A big improvement is added to the
city of Lakeland today by the com-
pletlon this afternoon of the asphalt
drive around Lake Morton. By to
morrow the drive will be open for
traffic, and a delightful spin may be
taken around this lake, where hereto
fore there has been only a very im
perfect sandy road.
With the completion of this drive
there is brought prominently to the
public's attention the possibilities for
park purposes offered by the shores
of this lovely lake, which now lies
not far from the center of the city.
There is much that might be done if
means were available; but in the
meantime, considerable improvement
that will add to the beauty of the
scenery, and the pleasure and com
fort of all, may be effected, with on
ly a small outlay.
With this In view, Commissioner
O'Steen and S. F. Wilkinson, super
intendent of parks have been confer
ring, and they hope to interest all
who own property around the lake..
and others who desire to have some
thing done for the generul beautlflca
tiou of the city, in some plans for
Immediate improvement. This would
embrace the setting of palm trees at
proper intervals, along the drive,
with water oaks for shade at ouch
points where they would not obstruct
the view from the streets, and where
they ' would fit Into an attractive
scheme. At tn early date Commis
sioner O'Steen desires to have a
meeting of these property owners
and other Interested persons, to ex
plain tho Ideas already advanced and
to bring out others; and notice of this
meeting will be given In this paper.
In a short time work will be pushed
on tho'drivo around Lake Wire, and
it is planned to organize a similar
association of the property owners
and citizens interested In beautifying
the suroundlngs of that lake.

I've changed my rate to seaman now,
and will be on land until I get my
discharge. I don't like the sea at
nil, I'm what the sailors call a "land
lubber." We put In at Brest. France.
and I had only three hours liberty or
shore leave. I don't like France an
well as I do the good old "United
States," but it is undoubtedly an In
teresting country. I'd like to visit
Paris.
I enlisted in the Navy only for the
duration of the war, and now that
the war is over, (although official
peace has not been declared) I'm
more than willing to leave for home.
The service is real nice but I like
civilian life even better. I
The navy Improves you physically,'
I'm sure, as I only weighed 118 when
I enlisted and now I weigh 139, so
that proves that they feed us swell. '
The best dinner I have ever had w?.s
here Thanksgiving, W8 had all the
turkey we could eat, and everything
that went, with a big dinner even to
Ihe cigar. Still I want home, now
that I have done all I can. I may be
home first part of February but no
i sooner I don't plan. I rate a fur
lough 1-14-18.
Give my best regards to all, Mrs.
Powell, and I certainly hope you are
el. and remain so. Lovingly,
Tour friends,
BALLARD.
