real place for entertainment and

The North End of the county
is still making more progress, as
on January 15, 1959 a group of
interested citizens meet in the
North-Dade grammar school
•and organized the North-Dade
Civic Club, this club will be one
of the greatest and outstanding
clubs in the county, as each of
us in the north end are much
interested in the welfare of our
youth and the much needed
facilities needed for their
growth and welfare and the
developement of their youth.
The North Dade Civic Club held
the nominations of the Officers
who are to serve the club in the
coming year and Bill Pullen
was elected President, Ewell
Brown, Vice-President and
Robert Ryan was elected Sect,
and Treas. . . . President Pullen
opened the first meeting by
having Rev. J. O. Stewart lead
a prayer and President Pullen
stated the many needs of a
civic organization and the ben¬
efits that can be obtained by
having such an organization. . . .
it was suggested that the club
start immediately with the
plans for improving the North-
Dade School and providing
ample recreation facilities for
our young people that our
school serves and that improve¬
ments be made of the ground
that holds our school.

Trenton’s Construction Projects Underway
John L. Case Co.
We predicted in this space two
weeks ago that if old man wea¬
ther would give away a little
that the John L. Case new build
ing would take on an added
look. Well it has just done that,
and all the real heavy concrete
and steel members have now
been set in place.
Last Thursday these heavy
members arrived toy special
trucks which were closely follow
ed toy a heavy crane. The un¬
loading and erection operation
was soon halted toy heavy and
cold rain. Monday morning the
operating crews returned be¬
decked in heavier and water
proof clothing. Continuous
showers throughout the day
dampened the workers tout not
their determined spirit and they
continued late in the afternoon
before they finished their assign
ed task. One has tout to take a
quick glance to appreciate that
a fine and beautiful new build¬
ing is fast taking shape.
The county was deeply dis¬
tressed at the loss suffered by
the members of the John L
Case company when their old
•business was destroyed by fire
a few months ago.
We are now deeply proud of
them for their determination
and fast efforts in reconstru¬
ction in such a modem and
beautiful manner.
Mountain View Development
The entire area between the
general line of the Baptist Ceme
tery, American Legion and
street running toy Trenton Clinic
is toeing graded out into streets.
A street is toeing made on the
west side of the cemetery, Legi¬
on Hall and half way between
there and the Clinic that street
is being continued to the north.
The street running by the Clinic
is toeing continued to the north
and these three streets are being
connected by a street running
toy the north side of the Legion
Hall property. One or more
houses have been started in this
decently developed area.
Dade High School Grounds
Since our last report on the
school ground improvement,
some progress has been made,
however, the adverse weather
opposition to dirt moving opera¬
tions have slowed the tempo. It
is conservatively estimated that
(the actual ground improvement
project is now about three-
quarters finished. Principal
Chumley still has his chin up
and indicated that he is going
■to be mighty proud of the jo*
when finished.
There will be a meeting c
those interested in the Dade
County High School Improve¬
ment in the High School Libra, y

1959 Goals Set at Forestry Meeting

factory. The club agreed that a
