Teachers Return from Southeast Tour (Continued from page 1.) lum home built in 1851. It i* very elaborate with carved mantels, bronse chandelier*, enormous mirror*, and other furnishings which were created in France and Spain. A very interesting stop was made at Pioneer, La. There we visited a cotton gin. Although it was not quite ginning time, the plantation owner had some cot ton brought in and ginned so we could watch the process. Incidentally. Miss Way taught school there at one time, so we were priivleged to visit the school buildings. On the way to New Orleans, we stopped at Baton Rouge and viewed Louisianas beautiful Cap itol. The 48 steps leading into the building are each inscribed with the name of a state, the first 13 of the lower ones representing the original colonies. Formal gar dens surround the building and to the front are the statue and grave of Huey P. Long. Two nights were spent at New Orleans. While there we toured the city with a guide to point out the places of interest. i n is an asiuiiiamnK otuoowwii, a never ending wonder to walk through the streets of the old quarter, to gaze at the ancient buildings with delicate iron work gracing the balconies, to study the angular shadows formed by irregular structures on the nar row streets, to look at the quaint architecture, the shaded patios with drooping banana trees, and then by merely crossing Canal street to find oneself in an en tirely new world, one of hustle and bustle, of modern stores and tilfVQprjinprs We also took a 3-hour sight seeing harbor trip on the Missis sippi. Many big freighters from foreign countries were seen. On the agricultural side, we saw many sugar cane, rice, cotton and yam fields before reaching New Orleans. From this city we had a beauti ful drive along the Gulf coast to Pensacola, Fla. Enroute we stop ped for a while at Biloxi, Miss., which is the largest canner of shrimp and oysters in the world. On August 12 we stayed over night at Tallahassee, the capital of the state and a beauitul old southern city. The following morning we started on for Tampa, making 2 stops on the way. The first was at Silver Springs where most of the group took a ride in a glass bottomed boat. The second stop j was at Tarpon Springs. There is i found the largest sponge indus try in the world. While boat rid ing it was quite a thrilling sight to watch a diver go down and bring up a sponge. Leaving Tampa August 14. we stopped at Winter Haven to view the Cypress gardens, known the world over as America’s tropical wonderland, where rare and ex otic plants have been gathered from the ends of the earth to form a paradise of beauty and a mecca for nearly a quarter mil lion visitors each year. Another stop was made at Lake Wales, which is the highest point in the state. Surrounding the city are many citrus groves. About one-third of all the oranges, grapefruit and tangerines grown in Florida are produced there. ! Nearbv is the Bok singing tow er and Mountain Lake sanctuary, which is a place of unique peace and beauty. South from here we passed through many cattle ranches — most of the cattle are humped Brahmas. Going down through the Ever glades we arrived at Miami on the evening of the 14th. The following day we went sightseeing down the residential district, lined with stately royal palms, past the the fashionable hotels, the parks, through ave nues of tropical splendor, by the Orange Bowl stadium, to the Seminole Indian village, where we saw an Indian boy wrestle an alligator, to Miami beach, and to the Hialeah race course, where hundreds of flamingoes live in their natural state. The evening of the 15th, we sailed for Cuba, arriving there about 8:30 the following mom- | ing We toured the city all day. The highlights of the tour were a visit to their national capitol, which cost over $16,000,000, La Merced church, the cathedral, down by Royal Palm avenue, by the Maine memorial, thatched huts, the Columbus cemetery, a perfume factory, a sugar factory, a visit to an alligator leather fac tory, and an experimental farm where all kinds of plants were grown. , . ., We returned to our boat the same evening and sailed for Mi ami. The next morning, after part of the group had gone deep sea fishing for a couple of hours, we started northward a long the Atlantic coast, through Ft. Laurendale and on to Day tona Beach where we spent the night. On our way to Waycross. Ga., the next day we stopped at St. Augustine where we explored the oldest wooden school in the U.S.. an old house which has 400 years of history, and the Foun tain of Youth, where we all took a drink but noted no change. We also stopped at Marineland to visit the world’s only ocean arium. It was a wonderful sight to peek through one of the 200 portholes and watch a diver feed the fish and see a 300 - pound turtle lumber lazily over the cor al reefs, or go to the top of the oceanarium and watch the por poises jump from the water to catch fish from the attendant’s hand. It is a grand place to see the mysterious and dramatic life of the undersea world. After spending the1 night at Waycross, Ga., we drove on to Warm Springs, Ga. There we toured the Little White House, the memorial to the late Presi dent Roosevelt; also the Georgia Warm Springs polio foundation. , August 20 found us on our way to Birmingham, Ala., going by way of Atlanta, where we visited the capitol and out to Grant park to the Cyclorama building, where we saw the world famous panor ama painting of the Battle of Atlanta. Leaving Birmingham, we stop ped at the Norris dam. which is one of the many dams of the TV A. Chatanooga was our next over night stop. Here we took a ride over the worlds’ steepest inclined railroad to the top of Lookout mountain. At the top we viewed the New York peace monument and museum and the Rock City garden. On the way to Gratlinburg, Tenn,. we drove through the Great Smoky mountains nation al park. It is known as the play ground of eastern America. Nowhere in the world is there such a variety of plant life in an equal area and no where in the east are there so many cloud piercing peaks. A short time was spent at the Cherokee Indian village at Bry son City. We arrived at Berea, Ky., on August 23. There is where the blue grass region of Kentucky meets the foothills of the Cum berland mountains. While at this place we toured the Berea col lege where all kinds of student industries have been created.. Starting on to Mammoth Cave we drove through Lexington, which is a leading Burley tobac co market. It is in the blue grass region and this route took us bv many noted horse farms such as Cal umet and Keeneland. The night of August 24 was spent at Mammoth Cave. The next morning after taking the short tour through the cave we started homeward. Near Hodgenville, Ky., we stopped at the Abraham Lincoln national historical park. There we saw the memorial building housing the traditional Lincoln log cabin. P ---< From this place we came di rectly home by way of Bowling Green, Ky., and Evansville, Ind. We stayed in St. Louis the night of August 25, Kansas City, August 26, and continued on to Norfolk August 27. We had visited 13 states and Cuba. This is the 3d tour Miss McCullough has sponsored.
