Plans to organize a Fathers' Club were discussed at the Dads' Night P.-T. A. meeting held November 3 at the Gym. The meeting was conducted by the boys with Mr. Walter Foster as president and Principal H. N. Rath acting as secretary. Dr. Russell Willians was the speaker of the evening, delivering a talk on "Streamlining Character for Defense." Mr. Andrew G. Jackson, head of the manual training department, has made available a service to the school beyond his regular duties of teaching. The new trophy stands that have just been displaying were made by Mr. Jackson in the manual training department. When the grass rustles on the night of November 26, it won't be the gathering of pee wee-wee but the swish and sway of skirts at the National Honor Society's South Sea Island Ball, to be held in the gym. The cast for the senior play, "June Mad," has finally been selected. Frances Hilliard will play Penny Wood, the rowdy adolescent, who forgets her mischievious method nights and becomes fascinated by a college man. Members of the office practice class are busy addressing 10,000 envelopes for the Red Cross drive. The girls, Marguerite Bishop, Mary Branner, Charlotte Colby, Dorothy Joiner, Florence Joiner, Margaret McCartney, Betty Calmer, Dot Rice, Martha Shelly and Dot Wilson, are doing this work during their free class period. Barn dances, basketball games, Cavallette drilling, indoor football practice and now roller skating, are enjoyed in the gym. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Jack Gramley, the Roller Skating Club held their first meeting of the year in the gym last Thursday night.

On the advice of Principal

H. N. Rath, the Student Council carnival has been postponed to December 4 in order to make bigger and better booth at the booths and the gala dance. All organizations are urged to submit to the Council merits for concessions at the carnival in order that final plans may run more smoothly.

Despite circumstances which

which have almost caused the 4-H Club to be dropped from the list of Ponce organizations, it has been reorganized under the sponsorship of Miss Delavan, State 4-H Club sponsor. Miss Delaney will come to Ponce each week to supervise the meeting of the nine persistent young women. Ten members are required for all Ponce clubs. Chosen to lead the group for the semester were Carolyn Jackson, president; Vivian Flowers, vice-president; Rose Marie Jordan, secretary; Betty Wheidon, treasurer; Mamie Parker, student council representative; Francis Wolcott, song leader. As the main project of the semester the students of Miss Catherine Megreblen's civics classes will give reports dealing with various topics of American government.

Turpentine Is Important State Product

In colonial times, naval stores was the "pitch, tar, and rosin" for the wooden ship industry. Now its use for boat building is almost negligible and turpentine and rosin, still called naval stores go into the manufacture of soaps, polishes, paints, lacquers, inks, linoleum, roofing, plastics pharmaceuticals, and a large amount into paper size, which coats the paper to permit printing. The old method of "boxing" the trees has given way to the installing of cups and gutters with a greater volume produced in higher quality. Other improvements in this age-old operation are taking place, but substitutes have taken away some of the markets. Research workers being carried on by the chemists to keep this important southern industry thriving. In Florida over 7,000,000 acres of pine forests are used annually to produce 7,000,000 gallons of turpentine and 220,000 barrels of rosin. Seven and three-quarter million dollars were realized from the 1938 operations in which 15,000 wage earners were employed. After the trees are "worked out" for turpentine, they are available for pulpwood, sawlogs, crossties, veneer, and poles. The progress of the turpentine business, as well as its many allied branches, is probably best evidenced in the modern transportation methods now employed. From crude ox-carts, jogging through the dense pine woods, hauling one or two casks to a load, to large trucks and caterpillar tractors and trailers, delivering from forty to fifty barrels at a time to the still, is an important part of the industry's evolution. Shiploads of the finished product may be seen departing from Florida seaports for points in the United States and foreign ports. Both rosin and turpentine are are also produced by destructive and steam distillation of fat pine stump wood, employing more thousands of men and returning more millions of dollars to Florida.

Participants in the pageant of the Dade County Chapter of the American Red Cross, presented in Bayfront Park Tuesday night, members of the Ponce Samaritan Club, shown here working on plans, are, left to right, around the table, Nancy Smith, Mary Culpepper, Beverly Owens, Gretchen Bishop, Kathryn Peek and Betty Evans.

Payments on Death Claims $3,187,000

Payments to Florida families on life insurance policies which became death claims amounted to $3,187,000 during the third quarter of this year, this sum going to the widows, children and other beneficiaries of 4,003 policies, the Institute of Life Insurance announced today. This brings the aggregate of death claim benefits in this state to $10,554,000 for the first nine months of 1941, representing payments on 9,811 policies. Of the death claim payments made in this state during the past three month period, $2,614,000 was paid out on ordinary policies, $194,000 on group policies and $379,000 on industrial policies. "A large percentage of these death claims is being settled in the form of a continuing income to the family of the policyholder instead of by a lump sum payment. Safeguarding the principal amount from possible loss through unwise investment, this provides a regular flow of payments to dependents to replace the 'paycheck' of the bread-winner," Holgar J. Johnson, president of the Institute, stated in making public the figures. For the nation as a whole, $253,892,000 in death claims were paid off as death claims during the past three months, benefits aggregating $243,621,000. For the nine-month period, benefit payments were made under death claims on 818,255 policies for a total of $751,490,000. In addition, living policyholders received a total of $1,146,489,000 during the nine months in the form of matured endowments, disability payments, annuity payments, surrender values and dividends to policyholders.

