Wayne Mixson (D-Marianna) has charged that any union which would want to preserve the drudgery and rigors of hand harvesting methods would be doing its membership a great disservice. Mixson, chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture and Citrus, made his remarks during a six hour citrus subcommittee hearing in Lakeland. The subcommittee was in Lakeland listening to testimony on a citrus industry proposal to tax each box of citrus fruit one cent for the purpose of developing mechanical harvesting equipment.

A REPRESENTATIVE of the United Farm Workers challenged the subcommittee to impose a further tax to support a "social engineering study" of locating and providing jobs for farm workers displaced by mechanical harvesters. Another member of the subcommittee pointed out that studies already indi cated that development of mechanical harvesters for the citrus industry would create more and higher paying jobs because of increased production. "As a peanut farmer and during my childhood," said Mixson, I have spent many long hours of drudgery with my back turned up to the sun. The develop ment of a mechanical peanut harvester has relieved me and many others of that hard labor. It would have been no favor to me or anyone else to preserve that kind of labor.

"My attitude toward any kind of mechanical har-can upgrade the quality labor through develop ment of a mechanical harvester, no tears need be shed for those whose jobs are upgraded." Mixson is cosponsor of HB 74 which seeks to implement the Florida constitutional guarantee of a "right to His bill would insure workers their free choice in selection of a labor union.

The two story city hall was built in 1908, some 65 years ago. Its first floor accommodates the Cairo Fire Department and the city offices, now on the second floor, require use of a stairway. The Council Chambers on second floor were extensively modernized several months ago.

The two old store buildings just to the north were acquired recently after some years of negotiations. City Hall stands on a site which was donated to the city in 1906 with a title restriction that it would revert to the donors, or their estate, in the event the land should ever be used for other purposes. It is situated in about the center of the central business district. CAIRO, Ga. The Cairo Council, at the first regular February meeting held a record marathon session that continued from 1 p.m.
