Australia would be brought nearer Whether or not the nations of the earth are foolish enough to permit their rulers to be hurrahed into war there can be no doubt that the present Boss of Germany is detei mined to have the Facists keyed up for contingen- cies. Hitler appeal's not to have been idle when indoors recently with the "cold." His expressed determin- ation to keep on smashing the pro- visions of the Versailles Treaty can have but one interpretation, no matter how much the German dictator pro- tests. Time was when the "defy" would have meant nearly hostilities but now than continental European centres in point of postal convenience. • This is all very well for the mail users who arc In a great hurry, but the wayfaring corresjiondent who is not ever "on the rush" would be belter pleased if the postal managers would again think of the common people â€" the great majority â€" and establish uni- versal penny postage, and again let us have the one cent post card, plain and pictorial. .Such a reform, we feel assured, would not only result in greatly increa.sing the revenues of the Post Office, but would be of great convenience to the general public and by an enormous increase in the pic- ture cards w(>uld stimulate manufac- ture, promote and popularize geo- graphy. Sir William Mulock, when | Postmaster-General of C'"">''.a„ and there were deficits in revenue from the department, courageously estab- lished penny postage with Britain and the world and at the same time so in- creased the postal business that deficits ceased to bo. Could not some of our Canadian statesmen take a leaf out of the revered Sir William's book and once more give Us a postal refuiin that will l)enefit the common people. The speed mongers should not have it all their own way, when it is invariably costly, while the Mulock plan was a revenue producer from the start. Holidaying In South St. Petersburg, Floi-ida March !• 1935 Mr. F. J. Thurston, Flesherton, Ontario. Dear F'riend: I thought the account of oui trip to Florida this winter might bt of interest to the editor of the ".Advance" and to my good Flesher- ton friends so yoy can use all or part of it if you so desire. We have en- joyed it .so much we wish all there could have shared it with us but a letter might do. Leaving Torofnto the mjdidle of January, and bidding ice, and cold goodbye , we crossetl at Niagara Falls, heading for sunny Florida. Tliiougli New York state and jiart of Penn-sylvanja, roads good, and Osprey, Mr. .lohn A.

Mr. Kernahan, in his long service to the township has held the esteem and confidence of all with whom he had l)usiness dealings and his conduct as treasurer of the town- ship has l>een beyond reproach. Mr. Kernahan was also secretary-treas- urer of the Osprey Agricultural Soc- ciety for many years, but gave it into younger hands a fe^v years ago. His many friends are soiry to know he has been forced to give up the work of treasurer, to which he has given such splendid service and the hope is expressed that with the worries of office removed his health will improve to fiuch an extent that he may enjoy many more years of comfort during the sunset of life. HEI' hep: h( ri{ ah: The mail an<l Empire says that if Mr. Hei)burii accepts our suggestion that he enter the lists of birth control advocates thus preventing the mar- riages of Con.servatives in Ontario by i<pecial Act of the Legislature and do they say Washington is a beautiful place, everything v.-hilc. It certainly wa.- white with snow, it looked as though there were no garages, as cars i>arked along tlic streets were just covered. We drove on ice foi two days but had no trouble. They don't need to tell me that all the snow i.s in Canada and "oh it must be ter- ribly cold up there," just as cold in othifi- State.s. Ttii'ough Virginnia North and South Carolina, the weath- er was improving, so when we arrived in Georgia we could see a change, then as we neared Florida, what a difference! We drove jlown the east coast, through Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, West Palm Beach. Fort Laud- erdale to Miami and what a beaut- iful drive!

