If such an award were offered for Orlando's most outstanding citizen who had, unselfishly and constructively, best served his community in 1937, to whom would you vote the honor? Would it go to man or woman? To public official, or policeman? To preacher or school-teacher, to a Rotarian, lawyer or Inflation to Come It Orthodox Recovery Fails Is View WAY MOVES TO SECURE BIG SLUM PROJECT Promises Action As First Official Act Of New Term mi ftuKimmi ran Our Weekly Review of Th 5 Citrus Situation (See Pictures en Page 5-B) Sam Y.

Minus his usual display of wit, the new Mayor, who began his second term in the office, spoke at some length before a capacity crowd In the Municipal Court room, touching upon such topics as courtesy for police, progress for Orlando, and a warning that he would not tolerate activities of CIO organizers.

WALZER -Far Th United Pros NEW YORK Wall Street anticipates a stock market rally In 1938 either thru business recovery under private capital Initiative or thru Inflation.

Market men believe Inflation will be resorted to in event of failure of orthodox business recovery. Another alternative not overlooked) is the much rumored one that the government may take over aome private Industries If they are unable to start a recovery. Few believe that will be done. The situation as 1937 ends can be summoned up as follows: 1. A stock market thoroly liquidated and in a position to respond very quickly to favorable business or poliilcal news.

During the course of the decline aome $25,000,000,000 was willed out in market value of stocks listed on Ihe New York Stock Exchange. Decline In all securities probably would be double that amount. 2. The administration has shifted Us policy from one of antagonism to business and markets to Just the reverse a cooperative attitude toward both and a stand for economic realism lp such things as a balanced budget, and use of private capital in Ihe re CTAI'DE PEPPER 'let'i look at the record' PEPPER OFFERS FOR RE-ELECTION Points to Record As Basis for Support Special to Th Sunday Sentinel-Star ST.

A nuuiber of individuals have performed for Orlando and for humanity last year.

Whether personal gain prompted their acts would be a question difficult to decide. IF WE WERE empowered to decide our star citizen for 1937, we could think of half a dozen worthies. Mayor Estes, for instance, because he completed a thoroly satisfactory and serviceable three year administration. Wayne Gray's name bobs up because he brought us a national air line; and Walter Hays' would be remembered, as it was Hays, back in 1931, who kindled a spark of interest for that service. Senator Andrews, of course, is our first citizen, and last year swept into action at Washington, getting a new postoffice for his town.

YOU MAY SAY tho, that these people, the Mayor, Mr. Gray, Senator Andrews were in better position to serve. What about just downright civic pride, civic generosity or acting for love of humanity? Policeman Rogers, as an example, was neither hired nor paid to plant shrubbery around Delaney school, but he did after begging the plants. Most of his after hours are invested in forming school-boy patrols, instructing them in the care of younger children going to and from school grounds. Many a loving mother would consider his worthiness.

(A Madrid dispatch, however, asserted Insurgent attempts to enter Teruel had been repulsed, altho government lorces there were aut-lerlng terrific, punishment.) The struggle for Teruel was described a the greatest battle of the war with 200.000 men engaged.

Special to The Sunday Sentinel-Star NEW YORK Demand for citrus fruits was only fair this week as most Jobbers and retailers had heavy accumulations on hand from previous purchases, especially or anges from two weeks ago.

Fruit was of generally good quality, al-tho some of the Marsh Seedless grapefruit could cut better than they do. The tangerine quality averaged very fine, altho possibly not up to early December when the fruit was at lis best. Sales of Florida oranges during the week amounted to 168 cars against 204 a week ago and 146 the same week last year. Offering of California Navels were held to moderate proportions. The Navels are showing fine quality at the present time.

Because of lighter supplies, there was a little improvement in orange values, possibly 25 cents for the week. SHIPMENTS FAIR Shipments were maintained fairly well in both Florida and California this week, so there? will be less of a lull In supplies following New Years than last season. Orange prices, both of Florida and California are below last year, which is due In part to strong Competition from apples and pears. These two fruits are In heavy supply and prices are low.

A hospital insurance program, selling two or three thousand policies at $1 a month, protecting this number of people against high hospitalization costs, would more correctly serve the cause of humanity.

Hospital bills run high, severely tax people at a time when they are over-bur dened. The insurance plan would spread the cost.
