Universal History Seen Promoting Understanding

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY (UP)—A project to compile in one or two volumes the story of every nation of the world as told by its own representative has been made by Endre Hevesi, editor of the weekly foreign policy organ, Uj Magyarorszag. He thinks such a book would further international understanding. Every nation would tell in not more than five or six pages and in many photographs what is its way of life, its ideals, its accomplishments and the role it is willing to play in world co-operation. The writers and photographers would be chosen in every country in a nationwide contest handled by one of its outstanding newspapers. The book would be translated into every language and published in every country by the newspaper that handles the contest. Small nations unable to finance the publication would be assisted by the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). The 1946 financial statement of the University of Florida lists the value of the stadium at $70,225 field, with lighting facilities at $241,000.

These are two of the booths, designed by local architects, for the VFW sponsored “Fiesta del Sol” which opens here for two nights on December 12. Howard Knight designed the upper booth while Robert Little presented the sketch for the lower one.

American Housewife Turns Out to be Among Nation’s Leading Grain Speculators

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN UP Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. (UP) The ladies (bless ‘em, and are you listening, President Truman?) turn out to be among America’s leading grain speculators. Many of the housewives who go shopping for a package of bobby pins, a half pound of butter, two spools of thread and—oh yes—May wheat on margin. There are more women than grain merchants among the razzle-dazzle of the Chicago Board of Trade. They’re playing the commodity market as though it were OTHMAN bridge at a quarter cent a point. The female who looks like she’s buying in the grocer’s for a package of corn flakes probably isn’t. She’s on the way to her broker’s to order March rye. Speculators Denounced President Truman, as you know, for months has been denouncing grain speculators, blaming them with hoisting the price of food. So a joint economic committee of congress called in his experts to find out they intended to do about the grain gamblers. Number one was J. M. Mehl, commodity exchange administrator. He said first you had to know who they were. He knows. He asked 622 brokerage houses to tabulate their customers on one particular day. This was quite a chore, but they finally came up with the names, for Sept. 17. On that day—one single day, mind you and one single grain exchange—306 housewives bought and sold 11,112,000 bushels of grain. That wasn’t quite so much as the men did, but it was close. On that same day less than half as many professional grain merchants on the Chicago Board of Trade did about a third that much business. Everybody Gambling Everybody, seemed like, was gambling, in corn and wheat, Mehl said. Six preachers on that historic day in September bought and sold 62,000 bushels of futures. Six household servants, including butlers and parlor maids, proved once again that domestics are in the big money. They bought twice as much grain as the clergymen. Mehl listed all the gamblers: stenographers, butchers, barbers, judges, actors, artists, chiropractors dentists, newspaper reporters (not Othman, Mr. Truman), nurses, pharmacists, school teachers and real estate agents. The thing to do, Mehl added, is pass a law forcing ‘em to pay at least half cash for their speculative orders. That, he said, should curb them. Some, And “fever” was the word he used. Protecting Fools Are you trying to protect fools from their folly? asked Rep. Ralph E. Flanders of Vermont, “or is there some broader reason?” Mehl said it was the other way round; he was trying to protect the market from the fools. “I thought what we wanted was a depression in grain prices,” observed Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, the chairman. “Yes, but not from the 50th floor to the sub-basement,” retorted Mehl. “And that’s what happens when speculation gets out of hand.” The gentleman from Ohio, looking particularly ruddy-faced since his presidential campaign tour, had another question: Could Mehl show and evidence that the speculators, including the feverish ladies, had boosted the price of wheat? Mehl said he couldn’t. But he bet they kept the price from going down. There you are, Mr. President and ladies. Some members of the sen-rep committee are burning about the high cost of living even betting on Sept. 17 that it would go higher still. It did. No telling what their profits were.

Radar on Harbor Tug Beats N. Y. Fog

NEW YORK (UP)—Radar has come to the tugboat in New York Harbor. To date, only one tug has been equipped with radar, but its experiments may lead to others being fitted out. Possibly ferries soon may grope their way without interruption through dense fogs, where once they were afraid to put out from the dock or occasionally became lost if they did cast off. The one tug that has been equipped is being operated jointly by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad. While the whole harbor was wrapped in fog, with ships big and small remaining helplessly at their moorings, the tug shuttled from point to point, moving 240 care of freight on barges which otherwise would have been tied up.

