"Imposing Cathedrals"


 ST. AUGUSTINE



 THE oldest city in the United States presents an
 unusual spectacle from the air; its narrow streets.
 old. old houses and imposing cathedrals create an im-
 pression that we are flying over another world. On this
 spot. Don Juan Ponce De Leon landed in 1513. and
 here ended his famous search for the Eternal Fountain
 of Youth.

 Our imagination runs riot as we gaze down into the
 interior of grim old Ft. San Marco; its gray walls and
 deep moats an impregnable defense against enemies of
 other years:-today, a well preserved, mediaeval monu-
 ment to the progress of man,-splendidly inadequate as
 a defense towards the modern machines of war. This
 fort, now called Ft. Marion, is the only well preserved
 example of its kind remaining in the United States.

 But we must not be misled by our birdseye impression;
 for under us, lies a modern and progressive city of
 today! A city blessed with a semi-tropical climate.
 wide expanses of sandy beaches, and all kinds of thrills
 for the sportsman in every walk of life.
