AIR MANEUVERS PROFIUHOWN Net Return Of $500 To $1,000 Will Be Reported By City The 12th annual Miami all-Amer-ican air maneuvers will show a net profit of between $500 and $1,000, it will be reported tomorrow at a meeting of the Greater Miami Airport association, against a profit of approximately $3,000 for 1939, which was a much cheaper show. This year's maneuvers budget was $49,697, of which the city contributes $10,000, Dade county Miami Beach $1,500.

Programs and concessions produced about $2,000 more and there was a balance of $3,095 from last year. Gate receipts this year amounted to approximately $15,500, against in 1939, and Bernarr Macfadden donated $5,000 for the "On to Miami" race. Assistant City Manager A. D. F.

Bloodworth, who also acts as secretary to the airport association in putting on the maneuvers, said the net figure this year would be considerably lower than in 1939 because of the added expense of "putting on a much better show." There still are a few items to be figured on the expense side of the ledger, but Bloodworth estimated "between $500 and $1,000" should cover the net profit Profit of course, is exclusive of outright donations, merely being a capitulation of expenses of operation against the gross budget.

Theresa Mittenzwei vs. George Typical of services being rendered daily by agencies of the Community Chest is a case recently reported by Mrs. Sadye G. Rose, Jewish Welfare executive secretary. A young Jewish boy, accustomed to the best that life could afford, whose parents had been divorced and each had married again, repeatedly had been sent away from first one parent's home, then from the other, demanding that the other take care of him.

New mates were adverse to a teen-age stepson in their homes. Finally, having been ordered from the father's door in a Northern city, he returned to his mother in Miami, where he was refused admission and turned over to the juvenile court as a "bad boy," the mother even claiming that she was "afraid of him." The court called the Jewish agency and sent mother and stepfather to that office, keeping the boy under detention at the courthouse. A Jewish case worker went to see the boy, who was down to meet her. He was homeless, friendless, resentful, suspicious and almost desperate. She contacted a similar agency in the Northern city from which he had come.

The case worker there sought out relatives of the boy. Immediately money was telegraphed, his release from detention was obtained, he was placed in the custody of the local case worker, who found a high type boarding school in a nearby city where he spent a week, pending; solution of his problems. Relatives in the North, in the meantime were found who would welcome the boy. give him the best of homes and an education. Mittenzwei.
