Dade High PTA Meets March 7 The regular meeting of the Dade High PTA heJd 5 Thursday night, March 7 in t e cafeteria. There’s More Than One Way, Said the Lady Patience is not one of wom¬ an’s virtues, we note. . . . shortly after noon Monday we were startled to hear an auto¬ mobile’s horn right under our window. We were even more startled to see a bright, blue car moving slowly along the sidewalk. It seems a woman tourist from North Carolina had parked in front of the bank, been blocked from behind by another car, an everyday oc- curance on this side of the square, and did not choose to wait. She drove the short dis¬ tance down the sidewalk to the corner of the Dade Coun¬ ty Times office with horn a-blowing and much laughter from the sidelines. BASEBALL MEETING AT R.
