Scene of Tonight's Show

Diving towers and spectator section of Miami Biltmore Pool.

Pool Show—

(Continued from Page One) world's champion trampoline diver; Larry Griswold, sensational trapeze diver; Ray Twaty, eastern champ; Hank Akers, Irish diving champion and Charlie Diehl, heavyweight diving champion. Evelyn Rawls and Betty Joyce McNill will again present their graceful water waltz number, a feat requiring precision as well as grace. The Nelson sisters, who thrilled throngs last summer on the high Trapeze at the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus, will be present to present their death-defying act. Also from Ringling's will be George Gregg, ace clown. Tee and Tuck, acrobatic team, are also scheduled to appear. Climaxing the show will be Tom Seiler's sensational high dive into a pool of flames. Seiler holds several world's records for high diving, and adds zest to his act by first covering the water with a film of flaming gasoline through which he dives from his high tower.

Kaltenborn—

(Continued from Page One) to offend any potential buyer of their products—that Rolf Kaltenborn discussed in his radio class at the University of Miami last week. Rolf Kaltenborn, who is a brilliant young radio critic and author, is the son of the noted news commentator H. V. Kaltenborn, and has just recently returned from a lecture tour throughout New England. Though Mr. Kaltenborn considers American radio the world's freest and most democratic he has three proposals to make it more so. He thinks that Congress should define exactly what it means when it says that a radio station should be operated in the "public interest". He advocates a radio Supreme Court comprising representatives of the broadcasters, the government and the listening public. Mr. Kaltenborn urges listeners to be more alert, better informed, so that they can contribute constructive criticism of radio.

In Our Mail —OUR READERS WRITE—

511 Cadima Ave. Coral Gables, Fla. March 17, 1941 Editor of the Coral Gables Riviera Coral Gables, Fla. Dear Sir: As the owner of a home on Cadima Ave., I am most certainly opposed to the proposed development of University tennis courts between LeJeune Road, Riviera Drive, Cadima Ave. and Fluvia Ave. Even if the grounds were made beautiful there would be no way of eliminating the noise of the spectators and the automobiles. The street in front of my house would be one of the parking places. Two or three times in the past when some especially interesting affair at the University has made parking space in a premium, the 500 block at Cadima has been utilized. I know whereof I speak when I say that the procedure when leaving was for the first car to sound its horn loud and long, then one by one the others would take it up each trying to outdo his friends. We who built our homes in a restricted district ought not to be forced to sacrifice our quiet and privacy and an inevitable depreciation in the value of our property. No one is more desirous of the success of the University than myself, but until every home owner in Coral Gables is willing to donate one or two thousand dollars to the University, the owners of homes in this neighborhood should not be expected to donate that amount by the depreciation of their property. Every citizen of Coral Gables ought to resent, and many do, the insult given our Commissioner by the Sports Editor of the Miami Herald. Coral Gables has, as Commissioners, high class business men who have the welfare of the city at heart. As such, they could not have decided otherwise than they did. They are aware that if they took off the restrictions in one residence district, there would be no more building in that area, and that people would hesitate to build elsewhere in Coral Gables, lest at the request of some other group, they would receive the same treatment. Coral Gables is justly famed as a city of homes. Let us be thankful that our Commissioners intend to keep it so. Very truly, (Mrs.) May W. Mattocks City Editor, Coral Gables Riviera, Coral Gables, Fla. Dear Sir:— The Dade County Federation of Women's Clubs wishes to thank you for the really fine publicity you have given the "Fiesta of Stars" in your paper. We know that you are always ready to help a really good cause and so we did not hesitate to call on you to help with our scholarship fund. With the best of good wishes to you and your paper, I am Sincerely yours, Mrs. C. J. La Huis, Chairman. Mrs. Sydney L. Weintraub, President.

Ponce School—

(Continued from Page One) Walker McGough of the Kiwanis Club; and this writer. Mrs. Cox although living only three blocks from the school had never been in Ponce de Leon High school. Mrs. Granfield had, for her daughter Barbara is a student there. Mr. McGough hadn't, we had but not on a tour of inspection. Those judges were amazed. They saw 904 clean cut students in action, reciting, in study hall. They witnessed the changing of classes or periods when hundreds of happy faced youngsters swung down long corridors up and down stairs to other rooms to portables all within the space of a few minutes. The judges also saw something no other school in Dade county possesses. A completely furnished residence for the girls home economics department. This Spanish residence was one of the three originally designed buildings comprising the group built in 1926 on the 20 acre tract. It is attached to the administration building by a long winding loggia. In it are living room, dining room and large electrically equipped demonstration kitchen on the first floor. Second floor has in addition to bedrooms and bath a large sewing laboratory. More girls sign up for the home economics courses each semester. They learn all about balanced diets while learning to cook on clean safe dependable electricity. They learn how to make their own clothes. Those were the nice things the judges saw. They also saw overcrowded class rooms, some in portables; inadequately equipped laboratory work rooms, also some in portables; inadequate cafeteria; a gymnasium which also serves as assembly hall by the addition of 900 portable chairs once a week. The cafeteria, (they were frying king fish steaks when we were in) trys to serve nearly 900 students in three shifts. Because it is so crowded, most of the tudents simply buy a wrapped sandwich or two and a bottle of milk and sit out on the lawn for their luncheon. As for the band, that group of snappy red and black clad youngsters, whose excellent music is often heard in Gables' civic affairs, under the capable leadership of Carl Fein, study in the most deplorable of all the portables. Walking back across the campus, the building really faces the broad tree dotted lawns not the street, the judges commented on their experience and they all left with the same opinion, that Ponce de Leon High School while filled with the highest type of students functions in wholly inadequate surroundings. The student council announces the following results of the judges. Wining first cash prize was Miss Symonds room 9-A. Second cash prize went to the library which also serves as a study hall. Third to the Home Economics department, and 3 honorable mentions were awarded 203-A (9-B Robert Mateer, teacher); 206-A (10-A Mrs. Maudie Cook, teacher) and 210-A (9-A Mrs. E. Richie Clawson, teacher.)