There is so much to see, the beautiful white sand beaches with tide out or in. There are so many flowers and hedges that .sometimes I would iiinch myself to see if I were awake, it seemed too wonderful to bt ti ue. From Miami we crossed on Tam- iami Trail to the weat coast end up to St. Petei-sburg, where wc' have spent most of our time. We were greatly taken with the large play- But it ground. It seems increditable that just 1«00 miles from Toronto, there should be a climate with temperature 70 to S.5 above ,and sunshine every day. There is a newspaper jiublishcd here called the "Independent," also called the sunshine paper, every day the sun does not shine, they give away a copy to everyone. During the 21 ' 1 years the paper has been published there has been 162 days the sun has not shone; so you see St. Petersburg is well named the "Sun- shine city". On arriving we were glad to hear that our good friend. Will Hemphill, wife and daughter, Ellen, were holi- daying at Coldwater Beach. We spent an afternoon with them, as they were leaving the next day, rather hard to pull away when you know it is not 85 in Toronto. In spite of the fact that hotel and cottage rates have increased, living is still <iilite iva^n.able. Auto traffic is very heavy, but highways and streets are very wide. There is a constant coming and going of tour- ists. This year the registrations have gone over the top, the highest was 192,030, bnt this is tne peak year Green benches in front of the stores and on all streets, for which St. Petersburg is noted are vei-y popular and it is here many friendships are formed, especially among widows and widowers, so you see they had no attraction for me. They are always occupied, .some kniting, sewing, cro- cheting, reading or resting, and watching the passing throngs of peo- ple. One of the many .stories of the green benches is told of a man from the north who brought his wife down for her health, they had only been here a short time when his wife died He did not want to go back nortii in the cold so had her body put in the vault, in the spring he started back his wife's body in the baggage cai and his new wife with him in fhi parlor car. .So you see how ()uickf7 they can get another down here. Bok Tower is one of the highest spot*! of Florida, situated on one of the highest points -72.5 feet high, it is a safiotuary built by the late Edward Bok. «in.strtu:ted of pink marble and granite, .'surrounded by little lakes flowers Mrds, ducks, pink flamingoes and citrus grove.s. A drinking fount- ain, donaCfd by the school children of that CMJTitry, has the following verse inscribed. "The kiss of the sun for pardon. The song of the birds for mirth, Vou are neaiw God's heart in a garden Than anywheri' else on earth. Tarpon Spring, which is a sponge industry, is also interesting. There a fleet of boats are tinloading at all hours, the siKvngea are scraped squeezed out and hung tii> to dry It is not the sweetest smelling place in the world. Hotels seem to vfe with each other in palatial elegance and ni-p outstand- ing, with highly c(ilc>i-*'il stucco. The "I>()w-Ce-.Sar" about .seven miles out at Pass-a Grille i^ perhaps the most outstanding. We had the pleasure ol enjoying the view from the roof, with the Gulf of Mexico on the west with its white sand bench and wide stret- ches of water, brrely wide highways stretching north nnd south and cast numerous small lakea of blue water beautiful homes nesting among green foliage, flowers* palms and pines with pleasivre boats on the little lakes, a i^oal picture. The fruit groves an a sight, oranges, grapefruit tanger- ines and many others. I had never even heard of. Packing hou.<ies are interesting. Here the fruit is wa.nhcd and scrnbbc<l before packing to pre- vent shrinkage, and from there it i« shipped to all points. St Petersburg is a tourist city and every hing possible is done for tour- ists of all ages, band concerts held every day, bowling on greens, shuffle- board with a membership of almost •WOO, the million dollar pier where hundreds are bathing or sunning them" selves every day. We have had the pK.-i ure of at' vHng two Canadian Anyone can watch them morning or afternoon, and also the Three-quarter ; ? Centuery Club, with all members 75 .j! years or over. They have a softball 'i] club with men 75 years; one young ! y man, 85, made a home run Tuesday, j <• They play twice a week. One old j .*! man who used to play and never mis- ses a game is 104 yeai-s old. They call them the "Kids" and the "Kubs" they are as nimble and can run like child- ren. Florida, to me, is a revelation; so many places to go, so much to do and so much to see with never a dull mom- ent.

"Huh! Wliy worry. Did you evei see a womon try to chop a stick of wood?" Spring seems to be looked on with some suspicion when she arrives too early.
