Washington's famous 150-man dining club and mock political party, the Alfalfa Club, is known as the seedbed of presidents. Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy were members long before their White House election.

City Abandons Short Section Of Vera Cruz
A short section of Avenue Vera Cruz has been abandoned by the City of Coral Gables to create a unified tract scheduled to become part of a public park. Mrs. E. F. Jennings, owner of a large tract of land off Red Rd. just south of Old Cutler Rd., has received approval from the City Commission for the proposed plan. Mrs. Jennings, who appeared before the Commission last week with attorney Alice Wainright, said the property will be used in connection with activities at Montgomery Palmetum and Fairchild Tropical Gardens, both located about a mile north off Old Cutler Rd. The two women explained that facilities at the Palmetum and tropical gardens were becoming crowded and additional land is needed. A library and research facilities are planned, Mrs. Jennings told the Commission.

The sun is racing toward the constellation of Hercules more than 60 times faster than a jet plane going 700 miles an hour. Yet by stellar standards, the sun a slowpoke. The average star travels 25 miles a second; one reaches the fantastic velocity of 680 miles a second.
