As a public service, The TIMES and The GUIDE, with the cooperation of the Heart Association of Greater Miami, is co-sponsoring a free Heart Forum at the Coral Gables High School Auditorium at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 23. At this Forum, to which the public is invited, five eminent heart specialists will answer questions from the audience on the prevention, care, and cure of heart and blood-vessel diseases, including high blood pressure. Serving as moderator will be Robert V. Edwards, M.D. Panel members include: DeWitt Daughtry, M.D., Louis Lemberg, M.D., John Liebler, M.D., and William Straight, M.D. In addition to the question-and-answer period, there will be a 1/2-hour sound motion picture shown.

But They Can Still Give Out Those Tickets

Coral Gables female parking meter checkers will no longer be classified as police women. In a long debated move, the City Commission Jan. 31 voted unanimously to transfer the four women from the Police Department to the Finance Department. The move, long recommended by City Manager L. W. Robinson Jr., will strip the former policemen of the power of arrest, change their name to "Parking Meter Checker", and limit them to handing out overtime parking tickets only, Robinson said. Other illegal parking violations will be handled by policemen. At the same time, the Commission voted to appropriate $2900 to affect other changes in the Police Department to allow the hiring of "civilian" handicapped persons to handle dispatching.

UM To Offer Week Of Shakespeare In Summer

Four weeks of Shakespeare repertory will be presented this summer, July 11-Aug. 5, by the University of Miami on its main campus. It will be the only Shakespeare festival held in the South, according to Dr. Delmar E. Solem, chairman of UM's drama department. Drama professor Jack Clay, executive director of the Festival, has scheduled four Shakespeare plays-two comedies, a tragedy and an historical drama-to be performed in nightly rotation. With performances every night except Monday, the program will offer patrons the entire repertory in a week. The plays will be staged in the air-conditioned auditorium of the university's Joe and Emily Lowe Art Gallery. Players will be selected at public auditions during the annual Southeastern Theater Conference, April 6-8, in Miami at the Biscayne Terrace Hotel. The Festival auditions will be coordinated with tryouts for nine summer theaters of the Southern states, which the conference sponsors. At least a hundred drama students from Southern universities and high schools will attend the conference and participate in the auditions, Clay expects. Rehearsals for the UM Shakespeare casts will begin June 6th. Credit for making the Festival possible is accorded by Dr. Solem to UM drama students who, he said, have raised more than $5000 towards the Festival budget. Tentative production plans are to present "Midsummer Night's Dream," "Taming of the Shrew," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Richard the Third."

Here's What's Going On At Andalusia, LeJeune

What's going on at the Old Youth Center lot? A new shopping center? Another bank? An office building? No-none of these things. Those massive concrete slabs are being moulded at the "Sot-tile" property for use as drainage ditch covers in connection with the LeJeune Rd. widening project. The City, which leases the lot from the owner, recently allowed Troup Bros. Construction Co. to utilize that portion of the lot in exchange for fill.

South Miami Says Meters To Stay | Chamber Of Commerce Proposal Tabled

By EDWIN KNIGHT A proposal by the South Miami District Chamber of Commerce to do away with parking meters on South Miami's streets during a trial period was tabled by South Miami Council Tuesday night. The Council tabled the request pending the results of a Metro Traffic Division report which would show the city fathers the parking turnover in South Miami. The report from the office of Metro Traffic Division Director George Kunde would show the revenue and use of the City's parking meters. Under the Chamber's proposal, the meters would be ignored. Actually, caps would be placed over the tops of the meters during the trial period. Parking on the city's streets would be for two hour periods, with police giving tickets after this time. The meters in the city's off-street parking lots would not be affected. The report from the Metro Traffic Division is due in two or three weeks. The Merchant's Division hopes the lack of parking meters on the city streets will invite more shoppers to the business area. Each merchant, according to the proposal, will have his employees park in off-street lots. In other business, Council: DENIED the petition of S. R. Rand for the rezoning of some 36 parcels lying between SW 62nd Ave., Sunset Dr., 62nd Pl. and 74th St. from RU-1 and RU-2 to C-1. The area, known as W. A. Hobbs subdivision, is owned by some 19 persons who hired attorney Rand to represent them at the meeting. Although this petition was denied, Council will ask the city's Planning and Zoning Board to investigate the rezoning of this property to a more liberal useage. PASSED on first and second readings an ordinance requiring the city to pay the cost of employee participation in city authorized group, life, hospitalization and medical insurance.
