B. F. PATY for Congress FOURTH DISTRICT

An aggressive prosecution of the war, both by attack and defense, may be accomplished by maximum capacity production, which may be attained by an all-out co-operative effort by all. Our financial policy should be such as to eliminate all unnecessary public spending and prevent any profiteering. Plants established in South Florida for the production of sugar, canning of vegetables and the like are needed to help feed our military forces. If this plan is agreeable to the Government, it naturally follows that the excessive freight rate which Florida pays will be placed on a parity with other states. (Paid Political Adv.)

WATER TUMBLER GIVES EDGE TO DULL RAZORS

Bryan Willis, State Auditor, offers the following suggestion for razor blade conservation, which he personally tested and found effective. The attention of the razor-minded public can well be sharpened to the fact that dull razor blades may be keen-edged up by honing them on the inside of an ordinary glass tumbler. Willis says the average blade will last from four to six times as long if the cutting edges are kept in condition in this manner.

Mrs. Street, Regent, Will Attend D. A. R. Congress in Chicago

Mrs. Wade Livingston Street, regent of the Coral Gables Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution and state chairman of the souvenir committee for the Florida delegation, will leave on Saturday to attend the National D. A. R. Congress meeting in Chicago, Ill., from May 4th to 8th. The regent is the only member of the D. A. R. in this section attending the congress this year. She is taking several hundred souvenirs, gifts of the chapter for the delegates and guests who will attend the Florida breakfast during the congress. Mrs. Street has attended the state of Florida D. A. R. board meetings during her regency and has gone to three yearly meetings of the National D. A. R. Congress. This year the Memorial Continental Hall in Washington will not house the congress, and the many thousands of visitors who pour into Washington during congress time will miss seeing this fine piece of D. A. R. property, for owing to the crowded conditions of this city during war times, it could not accommodate the crowds who attend each year. And so "Meet me in Chicago" is the congress slogan this year. On Thursday of this week the chapter, through the regent, presented its Good Citizenship Pilgrimage medal to Kitty Lou Hoffman, a senior at Ponce de Leon Senior High School. Kitty's name will also be engraved on the loving cup recently presented to this school by the chapter. Mrs. Harry W. Trafford, chairman of the National Defense committee of the chapter, also presented a medal to Joan Delaney for the winning essay in a recent contest at the school, her subject being "What Can the Individual Do for Victory?" This committee's name has been changed to "Victory Committee," the change being made at a meeting of the chairmen of the Dade County Home and Community Service Division, at a meeting in the Sunshine Room on Tuesday morning of this week. Martha Ann Symons of the Ponce de Leon High School also received the Good Citizenship Pilgrimage medal for the best essay in this school. This chapter also offered a medal for the best work in good citizenship to the Naples High School, and this was won by Olivia Storter, a senior of the school. In 1937 the national D. A. R. organized the Good Citizenship Pilgrim's Club to help promote good citizenship and to cultivate the friendships formed through this project. A student elected to this club must be outstanding in these four points: dependability, service, leadership and patriotism. We are proud of the work that our chapter has done in the schools and of the girls who have been successful in winning the awards given by the national society and by the chapter.
