$800,000 Bond Issue Up for Decision Tuesday

(Continued from page 1) cut in half that $600,000 figure it might more nearly give an idea of the true worth of the system to the city." Cites Court Victories Hopkins cited the victory of Miami and Tampa in their battles to seek relief from the courts from franchises. Much might be accomplished by the Gables, he said, at relatively small cost. Hopkins said his real preference was to come to some more favorable terms of purchase rather than to petition the courts, But if lower terms are not to be had then let's "fight and fight hard for our rights", Hopkins urged. Following the two talks members of the Junior Chamber voted unanimously to favor the deal. A number of queries developed around the expected ability or the part of the City to develop its own wells and water production plant, and the financing thereof. The forum meeting was under the chairmanship of Fred Deistelhorst. The Riviera received long-distance telephone calls yesterday from former Mayor Paul D. McGarry and former Commissioner P. J. O'Shaughnessy, both vacationing in North Carolina, adding their endorsement to the support of the purchase. "I feel that the purchase of the water system is for the best interests of Coral Gables," McGarry said, "and I do not hesitate to urge my fellow citizens to vote for the bond issue." Colonel O'Shaughnessy said that the former commission had gone into the matter in great detail and that he was firmly convinced that the system could not be purchased at a lesser cost. He also predicted that municipal operation of the system would ultimately result in lower taxes. Others adding their endorsements included Dr. Thomas H. Reed, municipal finance expert, who made the original survey and recommended the purchase to the commission; Carl F. Lambert, utility engineer; former Commissioner Milton B. Garris, engineer; A. W. Barrett and Municipal Judge C. S. Robertson.

Good Recipes Offered by Club "Cooks"

Scanning the Coral Gables Woman's Club cook book we came across some delectable recipes that made our mouth water, we pass them on to you: Mrs. Fred Ralsten, who entertains frequently in her home at 803 Alhambra Circle, offers a recipe for baked grapefruit used usually as a first course. Halve the fruit; remove core and white membrane, fill the center with brown sugar, or honey. Add a spot of butter and bake under the broiler for half an hour. A tablespoon of sherry added a few minutes before baking is finished, will greatly improve the flavor. Mrs. Arthur Moore of 508 Hardee Road, offers a "Shrimp Curry" that sounds interesting and easy for hot weather cooking: 1 onion browned, 1 can of tomato soup. Dilute soup with 1-2 can water and 1-2 cup of milk. 1-2 tspn of mustard. Cook 15 minutes. Add 1 pound of cooked shrimp, salt and pepper and simmer slowly for 1-2 hour. Mrs. Davis Estill's "Baked Pork Chops" (southern style) are good: 8 large sweet potatoes, 2 large oranges, 1 1-2 cups brown sugar, 8 pork chops. Cook sweet potatoes in boiling salt water until tender. Cool and skin them. Slice orange unpeeled, very thin. Remove seeds. Put layer of sweet potatoes in buttered baking pan. Put few slices of orange over potato. Sprinkle half the sugar, cover with the rest of the sweet potatoes and orange and sprinkle the rest of the sugar over top. Brown pork chops in hot skillet. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange chops over sweet potatoes and orange. Add three tbls. of water. Cover and bake in a moderate oven for hour until chops and orange rind are soft and tender. Baste occasionally during cooking with syrup that forms in baking dish. No case of sunstroke has ever been recorded in the Miami area.

Noted Agriculturalist to Join University of Miami Faculty

One of America's foremost experimental agriculturalists will join the University of Miami faculty next fall when Dr. Walter T. Swingle becomes consultant in tropical botany. No stranger to Florida, Dr. Swingle spent six years here before 1900 investigating the pathology and cross-breeding of citrus fruits. With Lyman I. Briggs he originated tangelos, limequats, citranges and other hybrid citrus varieties. He introduced the fig insect into California, making possible the culture of Smyrna-type figs in this country. He was responsible, too, for the first shipment of standard varieties of date palms from Algeria into California and Arizona. His work as a member of a commission of the United States Department was largely instrumental in establishing the culture of Egyptian cotton in Arizona and Acala cotton in California. An outgrowth of his work with plants was his improvement of high-powered microscopes through several inventions. Recognized internationally, Dr. Swingle is a member of many foreign scientific societies. In 1939 Brazil called upon him to act as technical adviser on the culture of cinchona, a tree whose bark supplies quinine. As a plant explorer and investigator of botanical and agricultural methods, Swingle has traveled in Morocco, Algeria, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, the Balkans, Asia Minor, China, Japan, the Philippines and Mexico. Since 1934 Swingle has been principal pathologist in the division of plant exploration and introduction, United States Department of Agriculture. From 1902 to 1934 he had charge of crop pathology and breeding investigations in the division of plant pathology. He is author of many studies of botany, agriculture and Chinese culture. Death and Taxes ARE certain your Tax Assessor is as important as your doctor-maybe more so, today-see him now.

Benefiting From Editors' Visit

TAMPA, July 10 (FNS).-Although over two months have passed since the National Editorial Association visited Florida; and editors from all sections of the country were taken on a 10-day tour of the state, which included a visit to Coral Gables, Russell Kay, president of the Florida Press Association, reports that a careful check of the nation's press shows that Florida is still receiving a tremendous benefit from a publicity standpoint. Hundreds of pages of feature stories have appeared and thousands of pictures. The Florida Press Association is carefully checking this publicity and later will release a tabulation which will reveal just how much publicity each community received and its approximate value had it been paid for a regular rates. "Over 400 pages of press clippings already have been compiled and will be displayed a concrete evidence of results gained for Florida through our entertainment of the National Editorial group," Kay stated.

Girls Spend 18 Hours in Florida Cave

Marianna, July 10 (FNS)-Hungry, cold, wet and worried, two Florida girls, lost in the Chipola river limestone caverns near here spent 18 hours huddled in darkness until rescued by a member of the searching party of over 300. The girls, Mary Elizabeth Rhyne of Marianna and her house guest Emma Bess Wats of Jacksonville, set out to explore the caverns on Saturday morning carrying a flash light, candles and matches. Following one of the countless passages, they became lost. Their flashlight gave out, candles burned away and finally matches were gone, leaving them in the inky blackness where they huddled for nearly 18 hours until found by rescuers. Refreshed with warm food and rest the girls appeared little affected by their experience. Miss Rhyne is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Rhyne, owner of the caverns, which are being developed as a state attraction by Florida Park service.

Opening exercises included the oath and law and Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. The business was discussed by the assistant scoutmaster, after which the patrols gave their patrol meeting minutes. Games played were socko and blind boxing. A scout drill was conducted by a visiting student from the army flying school at the University. The troops fell out for some boxing, with an O'Grady drill following. Scout meeting was informal and devoted almost entirely to games due to the heavy rain. The meeting closed with the scoutmaster's benediction and friendship circle. WALTER NICHOLS, JR. Scribe.
