FINDING THEIR NAMES in the Bible are the children of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony DeCouto, 5350 SW 96th Ave. With their mother, left to right, are Matthew, John, David Luke (the two-week-old baby), and Mark. (Staff photo by Raymond Lang).
Brothers Bear Their Names 'Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John-- Blest Be the Bed They Lay On'
By CHUCK SUNERGREN Correspondent Here is how a church-going family found a way of naming their four sons. Mr. and Mrs. Anthony DeCouto of 5350 SW 96th Ave. named each after one of the Four Gospels. They are Mark Anthony, 6; Matthew Seraphim 4; John Andrew 3; and David Luke, who only arrived this month (Aug. 8). The DeCoutos are members of St. James Ev. Lutheran Church in the Gables, 110 Phonetia Ave. How did Mr. and Mrs. DeCouto decide on this solution? "Well," said the boys' mother, "the first one was named Mark because I always liked the name and of course his middle name came from his father. "The second one we wanted to name after my husband's father, Seraphim; being a Biblical name we thought the rest of his name should come from the Bible. "When the third one arrived we thought we might as well keep up the tradition in case we should have four boys, and sure enough we did!" What if one of them had been a girl? "Well," laughed Mrs. DeCouto, "the last one, David Luke, did disappoint me a little bit. He was supposed to be Lisa. "But I'm really proud of my boys although I would love to have a girl."
Boy Scout Troup 319 A Good Bus for a Good Cause-- These Ladies Scouting for One
By BECKY DOYLE-QUINN Guide Reporter Anybody got a bus they'd like to give away or sell cheap? If so, the "Mom's Club" would sure like to have it. The Mom's Club is a group of over 50 mothers (number not age) of Boy Scouts in Troup 319 in the Southwest area. They have organized for the sole purpose of raising funds to buy the boys a bus. Troop 319 is a large and active group of Scouts. And they're growing larger all the time. If they had a bus they could travel to places further away to camp. They need a place to stash their camping gear too so they'd like a bus with some storage room. That way their insurance would be cheaper, the mothers say. Most of the mothers work and many of them have large families but they still find time to put on various fund raising projects. Among them have been two rummage sales, selling a cleaning agent on a commission basis, and manufacturing packettes for a local catering service. So far they have raised about $300. They have plans for more projects in the future, including a carnival in October. Officers of the club are Mrs. C. Mahfuz, president; Mrs. Walter Baker, vice-president; Mrs. R. H. Godfrey, secretary; Mrs. A. Solo, treasurer; Mrs. R. M. McDonald, telephone chairman. No specific financial goal has been set for their drive. They only know that buses are expensive and so they intend to raise as much as they can. "It's a large task, but not an impossible one, we know," said Mrs. Godfrey, the secretary. Troop 319 covers the Coral Gables and Southwest area. The members are Kent Stefens, Steve Felahis, Luis Acevedo, John Acevedo, Jerry Morgan, Terry Campbell, Doug Sawyer, Bob Kitchen. Ronald Faith, Lee Baker, Chuck Reisinger, Terry Garner, Bus Holzer, Bob Alexander, Bill Baker, Ed Reisinger, Ronnie Seeds, Jim Kelly, Ronnie Reynolds.

West of the City Limits with Ron Levitt
There's probably not an area in the United States as football minded as Our Town. And football is going to get a tremendous sendoff here this year. On Saturday, Sept. 16, the University of Miami Hurricanes will open the season with a nationally televised game against Pittsburgh. It will be the fifth time tht Hurricanes have played in a nationally televised game (2 wins; 2 losses in the first four TV outings); and it will be Miami's seventh meeting against Pitt (3 wins; 3 losses so far). So, it'll be the local boys chance to go above the 50 per cent marker in both cases. Preliminary sales indicate the Orange Bowl will be jammed for the opening game, and for the remainder of the season when the Hurricanes meet Kentucky, Penn State, Navy, Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia, Tulane, Northwestern and arch-rival Florida. All but the Kentucky, Tulane and Florida games will be at home. Last year, the Hurricanes finished with a winning 6-4 mark and — if it hadn't been for some crippling injuries — it might have been an even better season. Probably most football fans remember that Miami was being touted for an Orange Bowl bid last year until Florida routed them 18-0 near the season's end. With a stronger offense this year and the return of 20 lettermen from the '60 squad, the Hurricanes should be an even stronger team this year. Even at season's beginning, nothing the local fans would like better than to see Miami go all the way to a successful season and a bowl bid. Statistically, it's going to be an interesting year. In five meetings, Miami has never beaten Kentucky; the Miami-Florida series is tied at 11 wins-11 losses; for Tulane it's 1-1; and Miami has only been able to beat Georgia twice in nine tries. For Penn State, Colorado and Northwestern, the 1961 season is their first meeting against Andy Gusrafson's crew. Why all this talk of football? After all this is not a sports column. It's because — come September — football is the big interest, the big conversation. It's because this is Miami — where football reigns supreme in the fall. It's the time of year when canasta, bridge, and maj johngg make way for the radio and the trip to Orange Bowl on Friday nights. It's the time of the year when wives had better brush up and find out who Eddie Johns, All-American Bill Miller, and several other gridders are if they want to keep up with the standing conversation. And, besides, it's that time (See p. 4, Col. 3)
Dancing For You Coming Up
If you like to square dance, you'll have your chance every Friday night, starting Sept. 1. The Optimist Club of Olympia Heights is sponsoring the weekly dance to obtain funds for its youth work. The affair will start at 8 p.m. and be held at the clubhouse, 10250 Miller Dr. The Optimist Club also sponsors a Boy Scout's Explorer troop, a Junior Optimist Club and a Coral Gables boy's club.
