SHERIFF CURRY
LAUNCHES BOAT
RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED
CRAFT TO BE USED FOR
PLEASURE TRIPS

Sheriff Roland Curry's new and
superb cruising launch, the Bar
bara May, the total cost of which
win be approximately $4,000, is
being launched today. A large
United States flag waves from
the stern of the pretty new boat as
she glides down the ways, a dis
tance of about seventy-five feet,
from the place where she was
built to the waters edge.
No formal ceremonies marked
the christening Of the beautiful
Barbara May, and no champagne
moistened the stem of the boat as
she made her first dip into the
sea, but she is "all there" and one
of the most modern and attractive
vessels ever seen in these waters.
The canopy is yet to be built
onto the Barbara May, and there
are numerous finishing touches
to be made before the boat will
be ready for IFS maiden voyage.
Upon striking the water the
boat righted itself to a perfect
balance, and is attracting large
crowds this afternoon to where
she is moored at the Curry fish
dock.

Florida Inventory Congress Advocates
Development OF State In Permanent Way
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
FOR INAUGURATION
OF NEW ADVERTISING
CAMPAIGN

g
PALM BEACH, Fla, April H.
The development of agricul-
tural resources to form a back
bone for the unprecedented real
estate growth in the cities of Flor
ida was sounded as the keynote of
the first Florida Inventory Con-
gress here.
The session brought together
nearly one thousand business men
from all parts Of the state with
the avowed intent Of taking stock
Of Florida's needs and possessions.
"The realization that we actual
~ have liabilities is Florida's
greatest asset Herman A. Damn,
president Of the Florida State
Chamber Of Comm@ce told the
congress. "Our future lies with
the workers and not with those
who have come here merely to
make money. Those who have
flccked here merely for money
making are liabilities to the state
and Il must rid itself of them.
''Let US cease driving lot stakes
where plough shares should be
driven, for every such stake is a
liability" he declared.
Roger Babson, internationally
famous statistician, said that the
needs Of Florida was "more peo-
pie Of character who are anxious
10 do an honest days work and
raise q family Of worthy chill
dren."
To DIR. Babson's mind the "dif-
fieuity with Florida at the pres
ent moment is that some of the
large financial interests in the
north have become frightened at
Eka Tremendous growth here. The
difficulty has been due to their
natnfai temerity against values
that have multiplied so rapidly.
These interests are imbued with
the idea that il takes time to make
values. They must be taught that
this Is not necessary. A property
can just as well increase five OF
ten-fold within five years as with
IN fifty years.
Back to the soil," policies
were sounded by J. C. Penney,
Norfolk, Va, owner Of a chain
store system.
"The future of the state runs
along two obvious paths" he said
~0ne runs down to the ocean and
the other to the vast interior
lands"
Mr.. Penney believed that Flor.
ida's greatest need was for. indus,
trious and intelligent men and
women who would settle the lands
and develop them along permanent
lines.
Near the close Of the session
the delegates adopted resolution
calling upon the governor TO re.
quest that the state attorney gen
sral file suit in the United States
supreme court to test the con,
stitutionality of the federal in
hcritance act. Another resolution
asked that a new advertising cam
paign for Florida be devised.
