Mr.. DRANt H0URNS
With LAKELAND
FOR PAUL GARDNER

Congressman H. ]. Drane has writ
ten the editor as follows regarding
the death Of Paul Gardner:
Il have just read with the mos
profound regret of the passing Of
Paul Gardner. 1t is almost unbeliev
able.
"On Thursday, June 9Th, he came
into my Office while | was in Lake
land, and through my sub-conscious
ness | could imagine that there had
been marked change in his physi
cal being, since | had last seen him
more than a year ago. did not
know what it was, but he was to my
mind not his natural self. know
now.
He and ! always passed jokes when
we were together, and | Immediately
began joking with him. He told me
that he was not in the joking humor,
but seriously desired to enter the SER
vice of his country in some capacity
where he could do the work of a
red-bloOded man. | assured him that
the finest work he could possibly do,
under present conditions, was to do
what he had been engaged in during
all the years ! had known him, and
that was to make people happy
around him; to make two roses bloom
where one had bloomed before. He
still pursued the line of his first
thought, and then | asked him if he
felt that he was in perfect health
and could pass the rigid physical ex-
animation required by Army Sur
geons. His answer was that he was
in perfect health, and impulsively he
raised his left leg without any assist
ance from his hand, raising his foot
until it pointed backward over his
should and on a level with his head.
There were two other gentlemen In
the room at the time, and they COM
mented upon the remarkable feat
which he had accomplished.
Paul went away laughing, and so
! prefer to remember him; just as
fine old Paul Gardner, with happy
smile.
Yours very truly,
HERBERT j. DRANE, M. c."

These gentlemen were shown over the

that has taken place here. They
didn't say that Lakeland was ahead
OF Orlando, but we believe they had
some serious reflections along that
line. At any rate they found much
here that surprised them and they
left for home this afternoon carrying
with them many new ideas for NUM-
