Keep Meters Covered: Merchants

South Miami's parking meters, which haven't been in use for some four weeks, can remain in that state, according to the city's merchants. A Guide survey this week showed most merchants are still glad the meters were capped. Many want the meters left that way permanently. "I think the meters hurt business and I think there is more business now that the meters have been taken from the streets," said Ralph Gimenez, in Fred Fleming's Photo studio. COMMENTS GOOD Another merchant said he he had heard many comments about the temporary covering of the meters from merchants and motorists and most of the comments were in favor of permanently lifting the meters. "We're very satisfied with the meters the way they are now," said a spokesman of Roberts Men's wear. Another said: "The tensions are being eased by the covering of the meters. The customers feel more like shopping than running out of a store to put a penny in the meter or moving a car." The city seemed almost in a carnival spirit with the meters gone from the city's streets. The meters, however, are still being operated in South Miami's several off-street parking lots. EIGHT SAY YES Of a spot survey taken of some 10 merchants, most of whom occupy stores on Sunset Drive, eight of the merchants were for permanently lifting the meters while the remaining two preferred the meters on the streets. Joe Dussault, of Dussault Stationery, said he noticed no difference in the lifting of the meters. "It was good before. It's good now," Dussault said. But he preferred the meters. South Miami Council four weeks ago voted to cap the meters at the request of the South Miami District Chamber of Commerce. 2-MONTH TRIAL A poll had been taken by H. W. MacDonald, Chamber manager, which showed that the merchants strongly wanted the meters capped for a two-month period. During the period the city can find out whether the meters are aiding or hurting the city's business. Merchants have complained that the numerous shopping centers surrounding the city are hurting the city's business. The shopping centers have no parking meters.

God's Power For Man's Problems

By REV. NEIL WYRICK Palmetto Presbyterian Church The next time your nerves stand on end and do an irritating dance on the serenity of your soul; the next time you feel like blowing your top or shouting at the top of your lungs, try one of the following cures. They are as old as time and as new as your need. Begin to repeat to yourself "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, He maketh me to lie down in green pastures . . ." and as you repeat this well loved psalm, picture what you are saying. Play some beautiful music or hum a happy tune even if it comes from an irritated heart... Walk outside a moment and look at the sky. It can overwhelm you with its reach. Look at a blade of grass, it can touch you with its singular beauty. Make yourself smile . . . if you make your muscles in your face smile, your inner feelings cannot be far behind. Then just say to that Shepherd who is your Shepherd and mine, "My good and faithful Lord, any fool can crawl in bed and mope, let me rather do something better and more positive than running away."
