SYMPATHETIC UNDERSTANDING OP LATINAMERICA AIM OP DR. HASBROUCK'S COURSE

Among its numerous activities in-stituted by President Hamilton Holtat Rolling College to qualify theyounger generation to do their partm the prosecution of the war is ameasure designed to facilitate or-ganization of peace after the warhas been won. Preservation of theprinciples of the Good NeighborPolicy and the retention of thefriendship of our Latin Ameri-can neighbors is essential afterpeace shall have been estab-lished. In order that the youngergeneration may grow up with asympathetic understanding of theseneighbors of o u r s , educatorsthroughout the country are advo-cating the teaching of Latin Ameri-can History and Geography in thesecondary schools, especially thehigh schools. But since this is anew subject never heretofore taughtin the schools and to only a limitedextent in the colleges, there are fewschool-teachers competent to teachsuch a course.

To remedy this situation, at leastfor Central Florida, Rollins Col-lege has this year added to itsAdult Education Program a coursein the "Organization of courses inLatin American History and Geog-raphy, primarily for teachers insecondary schools and leaders ofstudy groups." Covering, as itdoes, the essential points in thehistory and geography of ourneighbors, this course will also ap-peal to our residents and wintervisitors who wish the informationfor themselves but are not planningto teach or to conduct study groups.This course will meet once a weekfor the ten weeks of the winterterm at the Good Neighbor Forum,320 Bolt Avenue., and to'accommo-date the needs of teachers, has beenset for 10:30 Saturday mornings.

REFUGEE TO DISCUSSPOST-HITLER PEACE

Outspoken Max Brauer, a Ger-man refugee who has criticizedHitler soundly in talks heard allover the United States, will strikeagain at Naziism when he address-es the Florida Chain of MissionaryAssemblies at Winter Park on Feb-ruary 2 and 3.

Speaking here on "The State ofWorld Democracy in the Fate ofGermany" Brauer—at one time thelogical nominee for Mayor of Ber-lin—will discuss the kind of peaceafter the war and after Hitler.

Brauer's experiences have beendramatic. Born near Hamburg,Germany he became, at 25, directorof the "Produktion", one of thegreatest consumers co-operative inGermany, with at least 3,000 em-ployes. After the World War 1,at 31 years of age, he becamemayor of Altona, his birthplace, andfor more than 14 years held thisposition successfully. His mainachievements in that time includedbuilding of vast housing and slumclearance p r o j e c t s , hospitals,schools, parks and orphanages.

For 10 years he was a member ofthe Prussian Senate and of the gov-erning board of Association of Ger-man Cities but all this dignity and

COLORFUL INTERIORS INCOLLEGE BUILDINGS

With the completion of the newStudent Union Building at Rollins,the campus adds one more beautifulunit to the "New Rollins" of Dr.Holt's dream. The Annie RussellTheatre, the Knowles MemorialChapel, the nine dormitories, DyerMemorial, the French Building andthe Shell Museum, all following thesame charming Mediterranean styleof architecture, have been built dur-ing the past ten years. All of thesebuildings figure prominently in theevents of a Winter Park season,and any winter guests who havenot yet taken the opportunity to gothrough them have missed a de-lightful experience. The interiorsof the new buildings have been dec-orated with great care and tasteto make them as artistically perfectas their exteriors. Miss VirginiaRobie, of the Rollins Art Depart-ment, is consulting decorator of theCollege buildings, and since 1937the planning of the interiors hasbeen in the able hands of E. TaddLittle and Son. This firm has usedas its particular theme the brilliantcolors peculiar to this semi-tropicalpart of the country, and in hang-ings, floor coverings, and uphol-stery, have used such effective colorcombinations as Hibiscus red andFlorida sand, as in the StudentUnion, Sea Green and Shell pink inthe Shell Museum, Blue and Gold,the Rollins colors, in the AlumniBuilding, and other bright, glowingtones which make cheerful, gay in-teriors for the students, and keepin perfect harmony with the Span-ish-Mediterranean influence of theexteriors. The decorations arealways a fine combination of utility,with artistic perception, and havedrawn much admiration from Townand Gown.

THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT BAN ON BUILDING A HOMEMany of our winter visitors have been misinformed about the building and remod-

eling of homes. They have been discouraged from their normal inclination to build andlocate here by unfounded talk that it would be unpatriotic. This is an error which needsto be corrected.

The Government does not forbid nor interfere with the use of building materialswhich are now in the stocks of local supply dealers. There is no shortage of supplies atpresent, and there is ample skilled labor ready to work.

The building of a home will take these materials out of storehouses and give much-needed employment. It will help our business men to meet their taxes and keep our work-ers independent. This will certainly be a patriotic and valuable use of money.

