Cy Washburn to Play Farewell Engagement at Club

Cy Washburn and his Miami-Biltmore Orchestra have been engaged for the regular Saturday night dance at the Country Club of Coral Gables, according to an announcement just received by Karl Schmitz, manager of the club. The orchestra will appear at the club Saturday night, prior to their departure for the North. Cy Washburn and the orchestra have been appearing at the Maimi Biltmore Hotel during the entire season and have made an enviable reputation there, and many friends among Coral Gables residents, leading to the negotiations for their appearance at the Country Club. The orchestra, according to Mr. Schmitz, features the Singing Strings and the singing of The Huntsmen, a trio composed of Steve Hunter, Louis Cafiero and Claiborne Bryson (all well-known to New York society dancers) who are also featured as soloists. Louis Cafiero is a violinist and operatic tenor of national reputation. Claiborne Bryson was featured as guitarist and vocalist with Ben Bernie, George Olsen and many other "name" bands. Steve Hunter, Mr. Washburn's pianist and third member of the trio, is well known in the highest type of society entertaining in New York, where he appeared at the Rainbow Room, Versailles, El Morocco, etc. Cy Washburn (a resident of Coral Gables) has a national reputation as an organizer and developer of great orchestras in the field of radio. He has contracted for years some of the greatest radio shows on the air. As orchestra contractor for Mark Warnow Harry Salter, Percy Faith, Phil Spitalny and others, he has handled such outstanding programs as The Hit Parade, We, the People, Helen Hayes Theatre Hobby Lobby, The Contented Hour Frank Fay's Tums Show and many others, too numerous to mention. Prior to Mr. Washburn's advent in radio, he was for many years featured as bass and tuba soloist with such name bands as George Olsen, Jan Garber, Red Nichols, Ben Bernie, George Hall and Paul Specht. Our boys at the front need a steady flow of supplies. You can assure this by systematic purchase of U. S. Defense Bonds and Stamps.

'Sovereign of the Seas' Sails in Miniature

An example of what patience plus a steady hand can accomplish is revealed in the model of the clipper ship, "Sovereign of the Seas," which will be on display all week in the window of The Riviera office. Constructed by Phillip Lewis, 1243 Coral Way, the model is built as exactly to scale as possible. The original boat, which weighed 2,421 tons, was built in 1852, was 258 feet long, had a breadth of 44 feet and a depth of 231⁄2 feet. Spurning the ordinary model kits, Lewis built his model of raw lumber. The hull contains seven pieces of glued wood, one on top of the other. There are over 120 tiny tackle blocks, 170 "dead-eyes" and seven dozen belaying pins, each with a separate line tied around it. All doors are movable and all windows have iron bars. Working on an average of five hours a day, Lewis completed the model in four and one-half months. With the exception of some tiny parts, secured at the Hobby Shop in Miami, the ship is all hand-carved. Paint was supplied by the Houston-Hurst Paint Co. This is the fourth model Lewis has constructed in his "hobby building" career. The first three were also of the "Sovereign of the Seas."

Merchants Approve New Parking Tickets

Editor, The Riviera: Your editorial in the March 20 issue of the Coral Gables Riviera, with reference to the parking problem was appropriate and should be read by all local business people, residents and visitors. As you state, the parking problem is a puzzling one. It is difficult to establish a uniform maximum parking time limit that will be fair to every type of business in the downtown area. "Loading" zones and "No Parking" zones are not desirable in the downtown retail shopping district. Different time limits would be confusing. Out of the many discussions concerning the parking situation, two solutions are apparent. The first is voluntary on our part. The wide and convenient side streets can be used for long-time parking. The main streets would be available for short-time parking. The main streets would be available for short-time shopping requirements. The second solution is costly-strict enforcement, which we neither want nor need. The notices issued by the Coral Gables Police Department serve as a courteous reminder to all motorists of the voluntary solution of the problem and should be all that is necessary. In behalf of the members of the Merchants Bureau of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce, I wish to thank you for this timely editorial and through the medium of your splendid community paper to appeal to the motorists to co-operate with the Coral Gables Police Department in their efforts to solve this problem. Yours very truly, A. N. HOUSTON, Chairman Merchants Bureau of the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce.

