Who Is Free?

Just as Britain was giving political independence to India she was restricting the economic freedom of her own subjects. But freedom goes deeper than either politics or economics. No subject of the new Dominions can be free to vote for the best interests of India or Pakistan if his vote is "controlled" by his own fear, or greed, or prejudice. No man can do his best for the economic recovery of England if he chooses his job through greed or fear, changes it because of resentment, or lets fear, greed or prejudice restrain his hand in any work that he may do. Fear, greed and prejudice are moral, not political or economic issues. They can be dealt with only in the moral realm. India will find no political freedom and Britain will recover no economic freedom till both are morally free. You get no moral freedom, in turn, till you get religious freedom. This may be freedom to worship God in any way you choose. But it cannot be freedom to worship any God you choose. Substitute Mammon for God and fear, greed or prejudice creeps back to corrupt your vote on national affairs and to rob your work of its full value to the national economy. India will realize political freedom only if her statesmen give her the right leadership under the guidance of God and her people respond with inspired obedience. Britain will recover and regain her economic freedom only when her leaders and her people turn to God to gain release from fear, prejudice and greed, and thus find freedom to give their best in every coal mine, farm and steel mill. America can help them both—a free leader of the free—only if she makes "In God We Trust" her way of life, living out in her own land the motto on the money that she lends to other nations.

Editor Riviera-Times: The good news about converting the Riviera-Times into a daily comes with delight. If there is anything we might do in your behalf, we stand ready to serve. With wishes for continued success, Very sincerely yours, George McNeill Ray, Pastor Coconut Grove Baptist Church Editor Riviera-Times: I'm pleased to note by the current Editor and Publisher that you are going daily soon. Congratulations. Sincerely, Andrew Bernhard Managing Editor Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Editor Riviera-Times: The Ray Renuart Post V F W joins other organizations of Coral Gables in conveying congratulations to the Riviera-Times. Its advent as a daily paper is the forerunner of a larger and more prosperous city. We feel that this community has been fortunate that it has had a weekly publication with an exceptionally broad courage of its convictions and a fearlessness in carrying on to a successful conclusion. During its existence it has steadily fought for a continuance of the structural beauty of the city. It has kept fresh in the minds of the public the ideals and plans of the city's founder. The new Riviera-Times with its old ideals will be successful. Best of luck. Sincerely yours, Wallace E. Hackett Commander Editor Riviera-Times: You are to be congratulated on the improvements to your paper during the past year and a half, some of which are the change of name, style and coverage. Now that it is to become a daily, it should be a real city paper. We look forward to receiving each copy, and are particularly interested in the enormous amount of new building, sales and the many new names appearing in print, even though it makes us feel like strangers to Coral Gables. Sincerely, H. B. Jackson Madisonville, Ky.

OUR TOWN! Slicker Sticker By Jim Moore

I was driving down the street with Bracey Richardson the other day when he happened to notice my new Coral Gables inspection sticker over in the left corner of the windshield. "Don't you think that Coral Gables is missing a good advertising bet by turning out such a mediocre sticker?" he asked. Wouldn't a nice decal in several colors, showing the Venetian Pool or the City Hall, with the name "Coral Gables" prominently displayed, serve a double purpose of advertising the city as well as an inspection sticker?" Now I'd never thought much about that before. I'd always taken the inspection sticker as something for JIM MOORE granted and let it go at that. But why shouldn't it be a nice looking decal that would plug the name of our town? The next inspection period comes up on April 15 and will last through the summer. Now if we had a handsome sticker with Coral Gables popping right out at you, it should get a lot of circulation. Think of the large percentage of the 7,000 cars which will bear the stickers that will be traveling all over the United States next summer. An awful lot of people all over the country would be bound to see it if it was properly designed. I asked Lieutenant Floyd Brasher of the traffic division about it and he told me that he'd considered the idea this time. However when he asked the price and discovered that the seals would cost about $350 he abandoned the idea as being too expensive. I'll agree that 350 bucks is a little steep for just car inspection stickers but if you can get a whole lot of advertising for Coral Gables at the same time, it's downright cheap. We've got six months until the next inspection period rolls around, so why not give the idea a little thought. Perhaps the Chamber of Commerce advertising committee could work something out with the police department on the mattter. Let's not miss any opportunity to plug this town of ours.

FROM A RIVIERA NOTEBOOK By Mary Helm Clarke

AN ATOM OF AN ATOM WORLD On Sunday, October 5, 1947, Coral Gables Churches will join Protestant Christendom in thousands of Churches on every continent in the observance of WORLD WIDE COMMUNION SUNDAY. The Riviera Notebook quotes from a volume found in the library of the George Batchellers on Sunset Road. The lines are timely and immortal. "Man is but an atom of an atom world. The immensity of God's Kingdom and Government; the unknown realities of the coming world; the infinitely varied works of creation; the being and perfection of God; and what man is to himself as a conscious being — these are objects which call for the utmost exertion of all our intellectual powers. — But the disease of our race seems to be stupidity. Many, too many, plod on through life thinking only of the present." This quotation is from a book entitled: COMPEND OF HISTORY from the EARLIEST TIMES comprehending a general view of the PRESENT STATE OF THE WORLD with respect to CIVILIZATION, RELIGION, and GOVERNMENT and A BRIEF DISSERTATION ON THE IMPORTANCE OF HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE. It is a text book written by Samuel Whelpley, published in Boston in 1821. 1821 — the year when Napoleon died — the year that our United States admitted Missouri into the Union and purchased Florida from Spain. The challenge presented to the young student at Amherst, who first owned the small leather-bound volume, was still vital more than a hundred years later when discovered by her great, great, grandchildren, Betty, Edith and Mary Ann Batcheller. It is presented again, October 5, 1947, as a timely subject for World Wide Communion and Meditation. "Man is but an atom of an atom world."

