Home Economics Classes Learn To Prepare Food Trays For Sick

These Ponce de Leon High School students led their units in the home economics study of caring for the sick. They are, left to right: Betty Ann Harding, Peggy McGrew, Alice Flagg and Nancy Smith. Because of the shortage of nurses, home economics girls have learned how to care for the sick in the home as part of their homemaking course. Mrs. A. D. Barnes, trained nurse and graduate of Jacksonville Memorial Hospital, lectured on the care of the sick to Home Economics classes, March sixth and thirteenth. Mrs. Barnes demonstrated temperature taking, bathing and moving of the patient, bed making and care of the sick room. Supplementing study, units of four of the cooking classes under the direction of Mrs. Virginia L. Gleason, planned and prepared invalid trays following the proper diet for the ill. Preparers of the best trays pictured above were selected by Mrs. Freda O'Neil, sewing teacher and Mrs. Hallie White, librarian. Judging was based upon attractiveness, neatness and nutritional value. Girls representing the winning units were Betty Ann Harding, Peggy McGrew, Alice Flagg and Nancy Smith.

Wilcox Not Running

Despite the urging of friends and followers, Mark Wilcox of Coral Gables decided against entering the race for Congress from the Fourth District against Pat Cannon. B. F. Paty, however, has declared himself as a contender, which should make it a real race. Other entries are Edgar G. Hamilton and Lewis Sevier.

Have You Paid Your SUBSCRIPTION?

With paper placed on the government priorities list and reduction in quotas likely the next step, it is essential that weekly newspapers be placed as near as possible on a paid up or in advance basis. Then there is also the business side of rising costs and higher prices for such paper as we are able to buy. HERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING U. S. Government Biggest Paper Buyer In U. S. Today WASHINGTON. — (Special)—As you might guess. Uncle Sam has become the biggest paper buyer in history. National defense orders get first preference. Good paper-manufacturing wood is scarce and getting next. The total tonnage is almost unbelievable. It is said that a million pounds of waterproof kraft paper was requisitioned to prepare supplies for the forces overseas and in Iceland. Difficulty in getting cardboard was explained by the fact that the government placed an order for 252 carloads for target purposes alone. Every soldier, upon induction, was said to require a million paper milk bottles. Publishers Vote To Conserve Paper Conservation of newsprint is a national defense project because one of the prime requisites in its trajectory. Paper campaign following a meeting of publishers and press association representatives in New York. The publishers voted to "make every reasonable effort to conserve newsprint." At Only $2.00 for a Time Longer We are still taking yearly subscriptions at the low price of $2.00 for a time longer, so it will be a saving for all who can do so to renew at this time, and to pay up any back subscription they may owe. We want to have our list in such shape that when quotas are set our list will be found to be mostly not more than six months in arrears. Right now we are giving a special until April 10, during which $5 will pay for three years. This will give those in arrears a chance to get caught up and some credit in advance. Many Statements Mailed Out Several hundred statements were mailed out during the week to our subscribers who are in arrears, and we trust that with the special offer of 3 years for $5 they will take advantage of this money-saving offer. Remember before the year is out the subscription price will likely be $2.50 a year, and payable in advance if the government cuts the paper quota strongly. A DOLLAR SAVED IS A DOLLAR EARNED A Dollar Saved is a Dollar Earned is an old but true s[?]ing. Many a man has been started on the road to independence by taking advantage of savings. Paper prices are advancing almost daily. So low have stocks become that many customers are unable to get orders filled and have to wait because government orders come first. In Wisconsin the issuing of so important a thing as drivers' licenses had to be delayed until October even though the orders were placed in July, because of a paper shortage. WE OFFER A DOUBLE SAVING Not only are we offering subscribers the opportunity of paying ahead for their paper at the low price of $2.00 a year, but those who are in arrears are given the money-saving chance of getting 3 years' credit for $5.00 It is well to be paid ahead as the price may go to $2.50 by April 10. DON'T DELAY—SAVE TODAY Now is the time to save money while this money-saving special is in effect. Don't delay a day longer than you have to, but come in today, or else mail the money.

New Manager For Gas Station

D. A. Wilkins, Jr., has been made manager of the service station which was recently established at Bird Road and Ponce de Leon Boulevard. The station, which is known as "D. A. Wilkins' Shell Service Station," is owned by the father of the manager, and although he is one of the youngest operators of a large service station in the area, he is conducting the business successfully. Mr. Wilkins attended the Andrew Jackson High School in Miami and later went to school in Louisville, Ky. He believes the section of Coral Gables, in the neighborhood of which he is located, will develop rapidly, and says one of the best ways for the city to forge ahead is for all to pull together for the common good.

Eight races of 80 laps, comprising a 25-lap feature, two semi-finals, a consolation and a public choice match have been scheduled.

