Lack of Food Prompts Greek Communism Former Gables Writer from Athens

For Greeks who have turned Communist have done so with the fatalistic philosophy that they were not getting enough to eat and that they might as well join with Russia or starve to death, according to a report received today from Mrs. Marie Gilmore, a former Coral Gables resident now living in Greece and connected with the American Mission for aid to Greece. She says that she has visited few places outside of Athens because the guerrillas are fighting within 12 miles of the city and that it is unsafe to go near their territory. Poverty Rife Mrs. Gilmore writes that most of the Greeks are very poor and that their diet consists mainly of bread, olive oil, and macaroni. The average wage for a day's labor is 1,000 drachmas which is equivalent to a little more than a dollar in American currency. Although most of the people are extremely poor some are wealthy. The wealthy consist of less than one per cent of the population and all are self-made. Very little of wealth is inherited for a person could have everything one year and nothing the next because of the chaotic conditions of the country, Mrs. Gilmore said. Used As Front The American said that the American Mission is striving to help the Greek people but that the Greek government uses the mission as a front for everything and that they were constantly running into bottlenecks. About two weeks ago an earthquake shook Athens and Mrs. Gilmore reported that it was one of the queerest sensations she has ever experienced. She thought she was dizzy when she first saw the floors moving and the light fixtures swaying. All members of the American Mission are anticipating having to take shots to prevent the spread of the cholera epidemic which is ravaging Egypt. People in Alexandria and Cairo are dying by the hundreds every day, according to Mrs. Gilmore, and all ships and planes leaving the stricken area come in to Pyreaus which is near Athens. She reports that they are already innoculating the workmen on the docks. Many of the buildings are riddled with bullets from the war and the mountainsides are barren of trees, but Mrs. Gilmore states there is still something beautiful about it. She says there is no fuel for heat this winter and that it is already getting cold. The former Gableite wrote that they have hot water on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 7 until 9 a.m. and that with no heat at all and little hot water she expects to shiver from now until spring. Mrs. Gilmore learned of the Florida hurricanes from friends who wrote her about them for where she is located they have no newspapers or radios. The only magazines they receive are the Readers Digest and Time, and these many weeks after publication. She said she was relieved to learn that the damage toll in South Florida was not too heavy. The former Coral Gables resident says that she is homesick and that the United States will look mighty good to her but that it will be a long time before she can come home.

Martin Branner Got Started As Dancer in Vaudeville

In the second week of its existence, that Valhalla of Vaudeville, the Palace Theatre in New York City, included in the bill an act called Martin and Fabrini. The first half of this whirlwind dance team was Martin Michael Branner, creator-to-be of Winnie Winkle, the popular comic which appears in The Daily Riviera-Times. "I was born in New York," says Mike (as Branner is called by his intimates), "near the end of the horse and buggy era. After skinning through public and high schools on my ability to draw funny pictures, I entered my father's business at his request. Here I filled one journal and two ledgers with comic pictures before I was fired and end both my own and my father's request My dad objected to my following a career of art, so in deference to his wish, I have never studied art." Eloped With Actress "At the age of eighteen I eloped with a child actress (Miss Fabrini), married her and went on the stage. For fifteen years I played in stock, repetolre, musical comedy, and finally wound up a headliner in vaudeville. After dancing my way over the Keith and Orpheum circuits for many years, movies started moving into the theatres and I decided to move out. "I had read about the millions of dollars made by cartoonists and had seen pictures of them on their yachts, being driven in their limousines and posing with their children in their palatial mansions. I decided to become a cartoonist." Looie Is Born Gradually he evolved a comic strip—called Looie the Lawyer. He sold it to a newspaper syndicate. Looie slid along for a year and then he sold a Sunday page called Pete and Pinto to the old New York Herald. Next came an offer from the Chicago Tribune, a conference, and the birth of Winnie Winkle, the comic strip career of the former dancer. And Branner swapped the show business for a gilt-edged comic strip. As Branner puts it: "After a couple of years struggle I made it. Today I own a rowboat, drive my own 1935 car, I don't have to borrow the neighbor's children to pose in front of my own modest home and I just manage to keep one jump ahead of my sheriff. Doesn't Use Head "I have made my living with my hands and feet, which explodes the old theory—'Use you head.'" Winnie Winkle revolves around the amusing incidents in the business, home and social life of a modern working girl—who needs no help from heaven or anywhere else. In 25 years she has never worn the same dress twice! Branner studies Paris fashions with the fidelity of a dress designer. Often he is asked for the pattern of a hat or frock worn by Winnie. He has even been offered a job with a slick-fashion mag. Besides the well-dressed heroine, the Branner pen drips varied characters on to the American scene. The group numbers Winnie's constant stream of male admirers (though married and the mother of twins), Bill, her husband, was lost during the war (it is always Branner's prerogative to resurrect him) and Winnie is again attracting several admirers. Then there are the girls—from the neck-and-neck variety to the pudgy-legged Daisy Drip — who make up her business associates; Winnie's father, Rip, the knight of the Rocking Chair; and Perry, her angel-faced and impish little brother.