State supervision of local government finances, coordination of all tax assessing and collecting agencies in a county, and a general stiffening of tax collection laws, is recommended in the Brookings Institution's report on Florida finances.

Always alert for anything that will promote Florida citrus fruits, the Florida Junior Chamber of Commerce has adopted Florida citrus juice as its official drink and urges all other state organizations to do likewise.

Flagler Race—

(Continued from Page One) Nature is one of the few greyhounds ever to whip My Topper. Both greyhounds are owned by Bud Carroll, who also is the owner of World Champion Rural Rube. Carroll is West Flagler's leading money winning owner of the season. Taking the lead away from Mrs. Frank Jones shortly after the season opened, Carroll has steadily piled up a commanding advantage and is expected to finish far in front of the other owners. Fred Whitehead is lodged in second place at the present with Mrs. Jones, owner of that all-time syre, My Laddie, in third position.

Contestants from four southern states were entered in the contest for Azalea Queen held at Azalea Gardens, Palatka, last Sunday, and Miss Kathleen Turner of Winter Haven won the coveted title.

BILTMORE By MILTON M. CHAPMAN Managing Director

One of the most interesting people I have met at the Miami Biltmore this season arrived with the group taking part in the Southeastern tournament of the American Contract Bridge League last week. The gentleman in question was George Beynon, one of the directors of the tournament. A former newspaper man, onetime correspondent for the Associated Press, Mr. Beynon also handled stories on the matches for papers and news services. He is one of seven men connected with the American Contract Bridge League who go from city to city handling tournaments. Asked where his home was, Mr. Beynon informed me it was in his car. Of course he doesn't sleep in it, as he always gets to a town with a hotel before nightfall. Usually, however, he arrives at a tournament. He still takes care of the Associated Press when he sees a good story, Mr. Beynon informed me. On one occasion he was going over a small toll bridge in Tennessee in the small hours of the morning. When the bridge tender failed to come out and collect the toll after repeated soundings of the automobile horn, Mr. Beynon decided to investigate. Going into the toll house, Mr. Beynon found the bridge tender sprawled out on the floor, his throat slashed and the till in the cash register rifled. After notifying the state police and getting all the information he could, he decided to wire the story to the Associated Press. Racing to the nearest town, he found all the telegraph offices closed. He went to the railroad station and that was closed, too. However, true newspaper man that he is, Mr. Beynon was not to be outdone. He went to an all-night restaurant, ascertained who the telegrapher was in the railroad station and got him out of bed. The story got to the Associated Press. "It was full of human interest, too," says Mr. Beynon. "The man's wife had given birth to a son that morning, and there was her husband dead that night. Not very pleasant, of course; but full of human tragedy." He got a nice bonus check from the Associated Press for his "scoop". Mr. Beynon left the Associated Press job to handle publicity for Ely Culbertson, the noted bridge player. You may recall the famous "Battle of the Century" between Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson and Mr. and Mrs. P. Hal Sims, probably the greatest quartet of bridge experts that could be brought together at the time. That was Mr. Beynon's job. Now he is happily ensconced in his ambassadorial post of going from tourney to tourney and seeing that everyone has a good time and that the matches get under way properly. He likes his job because he likes people. And he's meeting new ones every day. The "D. D.'s" are at it again. The Divot Digging Duffers, a group of eight golfers at the Miami Biltmore Country Club are having their second round robin tournament. The first tournament, held in February, was won by Bob Paige, who topped the field by winning six games and losing only one. He won a gold set of gentleman's shirt jewelry graciously donated by Brad Barnes' brother-in-law, Mr. J. H. Daughaday from Providence, R. I. while a house guest of the Barnes'. The March tournament has now passed the half-way mark and the standing is as follow: Won | Lost Tony Daino leading with four games won and no losses. | 4 | 0 Otto Ellison | 3 | 1 Dennis Cray | 3 | 1 Ciate Dovey | 2 | 2 Brad Barnes | 2 | 2 Fred Neale | 2 | 2 Bob Paige | 2 | 2 Walt Feltyberger | 0 | 4 This tournament prize consists of a silver gentleman's dress shirt jewelry, again donated by H. J. Daughaday. The runner-up prize consists of a bottle of rum the contents of which must be consumed.
