Boxing Board For Gables Is Advocated Coliseum Plans Gain Approval Of Zoning Board

(Continued from Page One) the City Commission for all activities conducted there. In addition to ring shows, Peeples indicated that the University of Miami will have first call on the Coliseum for basketball and Intercollegiate boxing shows. Hart Morris, representing the University, endorsed the move and said it would stimulate an interest in basketball in the Miami area. Five Other Activities Named Peeples added that arrangements are being made to have major high school basketball games, wrestling, ice shows, professional tennis matches and possibly University dances held in the palestra. Later he suggested that the 1948 American Legion National convention could be invited to use its facilities and added that it will be open to any civic and fraternal groups who might wish to hold events. "It appears," Peeples commented "that we will have a full program. The University turnouts will feature the amateur attraction. We plan to restrict professional boxing to one monthly high class show which will attract a capacity crowd of 10,000, and special events such as the ice shows and tennis matches should draw well." Only the City Commission's ratification of the Zoning Board recommendation remains before Peeples places orders for an estimated $25,000 worth of essential equipment. No Action on Graziano Although there is little possibility of the controversial Rocky Graziano-Tony Zale being held at the Coliseum due to limited seating for such an attraction, Post 98 did not take any action Wednesday on an earlier recommendation by the Sarasota post which resolved to have the match banned in Florida. The Miami boxing commission may bar the match for lack of a veteran's group sponsorship, required by state law, and if the Gables post vetoes the promotion by Miami Beach restauranteur Harry Voiler, that will virtually close the door on possibilities of staging the Feb. 12 match in this area.

S. R. JONES Harvey J. Breeding, general manager of the Breeding's Drug Stores has announced the appointment of S. R. Jones as sales promotional and advertising manager. Jones, well known in the advertising and sales analysis field, came to Florida in 1946 from Chicago to test the east coast climate and became so impressed with the continuity of the year around temperature that he is now a permanent Floridian.

Gables Man Promoted by Pan-American

Robert M. Evans, 4601 Riviera Drive, who joined Pan American World Airways as a traffic clerk in New York 10 years ago, has been appointed assistant superintendent of stations for the Latin American Division. Transferred to Panama early in 1938, Evans was first in charge of mail there. After working by turns in reservations and traffic, he was made head of PAA's traffic unit at France Field, Cristobal, Canal Zone. In June, 1941, Evans was appointed junior airport manager at Turbo, Colombia, and six months later became airport manager at Brownsville, Tex. At the end of the year he returned to Balboa as airport manager and in 1944 was promoted to section superintendent of the Panama section and the north coast of South America.

Plans for New School Are Described

(Continued from Page One) facilities being incorporated in the plans. Future Plans Told William Merriam, designer of the main structure, and Lawrence Camp, assistant to School Architect August Geiger, pointed out that although construction of an assembly hall must be postponed, master plans for the school include a completely equipped gymnasium and a sound proofed band-practice building separate from the main school. Tiled science labs providing most up-to-date facilities available will await future Gables students in addition well ventilated, expertly lighted classrooms. Outstanding luxury feature of the school will be an air conditioned "little theatre" for audio-visual instruction. The small hall, with a seating capacity of 120, will be arranged like a theatre in miniature and will include a motion picture projection room and a work lab where camera students will repair, develop and store films. A sound-proofed second floor choral room and a library capable of accommodating 250 scholars also are in the blueprints, Merriam and Camp told the audience. Loyd Vann and John Lyell, architects assigned to draw plans for the cafeteria, said that the dining hall will seat 720 lunchers at one time and might easily be pressed into service as a temporary auditorium. The cafeteria, which opens onto a spacious out-of-doors patio, will be furnished with deep-freeze units, electrically refrigerated storage rooms, tile counters, walls and drain boards and modern hotel-type cooking ranges, steam tables, and dishwashers. Principal Harry Rath, introduced by Mrs. Ralph Woodmansee, program chairman for the evening, seconded a plea by Henderson for an increase to taxes to finance Dade County's $12,000,000 school building program. "Dade Countians, who appear to have no qualms about spending money for bathing beauty contests, have no excuse for a pinch-penny attitude toward educational facilities for their children," he said. "A two-mill tax increase would assure completion of the school expansion program by 1951 and would eliminate for all time recurrence of the desperate situation facing us today," the principal added.

