Dorothy Collin Is New Woman's Ed

Miss Dorothy Collin has been named woman's editor of The Coral Gables Times to succeed Miss June Gray. The appointment is effective today (Thursday), according to Rolfe Neill, the newspaper's editor and publisher. Miss Gray is leaving to join the woman's department of The Dayton News, in Dayton, Ohio. This is the same ownership as The Miami News. She has been with The Times since August when she succeeded Miss Helen Reynolds on her retirement. The Times' new woman's editor is a native of Illinois. Her family lives at Golf, a suburb of Chicago. Miss Collin (there is no "s" on her last name), was educated at the University of Iowa and is a graduate of that university's Journalism School where she held various editorial positions on the undergraduate daily newspaper in addition to doing correspondent work for the Des Moines Register. She is 23 years old and will take the apartment at 44 Santillane Ave. being vacated by Miss Gray. She has a number of friends in the Miami area, including several with whom she was in school. Said Neill of the change: "We regret losing June Gray. In the short time she has been here—only a few months—she quickly established herself in the affection of the community. "She has done an excellent job on The Times. The Dayton paper is fortunate to get her. "In Dorothy Collin we feel we have the proper successor. She is knowledgeable in journalistic enterprise and in the layout and design of newspaper pages. "The Times has but a single mission in its woman's department and it is the same as in all departments: To produce the best weekly newspaper in America. "Watch Dorothy."

More People Molested By Burglars

The James McCarthys were among those who did not believe in locking their doors—not until Friday morning anyway. That's the morning when Dulce Maria, 14, 1244 Granada Blvd., said she heard a noise after she awakened to sneeze. She thought it was her mother, who had been awakened by the sneeze, but about that time an intruder tripped over some books and ran out. "I didn't even know where the keys were, but I know now," said Mrs. McCarthy. Several other prowling and burglary incidents were reported by Coral Gables police. Mrs. Nancy V. Brown, 2618 San Domingo St., on the morning of Dec. 12 heard her bedroom door open and screamed. The prowler fled. Mrs. Marshall T. Langer, 4100 Anderson Rd., reported hearing a noise to police and Mrs. Benjamin Glickman, 118 Zamora Ave., reported the theft of three rings valued at $3,125 Dec. 14. Mrs. James D. Brock, 1365 Blue Rd., saw a shadow of a man across the front of bedroom glass sliding doors and police later found the screen cut on Dec. 10. Arthur Soowall, 1410 Trillo Ave., had a patio screen cut by a burglar Dec. 12 and Morris J. Marlin, 39 Palermo Ave., had a burglar break into his home Dec. 17, but he took only a number of golf balls.

The new multi-story parking garage opened Tuesday of this week on a limited scale with free parking for everybody for the first hour.

Robinson Jr. The City Commission Tuesday decided to allow free parking for one hour until Dec. 25. The rate after that time will be five cents for each additional half hour. After Dec. 25, the rate will be the one established by the Commission earlier—15 cents for the first hour and five cents every additional half hour.

Gables Follows Lead On Sunday Close Plan

Two Gableites, Fred Hartnett, and Ed Crowley, represented the local Chamber of Commerce Tuesday at a countywide Sunday closing meeting at an Everglades Hotel luncheon. They were there to observe and line up Gables participation in a move to stop Sunday retailing. Ultimately, it is expected to be a statewide movement. Officers are yet to be chosen for the Dade-wide organization which attracted church, business and labor leaders to the luncheon.

$2 Million Holiday Inn Opens

(Continued from Page 1) tinued the job of completing the 155-room, three-story building. Weeks more would be needed before the work would be done. What has been finished—the stylish front, the plush lobby with its mixture of modern and classic motif, the deep hues of the beautifully decorated lounge and impressive dining room has been done tastefully. Rooms—only a few were open for inspection on the third floor—are airy and bright. Although the large modified kidney-shaped pool was completed, much remained to be done on landscaping and patio. The diving board was being installed Tuesday afternoon. Sullivan, looking pale and drawn from a recent illness, finally cut the tape surrounding the pool area. He then retired to the dining room for a modern version of a Roman feast. Many of the visitors that continued to pour in all day were from Miami Beach's fabulous hotel row. Probably a bit jaded from the opening of one big hotel after another, the entrepreneurs must have found something in Coral Gables' first modern hotel at which to marvel. It was a weary Ben Gaines who bid farewell to the last guest Tuesday night and looked ahead to a happy exprience—after a long sleep.
