CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY, Kev West, Fla. Invites you to a FREE LECTURE ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE By Peter B. Biggins, C. S. B. of Seattle, Washington Member of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. Subject: “CHRISTIAN SCIENCE: THE SCIENCE OF DIVINE POWER” In the HARRIS SCHOOL AUDITORIUM on Southard Street Thursday Evening, March 18, 1937, at 8:00 o’Clock YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ARE CORDIALLY INVITED i would cost $1,265,000, The State Road Department has before it a proposal to construct a barrier with discarded troliey vails, Officigls have ceclared that the highway in itself is not unusually dangerous but that the long, leve! stretches of straightaway tempt motorists to unsafe speeds, The pavement, now nine years od, is wavy and rough in spots, w'th un- expected bumps which might throw a car out of control if hit at high speed. Sheriff D. C. Coleman said h's linvestigation showed most aeci- |dents due to excessive speed, Oth- ers have reported the same find- ing, Lut all are agreed that some means of preventing automobiles from plunging into the cana! must be found. Seventeen Killed Thergreatest loss of life in a single accident was last January 25 when a Tampa-bound bus plung- ed into the water, Seventeen of its 32 occupants were drowmed, It was that tragedy that spurred officials to renewed safety ef- forts, But a greater to'l has been taken in less spectacular accidents in which one, two or three lost their lives, The Tamiami Trail had its be- ginning back in 1915, but it was more than 10 years later that the state entered the picture and a major effort was made to com- plete it. Gonstruction crews had to wade through miles of water, mud and sawgrass. For many miles the only material obtainable was rock (blasted from the coral floor of the | Everglades. | Sickness at times took a toll of as high as a third of the worker: but the project was complete: j without the loss of a single life or a man being permanenily disabled. With the Tamami Trail’s open- ng motorists not only had a di- jrect road between Tampa and M jemi but had opened to them a vas' region of the Everglades whi had been seen only by the na Seminole Indians and hunters. The region is covered with lush tropical vegetation and flowers, land is rich in wi'd life. Thousands of birds and animals, protected by game laws, are to be seen from the highway. The name Tamiami was formed by combining the words Tampa and Miami, | i | 1 | { | ve | Jecksonville .. Kansas City KEY WEST Litthe Reck Los Angeles. ..
