The weather is fine here in southern Florida, The ther- mometer has rogistered 80 to 90 de- grees for the past month, I have been working every day the past two months, I have the machinery to look after in one of the packing plants where we handled 30,000 bushels of tomatoes, which was all made into tomato juice. The vegetable crop is 50 per cent nhove last year. I am picking or- anges now, The fragrant blossoms and fruit look very beautiful on the tree. The birds sing all dey long, and the flowers are beautiful at this time of the year. There is always a cool breeze, although the sun | burning hot. You can always get a sun tan here, Help is very scarce, ‘The potato crop Is 56 per cent above the aver- age, which Is in the digging now Cabbage and beans are abqve the average. Fires are numerous at this time of year. I have not shivered yet down here—in fact, heave not wom a coat all winter, 1 expect Lo see you at the Centre Democrat office before many weeks. I am always glad to get the Centre Democrat, which endea- vors to give the latest up-to-date new: I. GG. HARPSTER Publishes Old Dutch Song. March 17, 1044. Editor, Centre Democrat My dear sir:With your help and several others, I finally got the old Dutch Song published, On account of similar tunes copyrighted, I dare not charge a set price. People can send me as their conscience dictate: to help pay the cost of publishing To print 300 copies of this old song cost me $17.00. That Is almost six cents a copy. If I give a man a single copy unsealed it will cost me about eight cents. However, postage can be saved if one fellow in each community asks for a number of coples and distribute them, I cannot charge any set price for this song. I have the right to give them away, But all of you who cher- ish and appreciate this big job I have done, can send me what your conscience tells you to give to help pay the printing expenses Elmer Bierly, from Florida, who recently died, old me to go. ahead and have the job done and he would stand the expense. At the time of his death I had written very many lets ters and decided to go through with it. I know that there are many who would have paid a dollar rather than not to have it. As 1 sald before, send what your conscience dictates, I am willing to bear the heavy part of the cost I am sending you a copy enclosed and am very grateful to you for the request you printed.

You may publish it if you care to do m0 First, we wish 0 ask you to renew our subscription as we feel we could not be without our Centre Demo- crat We have spent our last three win- ters in our St. Petersburg home We expect to leave for our home In Channahon, Ill... on March 21, so please send our paper there again until further notice. Enclosed find money order for $6 to cover our subscription. This ¥ a grand place to spend one’s winters. We enjoy flowers and abundant sunshine; many varieties of flowers bloom here all winter and form a riot of color so beautiful to behold. Just now the orange and grapefruit trees are white with bloom and they fill the alr with a wonderfully sweet per- fume. We spent last summer here because of gas shortage, The sum- mers are not too hot but monoton- ously long. I think our hottest day wns 98 degrees, but there is quite a lot of rain which helps to keep the alr cool, clean and fresh. Most of the nights are cool from midnight to sunrise so one can rest. We awake most ev morning to the sound of mocking birds singing in the trees in our yard. There are many Yar- feties of birds here enjoying the winter sun and balmy air, We even enjoy the song of the lowly roosters who sing in the early hours of the Ar morning. i We wish to extend a hearty greet. ing to all our Centre county friends and to say we are in the best of health. all our friends are well We are old residents of Oentre county. I. Mrs, Condo, was raised in Woodward and my husband, Merb, was raised In Aaronsburg.

Dear Sir: May T commend you for having the courage, stamina, or whatever it was that led you to print the full details and to express a candid opinion of the garbage collection plan now be- ing considered by Bellefonte Council. Council must be laboring under the impression that this town is com- posed of suckers for anyone who would consent to this plan as it is now outlined would be the world's supreme sucker, The citizens of Bellefonte are expected to pay their garbage collector $15 a year if he has his way or $12 a year if Council has its way, for the privilege of buy- Ing a garbage can (where can you get those things now any way?). sorting all their garbage carefully to be sure no paper, bottles, etc, get in accidentally. carrying it to ground level or maybe to the front walk: and then washing out the can after it is finally emptied. Privilege, my eye! That's just a lot of extra hard work plied on the already overloaded shoulders of the housewife and her long-suffering husband who would be elected to carry out the can each collection day. Bupposing that this did take care of the garbage, then what about the aghes. And don't let anyone tell you that they are a small problem. For most people they are just as large if not & larger problem than food re- fuse. After all, in these days of conservation, the idea Is to save food, not throw it away, but in winter the ashes just keep piling up in spite of everything you do. a year to get rid of your garbage, | Council After paying $12! trucker to haul away the ashes, This looks like a pretty expensive set-up ww me ! Last, but by no means least, we come to that little clause that says “it will be unlawful for persons to | burn garbage, haul it away thems | selves, or Lo hire anyone but the au- | thorized collection agency to dispose of it.” 1 haven't had time yet to delve Into either the Pennsylvania Constitution or the United States Constitution but this sounds to me like a violation of the rights and privileges of citizens as defined In both of these. Why, under the sun, are we bothering with this war If people can't do what they wish with their garbage as long as they don't in any way injure their fellow citi- zens, Purthermore, how does Coun cil intend to enforce this ordinance? Perhaps they will place a local “ges- tape” agent in each basement Lo see that no food refuse is accidentally thrown into the furnace, or one in each backyard to see that no one but the authorized collector takes any away, It isn't hard to see that this ordinance is much much easier en- acted than enforced, I think it is high time that the people of Bellefonte wake up to what has in store for them Publie opinion still rules in this country when it wants to, and it had better make itself heard ime mediately in this case or there are going to be a great number of sorry citizens. Print this, if you like: throw it in your waste basket, if you don't, I thought it was time for someone to say something “A thoroughly disgusted citizen” MARY SWARTZ ANNOUNCEMENT PRE-EASTER AND POST-EASTER EVANGELISTIC SERVICES WILL BE HELD IN THE UNIONVILLE FREE METHODIST CHURCH BEGINNING APRIL 3 THROUGH APRIL 16 Every Night Except Bslurday COME AND ENJOY GOSPEL BINGING AND PREACHING THIS HOLIDAY BEABON YOU ARE WELCOME REV.
