Gala Program Planned for Florida Day

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.- "Florida Day" will be celebrated September 3 at Atlantic City, where the Florida State Exhibits are located, according to Earl W. Brown, exhibits manager. "A proclamation will be issued by Governor Spessard L. Holland bidding the citizens and summer visitors at Atlantic City welcome to Florida, of which the exhibits present but a faint idea of the glories, advantages and attractions the Sunshine State has to offer," said Brown. The program of Florida Day will include a typical Florida breakfast party, a reception in the Palm Lounge of the Flor- ida exhibit to honor all Florida officials, a special showing of Florida films in the Embassy Theatre, a musicale by the Orange Blossom Quartet of Tallahassee and other Florida artists, several broadcasts and a tour of the exhibits on the Heinz and Steel Piers. In the evening the Florida delegation will be guests of honor at the "Miss America" pageant in Convention Hall, where "Miss Florida," "Miss Miami" and queens of Florida's festivals will be presented to an audience of 20,000. September 2 Florida will participate in the American Beauty Parade, a spectacular event of the "Miss America Pageant." An elaborate boat is being constructed in the mall of the Florida State Exhibit, upon which "Miss Florida," Miss Strother of Miami, and other Florida beauties will ride. Buttons carrying the metaphor "See You in Florida This Winter" will be worn by employees of the hotels, stores and restaurants along the Boardwalk and distributed among the spectators. Invited to attend the festivities are Florida's festival queens. They include Miss Kathleen Turner, the Azalea queen, elected by the Palatka Journal to reign at the Ravine Gardens in Palatka; Miss Elizabeth Colson, the Orange Festival queen, who rules at the Orange Festival in Winter Haven; the Orange Bowl queen, who presides over the famous football classic every New Year's at Miami; Miss Betsy Schrader, the queen of the Festival of States in St. Petersburg; the queen of the Verbena del Tobaco Fiesta; the queen of the Gasparilla, who leads the annual Mardi Gras celebrating the invasion of Jose Gaspr into the City of Tampa; the queen of the Pageant of Sara de Soto at Sarasota; Miss Martha Mitchell, the Gardenia queen of the Cypress Gardens; Miss Fannie Rose of Winter Haven, Magnolia queen; Miss June Courson of Winter Haven, queen of the Poinset Extravaganza; queen of the Florida Strawberry Festival at Plant City; Miss Iveanne Hall, "Miss Lakeland" and "Miss Florida Glamour Girl" and Miss Janet Barfield, queen of the Tupelo Honey Festival at Wewahitchka.

Correct Placing Of Home Urged

It is important that the small house be correctly placed on the site, just as for the more expensive home. The correct placing of the house on the site to obtain desirable sunlight and the benefit of (or protection from) prevailing winds may normally be accomplished with any small house plan. Federal Housing Administration officials point out that, if necessary to obtain the most desirable relationship of rooms to natural conditions, the same plan may be reversed about its center line or reversed and revolved. This seldom requires change in the plan beyond the possible relocation of the entrance door and possibly the kitchen or service entrance and change in location of windows in these rooms. When planned for, this factor in livability adds nothing to the cost of the house.

Gableites Respond Warmly To Humane Society Appeal

(Continued From Page 1) tendent of the society, said yesterday that individual contributions have amounted to approximately $1,000 since the drive started in the county. He said, however, that at least $12,000 is urgently needed, pointing out that there are certain expenses that cannot be avoided. The group rescues and cares for stray and indigent animals in Dade county, guards against inhumane treatment and conducts an educational program in Dade County Schools. New members of the Society, who own pets, are given a brass tag, numbered and registered with the Society. If a pet becomes lost or injured away from home, the Society immediately cares for it and contacts the owner. In showing the need for additional funds, Pusey pointed out that there are approximately 25,000 dogs alone, in Dade County. Persons in Coral Gables wishing to make a contribution may call any of the ladies on the committee. Their phone numbers are: Mrs. Park, 4-5771; Mrs. Kleupfel, 4-4342 and Mrs. McKenzie, 4-3019.

