Boys and girls, the youngest being 7 years of age and the old- lest 15, displaying with pride, bi- cycles they received for Christ-! mas, flooded the office on Trum- bo Island, last night and this |morning, eager to enter their names for the parade.

The idea of creating a techni- {change in temperature; moderate | color movie travelogue of Florida was conceived by general mana- ger T. B. O’Steen of the Florida {Motor Lines and Burgert Broth- jers, commercial photographers jand official staff photographers for LIFE magazine, were commis- {sioned to film the picture. Compared to the average ‘commercial” film production it stands unique in that its charac- ter and text has been so careful- ly and cleverly edited that in j witnessing the picture one finds ‘it so pleasing and entertaining | that they do not find the occa- sional flash of a de-luxe FML bus {blending with the picture the ‘least bit offensive and find it jrather adds than detracts from the general appeal which so de- lightfully presents Florida in all her glorious charm and beauty. While the Florida Motor Lines may claim the honor of having produced the feature, it might well have been released by the State of Florida or the State Chamber of Commerce since, like a well known soap, it is 99 and 99/100 per cent PURE Florida Promotion and one _ one-hun- dredth Florida Motor Lines. Every point of interest on all state routes of FML are gener- ously and attractively shown and when this marvelous film is shown as it will be at the Na- tional conventions and before various organizations throughout the country, it will do a wonder- ful selling job for the state as a whole.

Under the proposed legislation, no per- son under 16 could drive a car unless a licensed driver was | present, except on a learner’s permit. All persons above 16, who drive at present, would be given a license upon payment of 25 cents fees, on proof they have driven more than 500 miles. Pe- riodic examinations are provided for. License would be revoked for a number of causes, such as drunken driving, being driver of a hit-and-run car, three con- victions for reckless driving within 12 months, manslaughter through use of the motor car, perjury in connection with auto ownership or maintenance, using the car to comit a felony, and other causes.
