WEATHER BUREAU, TAMPA, FLA. jkll 1014 The Chief Justice presides over both divisions and also when the Court sits as a full body. All cases execpt those involving constitutional questions and death sentences are heard by divisions.

During the June term the Court disposed of 495 cases, including 337 on which opinions were filed, and received 534 new cases.

Harold L.

Sebring' became Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court today, succeeding Alto Adams. Justice Sebring, former head football coach at the University of Florida, was elevated to the State's highest judicial position for a two-year term under the Court's rotation of seniority. 29.86 29.94 Midwest's Cold Invades South Below Freezing Temperatures Recorded By The Antociatei Preni The East and the South got some more of the tail end of the Midwest cold wave but the central part of the country was getting some warmer weather. Temperatures again today dropped below freezing over most of the South and parts of the Southwest. The cold hit Northern Florida with a low of 31 at Jacksonville early today.

Miami reported 42 and at the same time it was 25 in Birmingham. Atlanta, which had a high of 38 yesterday, shivered at 28. The mercury dropped to 28 San Antonio. The Eastern States had lower readings with the coldest air mass centered in the New England States. However, no below zero temperatures were reported.

Temperatures in the 50's were forecast for Nebraska, Oklahoma and Kansas and in the 40's for Missouri. Readings far above freezing were in prospect for the North Central States, which has had sub-freezing arid below zero He has been a member of the Court since 1942, when he was elected to succeed the late Justice Lost Shrimp Boat Pieces Discovered Fernandina, Jan. 9 (IP). Parts of the shrimp boat Vera which disappeared Nov. 20 have- been found but its two crew members are still missing.

Harold V. Fulford, owner of the Vera, said he found pieces of the 40-foot trawler on the beach of Little Talbot Island just north of the St. Johns River. He said he presumed the master, Robert Burns, and his helper, Izel Jenkins, encountered rough weather and were driven ashore where the craft broke up. Fulford made the discovery while on a vain search for some trace of Capt.

Grover Lovel who was lost overboard Dec. 27 from the shrimper Pompano. 30.03 J. B. Whitfield, who retired.

The Court began the January term under Chief Justice Sebring QctZX AtTLT 0 CUNTOY TOG Silver makers are also buying more silver for another reason. Curbs on the use of copper and nickel increase the demand for silver as a substitute. Also, silver makers expect to be deprived of the materials they use as a base for platedware, and they will tend more and more to making sterling pieces, which, of course, require more silver. Silver users agreed to re-enter the market and pay 10 cents more an ounce after they learned that price controls will not be applied to silver bought in foreign countries. In other words, the silver makers will be able to pass on to their customers this higher cost of the metal by raising prices on finished silver goods.

Not Record Igh Silver, at the Treasury price of 90i 2 cents, is not at a record high. The high mark was set in November, 1919, at cents an ounce. The price broke in 1920. The metal reached a low of 24Vz cents in ,1932. The Treasury now holds around 160 million ounces of silver, which it can legally sell at 90.91 cents an ounce.

If it enters the market at this level the Treasury in effect will put a ceiling on the commercial price of silver. Domestic production of silver has been running at around 35 million ounces a year. We have been importing from 75 to 80 million ounces of foreign silver a year for commercial use here. The United States also holds a huge stock of gold, valued at the official price of $35 for a total of more than $22 billion worth. But this stock has been dropping rapidly in recent months $1.7 billion of it went to other countries during foreign trade increased and European industrial recovery led to rebuilding of European financial health.

The prices of silver and gold have taken a leap upward. Demand for both metals, as a sideline to the rearmament program, is given as the cause. Silver in a 10-cent-an-ounce jump yesterday is now selling at the highest price in 30 years. Domestic silver miners can now get substantially as much for their metal in the commercial market as they can at the U. S.

Treasury, which has been buying up their entire output for years at the Congressional set price of 90V2 cents an ounce. Gold is up another $1.50 an ounce on the world's free markets. South Africa is restricting the sale of her gold, and the Belgian Congo has raised its price to $43.25 on ounce, for a total jump of $3 since Dec. 30. Silver demand has been piling up.

Three months ago, the Silver Trade says, American users of silver were taking about 100 million ounces a year. Now they are buying silver at the rate of 150 million ounces a year. Silverware Sales Good For one thing, sales of silverware have been good. Silver makers expect sales to be even better. They base this on previous wartime experience.

As consumer incomes rise and the usual consumer goods grow scarce, the excess purchasing power is often turned 1023 1026 30.30 ON REQUEST B. K.

Only freeholders are entitled to vote, and approximately 143 voters must cast ballots before the election is valid. Then a majority must favor sewers for the plan to pass. Two sewer plans have been offered voters in this section. The Gulf Beaches Service District has a referendum scheduled for Feb. 15 on a master sewer system embracing North Redington Beach, Redington Beach, Madeira Beach and South Madeira Beach with facilities for expansion northward toward Indian Rocks and a disposal plant at Medeira.

Plans formulated by the Madeira Beach Town Council would set up a system for Madeira Beach only, but would be adequate to accommodate the three other municipalities if they are interested. believed to be Desperado Bill PINEAPPLES Cuba: crts. 2 50.
