Florida growers have toned down their early damage estimates — some said up to 40 per cent of the crop would be lost — and the fu tures market for frozen concen trated orange juice has calmed down.

V On Jan. 18-20, Florida was hit with one of its worst cold spells in history and panicky growers esti mated their losses at up to 40 per cent. V For another two weeks the growers continued to supply frozen concentrate at the bargain rate. The sequence of events so far has been: V The Florida growers, an ticipating a record crop, offered fro zen concentrated orange juice at the bargain rate of $1.61 per dozen six- ounce cans to wholesalers at the be ginning of the year. V On Feb. 1, the Department of Agriculture estimated that this year s orange crop would be up 3 per cent on last year’s. V In February, wholesale price of frozen concentrate has risen to $2.60 per dozen cans and retail prices have followed. The growers insist things are not as rosy as the Agriculture Depart ment report indicates. “The biggest confusion is that everyone listened to the estimate of a record number of boxes of fruit, but disregarded the fact that USDA said the report was preliminary, that the juice yield was much lower. . .” said Donald Farmer, as sistant general manager of Florida Citrus Mutual, the state’s biggest citrus cooperative. “Using the USDA figures, which we think are too high, it still will take slightly more tjian six boxes of fruit to make the juice obtained from five boxes last year,” Farmer said. Citrus growers reported this week “the fruit is falling like rain from the warm weather.” But offi cial damage figures are not expected until March 9. Farmer said the industry^ the juice yield will eventual! age out to be 1.1 gallons per ' fruit, and that additional c d actions are in the offing b® the amount of fruit that d, from trees after the Feb. 1 s Using the USDA estimates 146 million boxes of or a'iges«| Persons w on the ha „ch 2. lobeelig j in Coll raccordii be city cl j live in tl processed into frozen con« juice to make 170 millioni Last year, when the finalcJ slightly less than now predicted industry packed 193.6 million] Ions of concentrate, or 23.6in gallons more, from less fruit, The USDA now says diet will be about 1.13 gallons pa which would be a loss ofa.li] lion gallons.

Covington believes he can produce braille photographs which will let totally blind persons “see” by touch ing such things as sunsets and mountain horizons. The 33-year-old teacher, lawyer and public relations consultant al ready has developed a process which enables persons with severe visual impairment to see them selves, their friends and their environment. Most people see to photograph, I photograph to see,” he said. ^Mr.Sattiy The Best Pizza in Town (Honest) COME HAVE LUNCH WITH US Fast lunch, intimate booths, party rooms, draft beer, cozy atmosphere and old movies.

In the past six years he has lost most of that because of ret ina problems. At present he has only one-tenth peripheral vision in one eye and poor light perception in the other. “The only way I can see a face is to take a picture of it or sleep with it,” he said. “As I get older it’s easier to take a picture.” He takes black and white pictures with a camera that relies on a dis tance scale for focusing. The resulting pictures freeze the person or scene and allow him to observe them at close range and in lighting conditions best suited to his limited vision. Photographs also are easier to discern because they provide a one dimensional image with better con trast. “As long as I can photograph I will never be blind,” Covington says. He wants to share his vision other visually handicapped viduals and ultimately with blind persons. Convington will teachacoi photography for the visi paired at the Maine Pho Workshop this summer. “Too many people in raphy have vision hut no i tion. I’m looking for a school enough vision to hire a tography professor.” Covington taught jourmlis Weat Virginia University froml| through 1976. A graduate of the Universi Texas, he returned to Ai practice law and try to find for a project to teach his | raphy methods to a group of persons with diminished vision “My hypothesis is that as an vidual’s eyesight diminishes, awareness of their surrounding! of themselves begins to minish,” he said. udent Eni I drive fo j to 6 p.m Naj^e Strei th Amur d, Colleg tion Insti Service £ nent, in c Americ; _der Tower (frictn St k.MSC 1 Com .der Towei f re* Bkxx ) and ten Austiil Psychologist explainsj what s in CBer s nai United Press International HOUSTON — To the question “what’s in a name?” a psychologist has answered that there could be quite a bit — especially if the name is the one adopted by a citizens band radio operator as his handle. Dr. James Landry says a CBer identifying himself on the air as the “bedroom bandit” or “camper queen” is probably fantasizing and adopting a self-image. Landry, on the staff of the Uni versity of Texas Health Science Center, said the emphasis on sexual connotations in such handles project a self-image more than attained. “I don’t think anyone v tentionally pick a bad M Landry said.
