Senator Thye Flags Widespread Oleo Substitution in Restaurants
Washington is told by Senator Ed Thye that a survey of 159 restaurants across eight cities found one third served oleo or another substitute when butter was requested. He urges Congress to repeal oleo taxes and ban manufacture to stop the public misled on butter. Thye notes only Los Angeles showed perfect butter service. He says oleo sales violate no federal law, while a House bill would repeal taxes and require clear labeling in restaurants.

County Drainage Job Nears Thursday Blast
The final blast to finish Houston County's drainage canal from Merritt's pond to Bryant creek is expected Thursday morning. Lt. Col. Warren S. Everett said the project, run by Army Engineers and civilians, began less than two weeks ago and may complete on Thursday barring weather or equipment delays. A parallel ditch between Merritt's and Jordan's ponds will then drain into the creek, with Florida pond work deemed more economical and faster, reducing total digging to about three quarters of a mile and cutting costs by about 7500 dollars compared with the prior plan.
