These developers platted the town of Tampa Beach and began construction, which would take full advantage of the new Cross Bay Causeway (pictured) which...
Show moreThis article presents one of the few extant drawing of the original Tampa Beach Development which was the seed idea for Apollo Beach. Paul Dickman had owned the land and had long dreamed of creating a new town, which he called Tampa Beach. In 1954, he sold the land to a Fort Lauderdale development group, Turner, Dean and Clark for $10 million. These developers platted the town of Tampa Beach and began construction, which would take full advantage of the new Cross Bay Causeway (pictured) which was never built. The developers began a dredge and fill effort to create the town and began construction of the Flamingo Canal. They also offered 500 acres to the State of Florida to locate a new University (University of South Florida) but the government chose its current location north of Tampa, instead. The development company ran out of capital and did not accomplish much. The land reverted to Paul Dickman who late sold the land to the Corr family who ultimately were the developers of Apollo Beach

The Economics of Moses by George Miller.
-
Abstract/Description
-
The Economics of Moses was written by George Miller in the 1890s but was published here, in The Arena in 1905. This should be read in view of Miller's Christian Socialist beliefs and helps to explain his views on the political economy of the bible as a lesson in reorganizing America's laissez faire economics.

Reverse Side of Photo says: "The Lab" Tests sugar Content and Wrapping. There is a notation USDA and UFLA, but the context is not apparent.

The New Order of Jesus (JPG Not Searchable).

Abstract/Description

This book is a compilation of research conducted by George Miller, founder or Ruskin Fl and Ruskin College. Ruskin, at times mislabeled as a socialist community, is better described as an "intentional community" where like minded people lived together for a common purpose: in this case a community bounded together for educational, intellectual and communitarian pursuits. Some of Dr. Miller's thinking involves ideas of Christian Socialism best expressed in his writings. Chief among them is ...

Ruskin, at times mislabeled as a socialist community, is better described as an "intentional community" where like minded people lived together for a common purpose: in this case a community bounded together for educational, intellectual and communitarian pursuits. Some of Dr. Miller's thinking involves ideas of Christian Socialism best expressed in his writings. Chief among them is "The New Order of Jesus." This work helps explain some of Miller's communitarian thinking, which formed -- at least in part -- his ideas for the community of Ruskin and Ruskin College. It is NOT a new translation of the New Testament. Rather it is a monograph that explores Millers beliefs that mistranslations of the Bible relied on mistranslations of certain words in the Greek language. Exploring these in detail, Miller describes a more worldly mission for Jesus without diminishing his role as a savior figure. In the Introduction, he explicit denies this is a work of theology. but rather one of sociological construct. His main thesis is that these mistranslations led to an incorrect understanding of Jesus' mission. By correcting these mistranslations one will be aided in applying Jesus' words and missions to social conditions that needed attention in turn of the century America.
