Registration To Be Revised On Gas Vote

(Continued from Page One) necessary. A similar system has been adopted by Dade County. Hendrick expressed the opinion that the period prior to the gas franchise election would be ideal for a new registration because no political candidates are involved. Prior attempts to call for new registrations during political campaigns were blocked by candidates who apparently feared some supporters might be disqualified. He estimated that an intensive 30-day campaign would be conducted to bring out the citizens to register. City Commissioner Dave Hendrick indicated that the Junior Chamber of Commerce would be willing to aid in the drive. Anyone who has lived in the state for one year and in Coral Gables for six months is eligible to register.

Brain Food Pupils to Learn Nutrition

(Continued from Page One) ments can be made to change over from P.-T.A. supervision. "It is our desire to make the lunchroom program a part of the educational program," she stated, "with food education being tied right in with the classroom instruction." The program will be carried on in the first to twelfth grades, so that children will be given a thorough understanding of proper diet and eating habits. Under the centralized food control program being worked out by Miss Rowland and Food Control Expert W. B. Wallston, a well balanced plate lunch will be furnished students for 25 cents. This will include a meat or meat substitute, vegetable and fruit salad, bread and butter and a bottle of milk. Four field supervisors will direct the program. Miss Rowland said the P.-T.A. operated cafeterias had indicated that they would follow suit in providing similar lunches prior to the time they come under the overall control plan.

City Served With Injunction On Liquor Law

City Clerk E. B. Poorman was served yesterday with an injunction preventing the enforcement of a new city ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor in an establishment where minors are present. The injunction was obtained from Circuit Judge Ross Williams by William Kirtley, attorney for Ed Hassen who operates the Howard Johnson Restaurant on Tamiami Trail. Said Discriminatory Hassen contends that the ordinance is discriminatory, restricted and special legislation "applying solely to his establishment. Kirtley explained yesterday that the injunction makes the law, "barring the service of liquor containing more than 22 per cent alcohol in the presence of any person under the age of 21 unless accompanied by parent or natural guardian" inoperative. City Has Next Move He said that the next move was up to the city to obtain a hearing and show cause why the injunction should not become permanent. Hassen, who previously went to court to obtain a cocktail bar license for his establishment, branded the new ordinance as persecution. Further city action on the ordinance will await the return of City Attorney Edward L. Semple from a North Carolina vacation.

Toll Cost On Causeway Is Debated

A question of the reason for the proposed 50-cent toll, per car, across the new Rickenbacker Causeway enlivened the interesting open forum of economic experts held Wednesday night in the new auditorium of the University of Miami. Sparked by R. B. Roberts, general sales manager of the Florida Power and Light Co., who acted as liaison officer between the property owners on Biscayne Key and the County Commissioners, builders of the causeway, the forum was conducted by the Statistical Exchange of South Florida. Earl Rader, county engineer, gave the answer to the above question in stating that the new causeway, which had originally been calculated at four million dollars had actually cost two million dollars more to construct, due to the high cost of labor and lack of material. He gave as one example that a keg of nails, hard to get at any price, cost $100. A. D. Barnes, county park superintendent illustrated his report with slides of the finished part of Crandon Park showing two paved parking spaces for 1,300 automobiles each. Talks were given by Kenneth Keyes, one of the five owners of salable land on Biscayne Key and Finlay Matheson, representing the Matheson family interests; Earl Peebles of the Florida Power & Light, commercial; Frank Stearns and Dr. F. G. Walton-Smith, marine life instructor of the University who told of the proposed marine studios to be built in Crandon Park. Dr. Reinhold P. Wolfe, professor of economics for the University, closed the forum with an illustrated statistical chart talk.

Since the passage of the new school bill an increase in applications for Florida teaching certificates from out-of-state residents has been noted.

City Answers Mathesons' Exclusion Suit

Further developments in the legal battle to retain the lower portion of Biscayne Key within the city limits were awaited today after Matheson interests were criticized in Circuit Court on Tuesday for attempting to have their lands withdrawn from Coral Gables. Filing an answer to the Matheson petition, City Attorney Edward L. Semple pointed out that the key property has been in the Gables since 1925, and that the Mathesons had never sought to be excluded before, even though the city had been in court many times seeking validation of bond issues and other legal procedures. Semple said that the time had exceeded any statute of limitations known in the state and that there ought to be a "moral statute of limitations" brought to bear in this case.

"Why, thats a regular band, Mose," replied the justice. "Do you want me to send off and get you a horn, too?" "No, suh," was the dismal response. "Ah wants to git disbanded."
