Editor Star: We "iand lubbers" Of /
the interior do not realize that we |
may in few hours reach the beach |
Of the Atlantic with its refreshing, in |
health giving ozone. The |
trip via Leesburg, Orlando. Sanford |
and DeLand is most charming one, |
but covers IT'S miles, taking a full day |
70 make il with an automobile. Re
GENTLY a short cut has been made by |
way OF Altoona, Crows Bluff and De-
Land, the distance only being about
10 miles. This road being a new one
is not SO good as the longer route but
is quite passable and the trip from
Ocala can be made in five or six hours.
The first week of our stay was most
pleasantly spent at the Seaside Inn, a
first class hosiery at Daytona Beach.
The rooms are airy and comfortable,
the fare good and the guests made TO
feel home by the gracious landlady,
Mrs. Wilson and her competent man

comfort Of our own home plus the
ocean breezes and bathing and every
conceivable kind of sea food. Yester-
day we enjoyed at dinner coquina
bouillon. baked bass and shrimp salad.

ton to visit Us and enjoy life.
