Coral Gables Riviera

TALK By BARBARA BROWNE

"Halt! Friend or foe?" Well, maybe those weren't the exact words but that was the general idea of the guards who stopped each student Tuesday morning for identification before letting him pass to his class. The guards were posted at every entrance to the building. It seems as if their guns and "stop or I'll shoot" expressions are to safe-guard the defense materials being used by the cadets at the school. Girls Help At Red Cross Japan's declaration of war had another effect on university students. Lots of the girls have decided to help by working at the Red Cross. When classes were canceled Monday so that officials could plan the defense of the school, Louise Miller and Lillian Aldredge decided to roll bandages. Louise explained, "We figured that defense gave us the holiday so why not spend it helping defense?" Why not, indeed. Mary Kremmin and Bill Upshaw say that they are going to start working soon, too. Practice For Christmas Songs War has almost overshadowed the coming of Christmas this year, but not quite. Almost everyone is practicing for the Coral Gables Christmas Festival so that strains of "The First Noel" and "Deck the Halls" can be heard coming from sorority houses and odd corners of the U. Talk about Christmas tea dances and formals is everywhere. Maisie wonders if Bill will ask her to the Christmas Eve Dance so that she can wear her black strapless gown, and Bill wonders if Maisie will wear her hair that funny way again if he asks her to the dance. So, by tidbits we are almost sure that Christmas is on its way. What A Game What a game! What a season! What a team! That field goal that gave Miami the needed three points for victory over V. M. I. Friday night was the final touch to the best football season in Hurricane history. There were only sixty-two seconds left to play, but it was enough time for Pat Petroski to boot that ball right between the posts to make the score 10-7 in favor of Miami. Everyone cheered and laughed for pure joy. It was a happy group that danced at the M Club dance afterwards. Madlyn Anderson was dancing with Buster Bennett, while Betty Batcheller was celebrating with Karnes Lipscomb. Mary Jane Westerdahl, Poncette, was there with Paul Flemming. It was a wonderful night! Cheerio To R. A. F. With "Cheerio!" and "Thanks for a jolly good time", 152 R. A. F. cadets said good-bye to Miami and scores of unhappy girls. A few of the saddest were Elizabeth Stone, Natalie Allen, and Betty Phillips. Contrary to general belief, the cadets made friends easily with the American girls. It seemed that the cadets liked to hear slang, and the girls liked to hear English accents so that they all got along very well. One cadet grinned when asked what slang had seemed the funniest to him and said, "Well, it was a bit of a while before I learned the meaning of 'Handing me a line'." Another told the tale of a Britisher learning slang who got excited one day and said, "Let them have the factory" for "Give 'em the works." The 152 cadets have gone, but don't cry, girls; there will soon be 152 more to take their places.

derstood that Coral Gables was well represented by application for service in the army, navy and marines. DRAFT BOARD BUSY Officials at Draft Board 7, located in the Coral Gables police department, reported that they have been swamped with calls concerning re-classification, but that as yet they have received no notice of proposed changes and are following the regular routine. They stated that changes, as soon as they are learned, will be reported immediately to The Riviera. Frank N. Holley, president of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce, assured complete cooperation of local businessfolk in the war effort in a telegram to Albert W. Hawkes, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce: "We businessmen and women of Coral Gables assure you of 100 per cent cooperation in America's all-out effort against the Axis powers. Coral Gables has practically no manufacturing but every citizen is ready to do his or her part to assure final victory against the powers now menacing the security of the World," his message stated.

Soldiers Get Clothes Quicker Under New Army Exchange Plan

Atlanta, Ga.—A soldier's trousers may wear out from too much sitting on the seat of a galloping jeep, but he won't have to wait long for a new pair under a plan announced today by Brigadier General James L. Frink, Fourth Corps Area Quartermaster. The new system puts replacement of clothing and equipage on an exchange basis. This plan, already in operation as far as motor parts and general repair work on the army's vehicles are concerned, does away with the red tape of requisitions by replacing worn-out goods with new ones in a simple exchange. Under the old system, if a soldier's trousers wore out, he had to report that he needed new ones to his company commander who in turn took the matter up with the supply officer of his unit through a great deal of paper work in requisitions, correspondence and the like. Under the new set-up, the soldier turns his worn-out trousers in to his company commander who in turn takes them, in a bundle with other clothing, to the supply officer of his unit. The supply officer then turns them in to the classification officer in the office of the post Quartermaster. Immediately after the trousers are turned over to the classification officer, the post Quartermaster property officer issues new clothing for all the worn-out ones turned in. These are, in turn, reissued to the individual soldiers. Not only does this new plan save both the enlisted man and the officer's time, but in the case of organized equipment, such as office furniture, office machines, tents, certain items of specialized clothing, and the like, a great deal of money is saved through the repairing of article is cellular. For example, two worn-out tents may have enough good sections to make one good shelter. The same is true of office furniture, machinery, and in some instances even clothing. The classification officer of the post Quartermaster's officer decides whether the articles turned in under the new system can be repaired or whether their only practical destination is salvage. Issuance of replacement parts for the army's vehicles in the Fourth Corps Area is done by ten Motor Maintenance Districts strategically placed throughout the eight states comprising the Corps Area. Replacement parts are issued on the same exchange basis—a spark plug for a spark plug, a piston for a piston ring. All of the parts turned in to the Motor Maintenance Districts are repaired, if repairable, or are sold as scrap. The repaired parts are placed in bins for reissue.
