be all caught up on ‘‘what’s been
going on this last week” but for
now we’ll just report on our
“early vacation” in Flpfida.
Last Thursday we picked up
our 6th grader after lunch (with
a whole week of assignments to
take w(th her) and headed South
on 301, Our “sinus problems”
disappeared somewhere glong the
route and to date they haven't
returned ... we hope this is a
permanent disappearance!
We began to feel like “visiting
royalty” when we arrived in Ft.
Meade, Florida and found a
whole day of celebration had
been planned! ASO unit parade,
with 2 marching bands and the
complete populace turned out to
join the festivities. Os course,
the fact .that it was PTA Coun
try Pair Day wus just a coinci
dence! This was really an un
usual event, Almost 2000 folks
attended the afternoon affair at
the hall park, where a Tampa
TV celebrity oalted Uncle Bruce 1
entertained the children . . . and
the grown-up kids. The event
was topped off by a beauty pa
geant that evening at Which time
“Miss Ft. Meade” was chosen
from 11 lovely contestants. I
had the dubious honor of being
one of the three judges ... by
virtue of being from out of town
and perhaps because I had once
been a member of a Greensboro
Little Theatre group! Ha. It
was really a tough assignment
but a lot of fun
We learned that the PTA al
ways clears over sl,<jO{} from this
day’s activities. Even when it
rains they take in their profit.
I couldn’t believe it when I
learned that the PTA takes out
“ram insurance” to make certain
that their profit is forthcoming!
Now I’ve heard everything!

William Holton is pastor) is a

lovgly church with friend
ly people that: made us feel right
at hcgne. It teemed gUpost like
a Sunday at home, since 1 taught
the youpg Indies’ Sun
day School class and MR Allred
did the preaching fpr the day.
Ft. Meade folks love to sing and
we heard some good music- dur
ing both services. Marie is the
interim music director (directing
6 choirs) and educational direc
tor, which makes her a paid full
time staff worker of the church.
Since she spends most of her
time over there, she leaves’ the
“home work” in capable hands.
One of (he gracious hostesses
of the church had both preach
er’s families for lunch on Sunday
and again we felt like someone
special as a beautifully decorated
cake graced the buffet table with
“Welcome Allreds” on it! • We
learned later that our hostess
was the caterer for all the
church suppers and most of' the
civic functions for the town. We
should have guessed when • we
saw the groaning serving table!
On Monday I R£AH,Y felt
like the celebrity! Marie had
told me that one of her - good
friends was entertaining gt lunch
in my honor, but when we ar
rived (just outside of Ft. Meade)
at the ACE RANCH, I had to
pinch myself to believe what I
saw! The A. C. Wrights, who
own the cattle (brahamas) ranch,
also have phosphate mines and
citrus groves as far as you can
see! The home is without a
doubt more beautiful than any
thing I have ever seen. There
was air conditioning throughout
the house, wall to wall carpeting
or tiling and pine panelling
everywhere you looked. A patio
pool outside the sliding glassed
in dining area was like a movie
set, it was so blue. In her kitch
en, Mrs. Wright has pn atomic
oven, double built-in refrigera
tors, restaurant warming ovens
THE CHOWAJT gERAUS, TTqaTH CABQfcgSA. TSgtmgDA?. APRIL 30,
I (to keep the ranchers’ meals hot
for hours without drying out),
disposal unit, and everything
that you could imagjne for con
venience sake in preparing a
meal. In the utility room there
was a complete laundry plus the
heating and air conditioning
units. Outside the house there
was a tool room built on the
back of the garage which also
has private bath houses for the
workmen on the ranch plus a
dressing room where they can
clean up before going home if
they like. Off the business of
fice (and den for Mr. Wright) is
also a private bath and closet
Which Mrs. Wright says always
has a complete change of cloth
ing so he can get out of his
“ranch clothes and be present
able before he comes into the
rest of the house! Incidentally,
we were curious about the
shelves of shoes ... all sizes
and all kinds . . . which we saw
in the garage, just off the side
entrance of the house. Mrs.
Wright laughingly told us that
her two boys . . . and her hus
band . . . always left their “out
side” shoes here and changed to
another pair with soft soles be
fore coming in on that gorgeous
carpet! This sounded like a
pretty sensible solution to me.
The garage houses the two
“Cadillacs”, the one station wa
gon and the speed boat. The
two boys in the family have a
suite of rooms, bedroom and den
combination with their own color
TV. They have walk-in closets,
hath and their own outside en
trance. The 13-year-old daugh
ter has a dream room that any
little girl would drool over!
Mrs. Wright’s bedroom looked
Uke a picture in some “house
beautiful” ad. I almost got lost
in her walk-in hat closet! I
thought for a while I was in a
department store or a hat shop!
I would have bedn delighted to
just look at the house, but in
addition to getting my fill of
"seeing how the other half live”
... ha ... I also thoroughly
enjoyed the luncheon. Mrs.
Wright had invited 25 ladies to
lunch and we had about a do
zen of the most delectible salads
that you’ve ever tasted. I ate
dishes I had never even heard
of before! I decided that this
was dangerous ... I could learn
to like this kind of living!
From Monday through Wed
nesday nights, my husband and
I each taught one of the books
on Baptist Heritage to Ft. Meade
Baptists. We had about 100
coming and they were gracious
in being good listeners . . .
(Honorarium for these studies
made it possible to take this
“early vacation” so we were
grateful for the opportunity to do
this).
Wednesday evening the whole
Training Union group brought
their supper and ate together at
the church before the last ses
sion, so we had some more good
fellowship with them. We hated
to leave on Thursday morning.
Our families get together so sel

