Survey Launched To Avert 'U' Traffic Problem

(Continued from Page 1) versity Drive asked the commissioners to effect some kind of control during the summer season so that the influx of some 7,000 students for the fall semester would not create an overwhelming problem. McIlwain advised Cook that the police cars were paying more and more attention to the area on their tours of duty and that the survey would enable more intelligent plans for traffic control.

(Continued from Page 1) ton Beck, Frank Freeman and J. W. Liversedge.

Batters will run to third, instead of first base upon hitting the apple. 4. Four strikes and three balls will be allowed. 5. Umpires must be accompanied by Seeing Eye dogs for calling the close ones. Aiding Fullwood in preparation for the celebration are John A. Rosasco, Jack Gramley, Ed Beckman and A. E. Harum.

Boy Scout's 'Snakeskin' Tie Slinky -- But Not Popular

Tommy Daniel is sponsoring a new fashion in cravats-but he reluctantly admits that his idea has been received in most quarters with something less than enthusiasm. What the 14-year-old Gables Boy Scout wears slung around his neck as he bicycles about town is the yellow-bellied skin of a three-and-a-half foot green snake. What most people object to is that the snake-writhing, darting and coiling-is still inside it! "Lookit. Now isn't he a beauty?" queried the owner proudly as the reptile slithered down from his neck into Tommy's shirt pocket for a snooze. From where your reporter stood, the apple-green and yellow coloring appeared attractive-but not enough to encourage closer acquaintance. Christened "Beauregard," the snake is probably the most traveled of its species in Coral Gables. Draped carelessly around the boy's shoulders, the reptile hangs on by the simple process of twining its tail around the spot where a snake's neck might be, and darts forked tongue into the breeze as Tommy pedals along. "Snakes are wonderful to have around the house," Tommy averred. "Why, just think-they eat flies and roaches and, er, lots of other things!" He confessed that he uses this salestalk on his mother and his father, L. A. Daniel, head of Ponce de Leon Portrait Studios, every time he adds to the collection of lizards, chameleons and snakes he quarters at the Daniel home, 2953 S. W. 16th Terrace. But probably more persuasive to his parents is the fact that Tommy, who belongs to Troop 43, which meets at the American Legion Home on Alhambra Circle, is trying for his Reptile Merit Badge.

Betty Lou Shop Opens In Gables

Opening this week in Coral Gables is the Betty Lou Shop at 2332 Ponce de Leon Boulevard. Featuring the "Joan Miller Juniors", the shop is a branch of the Miami store popular with Coral Gables shoppers for a number of years. Located in the former Vogue Dress shop, the storeroom has been entirely renovated and redecorated for the first showing of back-to-school clothes, dear to the heart of the teenager.

Miss Jones Soloist In Piano Recital

Co-sponsors of the annual meet are the City of Coral Gables and the Riviera-Times. First place winners will gain a "leg" on one of six permanent trophies as well as medals and ribbons.

Three Boys Found In Vacant House

Three boys from the Northwest section, found by Coral Gables police in an untenanted house at 848 Avenue Malaga, this week were turned over to Juvenile Officer Hazelett for action. The boys, aged nine, 13 and 14 years respectively, were taken into custody when a neighbor notified Police Headquarters of their presence in the vacant home.

Architect Opens Offices Here

Vernon D. Lamp, architect, this week announced the opening of offices at 203 1/2 Avenue Alcazar. Prior to the war, Lamp was associated with Robert Fitch Smith and later with Russell T. Pancoast. After serving as a lieutenant in the Navy for three years, he joined the office of Robert Law Weed, Architects and Engineers. Lamp is a graduate of Miami Senior High and the University of Florida.

MacNeill, chief of the Coral Gables Detective Bureau has been on sick leave from his post. He is expected to return to duty next week.

HENSON PASSES GEORGIA BAR EXAM

When you speak to Kenneth Henson, please address him as "counselor" from now on. The Gables man was one of 41 recent graduates of the University of Georgia School of Law who passed the Georgia Bar Examination given in June by the State Board of Bar Examiners. A United States flag made from silk gowns donated by ladies of Portsmouth, N. H., was the first national ensign to be saluted at sea by a foreign power.

HAVE YOU HEARD THE ONE ABOUT THE 4 PENGUINS?

They came up here from the Antarctic. And summers were quite a problem. How could they keep cool? The first penguin plumped for attic ventilation. And it worked wonders! He's written his agent to go ahead and sell the igloo. The second penguin installed a big air-cooling fan. He's wiring money to Mrs. P. and the kids to come on up and join him. The third penguin (who smokes a lot) figured he needed complete air conditioning. He sleeps like a kitten now. The fourth penguin bought himself a big new electric fan. It's been weeks since he even thought about the old home berg. Yes, each in his own different way solved his problem of how to keep cool in summer. And they all lived happily ever after. Certainly Penguins aren't smarter than people! SEE YOUR DEALER TODAY! Brand new post-war cooling appliances are now available at your electric dealers. See him today and breeze through the hot weather. Convenient terms are available. FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY HELPING BUILD FLORIDA
