C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1937 CHATTING PERTINENT COMMENT ON TIMELY TOPICS By HARRY BOATE Leaving Charlotte early on a recent momihg for a pleasant auto trip, myself, my wife and her sister headed southward and traveled to Rock Hill, South Carolina, where a stop was made for breakfast. After partaking of a healthy meal, we again started on our way, down through Chester, Winnsboro, and then to Columbia, reaching there well before the morning had a good start. A short' stop for fuel and a casual glance at passing traffic, we were soon on United States Hhighway No. 1 and traveling with considerable speed toward our destination, which was .Umatilla, Florida. Weather was fine and traffic light, so an interesting ride took us on through Aiken, S. C., and finally to Augusta, Georgia, where an hour or so was taken for lunch and exercise. Augusta is quite an interesting city and deserving of more time than we had to spare, but one cannot always do the things wished, so once more we boarded the car and continued down the road. Late in the afternoon tire trouble developed, which required the services of a wayside garage. Immediate help not being available, an hour or more was employed as best we could enjoying nature in the rough as it appeared where we were stranded. Help finally arrived and we were again able to travel. While repairs w'ere being made we learned of a detour on our way, which called for a change of route, also a change of city in which it was planned to spend the night. Waycross was our intended stop, but Baxley, Georgia, won the honors. Little trouble was experienced in finding com fortable and pleasant quarters in a tourist home. A good supper and a quiet stroll about the town sight seeing, put us in good condition for a night of rest, which was begun at an early hour. Early the following morning once more on our way, but instead of to Waycross we cut east toward Brunswick. Roads good and traffic light, a good pace was maintained and shortly we were on Highway 17 and going toward Jacksonville, which city we reached and passed through well before noon. Crossing St. John’s rive we were on our way for., St. Augustine, but in some manner not yet explaned we failed to make * the right turn at the right time, so it was not long before we found ourselves facing the ocean and quite a number of houses and hotels. This later proved to be Jack sonville Beach. Since we were on more or less of a pleasure trip, this di version of route made what proved to be a pleasant event, for we connected with a new road leading close to the beach and finally brought us to St. Augustine, where a stop was made for lunch. Riding about for a short while, again our way led us southward. At Ormond we crossed the Halifax river and went to the beach for a view of the ocean, which was rather rough and a pleasant sight to us inland dwellers. Returning to the river, an in spection was made of The Casements and surrounding grounds, which are very beautiful. It will be remembered this is the famed home of John D. Rockefeller, and the house in which he died recently. Following the river route, a short drive and we were at Daytona Beach, where another stop was made for a view of the ocean, which was thoroughly enjoyed. Watching the waves rolling/ toward shore is an attraction to many, and we may be in cluded with them., Daytona Beach and the city of Daytona, on the main and, are both clean, beautiful cities, and it is small wonder that so many people desire to spend the winter months at these famed spots. It is now but a short drive to the end of our journey, which is soon made, arriving in late afternoon. We received a hearty welcome and pro ceeded to make ourselves at perfect ease in the home of a cousin and her family. The home is located in the midst of orange and grapefruit trees, a short distance from a number of lakes, and if one tires of wandering, in the groves, fishing and boating on the lakes are next in order, or, wishing more to rest, a pleasant porch and good reading are handy. Conversation much in order, since it is some time since we have met. Again there is a nice little town to walk about in and chat with the residents, who are not opposed to meeting and chatting with visitors, and doing all possible to make your stay pleasant and invite you to remain and become one of them. The truth is that many of those who are residents today were at one time visitors who decided to stay, and they all seem to be well pleased with the choice they made. A side trip for a few hours is made to the beautiful city of Orlando, and to find a more beautiful little city would be some task. The streets remind one much of a larger city, for sidewalks are crowded with shoppers, and there are many stores well stocked with all manner o( merchandise, and all places of business are clean and bright, streets clean, all manner of SOME REAL VALUES IN LATE MODELS Buick ‘47* Sedan..$165 1931 Hudson 8 Sedan .$200 1930 Chrysler 66 Coupe_$125 1932 Ford V-8 Coach.*..$175 1929 Ford Coach __$125 1931 Olds 6 Sedan_$225 jl932 Plymouth Sedan ..$245 1931 Plymouth Sedan .$165 1931 Pierce-Arrow Sedan ..1145 1928 LaSalle Sedan ...1160 THOMAS CADILLAC-0LDSMOBILE CO. ! 50 CARS TO SELECT FROM $50 TO $1,000 (EASY TERMS FAIR TRADES 500 W.

Another trip took us to Leesburg, returning through Tavares, where a stop was made to inspect the base of a flagpole, which is something worthy of inspection, and in another article an explanation will be attempted, and it is hoped justice can be done to this piece of work.

Good light at the piano is as important as good light for read ing or study. Insufficient or wrong ly placed light, or glaring light, breeds eyestrain.

MILD OBJECTION Natives of the Carolinas are noted for their politeness. In the old days when people still traveled on railroad trains, a passenger was enjoying a smoke in a smoking car. From time to time he expectorated with great satisfaction out of the open window. The rush of air caused by the fast flying train must have interfered with his aim, for a tall, lean Carolinian in the seat just back of him touched him lightly on the shoulder and remarked with great politeness: “Mistah, you done spit on me foh times an’ I aint said nothin’ "bout it. I wouldn’t say nothin’ now ’ceptin’ I got on my best suit of clothes.” subscribe for Hio Journo!
