BOK SINGING TOWER
In the heart of Florida’s scenic highlands, atop
Iron Mountain, one of its highest points, stands
this magnificent bell tower of the Old World,
carrying a powerful beacon for airmen, a curious
mixture of old associations and modern utility.
Fifty-one feet wide at its granite base, its octagonal face
of pink Georgia marble rises 205 feet, holds one of the
largest and, perhaps, the finest carillon in the world.
Sixty-one bells weighing 123,164 pounds, the largest
being over 11 tons, comprise four octaves, 48 tones,sur-
passing in power and brilliance any other set of chimes.
Completed in 1929, the "Singing Tower” was built
by Edward Bok and donated to his adopted country.

“If you really want to have a
good time,” say the 4-H girls of
Refugio County, “plan to have the
4-H girls camp at the Richardson
school.” The Richardson 4-H Club
and their sponsor, Mrs. William
Andel, make splendid hostesses.
Fifty club girls and their spon-
sors attended the camp held on
May 31 and June 1 and reported
a good time in spite of heavy rains.
All six clubs of the county, Aust ■
well, Bayside, Bonnie View, Tivoli.
Richardson and Woodsboro, were
represented and every sponsor was
present.
All the girls took part ‘n the
various games and handicraft pro-
jects. Small prizes were awarded
the winners and points given for
each completed project. At the
close of the camp it was found that
Mary Lee Rabke of Tivoli had the
highest number of points, so she
received the camp prize, a cookie
jar. The county home demonstra-
ingredients, plus fifty-three years of magic
brewing skill could make a beer so good.
Here's a beer that is delicious, flavorful,
fully-aged for year 'round beverage enjoy-
ment... Every bottle brings you a palate-
pleasing thrill. The reason is in the bottle!
This brewery is completely
air-conditioned and air-
refrigerated to insure the
purity of PEARL BEER.
