village the only way to reach the village is to turn off the main Highway several miles away and cut down up through and across Hills valleys Cliffs and streams when the inhabitants of the village thought that it ought to have a name they decided to hold a contest and contestants find the going Mighty tough a car has to make its own roads and build its own Bridges or else swim across struggle struggle toil and no no trouble but plenty of mud rocks and bumps the ruts get rougher and deeper and it takes a steady hand on the wheel as a matter of fact to get anywhere in this contest a Fell's got to have everything under control and then just to throw the rest of them off his Trail this driver takes to the water an Old Creek bed doesn't make a very good road but it's a good shortcut when you're in a hurry up in these yah mountains a road is still called a road even if it's just an old pile of rocks anyway they can't come much rougher than this at last he reaches the village congratulations are in order and the village is named after the [Music] winner the sport of wrestling Finds Its way into the Everglades Tommy Clark veteran of the ring is touring the local Countryside

shooting Miami police are practicing their shooting on the Run what's this a duel pistols at 20 Paces boys well good luck just when a policeman begins to think he's a dead shot on two feet they

[Applause] [Music] knees after winter comes spring and along with spring comes every Skipper with his boat a little varnish a little elbow grease and she's ready for the spring launching it's a long Portage from dry duck to a far away Lake in the mountains but it doesn't seem to worry this Skipper shiver my timers says he but this is no time for shivering bommy breezes are blowing over the bay Tire down tight and let's get underway all ship shap the lady that was known as Lou takes off on a long dry cruise into the mountains there's nothing like a private little Lake miles from nowhere
