QciurToOrJ Dear readers of the Home Paper; Tea, hen we are hundreds of miles apart, yet every week The Weekly corns to oar door with fresh news from home, and how we enjoy it! We have settled in the "Year Bound Vacation City", Tampa Fla, for sev eral weeks. The Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce reports more than a quar ter million tourists visit the city year ly. Although this is more of an in dustrial city, yet there are many spots of interest and historical sites to en joy. We were fortunate to arrive in good time for Gasperilla's Golden Jubilee th 50th year of Pirate Pageantry. For1 a half century each year this festival has taken place here com memorating the time when the . Span ish explorers came to Florida in .the 16th century in search of gold. From the citrus seeds they left has sprung a wealth undreamed of by the explor ers. Spreading over the state's "hills" to the edges of the thousands of lakes, citrus groves today are the foundation of Florida's second largest industry. The State Department of Agriculture said as of October 1, 1953, the State had 462,816 acres of groves of citrus fruits, farmed the world over. Near the Tampa University grounds ceived a large great of ILi'LU la: . daring English occupation. Few bananas grow in the state, however, every week tons of these flow through the Port of Tampa from Central America and the South Amer ican countries of Columbia and Ecqua dor. The green fruit is shipped under refrigeration, loaded into trucks and hauled to market throughout tbo South into the Midwest. Florida is a land of natural won ders, many of these attractions we have enjoyed on this visit and the one before, such as Silver Springs, Cyp ress Gardens, Rainbow Springs, Ross Alluis Reptiles Institute, Bok Tower and others. , Florida is also rich in mineral pro ducts such as phosphate, limestone, Kaolin, etc. ' , Recently while a party of us were touring a section of the state we, saw huge pieces of machinery digging for minerals. On this trip we paid a short visit to some Perquimans County folks Roy and Burnette Winslow Lane and two boys, living in their rolling home at Orlando. They looked happy and prosperous. If any . of you desire to visit us while here we will welcome you and share with you good gulf fish, hush puppies, fruit juices and strawberry shortcake. Sincerely Mr. and Mrs. I J. Winslow . .Ice Long wi'Ji lira. Carey Priv ott as joint hostess. . The meeting opened with all join ing in singing "Work for the Night Is Coming.?
