We—my sister, Mrs. W. T. Cox and her son Warren of Sanford and I—set out for Florida after The Pilot was out on Thursday the 19th, driving down the east coast with stops at Daytona Beach and St. Augustine for sightseeing, en route to Miami. There we spent a few days with Mrs. Cox’s son Sidney, his wife and their two little daughters. We visited Miami Beach, saw all parts of Miami, and toured Vis- cahya, the art museum there which is the former home of James Deering, filled with treas ures from foreign lands. The trip back was through cen tral Florida with its miles of orange groves, making stops at Silver Sjirings, Cypress Gardens and the Bok Singing Tower. Highlight of the week for the Cox brothers was a deep-sea fish ing trip on which they combined efforts to land a grouper whose weight the boat captain estima ted at from 110 to 120 pounds. And now, we ask our readers, please call in and tell us about your vacations, social events and summer activities of all kinds.
