From The Grand Strand
Bv CLAUDE DUNNAGAN

Most Grand Stranders will re-
member that, not so long ago
there was a big road sign on
highway II about midway be-
tween Crescent Beach ard Cream
Drive Beach which read, "Drive
on to DAYTONA BEACH, the
worlds most beautiful strand"
The sign was recently taken
down for some reason or other.
Maybe their lease ran out, or
maybe the Daytona Beach Cham
Der of Commerce got emharrass-
ed. Anyway, we just found out
that the land the sign was erect
ed on was leased from an aunt
of Mr.. I. E. Case, President of the
OCEAN DRIVE BEACH CHAM.
Der OF COMMERCE, and one
of Ocean Drive Beach's biggest
boosters! (Mr. Case knows that
the worlds most beautiful strand
is right here.)
On recent Sunday night, lit
/ tie Ebert Jordan, Jr., age 4, was
attending the weekly "commun.
ity hymn sing" at the Trinity
methodist Church at Crescent
Beach. The congregation was
singing a not-too-well known
hymn when Ebert, Jr., piped I'D
in loud voice to his aunt, Mrs
Mae Baldwin, CAV, that's moi
lany good. Let's sing Silent
Night" When nobody paid him
Iany attention, he turned his
hymn book upside down and be
gan singing "Silent Night" any
way. all by himself, and is 6
well-heard voice. The congrega
ton got tickled and could hardly
finish its own hymn.
