FROG HOLLOW NEWS Tantalizing Smells Signal Thanksgiving Celebrations

By MARY HICKEY Riviera-Times Correspondent "And a happy Thanksgiving Day to you!"-Everyone in Frog Hollow seems to have been "talking turkey" this past week, from the frozen food dealer who offered to sell us a half of a turkey (packaged especially for small families) to the youngsters ringing our doorbell to sell chances at ten cents apiece. The spicy aroma of pumpkin and mince wafted tantalizingly from many a kitchen window as we made our weekly tour of the Hollow to find out how some of our neighbors were planning to spend the holiday. The Harry Van Ripers of Sixtieth Court started off the holiday as guests at a Thanksgiving Eve Dance at the Coral Gables Country Club; Dr. and Mrs. George Coleman, and family, of Sixtieth Avenue will be on hand for the carving of the turkey at the home of Dr. Coleman's parents in Daytona Beach; Dr. and Mrs. Sidney G. Casell will be the guests of this writer today. Your correspondent's sister, Miss Roberta Brennan, who has been visiting here since last January, decided to return to the home of her parents in Trenton, New Jersey in time to join them for the cold North when will soon say coming back to Frog Hollow before too long to give all her many friends here an opportunity to say "I told you so!" Just about the nicest kind of Thanksgiving celebration we discovered was outlined by Mrs. J. C. Jackson, Jr. of 3925 S. W. 58th Court. Knowing that a number of her neighbors would be separated from their families by many miles at this time of family reunions, Mrs. Jackson found time in her busy days of caring for her two small youngsters, Tommie and Judith, to plan and organize a community Thanksgiving dinner. The Jackson home will be the scene of this festive meal and Mrs. Jackson will provide one of the other dishes necessary to complete the menu. Guests around the Jackson dinner table will include Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Valverde, Mr. and Mrs. E. Hugh McGough, and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Copley, all of 58th Court. We're sure they will enjoy the "Frog Hollow spirit" as much as they will the dinner! With so many festivities being planned, we were indeed sorry to learn that a number of our good neighbors were on the sick list and we hope that Kay Diestelhorst, the young Dumblefts children, and three-year-old Carol Haire will all be feeling chipper enough to do justice to their share of Mr. Gobbler today. Young Tippy Schmitt was also feeling decidedly "under the weather" this past week, but we understand that he is now up and around again and will be on hand to greet his Daddy with all of his old vigor-when Dr. Schmitt returns today from his trip to Philadelphia. Not Newcomers It has been our custom, since the initiation of this column, to call on the newcomers in the neighborhood to extend them a hearty welcome. This past week, however, we decided it was about time we caught up with some of the residents who have been here for awhile and introduce them to you, so we decided to drop in on the folks at 3790 S. W. 58th Court and make their acquaintance. Imagine our surprise, and delight, to discover that Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Edwards have been residents of Frog Hollow for the past twenty years! Mr. and Mrs. Edwards came here from Georgia right after they were married, and Mr. Edwards (better known to his many friends as "Cal") in addition to being one of the oldest residents of this area is also owner and operator of one of Coral Gables oldest garages, the Coral Gables Garage on Giralda Avenue. We had quite a chat with Mrs. Edwards and were happy to learn that both she and her husband were as enthusiastic about the growth of the Hollow as we were! We also learned that their older daughter, Mrs. R. H. Anders is also a Hollow resident, as she and her husband, together with their two children, Donnie, four years old, and Larry, who is one, reside at 6301 S. W. 38th Street. Running the Edwards a close second as original Frog Hollowites, is Mr. Edwards mother, Mrs. W. A. Edwards of 5806 S. W. 39th Street, who has been here for fifteen years. Mrs. Edward's home, familiar to all of us as a two-story white stucco building, was at one time a two-story house! In fact, the family purchased a two-story house but moved into a one-story one, as on the very day they were to move in, the building caught fire and the second story was completely destroyed! Another branch of the Edwards clan is represented by W. A. Edwards, Jr. who resides with his mother at the home on 38th Street. Mr. Edwards, Jr. who is familiar to many of us through his association with the Coral Gables police force, is the proud father of a son, born November 21st-and making the fourth generation of this family to call Frog Hollow home!

McCarty Helps Draft NEA Report On Moral Crisis

Special to the Riviera-Times WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Facing squarely what it terms the "moral crisis before us today," the National Education Association's Department of Elementary School Principals released today a 351-page report, "Spiritual Values in the Elementary School," directed toward perfecting the teaching of human values in the nation's elementary schools. Coral Gables is represented in the group which published the report by E. E. McCarty, Merrick Demonstration school, a member of the NEA Department of Elementary School Principals. Defining as "spiritual values" the group said it of responsibility to society, dignity of fellowmen, and broader sense of artistic and ethical appreciation, the report strives to inspire elementary schools to emphasize these values. The report, in the form of a practical case-book guide, is developed upon the theme that spiritual values, good or bad, are constantly being developed by the grammar school child. The elementary school must channel this development so that important spiritual values result. As a guide for educators, the following are cited as responsibilities of the school: (1) teachers and principal must be aware that some kind of learning is going on constantly either to build up or tear down spiritual values; (2) those responsible for the school must, therefore, develop an atmosphere that will "help the spirits of children to grow into something fine." Included are case histories of experiences and experiences of teachers in 20 states dealing with specific problems in the development of spiritual values.

