Florida newapupcra are lead ing a campaign to overhaul the state's antiiiuated school and eleemosynary Institutions. "Florida's development begun with tho elimination of the poll tux in I0H7, said one Tampa editor. "Our greatest need now Is lo bring our schools up to thu level of those in the rest of the country." The TaniDa and Miami prexs In particular are plumping for an additional $18,000,000 expendi ture for achools.

Customers tote In their soiled laundry to the shop, wash It themselves, and tole It home to Iron They say they can do $3 worth of laundry this way for SO cents. One reason the laundries arc spreading rapidly through the country is that they enable the women to exchange household gossip as well as wash clothes. One millionaire housewife who patronizes such a laundry and does the wash herself ex plained: "It's more fun than going lo the club." Newspapermen dream of re tiring, few do. One who did was Harry French, widely known As sociated Press editor who washed the carbon off his hands for keeps in IH3B at the age of 37. He came to Florida, threw away his hat when he crossed the stale line and hasn I worn one since. This transplanted New Knglander put down new roots that kept him too busy for the usual pastimes of tho elderly, "Never played a game of ahuf fleboard or gone fishing," lie said. He's active In half a dozen civic and charitable enterprises. "I'm trying to get him to retire again at 68, said Mrs. French.

Elenbuas is here to confer with Walter lleune of Klamath Iron Works on plans fur the big mill. Before World Wur II, Klenbaas operated his own mill on the north const of Java. When the Japanese landed on Java shortly after I'earl Harbor, the young mill operator reluctantly set torch to hla mill to prevent Its use by the Invaders. He used dynamite to destroy the heavy machinery, and giiso Jine helped make a roaring fire of the rest of the plant. That was on February 27. 11142. For a while after the Japs took over, Klenbaas remained technically free, with the invad ers using his services In their department of mines. But before long the Japs decided he should go Into a concentration camp, and Elenbaas and his wife and three children were ordered Into separate camps. Mrs. Elenbaas was permitted lo keen the children with her until the oldest boy reached his llth birthday. The Jans then declared him to be an adult, and took him aWay to work on a rail road. For three and one-half years, Elenbaas remained In the dark as to the fate of his family. He received one routine post card, which he did not known whether to believe. After the surrender of the Japs, he first found his oldest boy. and then his wife and the other children. He then learned that Mrs. Elenbaas had been confined in a camp with S000 women and chil dren. There were Just two water tups In the entire camp. They had nearly died of starvation. Mrs. Klenbaas, normally 120 pounds, was down to 70 pounds. Elenbaas himself experienced near starvation and tragedy in camp. As a warning against at tempts to escape, he was forced to halt and watch while Jap guards cut a living prisoner to pieces with knives. Despite weakened condition from eating only one cup of rice a day.he was forced to do heavy work. Thirty per cent of the people In his camp died, and almost no one over 50 survived. Free again, Elenbuas made a connection with Bruynzecl Fi neer Fabriek, a huge lumber concern with headquarters at Zaandam, Netherlands. This company plans to construct a big mill on Borneo, and Elenbuas is planning the mill, which will cut about 200.000 feet a shift of both hardwood and softwood. Cutting Borneo softwood is much like cutting American wood of the same type, Elenbaas said, but the hardwood requires a different technique. It Is necessary to feed the saw slowly and cautiously, i the speed being about 60 per I Vacation Backfires SEASIDE, Ore., April 2 (Aj A 21-year-old Miss was at home today after a two-week visit with her grandparents in Los Angeles.

Getting red In the face, the girl said, "no!" "What happened?" insisted her mother. After nearly an hour of questioning, the mother learned the truth. By tossing a cigaret from her bedroom window, the girl had started a brush fire that threat ened an entire neighborhood be fore firemen brought it under control. The Los Angelea visit had . been the girl's reward for not smoking before her 21st birthday.
