Larry Dillon and his wife

threatened to wipe out many
of the "State's fruit and vege-

Just before we crossed the
state line into Florid we
stopped , at , a self-seri& gas
station. The Sign on the
pumps demanded "cash in

Many of the retail stores
had a sign in The window
which showed a drawing of a
un barrel and the words
"Think befOre you rob. Five
years to Wel" One of the few
billboards we saw in Florida
asked -us not to commit any
robberies. That was. OK by
me: I wanted to .spend , five
days down, there, n'i't five
years!
As we drove through the
More expensive 'residential
areas, we frequently noticed
- signs- stating "This area
patrolled-A:3r rteighbottilitiod---

meaning of the signs:
