It’s just for you. ; .and you! . .and you, whoever you may be; | provided only one” thing — that| you want to be thoroughly enter- tained when you go to the movies! | In this production, which co-stars | Bing Crosby, Jane Wyman and| Ethel Barrymore, there is more | solid entertainment per foot than | it has been our privilege to enjoy | in some time. | To begin with, Bing has never | had a better musical score. There | are 11 new tunes in the film, many of which you must have al-| teady heard and been captivated by — including “Zing a Little] Zong,” “Just For You,” “I'll Si- Si Ya in Bahia” and “The Live Oak Tree,” to name only a few, Bing and Jane do “Zing a Little Zong” as a duet in a way similar to their rendition of “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening,” the smash hit song of their previous co-starring success, ‘‘Here Comes the Groom.” They not only sing| it; they dance it, and you'll love| every minute and verse of it. | Lovely Jane Wyman is a song- and-dance girl to reckon with and ‘it’s really something to watch this star, who won the Academy A- ward for her dramatic portrayal in “Johnny Belinda,” carve out a new} career for herself in the musical field. And the revealing costumes she wears in the film show her to be one of Hollywood’s most curva- ceous cuties, too! Ethel Barrymore lends her illus- trious presence to the gay proceed- ings in a part that bounces with humor and warmth, that of the headmistress of a fashionable school for girls attended by Bing’s young daughter. The story of “Just For You” concerns long-time widower Bing’s | efforts to marry Jane in the face of problems created by his two teen- age children. Before the happy ending a wonderful time is had by | all who are lucky enought to be watching. Based on “Famous” by Stephen Vincent Benet, this will long be remembered as one of Bing’s best — and it’s in color by Technicolor, too! It’s a picture you must see! | CITY FISHING PIER ¢eontinued from Page One) largest measuring about 15 inches. Another fishing enthusiast was Mrs. Allen Dixon of Memphis, \e east winds.

This program, Bailey said, guar- | antees every child in Florida a minimum financial support for ed- ucation; gets the money where the money is and spends it on the children where the children are; | and provides that every county | must do its share according to the | county’s ability. : “The Minimum Foundation Pro- gram,” Bailey said, ‘is the most important single improvement in Florida schools in the history of |our state. Not only has it helped Florida’s school children, but it has earned for Florida nationwide approbation and is now the pattern for educational improvement in other states.” Another giant step forward was the School Building Amendment No. 1, recommended in 1951. License Tax Funds This proposal guarantees from auto license receipts $400 per in- structional unit or per teacher per year to be used for school construc- tion. This $400 allocation per year stands for the next 30 years, he said, ard counties can borrow a- gainst anticipated income to build schools, now, Bailey said. “On November 24 of last year,” he added, ‘“‘we opened bids on the first $15,000,000 for seven counties of what we estimate may be per- haps $80,000,000 of school consttuc- tion bonds this year — and Flori- | da now has under way the sound- | est school construction program to be found anywhere in the nation. “The second issue, for $30,571,000 | for 28 counties, is now being vali- | dated by the courts and construc- | tion should get under way this sum- mer,” he added. Construction Told In the past 12 months, Bailey said, 1,150 classrooms have been built and thousands more are on the drawing boards. These two programs — the Min- imum Foundation Program and the School Building Amendment — are offering Florida children “educa- tional opportunities unsurpassed anywhere,” Bailey said. He added that Florida s are staffed by some of the best qualified teachers in the nation. “In fact,” he said, when it comes to college preparation to teach, our teachers rank in the top seven of the 48 states with more than 96 per cent of them holding college degrees.” Still Have Problems However, said Bailey, there are still problems to be solved. The surging school enrollment is one big problem, he said. “For the past 12 years we have had the third largest percentage increase in the nation of our en- rollments,” he added. | He said Florida’s birth rate dou- | bled from 1939 to 1949 besides the large numbers of families with children who are moving into the state. He said there were an estimated | 645,000 children in school in Flori- da now and that the enrollment will go up again next year. Securing qualified teachers, es- pecially for the elementary grades, he said, was another problem. Teacher Shortage Bailey pointed out that of the 5,000 new teachers employed this year, about 4,000 of them came came from out of the state. To help solve the critical teath- er shortage, he added, the state has initiated a teacher recruit- ment program to induce more Flo- rida students to enter teaching. “I think more young people are going into teaching this year than ever before,” he added. Bailey also said tnat “we must continue to secure sufficient funds to adequately finance our school program.” Masons Commended Before swinging into the main body of his speech, Bailey com- | mended the Masonic Fraternity of Monroe County for making last |night’s meeting possible. The Masons brought Bailey here as part of Public Schools Week. “The Masons,” Bailey said, “have been sponsoring these meet- ings throughout the state for the years.” Anchor Lodge was the host lodge |for last night’s meeting. Bailey also was guest of honor at a dinner given by the Masons prior to the meeting last night. Horace O’Bryant, Monroe Coun- ty superintendent of public instruec- tion, introduced Bailey as well as several prominent Masons who sat on the speaker’s platform.
