort will be made to compile the registration and review of all certified persons assigned to WPA projects next and later the entire certified relief roll will be registered with the Employment service, Harkness said. Harkness explained that WPA would continue to advise certified project employees to leave WPA employment to accept private or public employment wherever the working conditions were reasonable and the wages were the prevailing wages for the job in the community. Harkness said that any WPA employee who refused private employment which was offered him under those conditions would be immediately released from WPA employment. Under a joint agreement signed by officials of the Florida State Employment Service and the WPA, regular monthly meetings will be held for the purpose of discussing related problems and co-ordinating the activities of both agencies with the respect to the return of unemployed workers within the state to active employment status. The statistical and information sections of both agencies will be used for the purpose of compiling and disseminating such information as may be useful in soliciting the aid of private employers in making available jobs to persons now on the certified relief rolls.

Hotel Men Ask Aid of Health Depts.

State Hotel Commissioner Hunter G. Johnson is making an appeal to the health officers of all Florida counties and municipalities for co-operation in the matter of safeguarding the health of visitors to the state as well as that of citizens, through strict observance of the law providing that all handlers of food in public eating places have health cards certifying that the holders are free from contagious or communicable diseases, signed by registered and licensed Florida physicians, and that the cards are renewed every six months, as required by law. "The State Board of Health is giving the State Hotel Commission full co-operation," said Johnson, "and it is also true that many of the county and municipal health officers are giving us valuable assistance in the matter of striving to carry out the provisions of the law prescribing that handlers of food served by public eating places have health cards showing that they are free from diseases which might endanger patrons of those eating places. However, our inspectors often find local health officers who are indifferent or careless and it is to these we are appealing for more hearty co-operation. "The law is very specific so far as the health of food handlers is concerned and it is very important to a state such as Florida, which entertains millions of visitors every year, that the law be rigidly enforced. Any dereliction on our part in the matter of safeguarding the health of patrons of public eating places might have the result of keeping visitors away from the state. Besides, we have the health of Florida citizens who patronize those public eating places to think about. We are being given splendid co-operation by many health officers, but we must have them working with us 100 per cent

LESSON-SERMON ANNOUNCED

Churches of Christ, Scientist will have "Doctrine of Atonement" as the subject of the Lesson-Sermon which will be read in Churches of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world on Sunday, October 19. The Golden Text is: "There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time" (I Timothy 2:5, 6). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" (Mic. 6:8). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "One sacrifice, however great, is insufficient to pay the debt of sin. The atonement requires constant self-immolation on the sinner's part. That God's wrath should be vented upon His beloved Son, is divinely unnatural. Such a theory is man-made" (p. 23:317).
