Orson Welles Remarkable Man, Says Local Sound Technician
By MILTON M. CHAPMAN Managing Director, Miami Biltmore Hotel Orson Welles, that amazing person who can write, direct, act, produce and do a multitude of other things in the world of entertainment, is not overrated, according to Jim O'Leary, who handles our lighting and sound systems here at the Miami Biltmore. Welles was in Miami recently, enroute to South America, where the sound for his latest picture was recorded at Fleischer Studios. O'Leary worked on the project with Welles, and maintains the actor is just as capable as he is reputed to be. The picture, Booth Tarkington's "The Magnificent Ambersons", was brought to Miami to be cut and fitted with sound. O'Leary handled the microphones so that Welles could go through his dialogues. The actor knew just where he wanted the five "mikes" that were used in the project, says O'Leary, and he walked around them as he read his dialogue, injecting the proper inflection at each point and walking away from the "mike" when it was to have the effect of his leaving the room. "There was no moving the 'mikes' about," says O'Leary, "because Welles knew just where he wanted them in the first place, they were set up once and that was all there was to it. O'Leary claims that persons unfamiliar with sound systems probably would not realize what a difficult task it is to make such a set-up. But Welles knew the intricacies of the system, and had no trouble. Much publicity has been attached to the recent visit here of Larry Allen, Associated Press war correspondent who is on furlough from his assignment with the British fleet. The most recent incident in connection with his stay with us, however, is unique to the extreme. The other evening at dinner, Larry recognized a man whom he had not seen for some months. The man proved to be Lieut.-Comndr. Charles Evans, D.S.C., of the British Navy, who is now located at Opa-Locka here in Florida. Evans was one of the flight commanders on the British plane carrier, Illustrious, where Allen was located when it underwent a four-hour dive-bombing attack from Nazi planes. Each was equally surprised at meeting the other in the Giralda Room of the Miami Biltmore.

T-TALK By BARBARA BROWNE
"Get your man, girls!" is the ery as the time draws for the Y. W. C. A. Spinster's Stomp, a dance which will give all lonely hearts a chance. On the custom of "boy dates girl" will be reversed tonight. Girls will invite boys, give them corsages of vegetables or cigarettes, provide for the transportation and pay for refreshments. Girls will also drive the men (a should say stagette) line. Wise co-eds figure that if they are going to get their man, now's the time to do it, even if they have to tie them up. What a night this will be! Nine Girls Pledge Sorority lassies relax after the hectic festivities of rush week and pause to review the results. The official pledge list reveals that nine girls pledged sororities. They are Janet Brown, Chi Omega; Joan Smiley, Eleanor Fuller and Doris Brengel, Sigma Kappa; Arlene Lipson, Delta Phi Epsilon; Eleanor Baggers, Sari Jane Blinn, Ann Wedderspoon and Ethel Dimmig, Kappa Kappa Gamma. Jim Hamilton has had a perpetual beaming smile on his face this week because he, as Eminent Commander of Pi Chi, has been informed that his fraternity has been accepted as the 9th chapter of Sigma Chi. Pi Chi was the first local fraternity on the Miami campus. It is rumored that Glenn Miller will play "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" on his program soon in honor of the occasion. P.A.E. Win Spelling Bee For the second consecutive year, the Independents won the Delta Phi Epsilon spelling bee. This year Mae Edwards corrected spelled "recherche" to win the gold loving cup presented by President Shirley Haimes Saturday. Dottie Cook was the Independent who won last year. Claud Corrigan, Lambda Chi Alpha, spelled "barbelow" correctly after seven had missed it to win second place in the contest. Chi Omega sorority, represented by Janet Silverglade and Frances Heether, held the lead in the ping-pong tournament after one week of play. The girls won both their singles matches, Silverglade beating Bea Litt, Alpha Epsilon Phi, and Heether defeating Betti Ann Westendahl, Kappa Kappa Gamma. Then, pooling their efforts for the doubles game, defeated Delta Epsilon Phi and Betti Ann Westerdahl, who played for Kappa Kappa Gamma. Close on the heels of the Chi O's are the Independents, represented by Maryey Goldfarb and Sally Mitchell.

