May Cut Weeds At Scout Camp County Commissioner Frank Bentley today said a State Road Department engineer was recom- mending that the road department cut the grass and weeds at the Boy Scout camp on West Summer- land Key. The old Overseas Road and Toll Bridge District formerly maintain- ed the five-acre scout camp as far as keeping the weeds and grass trimmed. After the toll district was sus- pended, the weeds were not cut. Bentley wired the governor and the State Road Department, ask- ing for their aid in maintaining the camp. Monday the engineering de- partment at Miami phoned Bent- ley and told him a recommenda- tion that the department maintain the camp site was being forward- ed to Tallahassee. Bentley quoted the engineers as saying they felt confident the de- partment would handle the grass and weed cutting. Vocational Class Exhibits Work At Kress Store Exhibits from the Douglass High School vocational shop are being displayed in the Kress Store on Duval Street. Chester C. Seabury, principal at Douglass, said today that the pur- Pose of the projects to give the boys a better chance to go out into the world and make a living. It was explained that the hope of the school is to prepare the students of the vocational class for direct apprenticeship into trades directly after graduation. Each student is given so many projects a year to complete dur- ing the course. The actual prepa- ration for the vocational class be- gins by students taking industrial arts in the seventh grade. The stu- dents spend three hours of each school day in the shop. Seabury said the program is somewhat hindered by the students having to finish their own mater- ials for the projects. He also stat- ed that any donations of scrap luni- ber or other useful materials ~|would be appreciated.

Adams offered the motion to fire March. Roberts and Duncan voted against the motion, Parker, Adams and Warren voted for the motion. At the same time March was dismissed, the - principal of Harris School, Randalph Russell, also was fired. At a previous meeting, April 7, 1953, an effort had been made to oust March, O’Bryant, who was ill in -the hospital at the time, wrote a let- ter to the meeting of the board which said in part: “March has not produced the results I antici- pated. Some of his duties already have been reduced. This decision is made without prejudice and in good faith.” Board Votes However, the board members voted 4-to-l to retain March at that time. Before March and his attorney finally filed the petition for a writ of mandamus, the squabble be- tween March and O’Bryant was marked by verbal blasts as well as letters published in The Citi- zen. At one point, Dr. Delio Cobo, a city commissioner, got into the act, deploring what he said was “politics” in the school system, Neither March nor O’Bryant could be reached today for com- ment on the court’s ruling. Whether or not March would ap- peal the ruling to the Florida Su- preme Court was not known. When asked if March had in- structed him to appeal the ruling, Porter said he had not heard from March since the ruling was issued. However, March previously had told a Citizen reporter that he would appeal the case if he lost. The United States produced :2,- 149,000 automobiles in 1946 and 6,- 165,000 in 1953.
