Back to School
From the Miami Daily News, March 1, 1943: Anticipating another killing frost that would complete destruction of crops saved from the last freeze of two weeks ago, Broward county growers were pleasantly surprised to find very little damage was done and that mostly by windburn caused by strong northeast winds of Saturday and the milder but variable winds of Sunday.
Four negro schools which have been closed during the height of the farming season to enable pupils to work on farms in the county in an effort to relieve the acute labor shortage opened for regular sessions again Monday. These were the schools at Pompano, Deerfield, Oakland Park and Hammondville.
