Running On GOP Ticket Will Gables Resident Be First Woman Senator?

By CAROL ANN YOUNG "There's no such word as can't," is the motto of Mrs. Edythe Rogers, Republican candidate who hopes to become Florida's first woman senator. Mrs. Rogers, who has contemplated entering politics for the past eight years, feels that there is a definite need for women in government. "We have gained experience in organization through the home situation," she said, "and have proved our ability in the business world." Women just seem to have the knack of understanding the overall picture better than men," she added. A native of Roanoke, Va., Mrs. Rogers attended Roanoke College and the Lewis-Gale Institute of Nursing. She entered business immediately as a wholesale distributor of chemicals in five Southern states. She has lived in Coral Gables for the past 22 years. One "first" already attained by Mrs. Rogers occurred in 1956, when she led action by the Justice Department which effected the first consent judgment in the United States. This resulted in elimination of fraud and restraint of trade in the insurance business. Vice president of the Riviera Republican Women's Club and active in the Eastern Star, Business and Professional Women's Club and Coral Gables Apartment Owners Association, Mrs. Rogers still finds time for church work and her favorite hobby, swimming. Although long out of school, she continues her research and study in the fields of both business and government. "It has taken courage to run for this office," said Mrs. Rogers of her current campaign, "but I feel that if I can get the doors open, more women will be able to come into the state senatorship." "I have no present aspirations in the national political scene," Mrs. Rogers added, "but if I become state senator, I'll just let things go on from there."

Gables Seeks Rich Uncle For Stadium

Coral Gables Stadium, an albatross around the neck of the City of Coral Gables for a long time, continues in its role as the Commission still finds itself in the rich uncle role. A request for $2000 from the City was deferred Tuesday, but the Commission okayed picking up the undetermined insurance tab for the remainder of the football season. Metro had indicated that it would purchase the stadium site from the city when it placed the Florida Power & Light Co. franchise question on the ballot in the last election but has made no concrete move to purchase since. The facility was one of three which Metro pledged to operate if the franchise were approved by the voters and the 6 percent franchise tax money became available for recreational purposes. The stadium, operated by the Coral Gables Stadium, Inc., a non-profit corporation, is reportedly in debt to the city for

Ponds Are For Fish, Not For Dish-Cost $100

The case of the "slimy saucers" was settled out of court Sunday, but the defendant wound up being charged with being drunk. It all started Sunday when Fred Milanowski, 39, of 3901 SW Seventh St., allegedly took all the dishes and silverware from a home owned by Beatrice Bingham, at 214 Antilla, and took them to a newly purchased home and dumped them into a fish pond. The victim called Coral Gables police and complained about the missing articles. Officers Richard Harrington and William Bennett found Milanowski and the dishes at 3901 SW Seventh St., where Milanowski had dumped them in the fish pond. Dishes and Milanowski were brought back to 214 Antilla, but Mrs. Bingham refused to accept them because they were covered with slime. Milanowski finally agreed to pay $100 for the trouble, but was promptly arrested by Harrington and Bennett for intoxication. The defendant failed to show up in Municipal Court Tuesday night, however, and forfeited $25 bond. Total cost for learning that ponds are for fishes and not dishes — $125.
