Bennie the Barber Will Travel No More
Bennie Oldham, proprietor of the Varsity Barber Shop in the Post Office building, traveled all over the United States looking for an ideal location for his permanent residence, and when he reached Coral Gables, he said to his wife, "Alabama" which in the Indian language means, "Here we rest". Mr. Oldham was born in Athens, Georgia, where he spent his boyhood. As a young man he went to Akron, Ohio, and it was in that city that he decided to become a barber. He learned his trade under some of the most skilful practitioners of the art so that when he decided to look around the country, he never failed to find employment in any state or city in which he happened to find himself. In California, Mr. Oldham purchased a successful Barber and Beauty Shop which he operated until the wanderlust got the better of him again, whereupon he sold out and took a long vacation for the purpose of seeking a suitable city for his permanent location. After extended travel which included all of the state of Florida, Mr. Oldham came to Coral Gables quite by accident and made up his mind instantly that he would go no farther. That was in January, 1937, and in May, 1938, finding a vacancy in the Post Office building, he leased the premises and has been there since that time. Mr. Oldham owns his own home, is a civic-minded citizen, and says he is greatly contented since casting lot in the Gables.

Hi-TALK
By BARBARA BROWNE Give—whether it be money for defense stamps or blood for the blood bank. This has been the spirit lately at the University. Students answered the call willingly when the Dade County blood bank asked for volunteers to donate blood to replace plasma diminished by an emergency. And for those who felt that they couldn't spare their blood, also didn't spare their pocketbooks—they bought defense stamps. The students have an even higher regard now for the English cadets for some of them have been buying stamps even though they may never have any use for them. Spinster's Stomp Starts Something Both "spinters" and "wolves" had such a good time last Friday night at the Spinster's Stomp that rumors are flying about making all dances both boy and girl break affairs so that both boys and girls can go stag or stagette. In Veryn Hunnuncke thinks it will probably be an emergency measure because so many young eligibles are going into the service so soon. Tommy Moore was elected the spinster's favorite "wolf". Members of Phi Beta Sigma, honorary biological society, are planning another of their much talked of field trips. The first trip will be conducted by Dr. F. G. Walton Smith, professor of zoology, and Frank Vernteg, county naturalist, who will instruct the students while they are exploring Biscayne Key. Moving pictures were recently taken of the group in their "under-water Classroom" while they were diving at Rainbow Springs. Seven active members were recently taken into the club; they are: Dorothy Bergs, Jack Barrett, Martin Greenberg, Martha Gifford, Marian Parker, Bernard Sigel and Ralph Varney. New associate members are: Seymour Auerbach, Cornelia Brower, Peggy Bowland, Dan Cassell, William Davis, May Edwards, Hirsch Margery Kahn, Marianne Land, Robert Rosenstein, Jack Richmond, Rosemary Russell, William Schiff and Alec Wallace. Radio Club Plans New Series In addition to their series of safety plays, the Radio Club members are discussing plans for the presentation of a "Great Plays" series over station WKAT. Three new active members who have been added to the group are Martin Smith, Bob Rhyon and Marshall Simmons. Associate members,who have been accepted by the group are Natalie Fallon, Joyce Harris, Sally Batcheller, Fred Maetke, Lawrence Sakin, Anita Hyde, Fred Miller and George Peter Weiss. Members of sororities have been busy this last week selecting their new officers. Girls elected to lead the Chi Omega Sorority are: Channing Smith, president; Suzanne Watters, vice president; Martha McCready, secretary; Mary Walsh Gillam, treasurer; and Mimi Markette, pledge advisor. Zeta Tau Alpha officers will be: president, Marguerita Smith; vice president, Louise Albritton; secretary, Evalyn Daniel; treasurer, Eleanor Arthur. Sigma Kappa leaders will be: Jacque Watson, president; Anne Sargent, vice president; Ruth Jane Craver, treasurer; and Charlotte Walter, secretary. Only three officers have been chosen so far for Kappa Kappa Gamma. They are Betty Hatch, president; Lois Estelle Pelgrim, standards chairman; and Jane Rankin, marshall.
Topic Chosen
Wednesday evening topic for the second in a Lenten series at 7:45 at the Congregational Church will be "Your Religion as the Voice of the Priest".
Police Have Little Work At Blanding
Camp Blanding, Fla.—The Provost Marshal's office at Camp Blanding runs just like any civilian office—even during war time—with the exception of the necessary military restrictions and with the exception, too, that very few of the Camp's personnel ever break the law. Maj. W. A. Miller, Provost Marshall, has been on duty in many a camp and he says Blanding is close to perfection in the matter of law-obedience. Duties of the Military Police, of course, are primarily keeping law and order and watching over the safety of portions of the Camp but the organization also serves as a bureau of missing persons, a lost and found department, permit section, information office, license bureau and dog pound. It also operates the Camp's "navy", a cruiser on Kingsley Lake, which patrols bathing areas and performs rescues and searches when necessary.
Legion (Continued from Page 1)
curing new members for the post. (See box) Last night the Dade County Commanders Council of the American Legion met at the local post home. County Commander Fred S. Huttig of the South Miami Post presided. Commanders and past commanders from all Legion posts in Dade County were present. Chairman A. B. Lambert of the Disaster Relief, National Defense Committee for the 5th District of the Florida Department of which Dade County is a part, stated that the Coral Gables Reserve Police company which was organized by the Legion post here at the request of the City Commission has been found by defense officials to be a most valuable addition to the defense set-up and it has been recommended that similar organizations be formed by other posts in this district. The Reserve Police company of Coral Gables now numbers 80 men all members of the local Legion post and is commanded by Commander Winegar, who will head the organization for the duration of the war.
