The Clipper Crowd NEWS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE PERSONNEL OF PAN-AMERICAN AIRWAYS

By Nancy Humphreys One of the best looking bachelors in Pan American will soon be out of circulation. The engagement of Miss Imogene Howard, daughter of Mrs. Howard and the late J. H. Howard, has just been announced by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jennings D. Howard, 3001 N. W. Thirtieth Street. Junior Engineer Eyers is (as practically everyone in Pan Am knows) the son of Francis George Eyers, shop superintendent. Definite wedding plans have not yet been settled. * * * Demure Miss Mary Lee Morrison is "in the Navy now". On July third she became the bride of Roland H. Pinder, who is a radioman stationed at the Naval Air Station, Opa Locka. Only members of both families and intimate friends were present at the ceremony, which was performed by Father Soper that Thursday at 7:30 P. M. at St. Stephens' Episcopal Church in Coconut Grove. The bride, who is the daughter of Mrs. Frank Morrison, 24 S. W. 20th Avenue, was lovely in a powder-blue street length dress, with matching accessories. Her corsage was of yellow sweetheart roses. Mr. Pinder is the son of Mrs. Margaret Pinder, 1023 South Miami Avenue. The newlyweds are still house-hunting; hope to be settled within a few weeks. Both Mr. and Mrs. Pinder attended Miami Senior High School. * * * The search for clothes (even a trousseau does wear out) has brought Mrs. William A. Custer, Jr. (the former Judy Norregaard of City Traffic) to Miami for three weeks. Since her October wedding Judy has been making her headquarters in Bogata, Columbia-travelling up and down the west coast of South America from there with her husband, who is technical representative for E. I. DuPont Nemours. She likes to how the shops down there do carry American styles, but shameful they don't quite have the "omph" that one can find on Lincoln Road-or even Flagler Street! And, besides, she wanted to visit her mother, Mrs. Anna Norregaard, of 3980 Park Avenue, Coconut Grove. Incidentally, The Riviera is proud to claim Mrs. Fisher as one of its foreign subscribers-she says it's "like a breath from home". * * * Junior Pilot Warfield Hester and his charming wife, Jinny, are proudly announcing the arrival of a daughter, Caroline Brevard, at the crack of dawn on July 3rd. This healthy young 7-lb., 7-oz. miss will be making her home at 3242 Lincoln Avenue, Coconut Grove. * * * When Pan Am's Paul Miller "entertained" at Hollywood Beach Hotel last Tuesday night he had an audience of 150 beauful girls (and their dates!). The occasion was a special entertainment for the convention of Lamba Tau Delta sorority. Mr. Muller's contribution was a 45-minute technicolor movie with sound dialogue, "The Land of the Incas," followed by an explanatory talk. But not even 150 beautiful girls could distract this ambassador of good will-for he regularly gives anywhere from seven to ten performances a week. The titles of his movies are varied: Transpacific Crossing (showing all the islands at which Pan Am touches), circles of the Treasure Islands of the Pacific, By Air to Alaska, By Air to Argentine, Sky-way to Hawaii, Mexican Fiesta, Guatemala-Rainbow Vacation; Yucatan Holiday, Bermudiana, etc. Mr. Muller ardently promotes good will between the American Republics; is a sincere believer in everything he preaches. * * * Vacation Notes: Miss Peggy Brownlow, of the Executive offices, traipsed up to Fernandina, Florida, to spend the week end of the Fourth. This was formerly her home-and the boy she left behind is still not too uninteresting . . . Ted Gilmore, also of the Executive offices, spent his Fourth in Havana-and on his probable escapades we can only speculate . . . Miss Florence Gilg, secretary in the Port au Prince offices, flew to Miami for her vacation . . . A fishing trip will be the high spot of E. S. Spencer's vacation in cool, cool Maine (he's in the City Traffic office) . . . The abode at 3838 Irvington Avenue, Coconut Grove lost one occupant for the week end of the Fourth, and acquired an additional guest. Junior Pilot Sid Adger took a flying trip home to Shreveport, La., to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Adger. He touched Maxwell Field, Ala., and visited friends at Ft. Knox, Kentucky. That's a lot of territory to cover from Thursday to Monday! Meanwhile, Sid's roommate, Junior Pilot Ned Mullen, entertained as house guest his brother, Lieutenant Mark Mullen, who is the Commanding Officer at Gunter Field, Montgomery, Ala . . . Miss Frances Manning, of Accounting, spent a week interesting six days in Mexico-and then was stranded in Havana (runout in passports will have days trying to return to Miami . . . She's laden with pictures and souvenirs . . . thinks Mexico City is a wonderful place-but it's awfully nice to return to American food! . . . Vacationing in Mexico at the moment is Miss Mary Ruth Garrison, also of Accounting . . . Incidentalily there are uncanny rumblings that, due to heavy traffic, employee passes aren't going to be much good from Mexico to Mexico City . . . However, rumblings are still strictly unofficial-just poises in the night. * * * Since the inception of this Column, The Riviera has been very cheerfully sending sample copies to Pan Am employees. Alack and alas, all good things must come to an end. If you can't decide by now that you like this well enough to subscribe-it can't make much difference whether you read it or not. At any rate, ye columnist will very cheerfully handle your subscriptions. Rates: for six months, $1.25; for one year, $2.00. Rates are for mail subscriptions in greater Miami. Just telephone 4-1553 of an early morning or evening-or send a little note care of Pan American Airways, du-Pont Building. * * * When W. I. Stiles, navigation instructor, moved to the Reading Boidoun in Coconut Grove, he instituted a series of changes in the Terminal. Chief pilot Fatt and his secretary, Kay Beatson, took over Mr. Stiles' office. Chief Steward Bobcock is now settling down in Captain Fatt's old quarters, and Clarence is squeezing into into Mr. Babcock's former office. (Oh, every day is moving day in Pan American!) * * * Night Watchman Rufus Small was innocently tending the Aviation Building the other evening when some of his young navy former comrades came inquiring as to the date of his return from the Augusta Military Academy. Said the lad facetiously, "I bet Clayton returns all spiffed out in a uniform." Mr. Small was dubious (his son is quite modest). But the lad persisted, "I bet he does wear one, too. They're such a lady with the girls!" The other thirteen - year - olds solemnly agreed. MRS. CONNALLY PLANS TRIP TO NEW YORK Mrs. Lillian Connally plans to leave August 1 for New York where she will superintend the buying of new costumes for her revue this fall. Mrs. Connally plans to open the first of her revues in September at the Royal Palm Club. Other contracts following in quick succession will be the Miami Junior Woman's Club Cabaret; the Homesteadd Woman's Club Show and the Episcopal Church Guild show in Key West.