Visitors Assured Of Enough Gas To Reach Homes
TALLAHASSEE (FNS).-Although disclaiming any knowledge of plans for rationing gasoline, Florida's rationing administrator said this week that if it is done motorists would be able to get sufficient gasoline to take them to their homes wherever they are. Governor Spessard L. Holland said the statement issued by Walter C. Sherman "will be reassuring to many people from other states who are now in Florida with their automobiles." Sherman said: "We have no knowledge of any plans for rationing of gasoline; however, if submarine warfare to destroy our tankers, it may be necessary that some rationing program be inaugurated. "Nevertheless, in the event a rationing program is put into effect, to gasoline, provision will surely be made whereby people will be able to procure the necessary fuel for their automobiles to return to their places of residence from wherever they may be located at the time such rationing becomes effective. "Not only so, but in the event of such rationing being established, sufficient notice would be given in advance to enable everyone to reach their homes," Sherman said.
CALLING DRAFTED MOTHERS
By ERAINE TURIN Editor's Note: Mrs. Turin is a Coral Gables resident and mother of a draftee. She is an accomplished writer and playwright, and recently conducted a radio program for the mothers of boys in the service. Every patriotic task which you perform, drafted mothers of our nation, is motivated by a sincerity of purpose; and that sincerity is badly wanting in the majority who have no heart-interest in the armed forces. For today our nation is coming unfor- tunately near to organizing in- fluences of an anti-social selfishness. I say "unforgiv- able" because such selfishness is not conduc- ive to the uni- ty, the loyalty, the national spirit, which are the funda- mentals to assist your soldier sons in winning a war as total as this one has come to be. Too many individuals embrace war activities with the wrong intent: to promote themselves, or to find escape for the so-called dullness of life's routines. Yet in either case, selfishness takes titular position--and even today, when our very democra- cy is being endangered-when the losing battles in the Pacific are increasing, not decreasing-- when the submarine menace in the Atlantic is nearing catastro- phic proportions--when the "present aim of the War De- partment is an army of three and a half million men" (as Se- cretary Stimson put it) and "es- timates of ultimate aims are as- tronomical"--and when there is serious talk of a universal draft, civilians as well as military. Even under those conditions which--one would believe--should efface every selfish intent, yet selfishness dominates too many persons. And that is the rea- son why you, drafted mothers of our nation, who are not so dominated--because your hearts are with those in uniform-- should be able to lend your aid in bringing about a greater unity among us--and at a time when the lack of that unity can prove our undoing. Moreover, this lack of unity--inspired by that unforgivable selfishness-- is not only common among those who participate in the political and economic end of our war program, but also among many women who engage in the va- rious defense activities expected of them in time of war. As to this selfishness in women, let me give you some statements from a recent address, delivered by Mr. John L. Whitehurst of Baltimore, President of the Gen- eral Federation of Women's Clubs. "I have never known the wo- men," she said, "to quarrel so bitterly for places of leadership as they are doing in the war program ... "Selfishness is dominating our people today ... "The majority want to be gen- erals, but few want to work without honor of some kind. They ask repeatedly, 'Who is to be the boss?', 'Shall I have the division?' 'May I wear a uni- form?'" In direct contrast, I am re- minded of her an unassuming drafted mother, who is occupied three days a week by earning her small living. The remaining days she spends at the Red Cross, and has turned out a remarkable amount of work. In addition, she has many garments made western to her credit-- she does her knitting in the ev- enings. Yet few know of her untiring efforts, given in the on- ly manner she knows how to serve her country--aside from offering a son to that country. Unforgivable! --she has no so- cial position and therefore, no public acclaim. But she prefers no honors. Her aim is single: to be of service to the men in uni- form. Drafted mothers of our na- tion, no greater service can any- one render his country than that; to put forth every effort to "send of your sons, upon whom the burden of our ultimate victory depends. Not by selfish intent, but by sincerity of pur- pose, is that unity created which will give the support those soldier sons require. (Copyright, 1942)
