Another Girl Slated for Life Pix

Latest Coral Gables Miss to grace a magazine is Corine Gustafson of the Youth Center. Miss Gustafson was chosen, along with six other Youth Center girls, by Life photographer Ralph Crane to appear in a series of pictures that will be in a fall edition of Life magazine. Enthusiastic "Crane was enthusiastic about the pictures," said Miss Betty Ward, co-director of the Center, "and he remarked that the Youth Center has some of the prettiest girls he has ever seen." The popularity of the cartooning class started by Harry Wylie has caused the enlarged class to be divided into two separate classes, a younger group and an older group. Wylie stated that both groups show considerable talent and are enthusiastic about their work. Swimming Class Under the tutelage of Joe Clemente, the swimming class at the Venetian Pool has started their swimming and diving tests. Bob Parker leads at the end of the first week with the number of tests taken, and Ward O'Connell is runner-up. An award will be given the winner on July 15th.

BY HELEN REYNOLDS, SOCIETY EDITOR * * * Miss Daphne Shaver gave a luncheon at the Country Club of Coral Gables Saturday for 20, honoring her house guest and classmate at Cornell University, Mt. Vernon, Iowa, Miss Pat McKeen, of Chicago. This is Miss McKeen's first visit to Coral Gables and a round of parties, including beach and swim parties, have been planned for her. Mrs. Shaver and Daphne, also daughter Mary Ann, and her house guest, Connie Smith, will leave Sunday for the Playhouse Camp at Danbury, Wisconsin. * * * Mrs. Ross Beckstrom is taking off this week for an extended vacation and much needed rest. She will visit her sister, Miss Ruth Peterson, at Rockford, Ill., and be on hand for the annual reunion of the Peterson family. Mrs. Beckstrom happens to be one of seven, and will visit her sisters and brothers scattered through the middle west. She will not return until September. * * * Off to the Carolina mountains today in their brand new two-tone grey Buick are Mr. and Mrs. Sam Bailey of 1134 Avenue Milan. They will be quartered at the Dunham House in Waynesville, for July and August, where they have stayed for several seasons past. * * * Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Roberts, Jr., and son Billy, plan to leave about the middle of July for a month's vacation. They will visit relatives and Mr. Roberts' mother, who lived for many years in Coral Gables, in New York, and, returning, spend about two weeks in Highlands, N. C. Incidently Billy, who graduated in May from the grammar grades at St. Theresa's, won the varsity "T" in sports and was the third eighth grader in the history of the school to win the award. * * * Speaking of birthdays, Ann Rhoden, who owns and operates her own beauty salon on Ponce de Leon Boulevard, near the post office, is celebrating her 8th anniversary in her own shop and 18 years as a beauty operator in the Gables, which naturally makes her the dean of 'em all. July first is the date and Ann never lets it pass without some specials which she passes along to her customers. This time she will give half of her day's proceeds to the Coral Gables Business and Professional Women's Club, of which she is a member. The business women, you know, give a scholarship to a deserving girl business student at Ponce each year. * * * The Jimmy Hendersons' three sons-Pete, 5; Jimmy, Jr., 9, and Bill, 7-will never forget their plane and sightsee-ing trip and neither will their parents. They have just returned and the school board commissioner reports "never a dull moment." They first visited Chicago, Ill., boarding the 'Constellation' there for New York City, where they stayed at Hotel Taft, then by plane to Washington, where they did all of the historical sights for the kiddies' benefit, "in just two weeks." * * * It's hospital news at the A. D. Barneses, 916 Avenue Marianna, Adrienne Barnes, teen-age daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Barnes is confined in a cast from her neck to her toes due to a hip break. Adrienne's chief worry over the mishap, so her mother reports, is that she has to miss the band classes at Ponce de Leon High School this summer and in which she is enrolled as a student of the flute. Also the Barnes' son Douglas is recuperating from a nasal operation performed at St. Francis Hospital last week. * * * Miss Ann Ellis, named the year's sweetheart of Sigma Chi, at the University of Miami's chapter of that fraternity, and a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, will entertain with a luncheon Saturday at her home, 307 Avenue Alesio. Honor guests will be Miss Barbara Fosgate, home from Florida State, and Miss Gail Perry of New York. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Olin Kennedy Jones returned Monday from a cruise down the keys and a week at Key West on their cabin cruiser, the Helen Around. Mrs. Jones, the former Mrs. H. Jarvis Reynolds, and Mr. Jones were wed early in June, announced their marriage to their friends June 17 at a cocktail party at the Country C.lub of Coral Gables. For her announcement party, Mrs. Jones wore an aqua pure silk print, matching acqua tulle hat and corsage of sweetheart roses and baby wreath. Mr. Jones is a former chief engineer serving with the transport command during the war. * * * Hardly had Mr. and Mrs. Allison B. Curry taken possession of their newly acquired home at 1000 Hardee Road, when their sons took on some new assignments which require their absence from home. Bill is off to Canada, doing some special work for the AMA office, and Tom has been commissioned to paint some murals for Pan American Airways in Brazil.

