PALM BEACH, Fla.,-The
season is getting started and
1t looks as II 1t will be a good
one. Gone are the days when
this resort retained its out
of-season flavor until the
coming of the New Year.
All Of the Gold Coast
Miami to Palm Beach-was
happy when President Ken
nedy announced he and his
family were expecting to be
in Palm Beach this month.
This was the assurance
wanted to show Florida was
safe.
The military buildup, 1t
was first believed, would slow
down the tourist season. But,
people are coming. There is
no reason to expect to see
troops and military equip
ment as most Of the buildup
has been a good many miles
south Of Miami.
The Palm Beach Police De-
partment is ready for the ar
rival Of the First Family"
Helping to look after a Presi-
dent on his winter visits here
presents some peculiar prob
lens to the local police.
There's the problem Of
bridges the President and
his party have to cross on
the way from International
Airport in West Palm Beach
to Palm Beach. Federal law
gives boats the right-of-way
over motor traffic on bridges.
Just the same, boats don't
get 1t when the President
crosses-on the theory that
the Presidents business is
more important than the
boats.
'COpters Banned
The bridge problem might
be overcome by use Of hell
copters - which President
Kennedy employs plentifully
in the north. But, helicopters
are banned from Palm Beach
by town ordinance. And, be-
sides, the President hasn't
made any requests for their
use-at least since the Palm
Beach-Miami trip he made
several months ago. This
caused numerous complaints.
Since Palm Beach police,
working with other security
officers, have to go out Of
town to meet the President
at the airport and escort him
here, they must be depu-
tized by the sheriff; being a
Palm Beach policeman isn't
enough.
When President Kennedy
moves to or from Palm Beach,
virtually every man of the
60-man police department
who's on duty at the time is
employed in that operation
AS escorts, watching traffic
at intersections, etc. Some
times men off duty are called
in to help.
The President doesn't al
ways leave on a motor trip
when scheduled; things come
up that he himself didn't
know beforehand to change
his schedules sometimes. This

A New Club
There was a mass exodus
In the southwest section .of
Miami last week when more
than 5000 curious Miamians
went to see the new face of
Kings Bay Yacht and Coun-
try Club.
The man behind the new
look Of Kings Bay is Wash
ington businessman Gustave
Ring, who lowered the men,
bership ante to make the
club within reach of COM
paratively flat wallets. Price
is down from 5000 founder
membership to $3.50 social
membership per year, includ-
ing tax, and no initiation
fee.
Adding impetus to the in
terest in the club was the
fact that it didn't need re-
juvenation and got it anyway.
Plush blue carpeting in vary
ing shades now cushions the
entire club, blue curtains and
huge new chandeliers cast
soft and flattering light; pea
cock feathered decorations
vie in elegance with the lob
bies of the most expensive
Miami Beach hotels.
If the Deerfield Beach city
fathers should, at some time,
decide to choose a nickname
for the town, they might con-
