the youngsters met the require
ments for admission to the Or
chard Villa school under Florida's
pupil assignment law.
The law makes no mention OF

tempt to preserve segregation as
much as possible. 1t clearly states
that children shall be assigned to
schools "to which they are consid-
cred best suited on the basis OF
scholastic, psychological and physi-
cal factors"

To make our. program Of the
Spring complete we plan to take
you to the charm spot Of the Deep
South on Sunday, April IL, 1859.
Attempts to capture the enchant-
ment of Bellingrath Gardens in
words have always failed. Only an
actual visit to this floral wonder
land can reveal the breathtaking
beauty, the sense of peace and
quiet that are to be found beneath
the ancient, moss-draped oaks.
Overhead myriad stately pines
whisper lazily and gracious mag
nolias are silvered by the sun,
while a never-changing pageant
of flowers splashes vivid color be-
low. Each turn in the garden path
presents new vistas of beauty that
leave q lasting impression on the
visitor.
If you are interested in taking
this tour with us please make
reservation by April 8, 1859.
