Game Loss Overestimated

TALLAHASSEE — State Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission officials today said reports from Florida's five conservation districts indicated that original estimates of flood damage to quail and turkey crops had been highly overestimated. At one time, when south Florida flood conditions were at a peak, it was feared that virtually all game bird stocks in that area would be completely wiped out. However, today, Commission Director Ben C. Morgan declared that he had received detailed reports from wildlife officers throughout the state and that conditions were not "half as bad as we originally expected." Heaviest damage was reported in the palmetto-dotted lowlands west of Lake Okeechobee, which suffered an estimated 40 per cent loss. Previously it had been feared that quail and turkey losses in that portion of the state would run as high as 85 per cent. Hendry and Glade counties, comprising one of the state's favorite quailhunting grounds, were particularly hard hit, Autriton said. District Chief Curtis E. Wright, Okeechobee, estimated damage in District 4 at 20 per cent. The Fourth District takes in the southern end of the state, and extends along the east coast to Brevard County. "The floods destroyed 50 per cent of the early quail nests," Wright said, "but the birds are laying and hatching again and I believe we will have more quail in this district than we have had for several years."

MEET THE JAYCEES | Cliff Rodgers Served As Army Machine Gunner

Cliff Rodgers vigorously denies that he left his native Pittsburgh because of rumors that a big light—called the sun—shone daytimes in other places. But he's never regretted the decision to pull up stakes and make Coral Gables his permanent address. Not one to "let-Joe-Do-It," the 24-year-old bachelor wanted to contribute to, as well as enjoy, the atmosphere that makes the Gables an up-and-coming community, so he joined the active Jaycees. One of a series of articles on members of the Coral Gables Junior Chamber of Commerce Cliff needs no convincing that he lives in the machine age. Right now, as he goes about his duties as a teller in the Florida National Bank at Coral Gables, his "right hand man" is an adding machine. During the war he played a different kind of tune on another mechanical contrivance — a machine gun. A corporal upon discharge, Rodgers spent three years in khaki, first in the infantry then in the Army's finance department. More than half his tour of duty was served overseas in England, France, Belgium, Germany and Holland. In addition to the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Cliff claims membership in the Order of DeMolay, the 106th Infantry Division Association, Harvey Seeds Post, American Legion, and the American Overseas Service Club. His hobbies? "Sports — any kind," says he. RODGERS

AIR MAKES FROZEN CONFECTION PALATABLE

CHICAGO.—It's the air in ice cream that makes you want to eat it, and that's not hot air, either. The National Dairy Council explains it this way: "Ice cream without any air would be as solid as a rock and certainly not palatable. As air is added to ice cream, like grandmother did in her old-fashioned hand freezer, the food becomes less icy, its texture is smooth and its flavor is most enjoyable. Air does for ice cream what a leavening agent does for bakery products."

Pilot Revisits Scenes of Wartime Service

Frederick M. Bowen, Jr., left Coral Gables recently on a "sentimental journey" that will take him through the deep South, down to Mexico and on to the far western states. Son of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Bowen of 1024 Avenue Milan, young Bowen planned to revisit across the nation the places where he was stationed during wartime service as a pilot in the Army Air Corps. His itinerary includes stops in Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Mexico, New Mexico, Nebraska—with points farther west scheduled if time permits. Drearier stations along the route where he "did time" during the war may only serve to convince him of his luck in living in the Gables, the ex-pilot confessed — but most will bring pleasant memories and renewed wartime friendships.
