Coral Gables Riviera

With the COUNTRY CLUBBERS

By KARL D. SCHMITZ, Manager of the Country Club Of Coral Gables. Echoes of the First Annual University of Miami Tennis Tournament: Doctor Julian Eaton, one of our charter members, gladdened the hearts of Gardner Mulloy and his committee by presenting a beautiful large-size cup. Mr. Eaton was one of the tournament's most enthusiastic spectators, never missing a day from the time competition started. Quite a number of the feminine spectators found out what "Jinx" meant, including Helen Reynolds, The Riviera's charming society editor, and Dora Thomas, our ebullient secretary. Among the experts who apparently were greatly impressed by what went on during the week was Uncle Ev Clay, former star right-hander for Riviera. Ev devoted his entire column in the Herald two days running to the expertise of Champion Frank Kovacs and the other tennis stars. If you see Steve DeLanoy going about with his chest out and his chin up to here, it's because that grand old man of tennis, Frankie Watts, (Dept. Matchmaker) paid his a hearty compliment for his work in keeping the play running smoothly. More about the Tournament: A lowly Coral Gables bee had the effrontry to sting the mighty Bobby Riggs in the arm during his match with Jack Kraemer. Incidentally, Jack advises he is entering Rollins College. Looks like Rollins will soon be giving the mighty Hurricane netters some stiff competition. No account of the tournament would be complete without mention of the champion, Frank Kovacs. In our humble opinion, he is the greatest showman and crowd captivator in tennis today. After watching him through the entire week, and seeing some of his acrobatic shots, all we could think was: "There like that just can't be made." Newcomers to the Gables who have recently joined the club are: Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Stopper, who purchased a home on S. Greenway Drive, Mr. and Mrs. Stopper came here from Alexandria, La., with their children, Lawrence J., Jr., Benjamin, and Patricia. Lawrence, Jr., is attending the University of Miami, and Benjamin is going to Ponce Hi. Other new members include Mrs. Carmalita Benson of N. Greenway Drive, Mr. and Mrs. James E. Barton, Howard F. Morgan and Claude D. Renshaw. Saturday should be a busy day here at the club with the U. D. C. benefit bridge in the afternoon and the Military Order of the World War banquet that night. Then, too, there is our regular club dance following the banquet, which, we hope, will be in our spanish patio. (Suggestion to whether ed: How about a few balmy Saturday nights so we can renew acquaintance with the palm trees?) The Junior Class of the University has the dance-minded youth of Coral Gables agog over the appearance of the famous band leader Russ Morgan and his crew at the Roney Plaza Friday night, February 14. If our memory serves us right, this will be Morgan's first appearance in Florida in three or four years. A fishing feat which experts said was probably a record for light tackle was performed last week at West Palm Beach by Joseph Medill Patterson, publisher of the New York Daily News. With an 8-thread and boated a 7-foot sailfish on a 3-ounce tip pole with a 6-thread line. The Strait brothers, W. S. and James D., New Albany, Ohio, finest of the seasonal wing to the new municipal library at Lake Worth, arrived at their home in that city last week. Their first action was to deposit $5,000, the first installment on their donation, in the bank to pay for early construction.

Good Reasons For Good Service Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company

The traditional courtesy of telephone men and women and the efficiency of the service often prompt telephone users to ask if there is not some secret formula for this consistent performance. In reality there is no secret. It is just the practical operation of group cooperation, individual interest and pride in the job, and company spirit. Telephone employees are selected with care. They are constantly trained, kept fully informed about the company's affairs, and are continually encouraged to acquire the skill and experience necessary to maintain and improve the speed, accuracy and dependability of the service. The consciousness that theirs is an essential public service gives them a sense of personal responsibility. Good working conditions and recognition of individual merit are also sources of inspiration. The company's plan for retirement and care of its workers during sickness or disability, and the provisions for death benefits all safeguard their present and future and promote peace of mind. Further incentives to their cheerfulness and efficiency are stability of employment and good wages. Telephone men and women also know that the appreciation and interest so often expressed by the public is fully shared by the management of their company.
