Fourth of July Week Ends Quiet With Picnics and Travels
The long Fourth of July weekend closes with no fatalities and many family gatherings. Rosalie Griffin hosted 75 guests for a barbecue and picnic at her 48th terrace home, while H. E. S. Reeves hosted grandchildren and parents on a Florida trip. Rev Adkins joins the South Florida diocese at Delray Beach, and Nassau sees growing visitors from Delray Beach including teachers and a social worker. Nassau travel plans continue as many arrange two week stays through the North Travel Bureau. Levi Johnsons closed their dry cleaning shop for a few days with a humorous Gone Fishing sign, noting Nassau’s appeal.
