Truman To Leave Wednesday For Key West And Park Rites
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. (UP)—The White House announced today that President Truman will take off for Key West, Fla., Wednesday at 8 a.m. (EST).

FOUR 'CANE OPPONENTS 'IN' Southeastern Conference Wraps Up Six Bowl Bids
By WILLIAM A. SHIRES UP Sports Writer ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 1. (UP)—Except for one final entry the Southeastern Conference books were closed today with Mississippi wearing its first league crown and with five and possibly six teams slated for post-season bowl games. Georgia Tech, second-place winner, boasted the best defeated record, losing only by points all season. Tech was headed for the Orange Bowl in Miami where their opponents will be the Kansas Jayhawks, Big Six champions. Mississippi, paced by the All-American awesome of Charley Conerly and Barney Poole and under the direction of rookie coach Johnny Vaught, boasted six conference wins against a lone defeat. The Rebels, twice-beaten during the season, were to face Texas Christian's Horned Frogs, the same team that tied Southern Methodist, in the first annual Delta Bowl in Memphis. Mississippi, despite the 10 to 6 loss to Vanderbilt and the 19 to 14 loss to Arkansas, was on top of the heap as for as points scored was concerned, rolling up 187 in seven games. Alabama finished in third-spot—but was rated technically the best in the conference. The Crimson Tide leveled Miami 21 to 6 Saturday night and now has the host role in the Sugar Bowl against the rampaging Texas Longhorns. Vanderbilt finished dismally, bowing to Tennessee 12 to 7 Saturday, but their early season show was good enough to land them in a tie for fourth with Georgia and either Louisiana State or Tulane provided the two teams do not tie in their clash this Saturday. Kentucky in Lakes Bowl Kentucky—another team that started fast and which kept going until it met Alabama—wound up with two wins and three losses in conference play to earn a spot in Cleveland's Great Lakes Bowl this week against Villanova. Tennessee, on the other hand, slow but finished fast—tied with the Wildcats in conference standings after winning from Vanderbilt in the season finale. The Volunteers turned down a Dixie Bowl bid. Indications were that Vanderbilt might accept a Dixie Bowl bid to meet William and Mary in Birmingham and Georgia was slated for the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., to meet Maryland. Auburn wound up with one win—over Florida—and five losses. Florida had three losses and no victories—but there was a tie with Tulane for consolation.
LARGE SCALE EGG PRODUCTION AS MODERN AS THE RADIO
We take the egg for granted now. But did you know large-scale egg production is as modern as the radio or motor car? Though the egg is one of man's oldest foods, it was never plentiful until agricultural machinery created an abundance of poultry feed. The egg can be counted on for substantial main course eating. Trick is to have enough eggs, and season them with pungent forth-right flavors. Use condensed soups to make sauces; serve in potato nests and macaroni cups: Mushroom Omelet Beat until stiff but not dry- 6 egg whites. Beat until thick and lemon colored- 6 egg yolks. Add- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper 1⁄3 cup condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted. Fold in egg whites. Pour into moderately hot greased frying pan. Cook, without stirring, until risen and golden on bottom. Place frying pan in a moderately slow oven (325 F.) for about 12 minutes or until top is firm. Serve cheese and mushroom sauce (recipe below) in fold of omelet. Serves 6. Over boiling water melt- 1 tablespoon butter. Blend- 1 tablespoon flour. Remaining portion of the 11-oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted 1⁄2 cup water. Cook until thickened. Grate- 1⁄2 lb. American cheese. Add and continue stirring until cheese is melted. Yield: 11⁄2 cups. Scrambled Eggs in Potato Nests Combine, mixing well- 6 eggs 1⁄2 cup milk 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1⁄2 teaspoon salt. Scramble the egg mixture in fat. Break hot baked potatoes in halves. Season with salt and pepper. Add pat of butter and mash gently with a fork or scoop inside out, mash, add seasonings, and place back in shells. Place a large spoonful of scrambled eggs in the center of each baked potato. Serves 4.

