Florida Shows Big Growth Washington ? population In creases In Florida over the next decade will more than double the national average, according to the Klpllnger Washington Ed itors. In the seventh annual Florida Population Map, published as an adjunct to the Klpllnger Florida Letter, the editors estimate that Florida will see a 10-year pop ulation gain of 44 percent, more than twice the U. S. average. Population for the current year is estimated at 5,767,400; for 1969, 6,897,500; for 1974, 8, 322,400. The editors note that the pop ulation mix of Florida is chang ing, with a rising proportion of citizens over 65. "While U. S. average is 9 percent, Florida has 11 percent, will approach 13 percent by 1970," they re port. "Proportion of Negroes continue to fall, is now dowr to about 18 percent. Foreign born residents make up a little more than 5 percent of the total, about the U. S. average. But the Florida born are getting TSarcfer to find ? two-thirds of all residents have migrated from other states." The estimates are based on talks with population experts as well as government, business and industry leaders. Klpllnger points out that estimates must be changed often, to reflect new developments bearing on popu lation growth. "This year, for example, we considered missile plants, new roads and univer sities, the southward move ments of citrus growers, ap proval of the cross-state barge canal. As a result some smal ler counties are perking up, even those which had been losing population. And some of the bits aren't growing quite as fast as formerly." Farm dwellings account for about 42 per cent of the loss. Barns account for another 27 per cent; and other outbuildings, including buildings such as rural churches and schools, ac count for the remaining 16 per cent.

Known Communists should be prohibited from teaching or lecturing in State supported schools. LOCAL GOVERNMENT Decisions of local nature ought to be left to County and Town Commissioners with least Interference from Raleigh and Washington.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION || f UAIICE Reading of the Bible and non-denominational prayers ought to be allowed and encouraged HVUilk in public schools. Since the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled otherwise, a constitutional amendment should be proposed to restore these rights. FRANK BANZET ? for ?