Change to Gas Station Okayed

A temporary permit to reconvert the property now used by Alice R. Lanni as a real estate office to a filling station was given, Tuesday night, by the city commission. The building, used as a station before the war, is located on Alhambra Circle behind the Presbyterian Church. The request had previously been disapproved by the zoning board when several property owners and members of the church congregation objected to the plea. Roscoe Brunstetter appeared in behalf of Mrs. Lanni and told commissioners that his client could get $8,000 more from the sale of the property if a station were permitted to operate there. Commissioner Frank N. Holley Jr. cast a dissenting vote.

STRANGE NAMES

Xmas Lights And Trimmings Here for Holidays

Arrival of 15,000 feet of wire, 3,500 colored lamps and sockets which will turn the Coral Gables business section into a twinkling Christmas city, was reported today by E. D. Rogers, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Christmas committee. The new material will be added to that already on hand for a total of 27,000 feet of lighting equipment to be installed on Ponce de Leon Boulevard and Coral Way. Installation of the wire and bulbs will begin as soon as possible so that the complete set-up will be ready to turn on when the Christmas season arrives. Rogers is expected to call a meeting of his committee in the near future to complete plans for a Santa Claus parade and other events slated for the Yuletide observance.

Linale's Opus Selected for Concert Nov. 18

"Poeme pour Hautbois" by Frank Linale has been selected by the J. P. Riddle Foundation as the original composition to be played by the Coral Gables Philharmonic Orchestra in its concert, Nov. 18, it was announced today. The work is written as a solo for an oboe with accompaniment by an all-string orchestra. Miss Charlotte Amidno will be the oboe soloist. Linale's work has previously appeared on a Philharmonic program. In September the orchestra, under the direction of Oliver Washburn, performed his "Etude for Orchestra." "On that same concert Miss Amidon was the principal soloist, and Mr. Linale was so intrigued with her brilliant talent on the instrument and her poetic interpretation that he has now written 'Poeme pour Hautbois' for her, and dedicated it to her," Washburn said today.

Spur Track Okayed

Approval for the construction of a spur track, connecting the Protect-u Awning plant and adjoining buildings on Ponce de Leon Blvd. with the FEC railroad was given Tuesday night by the city commission. The buildings are located in the industrial area. Charles Miller, operator of the awning-shutter company and R. E. Bolick of the FEC railroad appeared to make the request.

Cold Eyes of Six-Foot Rattler Keep Harmony in Sigma Alpha Mu

The cold, evil eyes of a giant rattler were on Miami University students when they entered the chemistry laboratory today, but nobody's worried. Thanks to the exploit of two intrepid members of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, the snake is being pickled—and preserved for the eternal praises of posterity. The two students, Steve Haber, 19 and Bill Grant, 20, were returning from the Miami International Airport Saturday afternoon when they noticed a commotion in a field just off LeJeune road. A crowd, which Haber and Grant estimated at 50 persons, threw sticks, stones and less practical missiles at the deadly diamond-back—all the while maintaining a discreet distance from Mr. Rattler's menacing fangs. An unnamed workman administered the telling blow by running over the snake with his trac[?] and then the two students moved in for the kill. Displaying their prize at the Riviera-Times office shortly afterwards, Haber's only comment was, 'Gee! I hope he's dead!" He was.
