The girls are Elsie Howard and Evelyn Lawson o f Vero Beach, The ape is one o f a large col­ lection o f monkeys and apes who live in the trees in large jungle enclosures and combine with thousands o f rare imported plants and eighty acres o f cerio jungle to make McKee Jungle Gardens a spot which thousands o f Florida tourists visit every year. Members o f the National Editorial Association visited and ex­ plored these jungles on their tour o f Florida, stayed fo r the night. The first rain o f consequence on the week's trip was discovered upon aris­ ing the next morning when headed for Vero Beach, You have heard that name in recent news dispatches fo r it was not so far from the McKee Jungle Gardens that a passenger airplane was caught in an electrical storm and went down in the muck lands about five miles from the highway. A famous Cleveland surgeon " and wife were among the ill-fated party that had a narrow escape with their lives,. I f you knew that section of country you ■vender how the pa rty jverw a s found, lay or night. ’ * The Jungle Gardens are owned by a Mr. McKee o f Cleveland, O., and provides one o f the show places of the south when it comes to preserving nature as it existed a century or more >g&, In the gardens can ho found very native flower, tree, shrub, known to Florida, with birds o f every descrip- ion.

Each was instructed to open he skin carefully to keep the rosin from touching the meat <ff the potato, One lady disregarded instruction and mashed the outer skin down and filled the opening with butter (and rosin). iou can imagine her facial expres­ sion follow ing the first bite.

Same idea o f the beach can be had when the 37 passenger de luxe buses drqye over it at the water’s edge. Leaving Daytona and the Atlantic at sumset was a real treat with the Atlantic blue to our right as a back­ ground for reflection.

Simple ErosionControls . Will CheckSmall Gullies F or sm all gullies—those less than three fe e t deep—comparatively sim­ ple erosion cqntrols are recommend­ ed. Large gullies and those with extensive drainage areas usually can be stabilized only by using a com bi­ nation o f protective measures. The first step in gully control is to keep, as much runoff as possible out of the' guKy channel. F or this pur­ pose, retarding water draining into the gully is often enough, but in some cases a diversion ditch just above the head o f the gully m ay be necessary. Once the retention or diversion measures have been applied, control o f the gully becom es much simpler. To protect the channel from further scouring, use. adap ted 'vegeta tion - grasses, vines, trees, and shrubs wherever possible. Structural de­ vices are recommended only to help establishment o f vegetation or to pro­ vide permanent protection at points that cannot be protected in any oth­ er way, Hotbwaed Bxxek T rw fexl Gtenksw lllllUKlIM HlIllim ittliilU SIX t\ -Ft oONGRE Wli B;, r , Xj Mt'IUi ! !!<*'. e r fi- i ■ I 1 Vtete o f Tropical Garden* with hotel In background visited by N .
