Bicyclists' 1000 Mile Ride Ends In Mount Dora

Larry Bowman and Dave Cooper rode from Columbus to Mount Dora in 13 days covering about 1000 miles. They began with $200 each, ended with $130, drank four quarts daily, and camped by roadsides near motels with pools. They faced sheriffs and police in several states yet faced no charges as they planned a raft trip down the Mississippi next summer.

Willmott Attacks Chamber in Mount Dora Meeting

Mount Dora Mayor Jesse D. Willmott chastised the City Chamber of Commerce for not sending a member to Jacksonville to meet the railroad company about removing tracks. He declared further talks would occur without the Chamber and warned against future invitations. The council also urged state action on objectionable movies and decided to commission cheaper police and fire department building plans due to budget limits.
