ENROLLMENT AT NEW PEAK AS SCHOOLS REGISTER 3,625

(Continued from page one) p. m. while eighth grade classes will meet from 9:30 a. m. until 4 p. m. By this staggering of hours the school will be able to double up on its classroom operations. Replaces Bus Plan The new system replaces the previous plan by which the junior high grades would have been moved to Shenandoah Junior High for classes. Children who will be six years old on or before January 1, 1948, are entitled to be enrolled in the first grade of common school in September, Attorney General J. Tom Watson ruled in Tallahassee this week. Replying to an inquiry from Colin English, state school superintendent, the attorney general declared the 1947 legislature repeated without change the older wording of the law when it enacted the new common school law. On the basis of the old as well as new law, both Attorney General Watson and his predecessor had ruled that a child must be five years and eight months old on the first day of the month in which school opens, thus allowing registration of all those who are six years old on or before the following January 1. The names, records, and teaching experience of more than 30,000 teachers are on file at the office of the State Department of Education in Tallahassee.

Record Seen In Enrollment At University

(Continued from page one) five temporary structures have been built on the main campus. The administrative departments have moved into one of the buildings, one will house a new cafeteria, and three will be used for the laboratory sciences. Use Veterans' Village Veteran's village at 20th street is still being maintained for married veterans and the present men's and women's dormitories will be used. Two new dormitories on main campus will be finished in November. These will be used for the unmarried veterans at the school. After November, one new dormitory a week is expected to be finished. These will be turned over to the married veterans for apartments as soon as they are completed. The largest group of students at the university will again be veterans, averaging between 60 and 62 per cent of the entire student body. The South campus will be co-educational. Only out-of-town freshmen will use this campus and be housed there. Foreign Students Coming The university is expecting more foreign students than ever before, the majority coming from the Latin American countries, although there will be a few students from Iran, Iraq, Egypt and the European countries. North campus is gradually being turned over to the law school, and all the offices have been moved to main campus, except engineering, art and home economics offices which still have departments on the old campus. Pre-registration began at the school Monday and will continue for several weeks. Regular registration will take place Oct. 1 and 2 for the old students, October 3 and 4 for those entering the university for the first time. Classes for the fall semester begin Oct. 6.

IT'S CALLED 'DEAD RUN' Helen Holley's Second 'Whodunit' Novel Slated For Publication October First

(Continued from Page One) for Mrs. Holley on the day of publication by one of the Miami department stores. Not one to let time lapse, Mrs. Holley is half finished with her third mystery, "Take a Murder, Maloney", which will have a Coral Gables setting. "I never used Coral Gables as the setting of any of my books," she commented. "Coral Gables was such a quiet little town that I could not see a murder taking place out here, but so many people kept yelling at me to use Coral Gables as the setting for a book that I decided to use Coral Gables color entirely in my latest book." Open Detective Agency In Mrs. Holley's third book, her erstwhile characters, Maloney and Miss Tessie open a detective agency, Miss Tessie acting as the silent partner. "Take a Murder, Maloney" will be finished in several months. It is entirely plotted out, and the author declared that that is the most difficult part in writing a mystery. In a mystery you have to work backwards and decide how to get your characters out of a jam before you put them into one. After she becomes more widely known through her mystery books Mrs. Holley plans on releasing a novel, which she confided is similar to Thorne Smith's books and was written only to entertain.

Ad Program Gains Approval

(Continued from Page One) cost per reader of .003847 cents. Secure Cooperation The agency has also been in contact with advertising representatives of major life insurance companies, suggesting that as a selling point for their product, retirement will mean much greater weight if it is used to suggest the greater benefits that a life of leisure in Coral Gables affords. One company has already agreed to mention the community in its advertising with no cost to the Chamber or the city. Use of several billboards on the main highways leading South is also contemplated. The outdoor boards will carry a minimum of copy and stress Coral Gables as a place to live. In no instance will the "tourist type" of advertising be employed. The program was presented to the commission at a joint meeting with Chamber of Commerce directors at the Country Club of Coral Gables.
