Aid To The Keys The Southwest Home Economics Department and future Homemakers of America are helping the Junior Red Cross with the drive for toyless children on the Keys. Later this year the Home Economics Department will make cookies for the elderly. The money for toy material comes out of the enrollment fund. Southwest Junior Red Cross Chapter is now holding an enrollment drive. A new Southwest Sophomore, Chris Selin, spent two years in Karachi, Pakistan, where her father worked with the government aid program. All tests and worksheets are sent from there to the University of Nebraska to be graded as part of their correspondence course. Mothers with college degrees compose the faculty.

250 Learn Where Gables Advertising Funds Will Go

Approximately 250 persons, turned out Friday morning to hear and see what will be done with the $65,000 appropriated by the City of Coral Gables for advertising and publicity. Held at the Miracle Theater, the half-hour meeting drew men and women from all phases of the community's life, with a heavy concentration of local business and professional leaders. Said Robert Hildreth, chairman of the special supervising committee on publicity and advertising: "The city's aim is to do for business what it can't do for itself." That aim, City Publicity Director Bert Burris, will be pinpointed at persuading people that Coral Gables is the ideal place to spend a day, week or lifetime. Specially prepared slides of newspaper advertisements and recordings of commercials to be presented on radio were shown by Karl Bishopric and Jack Green of Bishopric, Green, Fielden, Inc. The advertisements and commercials are designed for general appeal and to create a desire to shop, work and live in Coral Gables. Another $25,000 appropriated by the City Commission to finance the Coral Gables Open Tournament is being handled directly by the City and will be largely self liquidating, Burris told the group. National Publicity The tournament, arranged in cooperation with the Professional Golf Association, should bring a great deal of national publicity, Burris said. The publicity director pointed out that the $65,000 advertising and publicity budget, stripped of publicity, hard core expenses such as donations to the Orange Bowl Festival, school bands and Junior Orange Bowl, and salaries, leaves approximately $25,000 for paid advertising. This advertising is designed to supplement, not replace, individual efforts, he pointed out. Serving on the committee headed by Hildreth are Fred Hartnett, former mayor and commissioner; Hamilton Hayes, vice president of Daniel's Department Store; Vernon C. Hill, former chairman of the board for Grand Union; and Albert Jacobson, owner of Rae's stationery store.

Busbee, of Homeland, South Coral Gables police identified as the driver, said stolen from under a seat in the truck. The money belonged to the Veterans Hospital canteen, police said.

Resist Urge To Toss Bottles

Ever have the urge to throw a bottle or two out a car window while riding along? Better curb it. One teenage youth did Nov. 25, but he got caught. Dec. 2 he was fined $10 in Metro Court. The youth, who lives in the Southwest section, was seen tossing out the empties by Gables Officer R. L. Merzweiler at the intersection of Red Rd. and Miller Dr. When the same thing happens about a year ago, Gables police made the offenders get out with brooms and pans and pick up the pieces.
