On the Daytona Sands 
Here’s the famous hard sands of Daytona beach where 
the speed cars race. We didn’t go down to race, but to 
see if the sand was as hard as they say. It was. Hard 
as pavement and twice as smooth.

I thought this was going to cost me only 10c to take 
this picture but found out they meant 10c apiece. 

A Sharecropper Cabin in Arkansas 
No, this isn’t just an unusual sight—it’s a sight you 
see all over the South. The only thing is this is better 
than usual because it has a tree and a WPA outhouse.

Mrs. Field Gets Wet Feet

Looks like Mrs. Field is moving real fast, but she still 
got her feet wet. She thought she could get the shell,

We found it all very, very interest-

Probably the most interesting 
thing to us was the ocean. We spent 
several days along the ocean beaches 
on both sides of Florida, and of 
course it was all very new and won-

raised on the prairie here in Iowa. 
Of course we picked oranges off 
the trees, and picked strawberries in 
January, and saw lots of flowers 
growing, and ate lots of fish and 
oysters and shrimp. 
We didn’t go swimming in the 
ocean because it looked too cold. Un- 
fortunately’ we struck pretty cold 
weather and a good deal of the time 
.it was raining besides. We didn’t get 
to see much of the warm, sunshiny
