guch a miuch of a| shipment of beach toys that even i pop and mom wil have fun with. These include a big Snapper the Turtle, Bulgy the Whale and, Swishey the Alligator—all ridin’ size after they’re blown up, of course. Also swim rings and wings, beach balls large and small, beach mats, and sailboats. If you can’t go to the beach, you can get the nicest plastic wading pools for your own yard. For the older children, and the oldsters too, goggles and masks, by Aqua Champs. Then in the corner for the cute little girls, adorable sun suits, two piecers with panties attached right to the skirts and also the pinafore type. kk A new one never thought out by Godfrey or me either, but I tried it and it’s fine. Sort of puts a crown on the lowly teaball. Make a tall Pitcher of iced tea, half fill the glasses with the tea, complete with ginger ale. We like Vernors.

In- quiry elicited the information that they were made and installed by a firm right in this city, and Gift House doesn't mind if we say it right out loud, The Key West Venetian Blind Company. They also commented on the ex- fremely fast and efficient way that the necessary fixtures and drapes were installed. They really put the finishing touches on that room. While we were in there, we couldn't help but admire the coconut shell dishes. They don’t have too many left ,only a few sets of individual ones and two or three servers. Also the pepper | and salt shakers and a covered dish that could have many uses. These are made of ceramics and in-| it just seemed we conjured a pic- ture of an outdoor picnic or beque with the tables set witn these. Another wonderful use would be to serve this island’s fresh coconut ice cream in them and then sit back and listen to the comments.

NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN Key West Art And Historical Society Appoints New Committee Chairmen Mrs. Greer Smiley, chairman of the Historical and Beautifica- tion committee for the Key West Art and Historical Society is losing no time in carrying out the project for her group. She made a sur- vey of the grounds of East Martello Tower this morning to continue the program of improving the landscaping there. Other committee heads ap- pointed at the meeting of the Society at West Martello Tower, Monday, June 9, are Mrs. Nor- berg Thompson, who spearheads the Entertainment committee, and Elvira Reilly, now on sum- mer vacation, who is chairman of the Program committee. Their most active schedules begin in the autumn, It was announced that West Martello Tower would be kept closed to the public during the summer months and would open only for meetings of the Society. However, East Martello Tower will remain open until September 15, Jeanne Taylor, resident cura- tor, reported. From September 15 to Novem- ber 1, both Towers will. be clos- ed. East Martello has a lovely na- tural setting of picturesque beauty and is available for social g-*her- ings. There is a suitable floor for dancing. Any group desiring to use the East Martello spot may get details and information from Joe Allen, president of the Society. Several buffet suppers were seryed there during the past year and it is an ideal place for suppers, dances and social events, The landscape is being en- hanced with the placement of coconut palms, red bougainvillea, pink oleander, red and white hibiscus, croton shrubs and the delightfully scented frangi-panni. Any Key Wester who wishes to give plants to the grounds may do so by calling Mrs. Greer Smiley. Among those who have graciously donated flowering shrubs and plants for the beauti- fication of East Martello are Mrs. Curry Moreno, Mrs. Norberg Thompson, Mr. and Mrs, Guy Carleton, Mr. and Mrs, Roland Goulet and Mrs. W, E. Baughman. It is expected that the Key West Garden Club will cooperate. The Society meets every second Monday of each month at West Martello at 8 p. m.

TITLES IN THE BATHING SUTT Co The Winners At The Swim Dance Si 2 iat SRR eee Gypsy Dance Hugely Enjoyed At YMCA-USO Last night the patio at the USO YMCA was the scene of a gypsy | dance. The GSO gals were dressed in dungarees and old clothes. The patio was circled in colored lan- terns. Gus Ayala and his combo played for the dancing from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Refreshments were served at 10 p.m. by Misses Peggy Rife and Joetta Beott of the GSO. A special dance was held to pick the winning couple of a Jitterbug | Freeze contest. The couples | danced, freezing still when the mu- sic stopped. The couples who| moved were eliminated until the | winners were left. Prizes were | awarded to Mary Anne Sihi and | Danny Zamarchi from the USS Gil- more. A “Ladies’ Tag” dance and a “Pass the onion” elimination dance both provided excitement and fun | for the dancers. In the elimination dance the couples passed a large | onion from one couple to another | as they danced; and when the mu- sic stopped the couple holding the onion left the floor. This continued with much screaming and racing to get rid of the odorous vegetable until one couple remained. | The lucky winners of the prizes were Leo Kaleta of the Torpedo Shop Naval Station and Miss Peg- | gy Rife. A GSO meeting held prior to the dance last night was scheduled to make preparations for programs during the coming weeks. It was decided to start a special point sys- tem of credits to be given to the girls bringing new members into the organization and those who serve at programs during the week, other than dances, These credits will be added to their attendance hours and go to- ward winning Girl of the Month awards and service awards, Key West Youths Accepted By Navy Chief Carmen Attilio of the local U.

GEIGERB WASHINGTON (# —Don’t run for the nearest saloon until you’ve read the last word of this, but — Navy scientists have discovered that alcohol — like in bourbon — has a mysterious power to lessen the likelihood of death from radia- tion similar to that of atom bomb rays. These scientists, however, were working with mice in the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory at San Francisco — which makes a difference. Eighty-four per cent of mice that got a heavy injection of alcohol survived after they later were ex- posed to medium doses of rays. Another group of mice got no alcohol but the same amount of ray exposure — and every one of them died. The Navy scientists, after other experiments which turned out | about the’ same way, said there seems to be some definite relation- ship between the amount of alco- hol and the survival rate of mice. But there’s a catch. A Navy of- ficer says mice handle their liquor, or rather alcohol, differently than man, They can survive a phenom- enal dose of alcohol, size consid- ered. If a man drank as much alcohol as the mice received, in proportion to size, the man would have to take around three-fifths of a gallon of average whisky, the officer es- timated. Some scientists have estimated a man’s liquor capacity — 154- pound man, at sea level, on a cool summer day — is around one quart a day. If that’s true, three - fifths of liquor would kill a man before the rays got him. Young children often refuse a food without being able to explain that they have grown tired of the taste, smell, and sight of it. Mothers should be careful to see that their children’s menus vary from day to day. of Held Here By Legion Ladies’ Auxiliary The Poppy Day Sales amounted to a little over $500, it was an- nounced last night at the meeting of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Amer- ican Legion who convened at the Post Home on Stock Island at 8 o'clock. The report was made by Poppy Day chairman, Mrs. Nimia Sikes. The exact amount totaled $502.75. The initial nominations for new officers were made at the business << _ —_ session. Final selection of nominees will take place at the next meet- ing, Thursday, June 26. Plans were discussed for the dance recital presented by the Pinder School of Dance at the Con- vent Auditorium on June 27. The event is being sponsored by the Auxiliary, It was announced that the 10th District conference of the organi- zation would be held at Marathon, Fia., in the near future.

Monsalvatge Dies In Miami Merlin Monsalvatge, former Key West businessman, died suddenly last night around 6:30 o’clock in Miami. Mr. Monsalvatge sold out his business here in Key West to Ramos Wholesale Co., 520 Front St., in October, 1946. At that time he decided to make Miami his per- manent home. Death ocurred unexpectedly and at the time of going to press, The Citizen has been unable to contact local members of the Monsalvatge family. It was learned, however, that burial would take place in the family plot of the local cemetery but no definite date has been set. An attempt is being made to con- tact Mr. Monsalvatge’s son who is in the service and supposedly on his way to Korea.
