Highways Get New Route Designations For all these things and many others, too, We dedicate this book, Mrs. Wall, to you. After 31 years of teaching she is retiring this year.

MRS. HARRIETTE A. WALL, in addition to being a most gracious lady, is one of the most intriguing persons to talk to one could find. Having taught so many of our local citizens, she has helped to mold good character and citizenship to our civic leaders of this community, as well as higher Govt leaders. Mrs.

Wall started teaching the first grade in 1925. She taught this grade for six years, then taught American history for 16 years in Cocoa High School. She has taught various other subjects throughout her teaching career. With her unlimited energy, she has been active in various civic clubs. She belongs to Phi Kappa Phi, Delta Kappa Gamma and Kappa Delta Phi.

She is a graduate of the University of Florida in Gainesville. MRS. WALL'S family consists of a husband and two daughters, Mrs. L. B.

Fraser, whose husband is a commander in the navy, and Mrs. P. R. Gentry, whose husband is a chief petty officer in the navy. She has four grandchildren.

She is a native Floridian. Her hobby is gardening. The students of Cocoa High School dedicated their 1956 annual to her in addition to the many other things they have planned which remain secret at this time in order to help express their gratitude for her many years of service to them. THE FUTURE Teachers Club, which was organized a year ago, named their club the Harriette A. Wall club in her TITUSVILLE Road map route designations went out the window this week when three roads on Merritt Island received new route markers and two of them received new numbers.

State Road 402 east out of Titusville extending to Playa-linda Beach, retains its original number but is adorned with new markers. A1A, two miles west of Playalinda has been redesignated as State Road 401. This road extends to the north gate of the missile base. State Road 3, which junctions with 402 at Wilson, ftVz miles east of Titusville, has Only Minor Proposals Involved By JACK FORTES Staff Writer INDIALANTIC This town, first to approve a water contract with the City of Mel bourne, is waiting for an answer from Melbourne to minor changes proposed by the Indialantic town council, it was announced Monday night Council Pres. Walter Hay-ward said the changes approved by council two weks ago following a public hearing on the proposed water contract have been submitted to Melbourne city officials and to Alfred LeFeber and Associates, consulting engineers.

Melbourne, in the meantime, is in the process of getting possible water customers in the Indialantic area and is waiting for an offical answer from the town of Melbourne Beach. This answer might come 'at the monthly town, commission meeting June 15. THE TOWN council here Monday night discussed problems brought on by rapid growth and heard the reading oi a proposed ordinance aimed at "back yard" mosquito control. One problem facing the council is centered around drainage on Michigan Ave. J.

W. Clapp, who has appeared before the council previously, said Monday nieht the onen ditch is ruining my property." ine aucn runs alongside his property and. ClaDD said, is too deep. Councilman Keith McDaniel chairman of the street and road committee, and Mavor Louis H. Mussler explained the councu plans to put culverts in to replace the onen drainage ditch when funds become avail able.

They said the deDth of ditch was recommended bv en gineers in order to care for a maximum water runnoff. A copy of a mosauito enn trol ordinance submitted by wouniy tur. Lee Wenner was read by Hayward, and was followed by Hayward's comment that it "seems like an unon. forcible ordinance." He explained it would entail an in- spection. of the vicinity surrounding homes hunting containers that would collect mos-quitos and provide breeding grounds.

One-Way Streets Cause Confusion To Drivers Tornado-Like Funnel Seen At Titusville TITUSVILLE No damage has been reported from the Tornado-like water spout seen whipping its -way off the northern tip of Merritt Island yesterday morning. Roy Carpenter Jr. called The Sentinel office at 10:20 a.m. and reported the funnel-shaped wind was traveling southward over a section of the Banana Creek. The whirling spout, which broke up seconds later, was followed by heavy thunderheads making their way toward Titusville.

BYJv'OON, with only a smattering of rain, the heavy cloud formation had completely broken up. Calls to Allenhurst Fish Camp Haulover Canal and O'Donnells Fishing Camp on State Road 3 and A1A failed to disclose any damage from the winds seen from the shoreline of the Indian River at Titusville. NEITHER fishing camp had seen the twister, but did see the dark thunderheads which preceded and followed the freakish winds. Light rains fell while the heavy clouds were gathered. No winds of exceptional violence were reported.

Sgt. Frank Cantor, weather observer at PAFB, reported a funnel shaped cloud of the base at 10:20 a.m. He said no damage had been reported. Carpenter said the formation did not resemble a water spout. Weather observers said there is little formation difference between a tornado and a water spout except one is over land and the it over been re-marked as 3 and A1A.

Previously designated A1A traverses the ocean front from south of PAFB to Sebastian Inlet. This new marking will route motorists along the ocean front from Shiloh to Sebastian Inlet. Continuation of A1A southward is in the hopper of the State Road Board and Brevard County. Requests were made to State Road Board member William H. Dial, April 20 by Brevard County Commissioners to include bridging Sebastian Inlet in the primary road projects which start July 1.

Cocoa Told To Observe Water Ban COCOA City officials yesterday thanked the public for its generally good observance of water limitations throughout the city and at the same time reminded water patrons of the need to respect the ban on lawn sprinkling during daylight hours. Since the restrictions of sprinkling went into effect the daily pumping load has dropped around 250,000 gallons daily. This average has also helped cut complaints of no water pressure to the bone, practically eliminating them completely. Water Supt. Otha Scarborough told The Sentinel yesterday.

THE CITY was pumping over a million gallons a day before the sprinkling ban went into effect. Now it is averaging around 800,000 daily. City Mgr. Claude Dyal earlier said the public's response had been gratifying to the problem brought on by the extended drought conditions. Lawn sprinkling is permitted from 9 to 11 p.m.

each night These hours were set up to take the load off pressures for household needs during the busy daylight period and for the early evening requirements.
