Lush Crop Escapes Frosty Medfly And Rail Strike County Citrus Groves Give Touris if a rem I By GRETCIIEN GETTEMY (News Staff Writer) While much of Florida's citrus groves have suffered from frost, the Mediterranean fruit fly and Florida East Coast Railway strike, 4,000 acres of citrus trees in Davie continue to produce a lush crop. Tourists who stumble into Brow-ard's groves are amazed at seeing oranges actually growing on trees a sight they'd given up including in their vacation plans. "We in Davie are in an enviable position," said fruit grower Ed Viele, who owns 40 acres in the Davie area. "We were not frozen. We have no medflies.

The citrus embargo is past history and the FEC strike doesn't affect us," Viele said. The grower just returned from a tour of the state's citrus groves and said tourists find a "vastly different picture" here than they see in other parts of the state. Viele said the only great amount of citrus left other than Broward County are some groves near Ft. Pierce and Vero Beach. The enviable position has not gone unnoticed by shippers, gift box people and concentrate producers, Viele said.

BHD-SEASON The Davie growers are presently in their mid-season where they have more citrus varieties mature than at any other time and are busy trying to fill orders. Although they could, Viele said, Broward's growers have not raised their prices an exorbitant amount. He said the wholesale price of a half bushel of oranges has gone up approximately $.50 while local residents can buy a bushel for approximately $3. Viele said that the growers do not want to take advantage of their enhanced situation this year. "They don't have to go up that far," Viele said, reporting local super markets have taken ad-vantage of the citrus difficulties by raising prices.

He said some of the citrus concentrates which have been in storage for a year or so also have raised prices. Viele, a Broward grower for more than 50 years, said Davie grove owriers are proud of their citrus trees this year not only for their economic value but for their beauty which today is unequalled elsewhere in the state. "You'd be surprised at the crowds of local residents who have been here to see ffie trees and flowers," Viele said. He reported only native pine trees and oaks are green in the northern part of the state. 1 11 MM ts MEWS Fokr Iaubei Section "A Local Neivs Features MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1963 vyst atti Legal Neiv Firm Sought Airport Lease Up For Study By City Boar ract I I' Given oost Marshall, shows still owes the By RAY WIELAND (News Staff Writer) The city will start taking proposals for negotiating for a city $6,056.61 in back rent A full time city attorney, under contract for up to two years, was approved new fixed base operator lease at Executive Airport if recommen The rent is secured by a $10,800 cash bond, Marshall said, and in addition PIA has put improve today as a proposed amendment by the municipal charter committee.

Princess Catherine Caradja and her nephew, Monyo Simion Mihailescu, met for the first time since a 1943 luncheon in Germany-ruled Rumania. Mihailescu came to Ft. Lauderdale one and a half years ago and set up an art studio at 820 SW 12th Ave.

The Communist government in Rumania allowed him to leave that country in 1960 to join relatives in the United States. "He doesn't carry a title," Princess Caradja said. "He's just a nice boy who does painting here. "Once a writer in Palm Beach referred to him with a title and it upset him terribly." The princess is staying with friends here. She made a speech Friday to the Chamber of Commerce on the threat of communism and what it did to her country.