WOMEN MAKE PLANES

Because of the war, women are playing an increasingly important role in the aircraft industry. The trend was first noted in Great Britain, where male workers were being enrolled in the military forces. Women began taking over their jobs and now, it is reported, some plane factories in England have as high as 40 per cent women employees. Women are also employed in large numbers in United States aircraft plants. They are adapted, particularly, to precision work, which, factory officials say, they perform better than men. Some factories have devised special lightweight equipment which women can easily operate.

U-TALK By BARBARA BROWNE

Bonfires, fraternity and sorority open-houses, dances, football games, and parades! What a homecoming week-end this is going to be! Starting at 4 p. m. Friday, there won't be a minute to breathe until after the dances Saturday night. Thelma Cox, Zeta Tau Alpha, is to be ruler of all festivities as Queen of 1941 Homecoming. At last the cat is out of the bag, and everyone knows who the queen will be. Her Majesty will be one of the sponsors at the game and will award the trophies at the M. Club Dance for the best decorated sorority and fraternity houses. All groups will have their decorations ready for open-houses Friday night. Of course, the most important event, the one that pops up in any campus conversation is the Miami-Florida game. Students differ as to the final score, but they all agree on one point—Miami will win; For those individuals who have enough courage to bet on Florida, here is a helpful hint: There are now three crocodiles in the patio pool. Freshman Elections Gradually the freshmen are electing their officers. Mike O'Brien and Jimmy Richardson have been elected president and vice-president, but the other officers will not be chosen until next Tuesday. Candidates for each office are: secretary, Barbara Price and Madlyn Anderson; treasurer, John Lowe, Chad Stafford and Louise Maroon; senators, La Verne Hunniecke, John Lowe, Ronnie Duncan, Karl Hoff, George Bernstein, James Dunn, Virginia Meyer, and Ruth Wolkowsky. Gables students are already beginning to make names for themselves in other colleges. Mary Carter has been elected Colleges". Seniors who were selected are Alvalyn Boege. Annella Blanton, Selma Bronston, Caroline Dodd, Margaret Wyant, Herbert Blinn, Ira Van Bullock, H. Eugene Eley, James Hamilton, Thompson Kent, Charles Lovett, Frazier Payton, William Peyraud, and John Quimby. Juniors who were chosen are Ruth Jane Craver, Naomi Grossman, Helen Gwinn, Stewart La Motte, Earl Reinhart and Harry Rinehart. Cold weather has been a boon to the girls who have been waiting to try out their warm clothing. Sue Ogden looked as bright as a red stick of candy in a hand-knitted scarlet sweater. Anne Butler declared she was "warm as toast" in her cinnamon corduroy dress with gold trim. Betty Batcheller sticks to the traditional cardigan, buttoned up the back and with sleeves pushed above her elbows. Jane Mack has started something new, in the way of a modern dance club. The modern dance, in a sense, can be compared to the contemporary art form. Jane studied the subject for three years in Washington, D. C., her home, and now thinks it would be fun to start a group at the U. Confidentially, the stadium is going to be packed Saturday night because everyone in Greater Miami is going to be there to see Miami beat Florida.

Collins Hay, BROWN University in Providence, R. I., will soon receive an award for winning the International Civitan Contest. Edith Batcheller, while home this week for fall holidays, proudly announced that she played on the soccer team at Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia. Who's Who Back to the Miami campus, we find that twenty students have been selected to have their biographies printed in the "Who's Who Among Students In American Universities and

FLOATING DENTAL OFFICES PROVIDED BY NAVY FOR UNCLE SAM'S SAILORS

THE NAVY DENTAL OFFICER pictured above is working on the teeth of an enlisted man in the ship's dental office aboard the U.S.S. Salt Lake City, 10,000-ton cruiser. Included among the fifty-odd trade and vocational training courses open to recruits in the U. S. Navy or Naval Reserve who pass the required examination is dental technician schooling. This course, like all Navy trade and vocational courses, is free and provides an excellent groundwork for a future career in later civilian life. All recruits receive their regular Navy pay during the period they are at a Navy trade school. This training is valued at hundreds of dollars.

"Advertise? I no need to advertise! I sell da apple without your "advertise." I tink datsa foolish!"

TRY SOME OF THESE FINE APPLES 3 for 10c TALK ABOUT ADVERTISING to Tony and he'll say, "I no advertise!" But, of course, you know that he's doing just that, perhaps in another way. He does it when he puts up that sign... when he paints his cart a bright red and blue so that it can be easily identified, so that it looks gay... when he stops at a busy corner, because Tony knows that he can sell more apples when more people see his apples... when he shouts "Apples!" as he pushes his cart along. TONY HAS LEARNED the first principle of successful selling: bring your wares before the eyes of great numbers of people and you can sell profitably. But not everyone in Coral Gables is a Tony, and few business men specialize in apples. Moreover, Tony is satisfied with the number of apples he sells. A progressive merchant would never stop there. Tony is advertising—yes, but in a feeble, limited sort of way. If you are not like Tony—if you are not satisfied with the number of "apples" you are selling, and you want to sell more—you'll advertise in a newspaper that has a loyal local following, one that is read by the people who are able to buy your "apples." In Coral Gables that paper is The Riviera. Advertise Where You Get the Best Results THE CORAL GABLES RIVIERA READ BY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BUY
