If anyone had tried to tell me a month ago that there are caves and caverns in this state that can hold their own with anything that Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia or Colorado -have to offer, I would have ned attentively while I was figurin’ out in my mind whether to call a cop or an alien- ist. But. after my experience “st Marianna last week, brother, I'm * about ready to believé anything anyone might tell me as to the wonders, charms, . beauties or ad. vantages of Florida. Honest, if some guy stepped up to me right now and tried to con- vince me that there was a moun- tain peak somewhere in Florida with a glacier runnin’ down one side and a flock of polar bears playin’ leap-frog on the other, I might be a bit skeptical, but I'd hesitate before I call him a liar. If these archaelogical WPA workers were to uncover a mass of Egyptian pyramids or a lean’ in’ tower of Pisa somewhere be- tween the Alabama line and the Florida Straits, it wouldn't sur- prise me irr the least. But gettin’ back to my story: Over in Marianna I ran. into a chap named Yancey, who is secre- ptary of: the--Chamber. of Com- merce, and right away he insists that I let him take me;out to see the Caverns. + fListen”, I says, “you're a nice but I ain't got no time to be run- nin’ ‘round the woods lookiri" at gopher yholes”,. .. x “Gopher holes”, he snorts, “wait "till you see “em!” And since he was a lot bigger than I am and had a kind of determined glint in his eve, I figured maybe I'd better go along and avoid trouble. Now I have visited the Mam- moth Cave in Kentucky, the Cave of the Winds in Colorado, and a lot of lesser caves in other parts of the country, but folks I'm tell- in’ you this mess of caverns up in Jackson county can hold their own with any of ’em. Now it seems that guy Yancey is a kind of a Cave Man, not the type you see in the movies wear-. in’ a leopard-skin sports suit and carryin’ a slab of pine tree for a cane, but a sort of 1938 model, in a busi ‘suit, and cafryin’ 2 flashigiht. Well, he took me about three miles from town for @ or trip through a portion of the v Caverns State Park, a 1400: reservation being developed natiémal playground by the ida Board of Forestry and ‘Park Servite. Among the fea planned are a golf course, natural bridge, athletic area, aquarfum and fish hatchery and museum. Bridle paths throughout the area will invite the visitor while ex- cellent swimming and boating will be available. But the big feature will be the underground caverns where the amazed visitor will be carried through a maze of passageways into fourteen separate rooms or compartments, each of them a veritable fairy palace, with fan- i ever-changing scenes at provided by clustered s and stalagmites, woven i ¢ masterpieces by Moth- er Nature, and no one knows how long she has been at the task.

The Golden Rule says some- thing about doing to others as you want them to do to you, my iast suggestion therefore is, show to friend architect and friend build- er at all times that you recognize that what is to the advantage of one is to the advantage of all, and that you propose on your part to be helpful. friendly and sincere throughout the trials and the satisfactions of building a house. for that reason, by no means al- feally até*for Ufficietity and com- ¥e ‘in by discarding 3 grim’ what iS mere- ly traditional—I mean ‘by _ tha’ look at your requirements from a fresh’ viewpoint, 2fid Walt want things a certain way simply be- cause you always had them that way, when your architect or yourself can find something simp- ler, more really convenient and more reasonable.

Don’t be too easily sat- isfied, try a dozen times, if need be, to get just the perfect plan, for changes when drawing the plans cost nothing, but changes when building the house are amazingly expensive.

(My Associated Press) TOKYO, March 25.—Formosa fishermen have turned a partial- ly submerged volcano crater into a bait hatchery,. thus bringing the prized tunny swimming into their nets. The crater is inclosed on-three sides. Over the fourth the fishermen have rigged a net. When sardines, the chief bait for tunny, have multiplied within the crater, the net is raised and out swim the sardines. Tunny seem to get submarine signals and swim toward the freed sardines. The fishermen, drifting along with the school of bait, have only to scoop in their prey. 1751—This day, the beginning of the year in England and Amer- ica, lost the distinction when changed to Jan. 1 by Act of Eng- lish Parliament. 1919—America’s first food ship for the relief of the starving reached Germany. 1922—Beginning of railway shop strike. 1929—Pres.