SCHENLEY PARK NEWS Feast of the Pilgrims Has Special Significance
By PEGGY GORDON Riviera-Times Correspondent Perhaps it was an over-indulgence of the 'ole bird at the home of the Eddie Stephens, 2371 S. W. 23rd Avenue, with young daughter Joyce Ann and little Eddie that made reporting a trifle difficult this week, but after a little inspection we found most of the inhabitants fighting the aftermath of too much Thanksgiving, too. The feast of the Pilgrims was a very special one for many in Schenley Park this year. Among those most grateful to be celebrated in their lovely new homes were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas W. Hagan and young sons Tommy and Mickey, 2600 Red Road; Mr. and Mrs. William Charlton and sons Bill and Carey, 2904 Red Road; Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kelley, 5772 S. W. 31st St.; Mr. and Mrs. K. E. Callender, 5901 S. W. 29th Street; Mr. and Mrs. O. H. McMillan, 5701 Red Road; Mr. and Mrs. Adams, 5726 S. W. 31st Street; Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, 5784 S. W. 31st Street. New Bride Joining our community just recently is the charming bride of John Lawrence and her two teenage daughters, Kathey and Nancy. After a most romantic courtship their marriage culminated on Oct. 31 and they chose Georgia for the big event. Mr. Lawrence has been well known down here for many, many years and particularly in Schenley Park as one of its pioneer builders. Mrs. Lawrence was a native Chicagoan up to a year ago and though a trifle lonesome for the picturesque winter season, finds the sand seeping into her sandals quite permanently. It was at their reception at the home of Mrs. Lawrence's mother, Mrs. Rowles, 804 Alhambra Circle, that so many of Mr. Lawrence's old friends had an opportunity to meet his lovely bride. Daughter Nancy is a sophomore at Ponce de Leon High School and Kathey is a journalism student at the University of Miami. Mr. and Mrs. William Charlton and sons, Billy and Carey, are one of the happiest families in the Park, having just moved into their newly constructed home on Red Road. Charlton is rent director in Miami and came here from Washington, D. C., though originally Philadelphia was their home. They, too, are slowly being weaned from the charms of the North to the irresistible tropics. Had not their pet, Lucky, a collie pup, been run over there would have been little to dampen their spirits this Thanksgiving. Probably one of our proudest residents this week is Mrs. E. P. Streat, 1750 Terola Avenue, who has had the joy of seeing her beautiful niece, Wanda Hendrix, playing in the lead role opposite Bing Crosby in "Welcome Stranger" at the Gables theater and also playing in the Grove Theater in "On a Pink Horse." Mrs. Streat anticipates a visit from her niece next summer.

Ponce Teacher Tells Plans For Benefit
Dade County Classroom Teachers Association with some 1900 members has completed plans for a gala variety benefit show, announced today by the president Mrs. Herberta Leonardy of Ponce de Leon High School. The affair is scheduled for two night performances at the Miami Senior High School auditorium, Dec. 8 and 9, starting at 8 o'clock each night. Going into a new phase of activities, Mrs. Leonardy together with her board members, planned this event to start a fund to further the scheduled enlargement of the association. Tickets have been distributed to each senior, junior and elementary school in Dade County to be sold by the teachers or the representative of the school. Galaxy of Artists The variety show includes a galaxy of artists from the professional stage, featuring the ballroom dance team of Gloria Gleason and Hal Meeker. While newcomers to the Miami area this team is well known in northern resorts where they performed at West Hampton, South Hampton, Lido Beach hotel and during the spring months gave exhibition dances for the United Nations. Also on the bill is Don Garry, who will present a group of "harmonic moods". This young man is a virtuoso on the harmonica and is fast making a name for himself in this area. Besides popular tunes he plays light classics and his repertoire runs into the hundreds of musical pieces. Fashion highlights will be presented and will include a well-rounded wardrobe with the "very new look" as well as a view into an all-time classic in dress. Men's fashions will cue all men on what to wear, when and where.
Sees Command Change
Ens. Norman P. Huddle, son of H. R. Huddle of 541 Hardee Road, witnessed the change-of-command ceremony aboard his ship, the destroyer USS Vesole, in Jennny Cliff Bay at Plymouth, England. Cmdr. John Corry relieved Cmdr. Davis S. Brown, who had commanded the Vesole for 14 months while she was operating in both Atlantic and Pacific areas.

One-Man Bureau Aids Homeless
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UP)—A 25-year-old mother, Mrs. Dennis Kuhn, is becoming the unofficial housing expediter of Ann Arbor. Mrs. Kuhns offered a room for rent in a housing-hungry town that has some 20,000 University of Michigan students. Applicants converged on her six-room house. They flooded her rooms, lined up outside, and rang the telephone incessantly. With the aid of the local newspaper and radio station, Mrs. Kuhn then invited Ann Arbor residents to make rooms available in their homes and register them with her. Offers poured in. She invited homeless persons to register and began directing the most needy to the places available.
