But a gentleman by that name or maybe I should say “them”) mee held the exalted position of Governor of Florida. He wasn’t lected to the office—he just as- iumed the title and held it until he time of his death. a +We'know him today by the ,more-abbreviated name of Her- nando de.Soto and in order that groper tribute might be paid him on the 400th anniversary of his vanding in Florida, Congress ap- pointed a special commission three years’ ago to dig into the and get all the informa- jion possible concerning this il- ious Spaniard and his famed ition. Ferreting among ancient and nusty records of Spain, Cuba and the two Americas, the com- nission patiently and diligently dug out facts and information which was checked and re-check- od, tabulated, verified and finally assembled bit by bit in its proper relation to weave the amazing, «) solorful and interesting story of “he life’ and adventures of the reat explorer. gp a Hernando De Soto, F FE Officials See Florida Worl?’s Fair Exhibit Miniature i H Brown, i i exhibit, on display at F ios ; Ft Florida a q sky, featuring will be jlucation and a5 paet | | e@eerccescac:---acececesere EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD aoe a miniature of the Florida exhibit.

Besides the fact that the trim, little, blue sloop with its, deep racing keel Was a mighty beauti- ful sight to see sailing into the Basin, there’ is’ many another more interesting fact about the boat and its owners. Basin and Rivous have brought , their petite boat across the open waters from Nassau to Miami twice. On the last triip, which was undertaken in June, they made the perilous deep-sea jour- _ney in 36 sailing hours, three days al new buildings and many) unique and. interesting features. Partivipating in the event, the Federal government has appoint- ed Dr. Alexand i Commissioner of the Pan appropriated king this cele- anniversary of sailing. They were at one time blown 150 miles off their course, and sailed 500 miles to make the stretch of 180 miles from Nassau to Miami. On the way over they stopped at Bimini and the Berry islands for brief rests. Such an experienced young captain must have some — back- ground, it would appear. And he has. His father has been a mem- ber of the Nassau British House’! =e ° here a day or so—having started down the Keys merely for a short sail out of Miami and then de- cided to come on down to Key ‘West—but he states that he sees already where it’s going to be a hard thing to break away from ; the Island City. eeecceccceceseqvesssoaer Today’s Horoscope Today gives strong passions.

Basil wished to make the trip without help from home. So in his little sloop he takes along charter parties and thus keeps go- ing on a very narrow budget. Aft- er making the first crossing from the Bahamas, he secured a party going back. and realized $80 from that trip. That was enough for a few extra chocolate sodas, he said, Into his father’s boatworks he went, and secured paint and materials on all hands to repair the little boat.