This Week in Defense

RELEASES-In a radio address to the Army on the reasons for extension of selective service, War Secretary Stimson said the Government realized the personal sacrifice of additional service but was also conscious of the danger to the United States. He said "some of the most significant symptoms ... which invariably forecast the coming of a new Axis attack ... are occurring in South America ... the most dangerous avenue of attack against us." The War Department announced that unless the international situation becomes more serious it intends to release by December 10 approximately 150,000 National Guardsmen inducted last Fall, 20,000 selectees inducted last November and December, and 10,000 Reserve officers. The releases will be made upon application in accordance with the following priorities: dependency and hardship, age of more than 28 on July 1, 1941, and marriage for those who have served 12 months. Men completing enlistments will also be released on request. AID TO BRITAIN, RUSSIA, CHIN A - The President announced aircraft ferry and transport services to West Africa and the middle eastern war zone to provide direct and speedy delivery to "a critical point in the front against aggression ..." The route will be so arranged that it will not pass through the zone of actual warfare, Mr. Roosevelt said. The President told his press conference Russian needs fall into two categories: (1) materials immediately available to help them in their summer campaign; (2) materials which will be available for the spring campaign next year. Russia will pay cash lend-lease aid, the President said, because the Soviets have the necessary cash for materials. The Public Health Service announced a 16-member U. S. medical ocmmission will go to China to direct health measures for 250,000 Chinese building the 1,700-mile road along the Burma Road. PRODUCTION - President Roosevelt told his press conference that on the average defense production is up to estimates and in some cases actually exceeds estimates. He said, however, he still is not satisfied with armament production. He said several hundred tanks manufactured this year have been sent to the British; the quota of 61 anti-aircraft guns monthly is being more that met; 160 37-mm. anti-tank guns will be delivered in August, 260 in September and 320 in October; 840 18-mm. mortars will be made in August. OPM Director Knudsen told a press conference the rate of defense progress is sufficient to provide adequate equipment for the Army within six or seven months. He predicted again the United States can out-produce any other nation, but said that the nation is still not showing the correct spirit. Production Under War Secretary Patterson, speaking at Syracuse, said the Army will not have to resort to broomsticks instead of weapons for training because "America is at last pushing toward peak production ... Tooling up will soon be over. Guns, tanks and planes are coming in daily increasing numbers." He cited production increases in the past six months: tanks, 800 per cent; other vehicles, 600 per cent; machine guns, 225 per cent; anti-aircraft guns, 400 per cent; smokeless powder, 400 per cent. CIVILIAN SUPPLY-OPM and the Office of Price Administration order auto production for the 1942 model year cut to 817,- 000 cars during the four months beginning August 1, compared with 1,560,000 during the four months ended July 31. General Motors, Chrysler and Ford were asked to make a 27.6 per cent cut from last year's levels; Studebaker, Hudson, Nash, Packard, Willys and Crosley, 20.2. OPM Associate Director Hillman said unemployment in the industry would be headed off by transfer of workers to defense plants and other defense industries and the conversion of auto production machinery to defense work along the same lines as similar moves in the silk industry. SHIPS-Maritime Commission Chairman Land, speaking in California, said the immediate goal in ship production is more than 1,200 merchant ships by the end of 1943 and the United States would be producing an average of two ships a day until then. The Navy launched the sixth submarine since January 1 and announced that during the first half of August two minesweepers, two torpedo boats and two district craft were launched and 18 keels laid. AGRICULTURE-Price Administrator Henderson set ceiling prices of burlap, used in the packaging of feed fertilizer and agricultural products, at approximately 20 per cent below recent New York quotations. OPM announced 35 to 40 new egg-drying plants will be built by private interests at a cost of from $80,000 to $100,000 each in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, New York, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Ohio, increasing capacity from 12,000,- 000 to more than 100,000,000 pounds annually to provide dried eggs to Great Britain. Similar projects are under consideration to expand milk drying, cheese and other concentrated food production for American and British requirements. CIVILIAN DEFENSE-Civilian Defense Director LaGuardia arranged for the first State-wide "blackout" to be held the night of September 12 in New Mexico. Twelve cities will be "bombed," fires will be started in vacant lots and other emergencies will be rehearsed. Mr. LaGuardia also announced a training program for 100,000 volunteer nurses' aides with the collaboration of the Red Cross and local hospitals. The Public Health Service called for 50,000 young women to begin professional training training this fall to meet a future shortage. At present, the Service said, there are 10,000 vacant positions for registered nurses in the nation's hospitals. CREDIT CONTROL-The Federal Reserve Board issued tentative regulations which it said will probably be placed in effect in September, to increase the required size of down payments on installment buying (they will be from 15 to 33 per cent) and to shorten to 18 months the time for payments on autos, airplanes, power boats, motorcycles, refrigerators, washing machines, stoves, air-conditioners, radio sets and similar household appliances. OIL-Deputy Petroleum Co-ordinator Davies reported on a 10-day supply of gasoline remained in the Atlantic states and Price Administrator Henderson ordered a 10 per cent cut in deliveries to filling stations in East coast states. Filling station operators were told to reduce deliveries to their customers "equitably," but to allow full supplies to commercial, public and health vehicles. DEFENSE CONTRACTING - The OPM announced changes in Army and Navy purchasing policies to spread unemployment in plants and communities threatened with shortages of materials because of priority action and to utilize more of the nation's productive capacities through sub-contracting. The Government can negotiate contracts at prices up to 15 per cent above current quotations, form-wide joint groups of small contractors, eliminate bids and performance bonds when necessary, inspect products at the plant to facilitate prompt payment and call for bids to be broken down into optional parts to permit smaller firms to bid.

