' : • •' ' Literary Column * ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colors, He made their tiny wings. The purple-headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset, and the morning That brightens up the sky; The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water We gather every day, The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them, every one. He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty Who has made all things well. —Cecil Frances Alexander ^ M Ti Ti -ft Teen Age Chatter Reporter Dotty Greene Asst.

(ANP) — Joe Smalley Sr., one of the few color ed men in West Florida to own and operate a citrus grove, is hale and hearty although he says the birthday he celebrated last Oct. 12, made him 100 years old. “I had my birthday party the Sunday after the real date,” said Mr. Smalley, who is remarkably active. “A fine crowd came. I received many useful gifts and had plenty of cake and ice cream.” He attributed his longevity to mental and physical activity and to the equable climate of West Florida, between 60 and 85 de grees, all winter. Uptil recently Mr. Smalley has taken prizes for his products at the local fairs. He is known for the grafting and development of a new fruit known as the Smalley fruit: It resembles a grapefruit in size and appearance but it is sweet.

But the increase is not keeping pace with the demand. The reasons for this are generally the same as the reason* why ihe demand for houses, cars, appli ances, etc., cannot be met today and for many months to come. Manufacturers will not predict when orders can be filled, but we pledge our continued best efforts to pro vide service as soon as possible.
