SIGHTS SET ON FLORIDA
   Mr. and Mrs. John A. Seitz were guests of honor in the Regents Room of the Smithsonian Building on the afternoon of March 27.  The occasion was a "send-off" for Mr. Seitz, who retired at the end of March after more than 24 years' service on the guard force of the Smithsonian.
   Mr. Seitz came to the Smithsonian in 1931 after retiring as a quartermaster sergeant in the marine corps.  He had been assigned to the east door of the S. I. Building since 1937.
   Dr. Carmichael presented Mr. Seitz with a "Smithsonian Card" designed by Mr. Hellyer of the International Exchange Service and upon which were printed the names of the guard's many friends who contributed to a gift in token of their esteem.  In making the presentation, the Secretary stated that Mr. Seitz had been a faithful guardian of the east door, having escorted many visitors to his office and always having the ability to locate any member of the staff.
   Mrs. Seitz was presented with an orchid corsage.
   The couple is planning to live in Florida and will move there shortly.
