Lucky, at That

In a tight-fisted congregation the hat was passed around one Sunday and returned absolutely empty. The pastor cast his eyes heavenly and said, with a great deal of reference, "I thank Thee, Oh Lord, that I got my hat back."

SCHENLEY PARK NEWS Vacations Are Discussed As Winds Begin to Howl

By PEGGY GORDON It seems most appropriate to be sounding our first huff as the seasonal blow is still news. Mary Hickey has succeeded in advancing the news on Frog Hollow for sometime and the fact that the frogs should be out croaking all of us Schenley Parkites determined us to do a little barking ourselves. One could scarcely feel more refreshed than this scribe after our little jaunt down on the Keys accompanied with friend husband and little daughter. The E. C. Lunsfords who have a home on the Keys near Tavanier thought they would give our little daughter a quiet little debut out in the open with their sons Eddie, Joe and Bill along with two other charming little companions, Freddie and Garry Tyson, sons of Dr. and Mrs. Fred Tyson. I expect when she is eighteen she'll be more appreciative of all the attetiions! We understand that the nest of Quayles across the street—no, not birds—otherwise known as the William M. Quayles of 5786 S. W. 31st Street, with sons Billy and Bruce are doing a magnificent job of building a log cabin by hand down South Miami way on some ten acres. Billy tells us they have only four more logs to go before completing the family project! A nice feeling to know the pioneering instinct still lives in some of this American blood. We are eager beavers to start snooping around it one of these days. Daddy Quayle returned from two and a half years of service with the United States Navy in December 1945. If all of our young men and women had more of the spirit of the Quayles, perhaps the housing shortage wouldn't be so acute—Nice going, Kids! Before the Storm The above was obviously written before the glass on the solar systems started to fly! Our deadline was noon of the Big Day, but with the eavesdropper turned into the "bark" might not be able to compete with such rivalry. We were clamoring to see what discomforts our neighbors endured outside of the customary flying grapefruits, floored hibiscus, large pine limbs and various up-rootings of shrubs. Instead of the usual complaints of no lights, no refrigeration, we found so many veterans of these "blows" casually sitting around discussing their vacations. Visited Relatives Mrs. Ernest Duhainme of 5784 S. W. 30th Street had dropped in to see Mrs. Benjamin MacMahon and this eavesdropper learned that the Duhaime family had just returned from their vacation visiting relatives "up north". They spent a few days at Breezy Point, Maryland where Ernie's sister, Marguerite, had a summer cottage and then traveled on to a small Pennsylvania village where Rita's father lives. The remainder of the vacation was enjoyed at the Smokey Mountain Club in Weaversville, N. C. where they enjoyed the company of many local friends. Joining in the vacational chatter Mrs. MacMahon related what an exciting six weeks trip she and her son, Bib, had travelling through Mexico, California, Utah and other mountainous states—She renewed acquaintances with many old friends in Los Angeles, her former home. See you next week neighbors—Any barks? Call 48-3405.

Gables Man Gets 'Baptism' On RR Board

Richard A. Mack of Coral Gables, first south Florida man to sit on the Railroad and Public Utilities Commission, got his baptism of fire in the hotly contested hearing on the alleged shortcomings of the Apopka telephone exchange. Mack was sworn in by Governor Caldwell, the first time in this Administration that the Governor has taken such a part. Mack was appointed by Caldwell to fill the seat left vacant on the Commission by the August death of Chairman W. B. Douglass. Wilbur C. King, acting chairman of the Commission, said the next major hearing will be in Tallahassee October 7, when some 60 bus companies of the State will present their defenses to Commission charges of failure to keep schedules, failure to provide enough seating space, lack of sanitary waiting room facilities and other deficiencies in travel accommodation. Mack, a 38-year-old war veteran and former employee of a real company at Port Everglades, said he plans to move his family to Tallahassee as soon as he can find a house. His wife, daughter of the founder of the Tampa Tribune, attended Florida State College for Women and has many friends among the townspeople.

Ponce Key Clubbers Seek to Bolster Library at School

If you see a Key Club boy from Ponce de Leon High School, carrying a foot-high stack of books, don't think his teachers are giving him too much homework. He's just helping the History Department at Ponce increase its library of histories and biographies. The Junior Kiwanians have launched a city-wide drive to collect books. "Lots of peole have volumes around the house that are gathering dust while Ponce's Library goes begging," the Key Clubbers state. Gableites with books they'd like to contribute are asked to call 48-6464 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Marine Corps Ends Gables Recruit Drive

Staff Sgt. Jack L. Hodge, local Marine recruiter announced today that his office would discontinue sending a Marine recruiting sergeant to the Coral Gables Post Office. The service had been maintained in the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month and Hodge explained that in an effort to further expand recruiting facilities in South Florida, those days would be used to visit towns farther away from Miami. The sergeant added that his office in Room 228 of the Miami Post Office is open from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p. m., Monday through Friday, for the purpose of interviewing and accepting applicants for enlistment in the United States Marine Corps. In concluding his announcement, Sergeant Hodge drew attention to two recent changes in regulations. The first stipulates that only 17-year-old applicants now need furnish written consent of parents or guardian prior to enlisting. The other now authorizes commanding officers of recruit battalions to advance a Marine to the rank of private first class upon satisfactory completion of recruit training.
