They went through their paces before the game and. at half time with expert baton twirling, struts and cheers. J isms looked marking on our itinerary. cut iortunateiy passed 11 cn a short cut to the coast highway on our trip south. This castle, the oldest masonary fort exist ing in the United States, was started in 1672 by the Spanish to protect St. Augustine, the first permanent white settlement in this country. Castillo de (pro nounced Kaysteel'-yo-day) San Marcos became a focal point of bridge. The great wails are from 9 to 16 feet thick, constructed of coquina blocks, a native ma rine shell rock. They are ce mented together by an oyster lime mortar. Beautifully arched casemates and interesting cor nices testify to the workmanship and imagination of the Spanish builders. The. fort contains guardrooms, dungeons, living quarters for the garrison, store rooms and a chapel. Nearly all the rooms open on a court about 100 feet square. The fort was constructed be cause of international rivalry over Florida. Spain claimed the area bv papal grant and discov eries of that old romantic ad venturer Ponce de Leon who, in 1513. roamed the Florida waste lands in search of the fountain of youth. Galleons, homeward bound with fabulous carzos of gold, silver, and precious stones the SDaniards had looted from the treasuries of the Aztec and Inca Indian tribes, were often seized by daring corsairs. (Now vou know where that famous fighter plane used by the air forces gets its name). Held by Spain for over 200 years, there were constant sieges of St. Augustine, from the French Huguenots in 15S4. until Sir Francis Drake, the English buccaneer burned it in 1585, and Gov. James Moore, of South Car olina besieged it in 1702 and 1728. Gen. Jarne.. Oglethorpe, who founded Georgia in 1733. at tacked the fort in 1740 and held more than 2.000 people huddled in the 100-foot square court for 27 days through the heat of sum mer, then, foolishly. eased his blockade of the inlet and shal low draft boats from Havana slipped through with sorely needed supplies. Throueh the Treaty of Paris in 1763, England acquired Florida and held it for two decades, in cluding the critical years of the American Revolution. When Charleston, S. C, fell into Brit ish hands, prisoners, among them three signers of the Dec laration of Independence Ed ward Rutledge, Thomas Heyward and Arthur Middleton, were con fined in the prison dungeons of St. Augustine. . - , In 1783 Florida was returned to Spain; but Indians and run- aii'av slavps rnntimifr! tn Via nr international problem. These marauders made a practice of robbing Georgia planters, who crcsFd tb SDanish border -to run them. down.. These difficul- ties were overcome when the "Si'- - United States took possession of Florida in 1821, according; 10 the Treaty cf 1819 negotiated with Spain for the cession of Florida. - For over 100 years it was known as Fort Marion in honor cf the Revolutionary War hero. Then trouble with the Indians broke out in 1835 and the fort became a prison. Among the fa mous prisoners at this time was Oscpcla. ihe Seminole Indian leader whose tribe, holding 0 unique position in American his tory and now resicmg tax-free in Florida, we'll teil you about later). The Indian prince, Cca ccochee, another prisoner, made Lis escape in 1837 to renew the war against the whites. Except for a short Confeder ate occupation, the fort contin ued as a prison and arsenal. Here Capt. R. H. Pratt conducted experiments that led to his later founding of the Carlisle Indian School. Gercnimo's band of Apaches were prisoners during tho 1880's. Last active military use, of the fcrt was marked in 1893-39 during the Spanish American War where, in the5.e musty rooms, about 150 court martialed American soldiers were held. Perhaps much of this i3 of lit tle interest to many of our read ers, but to this writer to stand on this hallowed ground and re view a portion of our America n heritage allowed us to recall many points in our history ar.d of obstacles overcome to make this country great. - A night spent in a beautiful court overlooking the At'antic north cf Day tor: a Beach r-nd on to Miami, reaching there just in time to run headon into return ing Orange Bowl visitors New Year'sDay.

RRF Bond Purchases k County Nearly $69,089 in 1952 Cass county purchases of de fense bonds for 1952 amounted to $594,780.81. according to Walter H. Smith, county bond chairman. Nebraska's yearly sales climb ed to $71,236,354.80, an increase of 9.5 over the year 1951, it was announced by Wadd R. Martin, state cfcairman for the bond program. " The improved series E bonds and the new series H bonds, made available in June, paced the increase with a gain of 33.8 over the period June-December of the previous year. Total yearly sales to individauls amounted to $54,817,523.05. ' Nebraskans have always been thrifty, conservative people, and the 1952 sales record reflects their desire to provide for fin ancial emergencies and oppor tunities in the future. In buying U. S. Defense Bonds they are building reserves in the world's safest investment, and receive a good return at the same time" Martin said. '"With an increas ing amount of bonds maturing during 1953 the Treasury sale program" calls for a National sales increase of about 30. However, because of last year s performance, Nebraska will need a gain of about 10 to attain its share of the Nation's goal. This will be accomplished through the efforts of farm or ganizations, newspapers, radio, TV stations, banks, schools, in dustrial firms, and hundreds of other volunteers who realize the importance cf the bond pro- j gram and cooperate in tins ' Sreat thrift program. ! i A good many talk about the j psychological moment who fcnow 'nothing about psychology. - i 5,.
