SCHOOL BOARD WANTS SALES TAX INCREASE

Dade County School Board anxious over its lack of
school facilities for it's surgng population would like the
sales tax in Dade County increased from three to
four cents
The recommendation accepted by the school board
was the result of study made by 15-member Citizens
Advisory Committee which said the would raise
about $7O0OOOO the first and go far toward meet
ing the estimated $123 585750 that will be needed be-
tween now and 1865 if the school system to keen up
with the population. ~
The proposal would have to be presented to the State
Legislature by the Dade County Delegation However
there little chance of its success since State Rep Geo
OKe is not in favor of it. and he thinks the proposaI
would need the delegations unanimous support

Soon afterward, the idea spread
to the French Riviera where
wealthy vacationers jumped at the
chance to learn the new and un-
usual sport. Eventually American
water enthusiasts began to expert

Water skiing, in addition to
being a thrilling and spectacular
sport, is one Of the easiest to learn.

with half Of them over 40 years of
age"
In addition to becoming a popu-
lar participant sport, water skiing
has grown as a tournament event.
IN 1889 the first National Waters
Ski Tournament was held at Jones
Beach State Park. Since then there
nave been numerous regional, ma
tional and international meets.
So phenomenal has been the
growth of the sport in the past
twenty years that it is rare to see
a large lake without several skiers
skimming the surface leaving a
wake Of white water behind them.
Most skiers content themselves
with crossing and recrossing their
tow boats wakes, jumping several
feet each time. More accomplished
skiers do acrobatics and several
chOTeOgraphers have interpreted
popular dances as ballets for water
ski groups who dance" them with
musical accompaniment. In addition
to its obvious visual attraction.
water skiing is one of the most
entertaining outdoor sports and
cost Of skis, boat and motor is
within the economic range Of most
families.

Water Skiing
Is Popular Sport

Proving that there "is always
room for one more, lin this case a
new sport on the horizOn-water
skiing has captured the imagination
and fancy Of thousands Of Ameri-
cans who are making it a major
outdoor recreation.
A thrilling sport that requires a
minimum Of equipment-skiis and
toW-bOat-water skiing has ex-
peFienced a phenomenal growth
IN a relatively short time.
The principle involved in towing
man or woman on a board behind
rapidly moving boat had been an
piled to surf boards in the 1S5O's.
The sport Of aqua-planing, as it
was known, never became popular
due in part to the need for expen-
sive towing craft.
According to Wharton and Bar
nard, EVinrude Dealer, Milford
Delaware:
When the first water skiers in.
the country began to make their
appearance the most common re-
mark was something like why
didn't anyone think Of that be-
fore? The answer, Of course, is
that without powerful. lightweight
motors and speedy runabouts, the
sport could never develop.
Records of the American Water
Ski Association indicate that the
first water skier on record is a
French Ski Trooper who took to the
water on a dare from friends who
suggested he go ski-ioering behind
a motor boat. Ski-joering consists
