 Now, we desire to put off that event as long as possible, and have decided to take a rest. We want to get physf- cally tired and mentally rested and we know of no better place to do this than down in the balmy climate of South Florida.
 After we get tired of pulling speckle trout, Spanish mackerel, red fish and other denizens of the deep out of the water, we are going to fet us a pair of jeans pants and a broad brlm hat and go out and work among the oranges, just to see if we can work like we did In our youth, when we used to act as conductor on a mule and pull the bell cord across his back, way back yond- CT in the seventies over in the good old counties of Greene and Pickens.
