Porterdale Woman’s Club Had
Delightful Trip To Florida
PORTERDALE — Mrs. Leßoy
McGiboney, Mrs. James E. Ca
son, and Miss Arlene White made
some interesting notes during the
Woman’s Club trip to Miami, Flo

site of their Impressions follows:
"The familiar Bibb bus was li
terally loaded with 39 ladles, lu
nches, and luggage when we left
Porterdale at five-forty-five on
Thursday afternoon, June 15.
Fears that Merritt Hertwlg would
be late when we picked her up in
Perry, were unnecessary, how
ever, for upon our arrival, there
she was waving a red flag. We
believe that nearly everybody
hugged “Mr. Ed”, too.
"With a brief stop in Atlanta
at the Trailways Terminal, we
had boarded the Silver Eagle
coach with Billy Me Fry as the
driver until we reached Valdosta.
There, Virgil Reece joined us as
driver-guide, and we turned our
lives over to his care as we nap
ped while the miles lengthened.
"Upon arrival in Miami, ev
erybody was ready for a good
breakfast at Holiday Inn. Some
hurried to the beach or on shop
ping sprees. Some just took

"My! My! all the things we

“There was the Kennedy Torch
of Friendship Memorial, the
Freedom Tower where Cuban re
fugees come for welfare assis

of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt
was threatened by a would-be as
sassin.
"Eight o’clock was our depar
ture time for the French Ameri
cana Club and later the Eden Roc
with a Japanese theme for the ex
travaganza Tokyo Holiday. Fran

Ashton’s Paris Champagne, Dick
Paul and his Orchestra, and Bob
Williams’ Dog Act were the most

"All of Saturday we spent tour-

perience of having it rain, rain,

general mechanism of the bus

“It was quite an Impressive
group who met again at eight o’-
clock for an evening at the South
Pacific Polynesian Restaurant
and Gardens at Hollywood, a few
miles away from Holiday Inn.
"Blue Hawaii” was played es
pecially for the Porterdale Wo