Public Likes New Grass

W. R. Somers, manager of the Florida office of F. H. Woodruff & Sons, Inc., said Thursday that he and his company are greatly pleased with the response they are getting from other sections of Florida, and from practically all of the southern states regarding the new grass which they have introduced for southern lawns. C. W. Baker, head of the grass seeds division, with headquarters in Milford, Conn., who visited Coral Gables several months ago in the interest of the company, has also been getting favorable comment from this innovation, which is so rapidly becoming popular with all who desire perfect lawns. The company, after extensive research and study of Florida grasses, found an ideal grass for Southern lawns which they have placed on the market under the trade name of "Flawn," which is a combination of two words, Florida and lawn.

'Escape to Sun' Vies for Season's Best by Fifteen

Talent scouts note: There's a bet not to be missed in the Theatre of the Fifteen production of "Escape to the Sun," this week in the person of young Sally Lou Berger, as fetching a four-year-old minx as we've ever seen. The lisp of infancy still on her tongue, Sally takes charge of her role of precocious little baggage, whose sophistication is positively staggering, with the aplomb of a veteran, and with not a trace of the revolting exhibitionism that characterizes all too many of Hollywood's child wonders. Sally doesn't act; she is Maureen, lovable little brat whose precocity frightens her father and constantly unnerves except for worldly-wise mother. If Sally knows there's an audience watching her, she gives no sign of it, but is completely absorbed in itself, for the first-night audience, with laughter and applause, gave Sally to understand that they were not only present, but difinitely captivated. Let it be understood that, although the youngster came in for one of the most impressive performances we've ever seen, there is no question of "stealing the show," for, from the first scene right to the last brittle word, Mary Green takes over, and holds, the corner of the stage. As Penelope Lynn, slightly fruity authoress whose four children each claim a different daddy, Miss Green is at her best, and makes the most of the pungent, sparkling lines given to her care. The story is the story of Penelope, author of trashy sex novels, who has had four husbands, four children, and hasn't an inhibition to her name. Returning to American after years on the continent, Penelope brings her four children and her young Irish husband to her sister's ranch in California, whereat the second husband, played by Frank Rollinger, and the sister's recreant husband, Martin, portrayed by Barbara Parmley, promptly fall in love. Penelope has just convinced herself that her heart is broken, when her first husband (James Crow), who publishes her books, understands her thoroughly, but wouldn't marry her again for any money, shows her that she doesn't really give a tinker's dam who her husband runs off with. It is the first husband who also, by starting his own and Penelope's 18-year-old daughter off on a stage career, and pushing the 16.year-old son by Penelope's second husband toward a movie contract, persudes his ex-wife to leave off production of moneymaking trash and to turn again to her first dream of writing serious literature. Elisabeh Cope, as Penelope's sister; Frank Rollinger, as Chris Galleon, husband, No. 4, and James Crow as well as Miss Parmley, are excellent in supporting roles. Not to be overlooked is young Andre Ricou, who wins the sympathy of the audience quite easily in his bit part of Penelope's son by her third husband, and Dorothy Beyer, teat as Mexican maid, Brad Gee, as the musical daughter, and Julio d'Aneguerre, movie-struck son, turn in creditable performances. "Escape to the Sun" is, in the opinion of this reviewer, one of the best productions offered by the Fifteen this season, giving way only to their presentation of "The Man Who Came to Dinner." It is modern, sophisticated comedy at its best, and is made believable by the excellent performances of the cast.