Trailer Park Filling Up As Winter Visitors Arrive

CORAL LAKE NEWS By VERA BARNES Riviera-Times Correspondent Between the winter season visitors, and the racing crowd, the Coral Lake Park is really filling up. It won’t be long before every lot will be occupied, and the winter rush will begin again. Among the newcomers are Mr. and Mrs. B. V. Hunt and their two children of Pontiac, Mich.; Mr. and Mrs. Jack Watson and their two children of Gramburg, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Faler, of Hammond, Ind.; Hugh McClain of Florida; and Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hicks of Chillicothe, Ill. These folks are all just winter visitors. Among those here for the racing season are Mr. and Mrs. Seber and their son Gary, of Chicago, Ill. Mr. Saxer is a horse trainer. Then there are George Alsup, of New Bedford, accompanied by his wife and two children; Allen Tipton of Oglesby, Ill.; and Alex Philip of Cleveland, Ohio. All these gentlemen are horse trainers also. Doc. and Mrs. Brown are down for the winter season. Doc. Brown is one of the owners of the Park, and is vacationing at the Ocean Ranch Villa, somewhere near Brickell Drive. Here, too, are Mr. and Mrs. Ed Seybold of Wichita, Kans. Seybold owns some horses as well as being a trainer. Returnees “Doc” and Sam Weir, uncle and nephew respectively, are back in their trailer, now that the flood waters have receded. Doc came knocking on our door the other evening and wanted to know if he could use our stove to finish his supper. Doc is chief cook and bottle washer in their household, and their electric plate had picked a very inopportune time to burn out. And Doc was in the midst of fried pork chops. We were only too glad to oblige, and in 10 minutes their meal was finished, and Doc’s reputation as cook was saved. That’s the big advantage of living in a Trailer Park, your neighbors are so close, and if one doesn’t have what you need, the next one will. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Wagener and their children are also back in the camp. Sick Call Fred Wilkins is still on the sick list, but he’s getting along very nicely and can be discharged from the hospital almost any time. Fred is so anxious to get home to see that new son, but the doctors at Pratt have told him he’ll have to stay close to the hospital, and under no circumstances do they want him to spend a winter up north after the rough time he’s been having after his operation. Mabel Lewis reports that her young son Gary is feeling so much better after a bout with near pneumonia. It was a little hard on Mabel because she had to get up every three hours during the night to give Gary his penicillin. Her husband Lee, is very busy at an electrician’s job at Miami Beach. Mr. and Mrs. George Heath tell us that their five month old daughter was operated on at the Jackson Memorial Hospital last Thursday. The baby is doing fine, and Mrs. Heath’s twin sister and her husband are here visiting her and to help out if they can. Mrs. Troike has been ill in the hospital for a few days, but she’s home now, and feeling so much better. Christmas Plans Lynn and Jim Dixon are looking forward to the twentieth of this month, because they leave for home, New Jersey, on that day. They’re driving up to Jersey with another student, Ralph Verbocs, to spend the Christmas vacation with their folks. Carlton Johns is another student looking forward to spending Christmas vacation at home. His folks in Chicago, have just wired him to get reservations and they’ll make him a present of the ticket! Nice parents, huh? News Briefs Walter Hansen plans to spend the Thanksgiving week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hansen at Bradenton Beach, Fla. Mrs. Lou Haumacher tells us that her dad, Mr. Joseph Baranello, and her daughter, Miss Joan Mattson, have joined her permanently. Her dad hasn’t been too well, and she hopes the mild Florida weather will help him. Mrs. Clyde Pardue has her two daughters joining her for the winter season too. Gloria Meeker tells us that she plans to go home to Louisiana with her husband, Bob, for Christmas this year. Bob is a student, and they want to show off their nice new trailer in the home town. There’s an added attraction there too, because their six year old daughter, Candace is there with her grandmother. After a pleasant two weeks vacation, Mrs. DeLong has to return to her job at Whalen’s. She tells us it wasn’t too much of a vacation because she was busy all the time. Beauty Contest News We have two more aspirants to the Crown of Queen of the Trailercoach show. Gloria Meeker and Vickie Jones have entered the contest. May the best (wo)man win!!

LOWER NO MAN’S LAND Two Sets of Twins Would Confuse Anybody

By DOT THAGARD Riviera-Times Correspondent It was an afternoon of mistaken identities when Catharine and Camilla, cute, six year old identical twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Van Diviere of North Miami, visited the F. W. Keens, who are staying at 704 Avenue Obispo. With our identical twins making a confusing foursome, no one knew which — was doing what! Getting caught up in Wally Smith’s basketball practice was one of the highlights of the afternoon with Mrs. Van Diviere and yours truly doing rescue duty. Incidentally, Mrs Keen left Friday for Greenville, South Carolina to spend the Thanksgiving holidays with her daughter. During their North Carolina vacation this summer, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Stamm of 1651 S. W. 45th Avenue, were quite taken by the charms of a girls school in “them thar hills,” so now Joanne Stamm is attending Fassifern School in Hendersonville . . . and loving every minute of it. Mrs. Stamm just returned from a visit to the school, where she practically were herself out, taking a flock of sub-debs out every afternoon. She also reports Joanne is becoming quite an accomplished equestrienne. Tragic Accident Getting a first hand account of the tragic accident at the circus Wednesday night was our luck when Don Dutcher, (a relative of ours) who with the Sam Elcocks sat too close to the whole thing. The heroism of the father was greater than already reported as, after he broke the fall of the two from the wire, he climbed the rigging to pull to the platform his other two daughters who were looking down at their brother and sister and screaming with terror; then all three descended and ran off together. Ruth and Sherman Anderson, across the street, at 705 Obispo have a very nice vegetable garden and we are looking forward to sampling some of those fine tomatoes a little later . . . if those birds will just let them alone. If your youngsters ever decide to become artists and start to practice (as our embryonic Rembrandts did) on the outside walls of your house, by using leaves pressed between grubby little fingers, as their sketching implements, don’t be too disheartened, it can be removed with very fine sandpaper and elbow grease until it is almost obliterated. Of interest to our section (and also the Gables) is the announcement of Mr. and Mrs. George R. Walker, former No-Man Landers now living in the Gables, of the birth of their second daughter Sally Ann, born November 20th. The Walker’s older daughter Barbara Joan, who celebrated her seventh birthday anniversary on the 21st of November, said she really couldn’t have had a nicer birthday present. Sally Ann who tipped the scales at over nine pounds, was named for her paternal grandmother, Mrs. G. R. Walker, Sr. Have to get busy now, for, to every one else Thursday is Thanksgiving day . . . the feast day, but to us it is a very important wedding day.

Any honorably discharged veteran of World War II, regardless of whether he carried National Service Life Insurance while in the service, may apply to the Veterans Administration for the maximum $10,000 policy anytime prior to January 1, 1950.