knew each other.
We got a special tbrill in see
ing all the orange groves as we
traveled back and forth. Polk
County, where Ft. Meade is lo
cated, is the citrus capital of
the world. It is also one of the
largest producers of beef cattle
in the world. The black angus
is the most popular breed and
can be seen everywhere you look
on the rolling hills.
One other industry makes
Polk County a very wealthy
area. This is the phosphate min
ing. One third of the world’s
phosphate needs are met 'by the
“Bone Valley” formation, a
shield shaped area some 50 miles
long and 40 miles wide. Land
values increased from $1.50 per
acre to S2OO per acre when these
rich deposits were accidently j
found. The Florida Geological I
Survey has said there are still
over 800 million tons of phos
phate in Bone Valley in Polk
County.
One of the most fascinating
things we saw was a huge drag
line (especially manufactured for
Virginia Chemical Co.) which is
used in the phosphate mining.
Mr. Red Collier of Ft. Meade
is the only man who can operate
this giant piece of equipment . . .
and incidentally this is the only
one like it in the world. The
company took Mr. Collier out
to Wisconsin to see it being man
ufactured, and taught him how to
operate it. It has an air-condi
tioned cab . . . and cost TWO
MILLION DOLLARS; It weighs
over 1,500 tons and can remove
over 2,000 cubic yards of earth
an hour! Lynn learned some
things this week that the books
could not impress on her.
I suppose our stop at Marine
land on the way home was
Lynn’s biggest thrill. This is one
of the most fascinating places
I’ve ever seen . . . with the edu
cated porpoise and whales and
all the under-sea activity that
you can watch. I think this
would be my idea of an ideal
family stopping place in Florida
and one that was well worth
the price of admission!
We appreciated North Caro
lina’s good .roads before we left
but they looked even better af
ter seeing some of South Caro
lina and Georgia's narrow rougo
strips. We saw the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge-Tunnel opening ad
vertised as far down as Daytona
Beach and we decided after see
ing so many Canadian licenses
and other northern states, that
some of them had already found
this route opened up to them.
It was a most enjoyable trip,
marred only by the knowledge
that two of our church family
had died in our absence and we
had not been able to share the
time of sorrow for the family,
t It was doubly good to get
home and find that someone had
missed you!
