Greater Miami's amateurs will
get a chance to win a big, fat
turkey or other prizes If they can
display just a little more talent
than the next fellow. Radio sta
ton WFEC, Florida's only station
with all-Negro programming, is
beginning its new Amateur Hour
on November 80, sponsored by
Consumer Super Market. The
program will be broadcast every
Sunday afternoon from 100 to
200 o'clock.
At present, WFEC is looking for
talented amateurs to take part in
the contest. The radio station en-
phasizes that trained talent Is not
required, nor does an applicant
have to be able to sing, although
singers are also wanted. A CO.
median or a person who plays an
instrument :. such as an accor-
dian stands an equal chance
of winning. It is also possible that
talented individuals or groups may
be asked to do regular programs
over WFEC, which is always
looking for good program mater
ial.
In order that persons who work
during the week may have ari
opportunity to appear on the
Amateur Hour, additions will be
held each Sunday afternoon fol-
lowing the regular programs. AT
these additions people interested
in taking part in future pro-
gram will be heard. In some cases
special additions will be arrang-
] ed during the week If it is more
convenient for the applicant.
A pianist will be provided for
the program and the Sunday
afternoon additions by the radio
station. Any applicant who wishes
to bring his or her own accom-
paniment may do so. There are no
age limits on participation. Child
rem and adults have an equal op-
portunity in the weekly contests
and in the finals.
In order that the program may
be set up as soon as possible,
WFEC requests that interested
amateurs talent apply in the very

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear
husband and father,
JOHN r. MARKS, SIR.
who departed this life November
10, 1948.
I cannot say and I will not say
That he is dead-he is just away!
With a CHEEKY smile and a wave
of the hand,
He has wandered into an un-
known land,
And left US dreaming how very
fair
It needs must be, since he fingers
there,
And you, o you, who the widest
yearn
For the old-time step and the
glad return
Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of there as the love
of here;
Think of him still as the same,
say:
He is not dead-he is just away!

Changes in System
OF Streetcors Required

Several of the recommended
highway improvements will re-
Quire changes in the streetcar
system, and economic and en-
gineering studies should be made
to determine the feasibility of
bus substitution or track reloca-
ton. 1t is essential that work
schedules of highway construc-
tion and track removal or re-
location be co-ordinated. Some
major highway improvements
are imminent. therefore steps
should be taken to develop these
schedules without delay. A case
in point is the development of
the western approaches to the
new East Capitol street bridge
via Independence and Constitu-
tion avenues. Design of these ap-
proacheS hinges upon removal
of the streetcar tracks on Inde-
pendence avenue.
Wherever practicable. transit
vehicles should be permitted on
expressways and express park
ways. and the transit compa-
nies should provide the express
service made possible by these
facilities.
In establishing design stand
ards for highway improvements
the requirements of transit We
hicles should be recognized.
Stops should be located and
designed so that transit We
hlcles can render satisfactory
service with a minimum of in
terference with other traffic.
Adequate off street transit
terminals serving large employ
ment and shopping centers
would reduce congestion and
promote more efficient transit
operation. While the construc-
ton of such terminals in built
up sections is not often feasible,
they should be made an integral
part of new developments.
In conclusion, the committee
recommends that the regional
highway planning studies be
continued. Important contribu-
tlons can be made to the de-
velopment of a parking pro-
gram and to the study of transit
operations as discussed above.
Much pertinent information on
these subjects has been collected
in the course of the committees
Investigations. Moreover, the
basic origin and destination

cilities. be taken. AS off-street
parking becomes available, curb
parking should be restricted in
the congested business districts
and on the major arterials.
Concerted efforts on the part
of governmental agencies and
the transit companies are
urged to develop transit to its
full potential. Thus transit
would be able to play it's proper
part in supplying the transpor-
tation services required in the
area. Joint action will also be
necessary to determine and au-
thorize equitable arrangements
for effecting changes in transit
service that will be required to
carry out some of the proposed
highway improvements. The
major points which should re-
ceive mutual consideration are
Cd coordination of the high
way improvement program with
changes in transit service: (2)
use of eXpressways and park
ways by transit vehicles: (3)
highway design standards af-
fecting transit operations. and
a. downtown transit terminals.

Parking and Transit
Involved in Problem

Highway improvements alone
cannot of course solve the trans
portation problem. Two other
important factors, parking and
transit, are involved.
A comprehensive parking pro-
gram properly integrated with
the street and highway system
must be developed and put into
effect if congestion is to be ma
terially alleviated. Additional
off f-street facilities for short
time. parking should be provided
in the commercial districts
throughout the area. Off-street
facilities at other locations, with
supplementary express bus
service during rush periods
where necessary, should also
be provided for the all-day
parker. If the required facili-
ties cannot be furnished by pri-
vate enterprise, the commit
tee recommends that all nee