GABLES GIVES THANKS AT CHURCH RITES

(Continued from Page One) J. Sutorius addressed the congregation on "The Sin of Ingratitude." At the Plymouth Congregational Church, in Coconut Grove, a special service was also held with Rev. David J. Davis speaking on "My Cup Runneth Over." Hold Breakfast The annual Thanksgiving day sunrise service of the University Baptist Church was held at 7 a.m. at the church on Ponce de Leon Blvd. with Thanksgiving message delivered by the pastor, Dr. Ladislau Biro. Following the service, breakfast was served by members of the Berean Bible class. On behalf of the many Baptists in Europe who need aid, this special sunrise service was set by the church as the time when relief goods should be brought in where they can be shipped to the Southern Baptist Relief Center in New Orleans. From there they will be sent overseas and distributed to those in need. In charge of this undertaking were: Mrs. Elmer Jones, president of the W. M. S.; Mrs. Howard Hakes, Mrs. Silas Burkett, Mrs. J. W. Reid, Mrs. J. R. Shaner, Mrs. P. C. Kendall, Miss Mary Barnhill, and Kenneth E. Forest, superintendent of the Sunday School. Members of the Gables Presbyterian Church joined with the congregation of the Shenandoah Presbyterian Church for services there. The Rev. B. M. Larson, the Gables pastor, delivered the sermon.

Consolidation Debate Moves To Gables

(Continued from Page One) municipalities, particularly Coral Gables and Miami Beach, which he said have won nationwide reputations. He also pointed out that while the bill provides for protection of municipal workers under civil service, it would not protect many faithful employes in Miami Beach and Coral Gables not covered by civil service. Mayes also stressed the fact that unconsolidated communities would be paying county taxes to support agencies such as the county police, from which they derive no benefit. Hoffman said the question was "the most serious and important" the county has ever faced and added that 250,000 voters "are being asked to give up something they know about for something no one knows about." The bill to be submitted to voters, he added, was "obviously" prepared in haste and could "result only in confusion if adopted." As one flaw, he pointed out that while provision is made for the board of commissioners to impeach any offices holders, but no provision is made for impeachment of the commissioners themselves.

Boss Used 3-Striper Tactics, Tony Says of Restaurant Fracas

(Continued from Page One) counter," said Tamburo. "I hate you!" Tamburo shouted. Tamburo, who was employed as a counterman at the Howard Johnson Restaurant said the manager next went to the owner of the eating place with a tale that the veteran had refused to wait on a customer. Tamburo testified that he grabbed the manager by the neck, but then released him "because I didn't want to antagonize anybody." The owner of the place came up and told Tamburo he was fired, but he refused to leave. Several employes carried him out yelling "I won't go! I won't go!" The Judge's considered and somber advice to the young man was: "The world is a tough place and you've got to make a living in it. You've got to get used to the give and take." So Anthony Emmanuel Tamburo, who fought for his country overseas before he had finished high school, was out of a job this morning. But he had his Bible back. He had left the Bible behind when he was ejected from the restaurant. But, at Judge Robertson's request, the restaurant keeper fetched the Holy Book from the restaurant. Anthony Emmanuel Tamburo's Bible is now waiting at the Coral Gables police station for him to come and fetch it. There are, as a rule, ten eggs to one pound.

Good Fellowship Is Watchword As Inn Opens

Champagne flowed like water and good fellowship was the watchword last night when Mine Host John Clisham of the Coral Gables Inn played host to city and county dignitaries at the formal opening of the Inn dining room. Clinking of glasses raised in toasts and the sound of merry-making in the spacious lime-green and white dining room, recalled memories of the "good old days" when the dining hall was focus of social life in early days of the city's history. Mayor Heads List Among the honored guests who wined on champagne and dined on juicy steaks were Mayor W. Keith Phillips and his wife. They joined City Manager William T. McIlwain at a table for four. At adjoining tables were City Commissioner Andrew T. Healy and his wife and Commissioner Dave Hendrick and Mrs. Hendrick. Mrs. Frank N. Holley represented her husband, who was away on a hunting trip, and the Edwin Poormans and Jimmy Robinsons were among others of the municipal executive family present. Dade County Sheriff Jimmy Sullivan was on hand for the festivities, and just to prove to friends he hadn't lost his touch, let go with the shrill whistle that first brought him fame as "the whistling cop." State Representative Bill Lantaff and Mrs. Lantaff were also among the guests. Following dinner, guests gathered around the piano for a little close harmony, led by young Kathleen Clisham, daughter of the owner of the Inn. The restaurant came to light again last night in a gleam of white napery and crystal after having been closed during the war years. Completely redecorated, it will offer breakfast, luncheon and dinner daily and will cater to private and club parties. Chef Hans Freyer will be in charge of the kitchen.

Collide at Stop Street

Katherine Tilton, 19, of 3751 S.W. 27th Terrace, and Robert L. Ivey, 25, of 53 N.E. 11th Street, were the drivers of two vehicles which collided yesterday afternoon at Avenue Minorea and Salzedo Street.

Speaking of Values

The true value of telephone service is much greater than its cost. Many types of concerns depend entirely upon the telephone to secure business. To them it is indispensable-yet the cost is only a few dollars a month. In fact, in all business, the value of telephone service is far greater than the cost. The same is true with respect to the everyday home and social use of the telephone. There are times when just one call alone may be worth the cost of the service for several months. If you kept an account of the trips your telephone saves you each month and of the comfort, protection and pleasure it affords, you would find that the price you pay is much less than the value you receive. The amount you are asked to pay, however, is never more than enough to pay operating costs plus a return on investment sufficient to enable the Telephone Company to secure from investors the millions of dollars of new money needed for improvement and expansion of the service.