Growth of Elks Lodge Traced by Ruler Healy

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has more than doubled since Pearl Harbor, some 510,000 new applicants having been accepted during the past five years or so, according to Andrew T. Healy, Exalted Ruler of Coral Gables Lodge No. 1676, who has received figures from officials of the Grand Lodge. Elks throughout the nation now number more than 900,000. Veterans Join One of the major reasons for the addition of thousands of young men who were in the armed services is believed to be their experiences with various Elks canteens and hospitality centers during the war. These were located in practically all embarkation and debarkation areas, as well as most major centers of population, and and women in uniform were urged to use their facilities. These hospitality centers offered not only social recreation, but food at very reasonable prices and, in many cases, sleeping accommodations. Hundreds of thousands of boys and girls away from home found temporary haven at Elks centers. Visiting Services Even today, more than a year and a half after hostilities ended, the Elks are maintaining visiting services to some 146 hospitals throughout the nation. These are the institutions where men suffering from wounds and physical disabilities as a result of the war are recuperating. Elks services to these men are not confined to mere hospital visits. Inmates who are physically able are taken on fishing trips, on tours and for various other forms of recreation. Moreover the entire membership of the Elks has addressed itself to assisting veterans in the present housing crisis. The Elks had more than 80,000 members in the armed services of whom some 2,000 were killed. The order has no religious, political or commercial interests or activities. Membership in the local lodge has kept pace with the national increase. Lodge No. 1676 had some 134 members in 1945. It now numbers 800 members. By far the greater percentage of these were men who wore the various uniforms of our armed services. This post-war increase in membership is in harmony with the tradition of the Elks, according to Exalted Ruler Healy. The order was founded immediately after the Civil War, when social and economic conditions were unsettled and post-war problems were rifle. It grew greatly in size following World War I. History again seems to be repeating itself.

WHERE IT'S COLD

Dressed in their best woolen suits, five Coral Gables girls camp bound, by plane, breakfasted in Coral Gables Wednesday and had dinner that night at Waterville, Maine.

Mrs. Judson Hill, owner of the camp, Camp To-Co-Net, had preceded the Gables contingent.

Radio Program In Spanish Is Inaugurated

Consistant with the growing Spanish-speaking population of the Greater Miami area, a radio program of Spanish and Latin-American music was inaugurated recently by Fernando Luis, whose sobriquet of Don Dinero is familiar to radio fans in many Lain-American countries. The program is broadcast daily from 6:45 to 7 p.m. by station WINZ, Miami Beach. Music and songs by popular artists feature this program, which will soon be extended to a half hour transmission to include news in Spanish.

Muskogee Visitor Falls Victim to 'Sand-In-Shoes'

Another out-of-state visitor fell victim to the lure of sand-in-her-shoes this week when Mrs. Zaida Brown of Muskogee, Okla., decided that after seeing Coral Gables she will eventually return to make her permanent home here. Visiting at the home of her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth C. Hawkins, of 934 Avenue Palermo, Mrs. Brown came here after visiting other relatives in Los Angeles and Texas. But neither California nor the Panhandle State had the appeal of "the city beautiful."

Local Author Died Thursday

By her own request no funeral services will be held for Maria Moravsky, novelist and short story writer, who died yesterday at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Cremation will take place Saturday.

A native of Russia, Miss Moravsky came to this country following the Russian revolution as a newspaper reporter. She came to Coral Gables several years ago and was a writer of short stories and articles. Her stories of coffee and cotton raising on her own 50 foot lot, for her own use during the war, were published in newspapers and magazines. She leaves her husband, Edward M. Coughlan, also a writer.

Mr. Diard Is Feted

Mr. Diard was stationed at the AAF Regional Hospital, and worked as soloist in several of the churches here. Mr. Diard sang for his many friends who gathered at Mrs. Brain's home.
