Car Struck While Parked In Driveway

Autos know no sanctuary when it comes to accidents. Georgine L. Walker, 37, of 1250 Bird Rd., found out when her car, parked in the driveway in front of her home, was damaged in a three-car collision early Christmas morning. It all began, according to Gables Officer Charles M. Harris, when Albert Glick, 32, of 6853 SW 28th Ter., and Margaret B. Howell, 54, of 5900 SW 42nd Ter., were eastbound on Bird shortly after 3:30 a.m. that morning. The Howell car, Harris said, cut into Glick's lane and the two cars collided. The impact caused the Howell car to go out of control, knock down a tree and crash into the Walker car, parked in the driveway. Estimated damage to the Howell car was $100 and $75 to Glick's, but the parked car was more seriously damaged.

Speedboat Pilot Gets TV Spot

Al Mims, 115 Zamora Ave., a 43-year-old salesman, will be one of the featured speedboat pilots in the nationally televised Orange Bowl Regatta on New Year's Day. An hour of the closed course portion of the regatta will be carried by CBS - TV Jan. 1. Mims' class, the very fast 266 inboard hydroplanes, is included in the show. Mims will drive his "Lil' Abner", a 120 miles-per-hour hydroplane powered by a souped-up Chevrolet engine. It will be quite a step up the ladder, speedwise, for Mims who last year drove a 50-mile-per-hour inboard runabout in the regatta. He will meet some of the world's finest hydro aces in the New Year's Day marine spectacle.
