MIAMI. Fla, May. 4.--Busi- recone ip in the march to ness is so good in Florida that the; state officially is going to cele- brate the upturn with an All-Flor- ida Pioneers’ Day on May 5. The Pioneers’ Day celebration is an outgrowth of the first All- i Florida Doherty Day set aside in { March, 1933, to honor Col, Doher- ty for his work in Florida. When a second day was proposed by the committee this year, Col. Doherty wired from New York that «inex it is Florida that has triumphed depression and not a single citizen,” he could not accept the tribute for himself and proposed instead a day of honor to al! those pioneers, both living and who have contributed to Florida's prosperity. “Personally.” he telegraphed. “t will be glad to play a part in thix occasion, to the end that the entire nation may know of Flor. ida’s initiative and faith, that every other state in our country may discover in Plorida’s leader- ship a pattern for a planned pros- perity of ite own.” Originally conceived as a sec- WAS; ond All-Florida Doherty Day, to} jpay tribute a second year to the! efforts of Col.
