Value

The value of telephone service increases as more telephone subscribers are added. During the past two years alone, a net gain of almost 290,000 telephones was made in the area served by Southern Bell. To make possible this unprecedented increase in telephones has required an expenditure of nearly one hundred million dollars and a net increase of more than 6,000 new employes, making a total of 28,000 men and women now employed by Southern Bell. Today, as never before in history, the telephone is indispensable to business and industry, a source of ever present comfort, convenience and security to the home, and vital to our national welfare in war and peace. The telephone has become a part of our modern way of life - indispensable - invaluable. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY INCORPORATED

Here's a group of members of the Ponce Golf Club hanging around their favorite spot, the sand trap on the first hole of the Ponce one hole golf course. Blasting out is Willoughby Cox, captain and No. 1 man. Looking on from left to right are: Fred Gahr, George Dacy, Bill Stephens, Bill Slater, Bill Pierce and Hal Carter.

Golf Team Gets Ready For Turf-Flying Warpath

Soon to be under way and making a name for itself in Ponce athletic channels for the victories it hopes to win, will be the Ponce golf team paced by Capt. Willoughby Cox who is also presiding officer of the Golf Club. The Golf Team has been a prominent member of the Ponce minor sports group since 1938 and is the only team in Dade County that has the good fortune of having its own private driving range and practice green. Last year the team lost considerably by graduation but should be able to more than make up for it this year. Graduates who will be missed from the ranks of the turf-excavators this season are Ken McCormick, now at Duke, and Capt. Eddie Kirkland and Crilpin Myers who are at the U. of Fla. For the past three years, the team has held second place in Southeast Florida High School Golf League. Captain and No. 1 man this year is Willoughby Cox who has been playing around the sand traps for the past 5 years but says it seems like "about 99". The lowest score "Sammy Snead" Cox has ever shot was 78 (not bad) at the Waynesville Country Club in the state that's a little bit north of South Carolina. Fred Gahr shot the lowest qualifying score for the team this year, an 84. Doug Gahr was also in there with a low one, an 88. The lucky six who will more than likely make up the team are Cox, Arnold Scott, Fred and Doug Gahr, Bill Pierce and Doug Griffin. Bill Hembree will act as this year's "caddy master".

The class is open to the public. New members recently added to the Club's roster are Mrs. Carl Lambert and Mrs. C. H., Motter.

Members are requested to purchase tickets for the Fiesta of Stars through Mrs. George M. Corrigan, Ways and Means Chairman. The Club's quota for this benefit is 80 tickets.

Marine Plant Study Explained To Kiwanians

Dr. Robert Williams, professor of biology at the University of Miami, was speaker at the Tuesday luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis Club at the Country Club of Coral Gables. Dr. Williams told of the work being done in research in marine biology here, with the idea of discovering the commercial possibilities that exist. Congressmen Pat Cannon and Dr. Wiley M. Sams were given their badges of membership by former lieutenant governor, James M. Hoffman.

'Hangover Clinic' Proves Popular

One of the most popular spots in town these afternoons is the "Hangover Clinic" at El Bolero, where "Docs" Red Lee and Bob Merrill minister to the headaches of those who celebrate too well the previous night. Charlie Bolero ,the host of El Bolero, conducted an extensive investigation of the various remedies available for the dispersion of the "mourning after" and a collection of the best aids are on tap to assist the customers back to normal. The fame of this spot and the unique service it renders has spread so far that frequently visitors from out of town will drop in for some of the magic potions that erase the effects of the night before.

LESSON-SERMON ANNOUNCED

Churches of Christ, Scientist "Soul" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon which will be read in Churches of Christ, Scientist, throughout the world on Sunday, February 15, 1942. The Golden Text is: "Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us; this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation" (Isaiah 25:9). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him" (Lam. 3:25). 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: "The proper use of the word soul can always be gained by substituting the word God, where the deific meaning is required. In other cases, use the word sense, and you will have the scientific signification. As used in Christian Science, Soul is properly the synonym of Spirit, or God; but out of Science, soul is identical with sense, with material sensation" (p. 482: 6-12).

Work of Morton R. Weiner Exhibited at Local Art Center

A new and comprehensive art exhibition is now on display at the Coral Gables WPA Art Center. It consists of paintings in three mediums (oil, watercolor, and oil on paper) by Morton R. Weiner, and they graphically depict the versatility of this artist. Morton R. Weiner has had practically all of his formal art education under staff teachers of the Florida Art Project, including W. Sherrod McCall, Evelyn C. Matthews, Andrew Sumter Kelley and Robert Del-son. Born September 8, 1915 in New York City, young Weiner began the study of art at DeWitt Clinton and Erasmus High Schools, where at the age of 18, he won honorable mention in John Wanamaker's drawing contest. He has made his living for the most part as a salesman, using sketches as sales promotion ideas. In 1938 Weiner began class study at Jacksonville Art Center, FLA., and began doing free lance commercial work while developing portrait style, studying typography design. For six months in 1940 he maintained a small commercial art studio in Jacksonville. Later that year he became a member of the staff of the Florida Art Project Design Laboratory. For six months Weiner was foreman incharge of that laboratory, and now of the Statewide Technical Services Laboratory, Florida Art Project. Still young in art and experience, Weiner shows much promise. His work is presented as creditable evidence of application and perseverence. It is hoped that this exhibition will encourage other young artists; and those who view this work of a young American will find some of the basic American Art, of which our President has said: "The people of this country know now-that art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another country, but a part of the present life of all the living and creating peoples-all who make and build; and, most of all, the young and vigorous peoples who have made and built our present wide country." Visiting hours to the Coral Gables WPA Art Center, 2102 Salzedo Street, are from 9:30 to 4:00 daily, and Saturdays from 9:30 to 1:30 p.m. Through effort cooperation of the Florida Art Project's units in the greater Miami area is now emanating from the Coral Gables WPA Art Center's staff. Work is being of this activity going on there such as signs and posters (including silk screening), lettering of medical chests; and informative posters being made for the Dade County Defense Council. The Art Center's staff is in the full swing of production.

Sample Gives First Aid Course To Girls, Teachers

Compulsory courses in first aid training for junior and senior girls and for teachers who desire it have been installed as part of the wartime training program at Ponce. The girls' courses are held during gym periods and are instructed by Mrs. Catharine Sample, head of the girls' physical education department. Training for the faculty will be given after school two days a week in two hour courses for five weeks. Every member of the Ponce faculty is participating in this training, in which all phases of first aid care will be taught. New girls at Ponce were entertained by the Girl Reserves at a tea in the gym from two o'clock to three last Thursday. Approximately $18 was cleared at the Cavallette Jook dance Saturday night at the gym. Thirty-five dollars were taken in at the door, but necessary expenses shaved the net figure down.
