SOCIETY ... PERSONALS . DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor SHOP HOPPING WITH Pretty soon now comes our| great Memorial Day — the day, when we remember our soldier} heroes of all wars, and our own| dear ones too. But anyhow, this} is the beginning of Buddy Poppy Week to May 30th. The theme is “Honor the Dead by Helping the | Living.” And now is as good a time as | any to tell you that you should | buy Defense Bonds regularly. | You'll never get a better return} on your investment, it’s safe and will last as long as your govern- ment. “Our Defense Can't Take a Vacation.” Rin *& Everyone is a number on someone's list, but if you're tops on the list at Buttons, Pins and Bows you get a gift | towards free for of materials or credit a larger purchase, nothing. On the last drawing, Some time hence, the grand prize, whole dress lengths will be given. It goes like this: La Vica is preparing cards with numbers find beginning next week, a drawing will be made and lucky holders — well, will be really lucky! So stop by. and get your number. Then watch the Citi- zen for announcements of win- ners, or better yet visit Buttons and Bows real often. they | Service agents asked a mianu- facturer for twelve dozen pairs of his finest hose for the use of the Army. Yoo Hoo, Eustace! Though it cleaned out his stock the manufacturer did his bit willingly, and only recently learned the results of his war- time gesture. The nylons (so we found out) were taken aboard the submarine that took General Mark Clark to the African Shore, and were presented to the wives of very important French offi- cials as a token of our Govern- ment’s esteem. This, was the start of our triumphant invasion of North Africa. So all wars Jaren’t fought with bullets and |flame. Some are fought with |coal, oil and water — nylons, no | less! ck hek We love to be mysterious — especially when we aren't quite sure what it’s all about ourselves — and we can look wise enyhow. Well, the latest is the Mar- Ed dollar day which will take place every Thursday morning. All we can say right now is to watch this column each Wednesday where the Thurs- day dollar day special at Mar- Ed's will be announced. x * From world affairs, local stores, down to you and me, but e° ROR Ever have ball point What we mean is, dia your} friend, husband or any of the offspring ever get all smeared up with ink from a ball | point pen? We know how to re- move it cheaply, quickly, harm- lessly and painlessly.

They look like flowers and are packaged so beautiful- ly. Just another thing we wish we'd thought of so we could trouble? | still on the subject of nylons, we heard about a product not on the market that claims to keep lanything made of synthetic fib from sticking, clinging, | fee! ing clammy, or crackling. | Just put a teaspoonfyl of it into jeach quart of ‘inal rinse water, (for nylons, underwear, and so jon) say “abracadabra,” and the static (which causes all the trou- ble) is gone. This is an antistatic chemical compound. There's |something similar for spraying | auto-seat coyers, to prevent that electric shock as you slide over. And another for taking the spark out of rugs in cold weather (which will be a real loss to certain children we have occa- jsion to know). Still another cleans phonograph records. We Saufley held an all-hands dance, as capable master of ceremonies for a show in the form of an amateur talent contest, introduc- ing each act and supplimenting | the entertainment with his own vocalizing including a version of | “St., James Infirmary,” which animates mummies, either) Egyptian or modern. He also led community singing, mostly bar- | bershop harmony songs which! had been thoughtfully distribut- | ed in mimeograph forms. Most unique was a double beat ver- sion of “Shanty Town,” with a fast slant that brought down the house if not the roof. backing of the show was played by the Salty Six with Don| Crocker at the piano, It’s a versatile combination. First and impromptu act was the appearance of one small fry, | Phillips May, who propped his chin in his hands as he leaned against a trash container near the stage and refused to budge. He didn’t miss a trick, or <n act, and for a little while it seemed as if he were trying to hypnotize the emcee. Pianist Jesse Sheffield headed the showbill playing “St. Louis Blues” and “Ida.” He won the second prize awarded to the en- tries. The enthusiastic audience shouted for encores. ' A few unscheduled stage ap- pearances were caught in the draught ... draught beer.... that is... with helpful servers wandering off and on the plat- form carrying paper cups and huge pitchers of cool ~efresh- mets for the delighted audience. However, the old “show-must- go-on” tradition was observed with spirit and the acts con- tinued undaunted. Ballads were offered by Fred Leavett and Bob Marvin in a duet of nicely blended voices. Joe Winsey, Ray Allard, and helpers, presented skat singing and pop tunes. Solo of “Blue Heaven” drew applause. Ed Coultas contributed to the vari- ety show. A Key West version of “South. Pacific” was given by |a couple of “Southernmost Spe- cifics’ who won first prize. The act was a satire of a South Sea food, fun and beer began at 7 p. m., and lasted until about 11 p. m. Lt.
