United States Supreme Courts decision segregation in
public schools null and void"
Attorney General Richard Irwin, avowed segrega-
onist praised the resolution saying the will
of the majority of the people of Florida in opposing nte
grafton.
Irwin believes the effect of the resolution is that the
majority of the people does not want Florida schools In
tegrated and they won't be- Mr. Irwin could be wrong
Gov. Leroy Collins disagrees with the Attorney Cen

that racial conditions in the state going pretty good

There was some other opposition to the resolution.
Senators Doyle Carlton of Wauchula j. B. Rodgers of

Tuxedo Park is Exclusive Subdivision

After long planning and detail /
ed layout the results are in. The
people definitely have been wait
ing for a subdivision with better
type homes and that all impor-
tant cloSe-in location.
Tuxedo Park, a well planned
community of better homes with
a minimum "a #. wide lots, S #.
wide sidewalks and city water,
and that exclusive touch of a
partly walled-in subdivision.
Tuxedo Park homes at NV 18th
st. and 18th Ave. enjoyed their
spectacular grand opening las.
Sunday with over 400 people
turning out to see and to inspect
the two model homes. The devel-
opers were given many comcli-
nents for their work and design
| ing of these homes. The most of
al, important feature is the "a #.
wide lots, which gives approx
imately 40 #. of space between
each home for real private living.
Another all important item is
taxes. Tuxedo Park homes have
county taxes only.
Some of the many features to
, be found in these homes are
patio sliding glass doors with
sliding screens. Highly polished
terrazzo floors, all glass jalousy
windows. Large, fully tiled bath
room in color with built-in for
mica vanity and Mr.. and Mrs.
sliding door medicine cabinets.
The kitchen is a work of art with
RCA whirlpool all electric built
in over and range top, hood and
fan above the range to take out
all smoke and odors. Large
double compartment sinks with
Stray attachment set in beautiful
form top formica cabinets. A
built-in wall clock and door
chime combination, and for the
last word in conveniences, be-
hind two bamboo sliding door unit
is the complete set UP for an
automatic washer and dryer, in
Guiding drain. Spacious closets
with sliding doors. The latest
modern tap on light switches and
beautiful lighting fixtures. The
dining room features an imported

many outstanding features too
numerous to mention. A trip out
to see Tuxedo Park homes will be
well worth visit to anyone look
ing for the home of their dreams.

Letter to The Editor

April 16, 1857
To the Editor, The Miami Times
Miami, Florida
Dear Sir:
/ must commend you on the
wonderful editorial entitled
"Rallying to a Leader, appearing
in the April 10 Issue of the Miami
Times.
AS a friend and co-worker OF
the Rev. Edward T. Graham for
many years, it was with a thank
full heart that I read your fair
and understanding words about a
courageous and most able leader.
This editorial reflected as your
editorials always do, each week
since I have known your paper,
the high standards you maintain.
A new1parer can try to increase
its circulation for a time, with
scandal sheet tactics, but in the
long run, it makes friends over
the years, and keeps its readers
because of its integrity and high
standards of journalism, as the
Miami Times has always done.
i consider it a privilege to be
able to be a part of your news
paper each week for paper to
maintain high standards is not al
ways easy, and very often it re-
quires real courage and moral
stamina.
A newspaper is an integral part
of a community, and so can in
fluence it's readers for good or
evil very easily. / salute the Mi
ami Times for its sense of justice
and its expression of the right.
Without the freedom of thought
and expression of free press we
would be poor indeed in this
community.
Sincerely,
Ruth w. Perry