A Bird Says Here

Ed Roberts picked up the phone over at his real estate office this week and was surprised to hear a voice say, "Gimme two to win on Fragispan in the third at Belmont". Informing his caller that he obviously had the wrong number, he hung up and returned to his list of realty prospects only to have the phone ring again and a husky voiced caller ask. "Who win the second at Narragansett?" That was only the beginning. All day long the phone kept ringing. Ed's ears were buzzing with place bets at Garden State, requests for late scratches and two bucks on the nose at Hawthorne. Finally Ed called the phone company and explained that his line must have become crossed with some well-known bookie and that if it wasn't repaired immediately, he'd just take the bets and let the unknown book maker take the rap when no pay-off was forthcoming. It was repaired pronto. Here's best wishes to Mrs. Harry Rath, who is recuperating from a serious eye operation performed this week . . . Lucien Renuart, the international president of the Optimist Club was a guest of brother Denis at the Kiwanis luncheon on Tuesday . . . Ed and Rae Keating left Wednesday for a vacation in New York. Ed says that the United Nations at Lake Success will have to solve their problems without him as there are several shows, night clubs and a World Series that will be occupying his time . . . Jim Helm is back in town after a few weeks in the Big Smokey region of North Carolina. Our Walhalla, S. C. correspondent reports that Warren Lehman was a visitor in town last week. The Lehmans are expected home this week-end after a summer spent in Scaly, N. C. . . . H. B. Jackson, the former director of finance writes from Kentucky that the papers in that area are taking much delight in writing up our recent Hurricane. "One editor did tell me," he reports, "confidentially that he was informed that the damage in the Miami area was no worse than in 1945. I still think in terms of money, although I don't handle much of it, so I am wondering how much it is going to cost the city." Col. and Mrs. John Doyle Carmody post-card from Saratoga Springs that they were forced to leave the White Mountains because of rain, wind and cold and that it is not much better there. "Florida, no matter what, is the place to live," they state . . . Get Capt. Bill Davies to tell you his story about the man at Monte Carlo and the red headed gal . . . We wonder when they're going to get a new awning over at the auto inspection station. That present one is really done for . . . And incidentally, a prisoner who was helping scrape off old stickers got tossed back in the pokey when police learned that he was being discourteous to motorists . . . The Ring Theater was completely booked for the season, one hour and 15 minutes after the box office opened . . . Via postcard we learn that Richard Fandry wired home that he is being transferred from Mackinac Island, Mich. to Groton, Conn. where he will attend "motor mac's" school for 16 weeks. Dick wrote that he will surely miss seeing Ponce play football this year. Here's a new gag that Leland Shepard picked up somewhere and published in this week's Rotary Club bulletin. Multiply your age by 2 and add 5 to the result. Then multiply by 50. Add the change of less than a dollar in your pocket. Then add 115 for good measure. The two left hand figures will show your age, and the right hand figures will show the amount of change in your pocket. Right? Back in the gay 20's Coral Gables was a husky youngster gaining world wide fame as America's most beautiful city. One of the men who helped tell the world about Coral Gables was Al Gillette. Al composed the Coral Gables Pep Song which was quite popular back in the "good old days" of trolley cars on the streets, gondolas on the waterways, William Jennings Bryan at the Venetian Pool and Jan Garber at the Country Club. Al was a visitor to Coral Gables last Friday and attended the meeting of our local Rotary Club, joining Steve Gibbs in leading the club siging of his song. He has been living in Madison, Wis. for the last 20 years but has recently returned to Miami where he is connected with the Chamber of Commerce.

Strictly Fresh

Scientists are studying effects of atom bomb radiations on heredity. One effect that seems to be overlooked is that too much of one might eliminate the other. A St. Louis judge ruled it legal for a wife to rifle her husband's pockets while he sleeps. Apparently the only recourse is to keep your late hours at home. This is the season when you sometimes wish for the weather you had when you were wishing for the weather you have. An attorney named Hoover Taft was elected president of the North Carolina Young Democrats. Everything considered, that chap missed his calling by not working among handicapped persons. A chambermaid strike at a Philadelphia hotel left beds unmade. As far as guests were concerned, the issue was "You lay in your bed, now make it." It's New England sea serpent time again. A Medford, Mass., piano tuner claims he saw the famed Scottish Loch Ness serpent off Lynn Beach, Mass. Over in these waters, no doubt, because of Britain's austerity regulations.