Insignia for Grid Uniforms Is Advocated

ORLANDO (FNS)-Football players' uniforms will sport military insignia to denote the position played on the team, if coaches throughout the nation adopt a suggestion of Francis Whitehair, Deland member of the Selective Service Board of Appeals for the Fifth Congressional District. According to his suggestion, team captains will rate as captains, quarterbacks as lieutenants, the centerfield and linemen would rank sergeant, and so on. Whitehair believes such insignia would help make American youth more "defense conscious" and stimulate interest in national defense.

Ticket Sale For Boat Ride Closes Monday

Gableites wishing to send American and British Naval cadets of the University of Miami detachment as their guests on the annual Coral Gables American Legion boat ride next Friday evening, September 5th, were urged yesterday to secure tickets at the Legion Home before Monday evening by Chairman Charles I. Gobat of the committee in charge. "The S. S. Seven Seas has a limited capacity of 225 persons and more than half that number of tickets have already been taken up," Gobat stated, "therefore we must close the ticket sale several days in advance of the party in order to know how many cadets and their 'dates' can be invited." In addition to the large number of Gableites and Legionnaires who had already written their names on the backs of boat ride tickets and turned them in for distribution to their cadet guests, W. R. Robbins, Jr., J. H. Loverin, C. H. Butel, W. H. Morrow, Clyde S. Davis and Bert Shoemaker were added to the list of hosts yesterday.

Chain Stores Will Handle Defense Stamps

ORLANDO, (FNS).- Defense Savings Stamps will be placed on sale at all Florida chain stores starting September 13, according to an announcement by Chester B. Treadway, managing director of the Florida Chain Store Association. In addition to selling stamps, the stores will feature the sales and national defense needs in all advertising in newspapers and other mediums. How long the stamps will be on sale will depend largely upon the response the public gives, Treadway asserted, holding that the store managers were interested only in aiding the defense effort to the best of their ability.

New Books Worth Reading on Library Shelves

A list of the September books well worth reading has just been released by the Coral Gables Public Library staff. Among them is the following neat and cryptic squib accompanying: "My New Order," by Adolph Hitler. "Adolph Hitler, author of "My New Order," is in Central Europe at present, and "it is reported to be quite busy gathering material for forthcoming books. Their nature is not known, but it is widely hoped they will be posthumous. Hitler, whose style combines realism and fantasy, is a former landscapist." Also included are "No Life for a Lady," by Agnes Morley Cleaveland; "Looking for Trouble," by Virginia Cowles; "Marriage Is a Private Affair," by Judith Kelly; "The Amazing Summer," by Philip Gibbs; "School for Eternity," by Harry Hervey; "Last Man Around the World," by Stephen Longstreet; "Waters of the Wilderness," by Shirley Seifert; "Ladies Day," by Chard Powers Smith; "The Sun Is My Undoing," by Marguerite Steen and "The Blind Man's House," by Hugh Walpole.

Seagoing Canoe Honeymoon Craft

WAKULLA SPRINGS (FNS). -Somewhere along the thousand-mile length of Florida's gulf coastline, a small canoe is riding the waves, either driven by a gentle Gulf breeze or propelled by paddles in the hands of Jerry and Ray Wood, California "vagabonds," who are combining a honeymoon trip with a study of Florida's natural wonders on a year-long journey that will take them up the Inland Waterway to New York. They left the Springs after a five-weeks' sojourn here, five weeks that were intended at first to be only two days, and when last heard of were headed for the Swannee River, to try to find the nearly extinct "dancing cranes" which, reports hold, come to the water's edge daily to engage in tribal dances. The Woods spend little money, obtaining the bulk of their supplies through hunting and fishing. They intend spending the winter in the 'glades region studying birds there.
