GABLES FOLK WELCOME KIN FOR CHRISTMAS

Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Ashby's Christmas will be merrier this year because their two sons are home to share it with them. The elder son, Richard, arrived yesterday from Washington, D. C. where he is a psychology teacher at Georgetown University. Here from Philadelphia is William who is practically sick over the fact that he must return home on the twenty-ninth without getting to use the tickets he has to see his Alma Mater "beat" Kansas in the Orange Bowl New Year's day. William will return to Miami on the ninth of January at which time he'll leave immediately for South America on a two or three months business trip. Joining the Ashbys for Christmas dinner today were Mr. and Mrs. David E. James and their three children, David, Jerry, and Kitty. Mrs. James is the Ashbys' daughter. * * * Mrs. T. J. Sandberg says she "could even see Coral Gables" the other night when she flew in from Knoxville, Tenn. This was her first plane trip. She is visiting her son and daughter-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. T. D. Sandberg at 1012 S. Greenway Drive. * * * Arriving yesterday from Tampa, was Horace Means, brother of Mrs. Edward I. Amthor. He will spend Christmas and this weekend with his sister at her Avenue Mendosa home. * * * Home to spend the holidays with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Wells, are Felicia and Clifford Wells Jr. Felicia attends Florida State University at Tallahassee, while Clifford is a student at the University of Florida at Gainesville.

GABLEITE HAS BREAKFAST HERE; TO DINE IN BALTIMORE TONIGHT

Christmas Day comes but once a year and Mrs. Ruth Jacob, 548 Avenue San Esteban, doesn't want to waste a minute of it. After having Christmas breakfast and exchanging gifts with her husband and children, she boarded an Eastern Airlines plane at nine-thirty this morning for Baltimore, Maryland, where she will spend the remainder of Christmas Day with her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Wooldridge. And what will really be a surprise is the fact that the Wooldridges have no idea that their daughter is going to be able to wish them a Merry Christmas on the right day. This flight today will be Mrs. Jacob's first plane trip. She'll return New Year's Eve in time to spend New Year's with her family.

For the twenty-eighth year in a row, Mr. and Mrs. Willard Hubbell, 1119 Lisbon Street, entertained friends last night with a Christmas Eve party. Guests of the Hubbell's helped trim a Christmas tree, sang carols, and opened gifts which Santa had left for them at the Hubbell home. * * * It's an annual custom with the William F.

Student Arrives For Xmas Visit

Ten years ago John Ormond of Grove City, Pa., visited his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Brunstetter of 825 Lisbon Street during his school vacation at Christmas. His picture appeared, at that time, in the Coral Gables Riviera, for eleven year old John had caught a fish on a deep sea fishing jaunt that was taller than he, so he made news. John is here again but he doesn't think he will try his luck with the rod and reel. He'll make news however, for he will be flying to Cuba for several days' stay during his holiday. John attends Grove City College in his home town.
