REMEMBER WHAT a backyard swing meant to you when you were a child? Perhaps, then, you know the wonderful world of fun that is opening before 10-year-old Sylvia De Trio, 4200 Riviera Dr. All it takes are humble ingredients — a coil of rope and a mighty tree. (Staff photo by Raymond Lang.)
Gables House of Future Will Be Different
(Continued from page 1) less maintenance. Curtis E. Haley, a Coral Gables architect, predicts these changes. Haley also is a member of the Architectural Board, a three-man group with jurisdiction over construction codes in the Gables. Haley believes that you can get a pretty good idea of the improvements that will be made in the future by looking at the changes made in the past. He has seen the changes in Coral Gables take place over a number of years and has designed many of the waterfront homes built since the early forties. Included in your new home will be all sorts of switches and dials not available in most homes today. You can flick a switch and a built-in vacuum will whoosh the dust into vents in the corners of a room. But don't hit the wrong switch — you'll change the color tones of the room. The bathroom hamper will become a clothes chute. Drop in soiled clothes and they'll come out washed, ironed, and stacked. Oriental influences may creep into the home of tomorrow, too. "Americans are just learning the delight in the serenity of Oriental design," says Haley. Everything is hidden. Conveniences and mechanical devices are camouflaged in cabinets that are not from all external appearances cabinets. This provides more living space, a more relaxing atmosphere. These predictions aren't fact — yet. But trends are toward the type of living Mr. Haley describes. Zoning and building ordinances of Coral Gables, will have to be revamped to accommodate such ideas, but Mr. Haley believes these changes are inevitable. A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.—George Moore.
Stuart's a Times Carrier Who Wants to Be Reporter
STUART COHEN Not many weeks ago, the Joe V. Davidsons of 415 Sarto wrote us a nice letter praising their Times carrier salesman, Stuart Cohen. So we weren't surprised when Stuart placed second in a just-concluded circulation - building contest. He obtained 18 new subscribers. The Times is emphasizing carrier delivery as it adds to its circulation. Stuart, the 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Cohen of 221 Viscaya Ave., is an eighth grade student at Ponce de Leon Junior High. He's been a Times carrier since last August. His two routes are bounded by Douglas and Le Jeune Roads and Sevilla Avenue and Bird Road. Stuart hopes to be a reporter when a bit older. We encourage him in it. There's still no job in the world that excels newspaper reporting for interest and variety.