-TALK By BARBARA BROWNE

When girls sigh dreamily in the middle of a history lecture and boys twist restlessly in their seats to look out of windows, it is then we know that there is an epidemic of that disease for which there is no cure-spring fever. It isn't that the girls dont want to learn about the industrial revolution; that boys don't like school. It's just, well, there's no other explanation but to say "Spring is here!" And even with the restlessness of spring U students are busier than ever with defense work and club plans. All fraternities and sororities are having weekly rehearsals in preparation for the Chi Mu Alpha Songfest to be held at the Biltmore Country Club April 24. Each Greek-letter group will sing two songs in competition for the silver plaque which the music club gives. Chi O's Plan Carnival Busily working on committees are the Chi Omegas who are preparing for their annual Carnival to be given this year April 17 in the University Cafeteria. All profit will be donated to some defense organization. Jeanne Girton chairman of the affair has selected as her committee: chairman Penney Roth orchestra; Helen Murray, tickets; Helen Carmichael, Carnival Queen booth; Dorothy Parmelee, publicity; Jane Mack, program; La Varyn Hunniecke, posters, and Virginia Byrd, decorations. Equally important in campus conversations is the Theta Alpha Phi Follies to be presented at the Gables School auditorium, April 11, 8 P. M. Students are rehearsing skits which will carry out the theme, "Drama Through the Ages" (in burlesque, of course). New Sigma Chi's Happy You can pick out the new active members of Sigma Chi when they are a block away by the bright smiles and pleased looks they have worn continuously since their initiation into the national fraternity last weekend. The installation of the Sigma Chi chapter at the University of Miami, an occasion which brought important members to Miami from all parts of the nation, was climaxed Saturday night with an Installation Ball at the Biltmore. Y. W. C. A. members talk excitedly about their proposed week-end at Snapper Creek and their Installation Banquet to be given April 1 for the new officers, who are: Miriam Stewart, president; Frances Bennett, vice-president; May Morat, secretary and Mary Jane Davies, treasurer. Miss Mary Helen Clarke, Mrs. E. Morton Miller and Mrs. B. F. Ashe were elected to fill thevacancies in advisory board. Students are going to need engagement books if they don't want to miss any of the important coming events.

Debaters Second in State In Gainesville Match

Winning debating honors for Ponce are, right to left, Hayes Wood, Harry Letaw, Jack Hoehl, Alan Hutton, Bill Pierce and Jack Booker. Victorious the Ponce debate team returns from the statewide debate tournament, held in Gainesville last Thursday through Saturday, with more honors to add to their collection. Capturing first place in the state with their negative team and second highest with affirmative, Ponce debaters stand as the second best in the state. Holding top honors by a narrow margin is Orlando High School, which will soon come to Miami for an invitational run-off debate during the first part of May. The winner of this debate will be best in the state. Comprising the negative team are Bill Pierce, Alan Hutton and Jack Hoehl. The affirmative debaters are Hayes Wood, Harry Letaw and Jack Booker. Club sponsor and chaperone for the trip was Mrs. Herberta Leonardy.

A letter from the president of the United States in recognition of and commendation on naval valor was the honor bestowed on former student, Joseph T. Crownower, who left Ponce in 1937 and joined the navy. Crownower, who is 21, was a radio man, first class, on one of our naval vessels at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese attack on the great Hawaiian base last Dec. 7. He received the honor for bravery and presence of mind beyond the regular requirements of duty. Mrs. Hallie White, Mr. Robert Mateer and Mr. Abbott Messler, who were three of his teachers while he was here, remembered him as a blond-haired, cheerful, and very popular young man.
