Don't Fail to Vote

Gableites who live north of Coral Way and south of Tamiami Trail will find it worth the effort to go to the Coral Gables Elementary School Tuesday to vote on the school bond issue for District Two. Since our town appeals so strongly to parents as an ideal place in which to raise a family, we owe it to the new home owners and to ourselves to keep our school facilities abreast of population increases. The Coral Gables Elementary School is now in dire need of the financial aid the bond issue can provide. Although every available bit of space is being used, some classes are becoming so overcrowded that Miss Gilday, school principal, recently received a letter from state school authorities stating that it is imperative to cut down the size of her classes. One wing of the school building is without electricity. Some of the youngsters meet in a converted storeroom, for want of better facilities. These are only a few of the examples of the emergency which faces the school in its attempt to furnish the right kind of educational program for the children of Coral Gables. That situation affects both classes and teachers. But it is very important to those who plan to make their homes here in the future. Only by taking an active interest-by getting to the school on Tuesday and voting-can the problem be solved. Don't cripple your own school by failing to cast your ballot for the bond issue.

Mrs. Wade Livingston Street Attends Fiftieth Continental Congress D. A. R.

Mrs. Wade Livingston Street, Regent of the Coral Gables Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, will return to her home "Bird Villa" Sunday from Washington, D. C., where she is attending the fiftieth continental congress of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs. Street is representing the Coral Gables chapter at the Congress, which convened Monday, April 14, and will be in session through Sunday. When the Golden Jubilee projects, which during the past year were inaugurated by the 2500 chapters throughout this country, were reviewed the Florida report was given by Mrs. Thomas Claire Maguire of Plant City. (Mr. Maguire, who is the visiting State Regent for Florida, is one of the seven candidates for the presidency of The President General. She was endorsed for this office by the State Conference of the Florida Daughters in March). Florida has participated in one of the four National Jubilee Projects, the Penny Pines, by planting 1000 acres in the Hillsborough River State Park, near Plant City, in pine trees. Other State Jubilee projects are 1st, the raising of $1,000 for a room to be built at the Tamassee Industrial School, Tamassee, South Carolina; and 2nd, the pledging of another $1,000 to Crossnore School, Crossnore, North Carolina. These two schools are run entirely by the D.A.R. for the mountain children who have no other means of education. Registration began Monday morning and at 8:30 Monday night the opening session took place at Constitution Hall. Besides attending all of the important business sessions of the Congress, Mrs. Street also attended the luncheon for the Florida delegates which was given Tuesday at the Raleigh hotel. There she sang the Florida D.A.R. song, "The Dear Old Flag." Mrs. Street has received signal honors in being requested to sing this song for the second time at Continental Congress. Mrs. Maguire presided over the luncheon. Also on Tuesday there were pilgrimages to Arlington National Cemetary and to Mount Vernon. Repeating of the Historical Pageant which was given during the Golden Jubilee celebration last October was scheduled for Tuesday evening. Following this was an informal reception for Mrs. Henry M. Robert, Jr., retiring President General and other National officers. The Page's Ball at the Hotel Mayflower was on the program for Thursday night. Mrs. Street will give a detailed report of the Congress at the May meeting of the Coral Gables Chapter.

'Fifteen' Fine In Wilde Play

Just to avoid all the preliminary shilly-shallying, let's say at the outset that "The Importance of Being Earnest," the current offering at the Theatre of the Fifteen, is on our recommended list. We think you'll enjoy it. A comedy of manners written by Oscar Wilde, who was a Victorian blend of Dorothy Parker and George S. Kaufman, "The Importance of Being Earnest" is given a brisk, deft production by the Fifteen that had the audience laughing steadily most of the evening we caught the show. While Hale McKeen and Wilford Thompson carried the top roles as a duo of Victorian fops, several parts stood out in the supporting cast. James Crow was at his best as the Rev. Canon Chausuble, and drew a high percentage of the play's laughs. Mary Greene was in her element as Lady Bracknell, a horsey noblewoman. Barbara Parmley was very apealing as Gwendolen. Frank Rollinger did a beautifully traditional English butler. If this comedy is a fair sample of Vaughn Baggerly's direction, he has been wasting his time in the box office and on the stage. None of the laugh lines were muffed, and every point in the script scored. N. B.

Houston-Hurst Gets Colonial Wall Finishes

The Houston-Hurst Paint Co. announces that it has obtained the exclusive Coral Gables agency for the new Williamsburg Colors of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, and is offering this new line now to builders of new homes and those planning remodeling this summer. The Williamsburg colors are taken from the historic restored town of Williamsburg, Va., which was once capital of the crown colony there. All the old mansions and taverns have been carefully preserved in the original colors and furnishings; and it is from the interior paints that the Williamsburg colors derive. Ideally suited to the new Colonial homes being planned here, the new wall colors bear names familiar to all those who have visited Williamsburg: Wythe House Green, Wron Building Tan, Palace Guardroom Green and Raleigh Tavern Peach, to name a few. Only the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company is authorized to make and sell these colors by Colonial Williamsburg Incorporated.

LESSON-SERMON TOPIC ANNOUNCED

"Doctrine of Atonement" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon which will be read in Churches of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world on Sunday, April 20. The Golden Text is: "All things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation" (II Corinthians 5: 18). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water" (Hebr. 10:19, 22). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "If Truth is overcoming error in your daily walk and conversation, you can finally say, 'I have fought a good fight ... I have kept the faith,' because you are a better man. This is having our part in the at-one-ment with Truth and Love" (p. 21:1-5).

New Auto Tire Designed After Motorists Survey

Fashioned to the dictates of American motorists from the findings of a nation-wide consumer survey, a new passenger car tire of balanced construction is announced by The B. F. Goodrich as a leader in its 1941 tire line. The new tire, named the DeLuxe Silvertown, is strengthened with the use of Duramin, the chemical material discovered by the company that imparts long life and durability to rubber. Features of the tire include a "variable pitch" tread design, providing maximum traction and non-skid performance with a minimum of noise, and the use of "Safety-Weld" construction to provide added heat and blow-out protection. The survey, conducted through the company's 30,000 dealers and 6000 salesmen throughout the country, showed that long mileage, safety, uniform tread wear, quiet operation and attractive appearance were the tire requisites wanted by today's motorists, the company announcement revealed.
