Retired Colonel New Assistant at Doctors'

An Air Force colonel, who at 41 already has one career behind him and is retired, began another this week in Coral Gables. He is Mahlon P. (for Parr) Clark the new assistant administrator at Doctors' Hospital. He succeeds Miss Ethel Langhorn who has returned to Evergreen, Ala., to be with her mother. Clark's job will be to assist Mrs. Mary Reeder in directing the 209-bed institution which operates on a yearly budget of about $21⁄2 million. The new executive is a native of New York State. At first he said Oneonta because, "you've never heard of the town I was born in. You'd better put Hartwick, though; my mother would never forgive me!" Hartwick is but nine miles from Cooperstown, N.Y., the birthplace of baseball. Clark retired from the Air Force in 1959 as a lieutenant colonel after 21 years' service. He joined, what was then the Army, as a private in 1938. His first job was an ambulance driver in the medical corps. His medical orientation stuck and he spent virtually his entire military career in that field. During World War II he was sent through flight school and earned his wings. "Afterwards, though, they sent me right back to hospital work." When he left the Air Force at Tampa (his mother now lives near there at Zephyr Hills), he was in charge of an Air Reserve Center hospital unit of 250-beds. After retiring from the service, he joined Eastern Air Lines here to be in charge of their security. He was with them until joining Doctors'. Hospital work runs in the family. Clark's wife, the former Betti Connery, was a captain in the Nurse Corps when they met. They have two children, 19-year-old Wayne and 14-year-old David. Their home is at 4800 SW 87th Ave. And as for the Air Force, it's still very much around. Wayne enlisted this week. MAHLON P. CLARK

UM Now Has School for Architects

The University of Miami School of Engineering will this fall inaugurate a five-year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Architecture. Chairman of the program will be James E. Branch, member of the American Institute of Architects and a practising architect, who joined the UM in 1946 when the School of Engineering was established and in 1951 organized the department of architectural engineering. "We have long felt there is a need for architectural training to meet the requirements of subtropical areas such as ours," President Jay F. W. Pearson said. "Many of our students both from the United States and from Latin America have been requesting this program." According to Dean T. A. Weyher, 11 courses in architectural design and related subjects will be added to the teaching program within the next four years, raising the number of credits required for graduation to a total of 170 as compared with 140 required in the five other engineering programs now offered. At the present time, the school will accept applicants for the freshman and sophomore classes.

Melvin Reese Wins Vote With Little Campaigning

Melvin Reese, Miami city manager, has a three-woman fan club going in the Gables. Its members are three ladies whose 1953 Cadillac stalled one day last week on South Dixie Highway. The trio is Mrs. Frank E. Harlow, 931 Obispo Ave.; Mrs. Harry Higgins, 908 Andres Ave.; and Mrs. John Rees Harlow, 101 Antiquera Ave. To them it seemed that no passing motorist would note their plight—none that is until an auto with a lone man in it. He assisted. "Young man, what is your name?" Mrs. Frank Harlow recalls asking him. "You are the only person who's stepped to offer help." "I'm Melvin Reese," he answered, "your city manager."

Navy Seeks Nuclear Sailors

The Navy is seeking application from high school graduates for duty involving nuclear-propelled vessels, both surface and submarine. Due to the rapid build-up anticipated in these vessels, many vacancies exist for those who qualify. This program offers opportunities for young men, says the Navy, because it trains them in operation and repair of nuclear reactors, a field expected eventually to replace conventional forms of generating electricity and other forms of power. Young men interested in this program should contact the Navy recruiting office, Room 334, Post Office Building, 300 NE 1st Ave.