Answering an appeal from Winter Park Topics to clarify this situa-tion, the following statements have been made for publication by civicleaders:

By Hon. John F. Moody, Mayor of Winter Park—

"It is patriotic to put money to work and give employment."

By Dr. Hamilton Holt, Winter Park's outstanding citizen—

"Stagnation of money or work will not help win the war."

By B. R. Coleman, Chairman of the Board, Florida Bank of Winter Park—

"It is not unpatriotic to spend money to build a home."

By R. C. Baker, President, Winter Park Federal Savings & Loan Assn.—

"The building of a home in Winter Park by those who can afford it, isnot to be considered as untimely because of the war, and it certainlyis not unpatriotic because it helps to keep our workmen earning theirliving, keeps up property values, and keeps up morale."

The following dealers in building materials unite in presenting this vitally import-ant matter to the people of Winter Park:

"RENTALS—

Blanch ard Gummo's WorkShown at Research Studio

Opening' on Sunday and continu-ing through the 14th of February,the Research Studio Gallery inMaitland will show a series ofwatercolors and oil paintings byBlanchard Gummo. Mr. Gummo,artist in residence at the ResearchStudio, is the head of the ArtDepartment of Bucknell Universityand is at present on a sabbaticalrelease from his college studies. Agraduate of Yale (Class of 1928)and later of its School of Fine Artshe has distinguished hjniself byrepresentation in many importantexhibitions where his work hasbeen frequently honored by prizesand awards.

Blanchard Gummo is clearly anAmerican painter and his work,above most artists of his genera-tion, bears no derivative trait fromEuropean influences. The perform-ance of being individual in one'sexpression is always difficult forany young artist who is alert tothe tendencies of modern art andespecially the art that has issuedso impressively and at times soviolently from European sources.

Today, when we are very muchon our own, when to be an Ameri-can means complete identificationwith American traditions, it is allthe more refreshing to find anartist who represents our countryby the directness of his expressionand by being himself rather thanstriving to be international. Mr.Gummo paints the "AmericanScene", but it is one of his ownchoosing and it consists of quietbyways and unfrequented roads andalleyways and their mellow housesand the people who occupy thesesecluded zones. And he also paintsthe portraits' of his friends andneighbors and the simple thingsthat surround them. It is thisquality of neighborliness and thatjnst-around-the-corner feeling ofdaily living that his pictures revealand'that gives to his work, whetherin oil or watercolor, a restful dis-tinction that in these troubled timesis especially satisfying.

The Research Studio Gallery isopen every afternoon from two tofive. The smooth roads that leadto it are said to be amazingly easyon tires.

the family resided at Ishpeming.For many years father and sonwere prominent in both mining andbanking interests throughout thatregion. Mr. Hall first visited Floridain 1876 for reasons of health. Hesoon identified himself with thissection.

It was he who planned and plant-ed many trees which later becameCathedral avenues of giant oaks.He was among the first to plantand develop large orange groves inthis district. Later he entered thebanking business in Chicago andbecame vice-president of the "OldContinental." He married MissJane Bigelow of Burlington, Vt.,who died at Maitland in 1922.

At that time he moved perma-nently to Maitland and has sincemade his home with his niece, MissElizabeth C. McConnell.

Mr. Hall was a gentleman of theold school, unfailingly courteous,gentle of manner, and the soul ofhonor—his life being an illustrationof the highest Christian virtues.

Mr. Hall is survived by two sons,Charles G. and Elwood B. Hall, andone daughter, Mrs. Donald C, Mil-ler, all of Chicago. A second daugh-ter, Katherine Hall Bragg, wife ofMr. Lawrence D. Bragg, died threeyears ago at Medford, Ore. He left10 grandchildren.

Special mention was made of thenew kindergarten building erectedduring the summer under the ablesupervision of Mr. "William Newell,of Joalca Ave,, at a cost of $1,900,which is proving a. boon to the fortychildren who use it daily. The out-standing debt of $600 incurred tocomplete the building is to be low-ered by a promised gift from Mr.Charles F. Brown of $100. It wasthrough Mrs. Brown's interest andgenerosity that the first Day Nur-sery building was erected fifteenyears ago and both she and Mr.Brown gave the first gift to startthe new building last spring. I tis hoped to erase this deficit by nextspring for which plans are nowunder way. The next board meet-ing- in February will be held in thenew building, to1 be followed byOpen House for all generous donorsand friends. The kindergarten, lo-cated on West Welborne Ave., wasbuilt entirely by colored labor.The Winter Park Garden Club gen-erously attended to the landscaping-of the grounds.
