Pilot Training Course Requirements Eased

Ever conscious of the fact that progress in the planning curricula was an essential factor in bettering educational standards, the University of Miami some three years ago made a radical departure and included courses in the civilian pilot training program as regular credit courses leading to a degree. These included an elementary course and a course in secondary flying, leading to the issuance of private pilot licenses, as well as towards credit towards an undergraduate degree. The elementary course consists of 72 hours of ground school with from 35 to 50 hours of flying in light ships, while the secondary course includes 108 hours of ground school with from 35 to 40 hours of flying in heavier types of planes than are used in the elementary course. In keeping with the increase of speed in education, the Government has seen fit to reduce the educational requirements, for now the elementary course is open to all students at the University of Miami, and requires a certificate of enrolment in the University, it no longer being required that the student have completed one year of collegiate work. It is also important that the age limits have been reduced to eighteen years as a minimum. Both the elementary and secondary courses will be offered this summer, beginning about July 1. Students and prospective students should communicate immediately with Professor J. H. Clouse at the University of Miami if they are interested in enrolling in these courses, so that the necessary papers may be filled out in ample time to insure registration in the course. This training is also open to non-students at the University if these civilians can pass the necessary educational requirements which information is maintained from Professor Clouse. Furthering their progressive attitude, the University has been privileged to offer the courses known as the "engineering, science and management defense training courses" sponsored by the U. S. Office of Education at the University of Florida, and specially given in this area at the University of Miami. The object of this series of courses, for which no fee is charged, is to provide short courses of college grade which are designed to meet the shortage of engineers, chemists, physicists and production supervisors in fields essential to the national defense. Not intended as a substitute for a college program, they offer intensive, specialized training for specific activity in the defense program.

Tommy Gay About Sky Club Opening

Tommy Williams of the Sky Club, on Tamiami Trail, has been wearing a broad smile since last Saturday night when he opened the club. What, with the gas regulatoins to everything, Tommy wasn't sure his friends would come to his opening. But let Tommy tell it: "My, my. It was a wow! They all came. They were my friends and they brought guests with them. It was swell! They filled the place. And, say, the Riviera gets the share of the credit. I put a big ad in The Riviera Friday morning. I know it helped pull them out. Thanks. Thanks. Come again." The Sky Club has recently been renovated and is taking its place as one of the finer places of amusement, for which Tamiami Trail is becoming famous.

Bishop Blake Lauds Student Loan Fund

Over forty bishops and college presidents throughout the nation, former recipients of Student Loan Funds, joined in 1942 appeal for contributions to the 71st annual Methodist Student Day observance on June 14. Donations received on that day will go to the revolving fund that is used to aid students who otherwise might not be able to continue their higher education. In its seventy years of operation, the Student Loan Fund has provided more than $9,000,000 to over 60,000 students, representing in 1941 Methodist and non-Methodist schools of learning from coast to coast. "After nearly 50 years of observation and experience," Bishop Edgar Blake of Coral Gables, said today, "I know of no fund that has meant more to the youth of the church than the Student Loan Fund. Never has there been a day when the fund was more needed than now." Dr. Harry Wright McPherson, director of the fund in Nashville, has stressed the need for aiding students during the war years. He said: "If each of the more than 8,600,000 members of the Methodist churches in America contributes only a dime, or a Defense Stamp in equal amount, he will be not only aiding this worthwhile enterprise, but his country. We must look to students of today to provide the leaders of tomorrow who can and will make this world a better place in which to live."

Defense Council Classifies Volunteer Work Groups

The State Defense Council has created the nomenclature, "Volunteer Office" to designate the functions of recruiting, interviewing, classifying and assigning volunteer personnel, which, in the civilian defense program of Florida, are the responsibility of the Division of Labor and Personnel. Where these functions have not been satisfactorily organized, local community defense councils were urged to establish competent staffs to carry on this work in their respecti with the public. The labor and personnel division has charge of all measures under education and information education and notice, division has chrge of all measures to inform, educate and inspire the public. It was suggested that the volunteer office and information bureau be located in existing council headquarters, if a suitable office space is available and open to the public, but close and easy access by the public to the Defense Council was urged in every case. Today's physical fitness program gained final approval of the State Defense Council and has gone to press. Defense councils will be expected to support and stimulate interest in the activities of all permanent community organizations which contribute to a balanced and complete program of health and physical fitness for all classes and age groups. Programs were advanced looking to the care of children and mothers in case of emergency and to the identification of children who may be left homeless. The State Defense Council has no general evacuation program since directives in this field are a function of the Army and have not been sent out.