Weird Noises During Storm Arouse Schenley Parkites

By PEGGY GORDON Riviera-Times Correspondent One would almost think the Head Master had ordered a truce from the "dampish days" from the appearance of all the big white and little white flags hanging upon the clothes lines throughout our community the Sunday after leetle hurricane number II. It was a comforting sight to see ole Sol smiling down upon their rippling sails at last! Instead of an Ark, however, Schenley Park was just about to send out an S. O. S. for an inventor of an electrical bathing suit (not shocking) but having just enough current to keep dry for comfortable body temperature! Frightened Residents Some of the weirdest howls and screams emerging from a neighborhood house the Big Night proved to be a very frightened baby sitter who at one of the major claps of thunder and lightening ran shrieking out of the house leaving her four charges, the Kelleys, ranging from 9 months to six years a trifle unchaperoned. Being a mite disturbed themselves, they set up a beautiful demonstration of an off key chorus. The neighbors were not too sure that a few of the witches of yore had not descended along with the heavenly reverbations! But to show how brave one neighbor can be, Ernie Duhaine ventured forth to inspect the raucus and very kindly calmed the Kelley domicile and sat it out with the kids. Soooo, to her comfort, Mr. and Mrs. Kelley returned shortly and needless to say with much gratitude. They announce the expected purchase of a great dane which may give reassurance under a similar circumstance or, to my mind, add, perhaps, an unusual tone to the Kelley quartet! Loyal Parkites Mrs. Hartwell Hunter took time to bake a chocolate birthday cake for her husband despite the rumored storm and the day after invited us in for a quiet celebration and chit-chat. The comments, of course, included our good fortune in being on high ground and Mrs. Hunter remarked upon the exquisite beauty that the rains brought the little park which is such a joy to the youn 'uns and their mas for picnics and strolls. It showed the only evidence out here of the floods. Because it is located in a tiny valley, the waters that arose formed a small lake which rather looked like one of nature's masterpieces-increasing the beauty rather than spoiling it. To show how loyal Parkites are, Mrs. Merrihew, the second oldest resident in Schenly Park, and whose resident is not on the flood sheet, commented that despite it all-there was no place else in the world she and her husband, Jim, would ever want to live. Unusual Party Mrs. M. D. Barefield, 5778 Devonshire Boulevard issued a very unusual invitation to her several neighbors to come to a morning party sponsored by a particular home products company. It was with a good deal of the proverbial female curiosity that this correspondent accepted the invitation. Our only obligation it was understood was to have a good time. Which we certainly did! After the customary introductions, we were all presented with a gift and found ourselves entering into a party game of drawing with our eyes closed a cat on a picket fence! Mrs. Daniel Greene won the artistic laurels and a prize. Then before we knew it we were all being highly entertained by the instigator of this party, a spontaneous and delightful little personality by the name of Mrs. Lillian Connally. Instead of what would commonly be called a demonstration of household products, it had more the appearance of a private magician show by which we were tremendously bemused with items that apparently vanished many of the several ills of housekeeping. Needless to say, we all came away with easier methods of getting out of the drudgery but mostly with a genial spirit of being highly entertained and a delightful morning of sociability with several neighbors. Among those present were: Mrs. Zellah V. Holmes, Mrs. Daniel R. Greene, Mrs. Drummond, Mrs. Daniel J. Welch and Mrs. Wm. J. Landers all of Devonshire Boulevard and Mrs. Jim S. Merrihew of 2916 S.W. 5th Ct. Building Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Landers, newcomers to Schenley Park, from Flint Michigan have just closed the deal on a lot situated on Red Road between Devonshire Boulevard and 30th St. and eagerly anticipate beginning the construction of their new home which she told us would be built in six weeks!

High Water Closes Trail Establishment

To safeguard the health of their patrons, Val Ryals, manager of the H. and V. Club announced late yesterday afternoon that the establishment would close until high waters have subsided. The club is located on Tamiami Trail near the edge of the Glades. The announcement came after pages carrying H. and V. advertising and a story stating that the club would be open, had been closed in the composing room.

Mrs. Higgins Named Soloist For Philharmonic Concert

Mrs. Clyde Higgins, soprano, has been named soloist for the next concert of the Coral Gables Philharmonic Orchestra according to an announcement made today by Oliver P. Washburn, conductor. The concert will be presented Tuesday, October 28 at the Country Club of Coral Gables. Well Known Mrs. Higgins is well known in South Florida for her many appearances in concert. At the present time she is soloist for the Coral Gables Methodist Church. A native of Ohio, where she sang extensively in radio and concert, Mrs. Higgins came here 12 years ago. For her principal solo she has chosen "Elsa's Dream" from Richard Wagner's opera "Lohengrin". Other selection to be sung include "Ciannina Mia" from "The Firefly" by Rudolph Friml, and Schubert's "Serenade". Composition Selected The selection of the J. P. Riddle Foundation for Orchestral Composition for this concert is "Serenata Espanola" by Dmitri Shmuklovsky. The Foundation had previously selected his "Danse Espagnole" for the performance in June of this year. At present an instructor at the University of Miami, Shmuklovsky has written many text books for the contra bass. The composer has treated this current composition as a trombone solo with orchestral accompaniment.
