FLORIDA ROADS
AREEXCELLENT
SAYS TOURIST
z. w. Marsh, Clerk of District Court,
Motors South From Mountains
of North Carolina.

f. w. Marsh, clerk of the United
States district court, who has spent
the past summer in the mountains of
North Carolina. making the trip to
and from Pensacola by automobile,
has a good opinion of West Florida
roads, as compared to those of Ala
bama.
Mr.. Marsh, who is secretary of the
West Florida Automobile Association,
in discussing plans for suggested road
development, said that 1t gave him a
sense OF pride when going through
West Florida and Alabama, TO con-
trast the two sections. to the credit
of our part of the country.
"All this talk Of annexing West
Florida to Alabama does not get US
anywhere" said Mr.. Marsh, "and I
have been surprised to know that
there. has been any local sentiment
for such a move. do not mean to
knock Alabama, but when we compare
our part of the state, and the way
our roads are kept up and our towns
and rural districts are improved, the
credit is all on our side of the ledger.
II found the roads in West Florida
excellent. The suggested route from
| Columbus, Ga, on to Pensacola via
DeFuniak seems a good one to me-.
There are some very bad stretches
| of road in Alabama, and the other
route seems to me far more feasible.
Mr.. Marsh said that during his alb
sence in North Carolina, he was
pleased at the constant mention he
heard of Pensacola. People all over
the country know we are on the map,
and mention us particularly as an i'm
portant naval base. As for the good
roads of Florida, one hears constant
mention of these, and they are doing
much to advertise our state"

campaign, which is expected to enlist
the support OF every taxpayer in ES-

Back of the drive is the strongest
organized effort ever enlisted in such
a movement in Escambia county, and
sentiment has crystallized into a fight

saeola where this city belongs on the
educational map.
Judge Z. ID. Beggs, who recently
called a meeting of citizens at the
high school building. to confer with
the board OF education, to devise ways
and means of overcoming the handi-
caps that now exist in relation to city
schools. is authority for the statement
that the funds of the schools are en-
tirely inadequate to cope with condi-
tions, and that In order to house the
boys and girls even respectfully. it is
absolutely necessary to create a sub
tax district.
Legal authorities declare that such
tax is the only way in which the
school problem may be met, and is the
way that many other districts in tbs
county are taking care of school af.

such districts in the county, with 6

of wavy, silky hair, gloriously fluffy,

with glossy, golden CLEANS and tender
lights. The youthful glintse tints and
color are again IN your hair.