CALLING DRAFTED MOTHERS

By ERAINE TURIN Editor's Note: Mrs. Turin is a Coral Gables resident and mother of a soldier. She is an accomplished author and playwright, and recently completed a radio program for the mothers of boys in the service. The other day someone said to me, "The know-your-neighbor doctrine promoted by the first aid classes of the American Red Cross is an excellent idea. And if practiced in our daily routines of life, it should create more unity on our home fronts than anything else I know of." He also went on to say, "But at the beginning of my attendance of a first aid class, I was amazed to find few heeded the instructress when she emphasized the necessity of knowing your neighbor. In this class, individuals attended there with their own companions nad were very indifferent to strangers. In fact, this indifference was so marked that I could hardly keep from thinking that bomb alone would make them get the real meaning of fellowship. Apparently they considered such fellowship of little importance. It took several meetings of this class to put them on a level where they showed some tolerance for others than their own companions. And that merely occurred because of the type of work this course of instruction demands. Of course, an outward friendliness finally did develop. But every time the class was dismissed, persons turned to their own companions and went their way in total indifference to their new neighbors — and even without the usual farewells. I grant this may not exist in all first aid classes. But the fact that it did exist where I attended makes me realize how lax we Americans are in getting together without reservations. And that merely where real fellowship is needed in this time of crisis." Drafted mothers of our Nation, you, who have bigger issues at stake than such civilian trivialities, understand so well what it means to "know your neighbor"—to break down all formal restraints which class distinctions entertain — to let no political views or social standards separate you from those who may not hold with these views or standards. Your common tie—your soldier sons, who themselves have learned to practice real fellowship — binds you together in a common effort to be of service to those sons, and thereby to your country. No other standard is yours. No matter from what socalled class you may come, no matter what your occupation may be, all of you will get together in the spirit of fellowship, supporting one another that you may support your sons. Obviously to "know your neighbor" must be learned and put to full practice in civilian life as well as in the armed forces—if we hope to unify our people so firmly together that victory can be the only outcome. To bear petty grievances, apprehensions or inhibitions at a time like this displays the fundamental on which our war production and activities depend. In the military service, the first doctrine taught is that of fellowship. A man can scarcely be a good soldier if he is unable to rely on the support of his fellow soldiers. And in turn, he likewise must give the same support to his comrades—to ready, under all conditions, to come to their quick aid. It would be a serious state of affairs indeed if—let us say—a former executive and a former mechanic, fighting side by side, should stay on formidable terms and not let go of themselves to be partners in their common objective: the fighting for a democracy where both have equal rights in their chosen course of life. To "know your neighbor" in the service breaks down all restraints to which political views, social and busi-ness standards would, yet should not, make one hold. Drafted mothers of our nation, since you have no inhibitions to practice this "know-your-neighbor" doctrine, since your soldier sons themselves practice that doctrine, since they are fighting to maintain real fellowship for and among all democratic nations, I say to you, "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works." Thus, by example, you can show our people the necessity of working together so that your sons will receive the support they need to win the war. (Copyright, 1942)

Employment Shows Increase Over Last Year

TALLAHASSEE, May 22—Employment in Florida in 1941 showed a marked increase over 1940, as indicated by figures in the files of the Unemployment Compensation Division of the Florida Industrial Commission, according to a report submitted today to Governor Spessard L. Holland by Boyce A. Williams, commission chairman. Covering the two-year period, 1940-41, it is estimated that the commission handled the records of wage earnings of more than 600,000 workers in this state. Workers listed on the pay-rolls of those employers who come under the provisions of the unemployment compensation law as being currently employed in 1941, total 588,000. This compares with 508,000 in 1940, a gain of 80,000, practically a 16 per cent increase. Indications so far this year, said Chairman Williams, point to a still greater stepping up of employment as war industries expand. He emphasizes that the various places in Florida where they are now being established.

War Board Asks Florida To Jump Rubber Collection

Old rubber is now the number one item on the list of essential scrap materials needed for the war effort, the War Production Board is asking Florida for increased waste rubber collections and emphasizes that the importance of the three essential scrap materials are rubber, iron and metals and waste paper. It is essential that the response of the people of Florida and all over the nation to the appeal of their government to save waste paper that mills find themselves overstocked in a good many instances. Thousands of tons of waste paper have been collected in Florida. An appeal is made to all householders and organizations having paper on hand to see that their supplies are kept dry and clean—ready for marketing. There is no fire hazard if paper is kept separate from rags, matches, wiring and in a dry place. The temporary lull—Washington is of the opnion that in from 30 to 90 days the demand will catch up with the supplies—should give opportunity to grade present supplies of paper by segregating newspapers, magazines and cartons. There is an unlimited demand for cartons at the present time. Waste mixed paper is seemingly the big headache.

Pullman's Linen Could Tuck Gables to Bed 20 Times

Enough cotton sheets and pillow cases to tuck twenty times the entire population of Coral Gables into bed were purchased last year by the Pullman Company. Its total bed linen inventory, announced in Chicago today by Frank S. Rick, general storekeeper, would be sufficient to give clean sheets and slips to each of the 8,294 men, women and children of Coral Gables every night for 138 nights. Pullman owns 2,342,186 sheets and 1,881,887 slips, worth about $2,000,000. This unique view into the operations of the sleeping car company, which was probably the largest user of linens in the world before the war expanded the requirements of the armed services, was offered to the cotton industry, which, in 1941, sold more than $260,000 worth of sheets and slips alone to Pullman. The total estimated value of all linens in the inventory report was put at $2,571,000, and the annual laundry bill in recent years has exceeded $1,500,000. With the price of cotton higher now than two years ago, Pullman expects to surpass its 1941 purchases, provided its increased orders for linen are not curtailed, Rick pointed out.
