High Court Denies Accounting Of Estate

TALLAHASSEE, May 22 (FNS) - Mrs. Carrie B. Dreka's suit for an accounting of Francis P. Whitehair's handling of bonds for her late husband was turned down by the Supreme Court on the grounds that the allegations of Mrs. Dreka and James White had been "sufficiently sustained by the evidence." It affirmed findings of Circuit Judge Jackson that Mrs. Dreka and other members of the family had failed to establish any fiduciary relationship between them and Whitehair, then attorney for the Deland merchant, and had not shown that the sale of stock in C. A. Dreka, & Co. had been obtained by duress or undue influence. The Supreme Court had previously ruled that Mrs. Dreka's bill of complaint did not "wholly fail to state a cause of action" and had sent the suit back to Volusia County Circuit Court for further proceedings. The decision affirmed the lower court's final order in the case.

Says Florida Can Supply Rice Needs

STUART, May 22 (FNS) -"Florida can grow rice. I have already grown the finest sort of rice right here in Martin County!" The speaker was J. A. Jamison, county superintendent of public instruction, who experimented with a rice planting two years ago and now has 18 acres coming into production in a marshy area near Palm City, with three varieties planted. "It's a crop that needs no fertilizer, gets along fine on the proper land, and needs no spraying., Insects don't bother it. You have to watch out for cattle—that's about all. Just think of the millions of acres of inundated lands in the lower Everglades where rice could be grown successfully. It's selling right now for $2.75 the bushel in the husk," Jamison stated. He contends that Florida should be able to supply rice for the whole of the nation, especially now that the Oriental markets are cut off.

In Miami there is an immense crushing machine that. For years junk, mostly automobil bodies, has been disposed of in an old rock quarry. A Miami dealer is mining this rusted material. Many tons have already been recovered with the crushing machine, scratched thus far. And the city gets a royalty of $1.25 a ton as is. In Dunedin, where Arthur J.

Care Prolongs Life Of Your Forstman Woolens

Wool is precious. Better take special pains to safeguard it over the summer. Here are a few helpful pointers on storing woolens from the Forstmann Woolen Company. Woven woolen cloth garments should not be washed with soap and water. Have them dry cleaned and returned to you in moth-proof bags. If you lack space to hang garments, cut wrapping paper the exact size of your storage drawer and give it to your cleaner so that he may return the garments folded expertly to these dimensions. When cleaning and storing garments yourself, it is best to air them all day and brush thoroughly to remove all the lint and dust from the creases and folds. If you are hanging them in bags, be certain to pad the hangers well with tissue paper and stuff sleeves of frocks and jackets with tissue so that they won't become crushed. Storage bags of cellophane, oliekin or paper are all satisfactory if seams and closures are absolutely dustproof. The closets in which these bags are hung should be cool and treated beforehand with moth repellents. If clothes are packed away in a chest or drawer, drop in several mothrepellent tablets. Never use cardboard suit boxes or hat boxes for storing woolens, for they are neither dust nor mothproof. Cedar chests, of course, are best. Incidentally, a bit of lavender or cloves will help to dispel the odor of moth preventatives.

AN OPEN LETTER To the Citizens of Coral Gables:

Since 1925 I have been a resident of the City of Coral Gables. I was at one time lieutenant of your Fire Department and for many years an officer on your Police Force, even back in the days when we used old open T-Model Fords for patrol cars. Since that time I have served as a Deputy Sheriff of your County, and for the past two and a half years as Investigator for the State Attorney's Office. As you all well know, Mr. G. A. Worley is your State Attorney and I am proud of my association with him, as I consider him one of the most capable prosecutors I have ever known. There has never been a case in which I have felt that Mr. Worley was dilatory or failed to prosecute to the best of his ability, regardless of the importance or unimportance of the case. My position as Investigator depends entirely on the re-election of Mr. Worley. Again I ask YOU, the citizens and voters of Coral Gables, to vote next Tuesday for the re-election of G. A. Worley as State Attorney. My home, as many of you know, is located at 2601 San Domingo Street, and my two young daughters are attending school in Coral Gables. Thanking each and every one of you, I remain, Your sincerely, I. R. MILLS INVESTIGATOR, STATE ATTORNEY I. R. (RAY) MILLS
