stock. Florida East Coast Rail-
way is in bankruptcy.
This was announced by Pres

''We are convinced that it is
in the best interest of rapidly
growing Florida and the ship
ping public generally, as well as
of the three railroads involved,
that the Florida East Coast Rail-
way be reorganized as an inde-
pendent and separately-owne
railroad and retain its identity
as Florida enterprise" they
said. 1--WE also feel that it would
be very harmful to everyone con-
cerned. except the Atlantic Coast
Line, for that railroad to absorb

VARIED PICKUP

CALGARY = up = A city po-
lice cruiser found a stray goat
wandering around in southwest
Calgary and loaded it into the
back seat for a ride to the pound.
On the way, the police saw a man
weaving down the street. They
picked him up as a drunk, and put
him in the back seat with the goat
rather than make two trips.
