Willard w. Albury, retiring
superintendent of public instruc-
ton, and School Board was the
purchase of four lots adjoining

the construction of a new build
ing as soon as funds become

Three of the lots were pur-
chased from Joe Pcarlman and

they had been asking for the
property.
The other lot was bought from

$1,000.
The lots are at South and Roy
al avenues, and are right back of

firing Supt. Albury explained that
the present school is now used
for first grade pupils from the
Division Street f mentary
School
This arrangement has be-
come so popular since the board
adopted the plan, parents from
other schools have requested the
same privilege, therefore, the
board, upon my recommendation,
purchased the land on which
new school may later be erected"

Especial to The Citizen,

TALLAHASSEE, Jan. 3.-Lake
Okeechobee and the Everglades
two of the principal units in the
central and south Florida flood
control project, form natural to-
biographical union that has long
hidden many of the diverSitieS of

server and even many of the

THE monotonous flatneSs of
the land is deceptive" Col. A. c..
Matthew. chief engineer of the
state division Of water survey and
research, pointed out here today.
1T all looks the same to the
uninitiated. Maybe that's one of
the, reasons we've been so long
getting a real plan for the area, ="
he said.
Pointing TO the 73D- square mile
cxpanSc of the lake itself, he ex-
planned that before the tough
pioneers began tinkering with it,
the lake had no visible outlet.
And yet there was an outlet al
most as big as the length and
breadth of the lake itself. In
times Of high water. it Just
spilled over the southern rim to
creep slowly southwark in a great
SaWgraSS- covered sheet.
Part of the overflow went
westward to the CalooSahatchee,
and some went to the eastward
to Allapattah, Hungryland, and
LoxahatcheSS sloughs in Martin
and Palm Beach counties.

last week from their first Euro

With e. small group they visited

Milan in Italy, Cat Milan the raw
ages. and scars of the war are
still much visible). Then after to
Lucerne and Luxembourg, Brus-
sells, Amsterdam and across the
channel to England. They were
gone several weeks.
1t was a real holiday for them,
according to Mrs. Myerson who
said, 'We crowded everything we
could into each day. Some of the

one could imagine ones self in
paradise. 1t was as if every noun
tain was scrubbed, every lake
tinted and flowers in profusion

In the larger cities they took
time out so that Mr.. Myerson
could visit the department stores
and observe merchandising meth
ods. While much of it is in keep
ing with the way of life there,
he got many good ideas.
Marilyn made some sort of a