Gableites Pay Tribute To Merrick

Continued from Page One Coral Gables may truly mourn his passing." John V. Hardeman, president, Optimist Club: "We've lost one of our finest citizens. The Gables and Greater Miami have a lot to be thankful for in having had a man of his foresight. He merits a great deal of respect and admiration." Don Peabody, member of First City Commission: "Coral Gables never had a better friend at any time than George Merrick." F. Wingfield Webster, member of the First City Commission: "With his artistic creative genius, his indomitable spirit, vision, courage, perseverance and hard work, George Merrick created in his Coral Gables a monument more appropriate and lasting than can be paid in mere words even though they be the sincere utterance of one of his closest associates, co-workers and friends. Florida's greatest citizen has passed on; let us all pay tribute to his memory." Will B. Reynolds, president Lion's Club: "Coral Gables has lost a great friend in the passing of George E. Merrick, its founder. As a young man back in 1910 and for some years following, we used to haul crate-slats to the Merrick farm—from Miami—then we knew George Merrick very well when he was beginning to dream the wonderful dream that came true." Mrs. Charles J. Susong: "I feel that I express the sentiments of members of the Coral Gables Woman's Club, of which I am president, when I say that Coral Gables has lost one of its most valued citizens. I know that ever since I came to Coral Gables in 1924, before that, George Merrick and I knew that he was responsible for the beautiful city that we all love so much." Mrs. Charles Fuchs, Jr., president of the Coral Gables Garden Club: "Mr. Merrick is a citizen and a figure we all will miss very much. I know now how much we depended on his judgment for carrying out, in a grand scale, the things that have beautified this community and made Coral Gables the beauty spot it is." Mrs. Charles R. Foster, president of Town and Gown: "I know the city has lost a great friend, as well as Town and Gown, so vitally a part of the University of Miami which he founded. Mr. Merrick often addressed Town and Gown and its accomplishments for the University were always of keen interest to him." Mrs. Gladys Becker, president of the Coral Gables Business and Professional Woman's Club: "Coral Gables is a tribute to George Merrick and he will be sorely missed by people who have met him for many years to come. For my club and for myself, I feel the community has suffered a great loss." William Edward Winegar, commander Coral Gables Post No. 98: "In the death of George Merrick, Coral Gables has lost a friend and loyal citizen. Coral Gables Post, No. 98, American Legion, stands at salute in his memory." F. Boyce Miller, president of the Country Club of Coral Gables: "A very deep sense of loss comes to us when such a man as George E. Merrick is called away. He always stood for the highest and best in our community and we who are left can best see his ideals and the splendid heritage bequeathed to us through him. Coral Gables will always be our monument to his memory." Andrew Houston, president of the Merchant's Bureau: "The city of Coral Gables, which Mr. Merrick planned and built, loses a very great friend; the city stands as a tribute to his splendid handiwork and memory." W. L. Gray, Jr., president of the Coral Gables Kiwanis Club: "Of course he's smiling—and who wouldn't be at the successful season now being experienced by Tropical Park? It's Walter Donovan, resident manager for the Gables Racing Association. "Coral Gables owes its existence to a dream which came true as a result of its founder, George E. Merrick. During his life, Coral Gables appreciated his love for the beautiful things and his guiding hand. I am sure that the citizens of Coral Gables will cherish his memory and see to it that, as our city grows, nothing will be done to mar George Merrick's dream. While his passing is an irreparable loss, still, he has left to us a heritage which many generations will recognize and appreciate." Mrs. L. E. Westerdahl, vice-regent Coral Gables Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution: "Although I did not know Mr. Merrick personally, his name and Coral Gables were so indelibly linked together that you always associated one with the other. Our beautiful city, therefore, will always be a living beautiful monument to him." Leslie H. Coombes, president of the Board of Realtors: "George E. Merrick will long be remembered as the founder of Coral Gables, in far corners of this country and others, as well as at home. Essentially a dreamer and poet, not all of his ideas were sound and practical, but in the heyday of his career he moved mountains of opposition. The truly lovely and beautiful city that is Coral Gables stands as a monument to his energy and zeal."

Simon Barer to Be Soloist In Last Symphony Concert

The last concert of the fourteenth subscription season of the University of Miami Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of John Bitter, will be given on April 13, with Simon Barer as soloist. Barer is one of the most exciting of pianists, whose playing has been described as the sensation of recent years. He is in person the most unobtrusive of men and a philosopher by nature. He has the true Russian outlook—the fatalistic "Nitchevo" (Never mind) that accepts the inevitable with calm resignation. After all, it's inevitable, what else can one do? Barer had need of his philosophy last summer. He had signed a contract for a two months' concert tour in South America, to open in Rio de Janeiro. In June last year he taken out his first citizenship papers in this country and was not yet eligible for a passport; but he had an affidavit issued by our Secretary of State. This, however, was not acceptable to the Brazilian officials on duty at the pier of the Western Prince. Neither was Barer's Russian passport, as Brazil did not recognize Russia. Thus inextricably wound up in red tape, Barer found himself helpless. He stood by watching the Western Prince slip away from the dock, carrying away the special piano furnished for his tour, his trunk of music and all personal luggage which had been sent on ahead. Nor would there be another ship sailing that would get him to Brazil in time for his opening concert. Airplane? Out of the question, so far as Barer was concerned. What to do? Nothing except to return to the hotel until Brazilian officialdom had ironed out the difficulties. Which he did . . . Nitchevo . . . "Everything is for the best in the best of worlds," according to the philosophy of "Candide." With this consoling thought Barer waited for the next boat.

Mrs. Rhoden Believes Loveliness Is Asset

Mrs. Ann Rhoden, proprietor of Ann's Beauty Salon at 2412 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, believes that women are entirely justified in taking any steps to enhance and retain their loveliness. "Any way you look at it," says Mrs. Rhoden, "it pays and pays and pays to be as attractive as possible. In the first place, a becoming coiffure, a lovely face that has been cared for properly, and attractively manicured hands give a woman assurance and poise which indubitably adds to her charm; and charm, as Shakespeare said, 'is an excellent thing in woman.' As a matter of fact, the great author might have said truthfully that charm is a girl's most indispensable in woman." Mrs. Rhoden is now in her fourteenth year, as a beauty specialist in Coral Gables. Seven years ago she established her own shop, which she named 'Ann's Beauty Salon," in the same location it now occupies. The business was successful from the beginning, and she now has three competent assistants, who are: Miss Pearl Walker, Miss Jean Hiss and Mrs. Martha Warren. Among the ultra-modern equipment of the salon are an air-cooled permanent wave machine and an electric nail-buffing machine. Mrs. Rhoden and her assistants not only have the very latest equipment with which they operate but they make it a point to study and master every new and approved style in beauty culture. The salon is open every day of the week at the hours usually observed by beauty salons, and in addition it is open, by appointment, on Monday and Thursday evenings.
