Send In Your Questions To Learn Heart's Story

Heart disease can be a story with a happy ending. That's the theme of the free Heart Forum jointly sponsored by The Times and The Guide and the Heart Association of Greater Miami on Thursday, Feb. 23, at 8 p.m. in the auditorium of Coral Gables High School. Although the high spot of the evening will occur when a panel of five eminent heart specialists will answer your questions about heart disease, high blood pressure, and allied conditions, a 1⁄2-hour sound film titled "Take Three Hearts," will also be of interest to those who attend. Three Lives Produced by the American Heart Association, this film is the story of three individuals, each with a different type of heart disorder. First you will see a housewife with high blood pressure and how she learns to help her condition while living a normal life. The second "heart" belongs to a carpenter who suffers a coronary attack. You'll see how such a patient can be cared for so that he recovers his full potential and can eventually return to his trade. Third heart patient is a child who, like many unfortunate youngsters, is born with a heart defect. The story of what is being done to aid and even cure these children makes an inspiring climax to the film. The five heart specialists who are donating their services for the evening are: Moderator: Robert V. Edwards, M.D. Panelists: DeWitt Daughtry, M.D., Louis Lemberg, M. D., John Liebler, M.D., and William Straight, M.D. If you have any questions about the prevention or care of heart or blood-vessel diseases, address them in writing to "Heart Forum, c/o The Times, 308 Aragon, Coral Gables, Fla. As many questions of general interest as possible will be answered at the free forum.

Exchange Club To Honor Outstanding Students

The South Dade Exchange Club, consisting of area business and professional leaders, has announced plans to honor outstanding students in local schools, beginning in February with South Miami Junior High. Each week a board, consisting of Dr. Kitchins, principal, the Dean of Boys and Girls and two other faculty members, will select a Student of the Week from candidates nominated by each of the 34 homerooms. The Student of the Week, who will be chosen on the basis of scholarship, potential leadership, service to school and community, will be the Exchange Club's guest at its regular luncheon where they will have an opportunity to meet these leaders of the community and tell them about his or her hopes and ambitions. End Of Semester At the end of the semester, the 18 Students of the Week will be invited to write an essay on "Civic Duty as a Citizen". An independent group of judges—not members of the club or school personnel—will choose the three best essays from each of the three grades. The writer of the essay judged best in each grade will receive $100 in stock, the next $50 in stock and the third $25, a total of $525 in stock prizes. It was decided to award stock so that the students will have an actual stake in the future of America. The stock will be registered in the student's name, but will be held in trust for them by their parents until they are graduated from high school.

4 Area Youths Sign Up As 'Air Policemen'

Four area youths recently signed up as "air policemen" in the U.S. Air Force, the first time enlistees have been "guaranteed" a specific assignment of their choice. The youths who left Miami Jan. 30 for Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio are Charles P. Cooper, 2543 Sawnson Ave.; Robert L. Williams, 4010 SW 27th St. And Jerome S. Rich, 3500 SW 10th St.; Raymond A. Hall, 2905 Center St. After their training, the four youths will assume on an air base duties similar to those of a civilian policeman. The area youths and about 45 other future air policemen had to meet certain rigid standards, as well as the normal requirements, for acceptance. The decision to guarantee the air policemen assignment was due to the great need for high-calibre men in this branch, said a recruitment officer.

Hovering 'Copter Raises City's Ire

A helicopter which hovered a few hundred feet over downtown Coral Gables for a couple of hours Monday in connection with a local store's promotion got up the ire of City Attorney Ted Semple. After Gables police got a few anonymous complaints about the noise being generated by the stationary whirlybird, Semple put in a call to the Federal Aviation Agency which ordered the chopper to take down its sky hook and head for terra firma.

Court Rules Out Liquor In Gables Decision Is Handed Down After 2 Years

A case before the courts for more than two years involving extension of the sale of liquor in Coral Gables came to the end of a long road last week when the Florida Supreme Court upheld the city's right to restrict. Cynthia Davidson's last ditch effort to force the city to issue her a license to serve liquor at the former Barcelona Gardens restaurant ended in a decision for the city. Still Prohibited The victory for City Attorney Ted Semple means that Gables restaurants will still be able to serve beer and wine, but the coveted liquor licenses are still prohibited. Gableites who like a cocktail with their lunch or dinner will have to go outside city limits to enjoy that privilege—as they have always done. Miss Davidson argued that it was unfair to Gables retaurant owners to be denied the business now flowing to area establishments because of the legal restrictions. Last year, the Coral Gables City Commission discussed the possibility of broadening liquor laws to permit any hotel or motel having 100 or more rooms to sell liquor, but the move never materialized. No Affect This would have had no affect on the law affecting restaurants, however. In May 1959, Miss Davidson obtained a license from the City Commission to sell beer and wine at the Barcelona Gardens, but the restaurant closed its doors shortly afterwards and has been closed since. Recently, M & M Cafeterias negotiated a deal with Miss Davidson for operation of the restaurant, and it has been reported that the building would be converted into a pancake house.

Gables Decides Resident Status

The Coral Gables City Commission recently clarified its policy on defining who are residents of the City in connection with the operation of the Youth Center. Residents were broadly described as any person living in Coral Gables, regardless of the length of time or whether they live in rented or purchased facilities. The question came up in connection with the influx of Cuban refugees. Under the ruling, the Cubans will be treated as any resident. Youth Center fees are based on residence or non-residence, with the latter category paying higher fees.
