A LETTER FROM
SUNNY FLORIDA
the Chamber of Commerce and we
found a very kind and obliging sta’ff
in charge in this office. Our names
were announced that evening over the
radio and as winter visitors from
Canada. They also helped us get lo
cated. It is hard for people not here
to imagine what the winter tourist
trade means to this city. At the pres
ent there are forty-one thousand ap
artments or houses rented to tourists.
All he 'hotels and the boarding hous
es ate over this. Last Sunday on Mi
ami Beach in the seven miles there
were sixty-six thousand bathers, this
is four thousand more than the cor
responding Sunday last year. The of
ficial report issued this week states
there are more people in the city this
year than there was last year but the
merchants report that their sales are
away down.
'With some friends we drove up to
Palm Beach this week. It is a beau
tiful drive. We tried to locate Mr.
McAvoy at Fort Landerdale but he
was not at his cottage and we did not
see him.
The weather has been running ar
ound seventy-five all the time. Yes
terday the recorded temperature was
seventy-seven, and that of the ocean
was seventy-five. I think this is the
most beautiful country you could find
anywhere.. The flowers are all in
bloom and the fruit and vegetables
are in their prime. The oranges, for
tree run are selling for 35c per peck,
and the grapefruit, a medium size,
are selling as low as two for a nickel.
The big cost is getting them trans
ported.
We note by your paper that the
Wingham people are well represented
in Florida this year. We are glad to
note this. We have not seen any of
them yet. We understand Mr, and
Mrs. Boyle are in St. Petersburg. We
will stay here, I think, for another
month anyway and will go home in
April. We will be getting
home-sick by that time.
Sincerely yours,
H. T. Thomson.

It is just one month to-day since
Miami, Feb. 19, 1938
Mrs. Thomson and the writer left
dear old Wingham on the bus for the
southland. Well, it was some trip.
The first day was the worst on ac
count of the snow. We were two
hours late at Stratford and also at
Guelph and Hamilton and only made
Buffalo the first night. Howe.ver we
were there at seven o’clock and got
our tickets renewed for our stop-ov
ers, got a good supper and went to
bed in a good hotel. Tuesday was a
long day. We boarded the bus at 8.30
a.m. and went through to Washing
ton without a lay-off. It was about
-2.30 a.m. when we arrived in Wash
inton, however we got into a good
hotel and went to bed and had a fair
rest again. Wednesday moaning we
did not leave Washington till 10.30
and Wednesday night we stayed in
Bumetsvillc over night. Thursday,
the fourth day, the weather was
warmer and the country looked a lot
better. We made Jacksonville by
Thursday evening and had another
good flight here, Friday we were on
the road again at 8.30 and arrived in
Miami at 7.30 Friday evening and the
trip down was ended. The weather
here was hot the first tlirec days bitt
after that was cooler for a week or
so.
On our arrival we located tempor
arily in an hotel but later we rented
a furnished apartment in the Avon
dale Apartments. This building at the
present moment is housing thirty-five
families like ourselves, each one sep
arated but still together. It is pretty
