He cites cooperative officials and parents, plans for a quiet retirement in Mount Dora area, and tentative travel later this summer, with continued involvement in community improvements.
The Mount Dora Topic lists Editor and Publisher S. Waldron and Business Manager Sandy Waldron. It provides P O Box 197 Mount Dora Florida and office address 132 West Fifth Avenue Mount Dora. Telephone 904 383 4303 and annual rates 4.00, two years 7.00, single copy 0.10. It notes the paper was entered as second ac April 7 1916 at the Post in Mount Dora Florida under Act.
A County School Board member named Donald Berry argues against naming schools for people. He mocks Milner- Rosenwald School and lists many renamed or impersonal places from Harvard to towns like Eighty Four Pennsylvania and Berry Alabama as examples of “unfortunate” names.
In a response to a letter from Don Christopher, Cliff Palmer from Mount Dora defends his right to express his views publicly. Palmer discusses pride in signing his feelings and contrasts his life with wealthier individuals, noting his working-class upbringing and his parents’ hard farming life.
Beverly Wilton criticizes Mt Christopher for repeating clichés and excuses, urges self responsibility for Black students, comparesUS racial issues to Nazi era resistance, and calls for consent to exclude opponents from East Town events, warning age will change Don.
Albert Crone commends Don Christopher for advocating equal opportunities beyond taxes paid and for stressing the difference between rights and their exercise. The writer labels such views practical and community driven, urging action over rhetoric for universal access to services, beautification, education, and opportunities.
Majorie Jewell reports from Brazil during a world cruise. She describes Brazil’s jungles and mountains and mining areas, a 150 year old royal palm avenue, Rio’s blend of old and new, Copacabana Beach, glass architecture, inlaid sidewalks, Atlantic Avenue luxury hotels, and a trip up Corcovado peak.
From a ship we view the Christ statue atop the mountain, visible across Rio and at sea. After three days in Rio, sailing time resumed as two crew members with cameras ran onto the pier and ropes were cast over. Cont. on page 6.
