Cureton—Elliott
Win Christmas
Lighting Contest
In the Christmas Lighting
contest first awards went to Mr.
iand Mrs. Dudley Cureton for
door and to Mr. and Mrs. Elijah
Elliott for outside decoration.
Second place to Mr. and Mrs.
George Grant for doorway and
third in the same division to
Col. and Mrs. Douglas Morrison.
In the outside division second
place to Mr. and Mrs. John Jones
and third to Mir. and Mrs. Henry
Elliott.
Honorable mention in Divis¬
ion 1 (door or doorway and ex¬
tra) was given to Mr. and Mrs.
Don Gross, Mr. and Mrs. Rud¬
olph Thompson, and Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Dugan for their very
artistic and original designs.
Honorable mention was given in
Division II (outside or yard) to
Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Burns and
Mrs. James Ryan.
Mrs. Cureton took first place
with a madona angel in pastel
mosaic pattern on a plain black
back drop. Either side of the
door was draped with a garland
pf greenery lightly sprayed with
silver.
The George Grants doorway
was delicate in treatment and
lighting. The top of the door
was a soft snow scene with a
small child sitting on a sled.
Under this also in white was
“Merry Christmas To All". Each
side of the doorway was trim¬
med with many kinds of greens
put together in a graceful design
with a red ponsettia at the top.
The Douglas Morrison’s en¬
trance extended holiday hospit¬
ality with lighted Christmas
Itrees placed on either side of
the door and little angels and
other silver ornaments reflect¬
ing the light as the breeze turn-
led them. Lighted rows of cand¬
les in the windows completed a
balance of lights.
The Elijah Elliots wished “Joy"
to all by-passers. From the
striped canes mounted on red
that bedecked either side of the
wall, to the lighted trees, and
well placed letters spelling Joy,
the outside of the house and
yard was an array of artistic
holiday expression.
From Sand Mountain to atop
Lookout Mt. the judges went to
find the second award winner
in Division H. The John Jones
greeted by-passers with their
merry carolers (made toy the
Jones and well placed and light¬
ed) singing Christmas carols
and a Christmas tree with lights
flashing on and off. The Henry
Elliots on Sand Mt. took third
place in outside decoration.
Christmas lights from the win¬
dows on the porch and lights on
the outside trees made a Christ¬
mas back drop for their artist-
icly lighted Noel in large red
letters on their front yard.
The lights on the Chester Bu¬
chanan tree were not on when
the judges were on Sand Moun¬
tain but from all reports he had
strung lights on a large tree in
his yard, topped it with a large
star and this could be seen as
on came to the brow of the
mountain and all the way down,
seven with the valley. It was a
beautiful sight for those who
travel the mountain every night.
Each entry was really worthy
of an award or honoroble men-

NUMBER 1
New Construction
The construction on the John
L. Case building, which is to re-
P J ace the one destroyed by fire
is progressing in spite of the ad-
verse cold weather we have been
having. Every advantage has
'been taken of the more favor-
able weather conditions to in-
stall electrical and plumbing
lines and concealed fixtures.
This construction is slow and
time consuming.
j The type of construction is
such that once the preliminary
odds and ends have been finish-
«d, one can soon expect a rapid
progress in construction.
The method of construction is
new in Dade County, using some
of the latest methods in mas-
onry construction. All beams,
ifloors and walls are to be mas-
onry type. The main floor will
| consist of concrete floor joist
and fill blocks which have been
j precast forced and concrete set on will the job. then Rein- be
( poured over these joists and
fillers to band the whole into
one solid mass.
There will be very little ob-
jstructing members supporting
the roof, which will rest on what
'is termed purlines or rafters.
purlines rest on large
! prestressed concrete beams,
These beams are manufactured
by special process of stressing
cables and then molding con¬
crete around them while still
under stress. This adds many
times more strength to a con-
crete structure than older met-
hods of construction affolded,
1 also it allows lighter weight
beams to be used,
1 Precast concrete slabs 3M> in-
ches thick and 2Y 2 feet by 8 feet
will be set on the pur lines as
decking and ceiling,
j This arrangement will afford
a beautiful paneled ceiling re-
quirimg nothing more than
painting.
The joints of these slabs will
toe pointed up and cemented,
^ buUt
front will be very modern
attractive artificial lime-
stone, , brick ,. . and glass.