$50,000 Program Aims to Develop State Resources

ORLANDO, July 10 (FNS).—The Florida Research Foundation took steps here this week toward setting up a $50,000 program aimed at the development of the state's agricultural and industrial resources to the benefit of national defense. H. I. Mossbarger, Miami, president and general manager, told members of the board that plants from which new and valuable products could be produced would be set out in Florida under a model planting system after determination of the types of soil best suited for their growth. Chester B. Treadway, executive secretary of the Florida Association of Chain Stores, who has been serving as chairman of the board of the Foundation, resigned, and was succeeded as chairman by George Ware, banker, of Leesburg. Stuart H. Bowman of Clermont was elected vice-chairman. Treadway remains a member of the board.

It is now owned and operated by Joe Clements (Grandma's Kitchen), Miami. Mr. and Mrs. Clements and their daughter, Joan summer there. Rosemary, who graduated in June from Ponce de Leon High School, visited Miss Jeanne Butcher, also a Ponce graduate of Williamsburg, Ky., and Miami, for a week. Rosemary and Jeanne, as well as several other Ponce de Leon High School graduates plan to enter Duke University, Durham, N. C. in the fall.

LESSON-SERMON

Churches of Christ, Scientist. "Sacrament" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon which will be read in Churches of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world on Sunday, July 13. The Golden Text is: "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another" (John 13:34, 35). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him" (Matt. 4:19,20). 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: "First in the list of Christian duties, he taught his followers the healing powers of Truth and Love. He attended no importance to dead ceremonies. It is the living Christ, the practical Truth, which makes Jesus 'the resurrection and the life' to all who follow him in deed" (p. 31:12-17).

SERMON TOPIC ANNOUNCED

"How Is It?" is the subject of the sermon to be delivered by the Rev. Carlock Hawk at the 11 o'clock Service Sunday at the Coral Gables Methodist Church. --- Save the embarrassment of seeing your name in tax delinquent list-see your Tax Collector today.

Technical Fluke Gives Florida Five-Day Week

TAMPA, July 10 (FNS).—Lawyers who delight in technicalities have been having fun here with interpretations of House Bill No. 61 and contend that Florida, under its ruling, is technically operating under a 5-day week. The act passed by the 1941 Legislature, amends acts relating to legal holidays and designates among other holidays "the first day of the week, commonly called 'Sunday.'" The act also sets forth that whenever a legal holiday falls on Sunday, the Monday following shall be observed as a business holiday. Thus sticklers contend that since the law designates "Sunday" as a legal "holiday" and also provides that when a legal "holiday" falls on Sunday, the following day, or Monday, shall be observed as a "holiday", it automatically makes "Monday" a legal "business holiday" in this state. Under the bill it is pointed out that Labor Day, which occurs on the first Monday in September, now becomes a "double" holiday.

Mossbarger, president and general manager of the Florida Research Foundation, which was established by the state legislature, will be one of the principle speakers. The organization is charged with the responsibility of finding and offering to the public all natural resources of the state now laying dormant. W. F. Therkildson, agricultural editor of the Miami Herald, is chairman of the program committee.
