Disabled Vets Paid $12,182 Here Monthly

World War II disabled veterans residing in Coral Gables are awarded approximately $12,182 in government compensation each month, it was estimated by national headquarters of the Disabled American Veterans in Cincinnati. This estimate was based on a recent survey by the DAV which shows that the average monthly compensation being paid to veterans of World War II is $42.01. In an earlier estimate the DAV placed the number of World War II disabled veterans living in Coral Gables at 290. Wm. E. Tate, National Director for Claims, said monthly compensation is awarded by the government for disabilities and handicaps incurred in the armed forces of the nation. "Disabled veterans are paid by a grateful government," Tate said, "to help them live a normal life and become useful citizens in their communities."

Four Seasons Come To Fairchild Garden-All at Once

Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer came to Fairchild Gardens within the space of an hour this week. The phenomenon was brought about through color slides to demonstrate to 300 amateur horticulturists that what appears an unprepossessing swatch of leaves or branches this season may burst into a blaze of splendor next. Harold Loomis of the U.S. Plant Introduction Garden told the audience of the habits of more than a score of shrubs, trees and fruits on parade at the Fairchild Gardens; described them in their dormant periods; then called upon Roy Matthews to display them via color slides in full and blazing maturity.

L. P. Crice, 71, Dies Suddendly At Asbury Park

Louis P. Croce, 71, prominent business man and civic leader of Asbury Park, N.J., and a winter resident in Coral Gables for many years, died suddenly at his New Jersey home last week. Death was attributed to cerebral hemorrhage. Mr. Croce built a home at 501 Avenue Alcazar in 1938 and it was here he spent his winters following retirement from active business in 1940. A director of the Asbury Park and Ocean Grove Bank, he was identified actively with three New Jersey firms which he founded; a beverage distilling and bottling concern; a candy manufacturing business and a firm which distributed stage fixtures. He was elected councilman for Asbury Park in 1933 and served for a time as acting Mayor of the New Jersey city. Born in Milano, Italy, Mr. Croce moved with his parents to London when he was 12 and completed his education there. He came to this country in 1898. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Marie Lange Croce and several nieces and nephews.

Florida Vehicular Growth Outstrips National Average

An indication that Florida is growing faster than any other national area is the statement of the State Road Department that in numbers of motor vehicles of all types, Florida registrations have increased 84 per cent in the span of 11 years. Nationally, there are 27 per cent more vehicles than in 1935, a sure indication that the state is growing more rapidly as compared with national trends. To meet requirements of increased traffic, a $100,000,000 highway construction job encompasing 48,216 miles, is on the planning boards of the State Road Department. The year 1946 saw 22 per cent more vehicles on Florida highways than in the previous year, while the national increase stood at 11 per cent, and registrations in Florida from the first of the year to date continue appreciably ahead of the 1946 figure.

Retirement From Public Office Has To Compensations, Ex-Mayor Avers

All good things must come to an end, the saying goes. And so Thomas C. Mayes picked up his hat and coat and quietly retired as Mayor of Coral Gables. Happy, however, that his career as Mayor has come to a close, Mr. Mayes now has the opportunity to become re-acquainted with his family. His office as Mayor required not only his time during office hours, but even in the evenings he was kept busy attending banquets and other functions. "It has been quite an honor for me to be Mayor of Coral Gables," Mayes said, "but it's also a relief to get away from it for a while!" With the termination of his four years as Mayor, Mayes says he can now enjoy his evening meal at home with his family—a treat for any man. The traditional banquet dinner of roast chicken and green peas has been put away in moth balls for a while, as far as Mayes is concerned. The cooperation of the commis- sion during his mayoralty gave Mr. Mayes four years of pleasure in dealing with city affairs, he declared, but he warned that the growth of Coral Gables will require the utmost cooperation with and service to future mayors. As for future political aspirations, there are none at the present. "I shall devote all my time to my law work and to my job as commissioner," said Mr. Mayes.
