Y., launched a plan to help small merchants compete with suburban branches of city stores. Here is how the plan works; When a person buys an article from a participating merchant and charges it, the bank pays the store for the article and takes over the per- son’s charge account for collection. The bank charges the merchant five per cent of the sales price for keeping books and collecting what the customer owes. The Franklin National Baank is now handling 23 thousand accounts, and there are fifty retail merchants that are participating in th program. The bank is making more money as a result.of the plan, and some of the re- tailers participating report that their business has increas- ed as much as 30 per cent. What people think is not always what they say. ‘A-match is a little thing but it can begin a big fire. People who use the same surname should try to give tt good eapding. SLICE OF HAM Business e Mirror By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (®-—Donating to worthy causes can run into a heap of money — as most businessmen losing friends — can be a major headache for many companies. Corporate contributions for char- itable, health and educational pur- poses are estimated to run around 300 million dollars a year now, five times what it was 10 years ago. billion dollars. But if the U. S. Treasury should lose such money donated for char- itable, health and educational pur- poses, so would the stockholders. And they have to be sold on the worthiness of the causes aided. Increased contributions in the future — and many businessmen concede that they will increase— will sprout from many reasons; 1, The growing needs of an in- creasing population and expanding social programs, plus the swelling costs of operating charitable or- ganizations. . 2. The increasing awareness by businessmen of community respon- e’bility. 3. The shrinking of private for- tunes (once the mainstay of char- ity) under income and inheritance taxes, which make corporations the main source to which organizations can turn. Some companies meet the prob- lem of how to give by setting up foundations for the purpose. Ford and Sears, Roebuck are examples. set up annual contribu- tion budgets. And some, like Jer- sey Standard Oil, take the burden off the shoulders of top executives by setting up a committee of offi- cials with a full - time executive secretary. This committee submits a contribution budget annually to the board of directors, The secretary, Claude L. Alex- ander, explained to a meeting of the National Industrial Conference Board how the Jersey Standard plan works, * oe The committee classifies organ- izations, reviews the work they do, and appraises the benefit to Jersey Standard, direct or indirect, -that, contributions to them might bring, The size of the donation is deter- mined by a number of things, in- cluding these three: 1. Establishing the company’s advantage from funds given edu- cational institutions for research closely related to the oil company’s activities. 2. Determining that contributions to hospital funds and recreational facilities are used in areas where major plants are located, and that the employes will make substantial use of the facilities, 3. Supporting those charitable or- ganizations that are highly regard- ed in the community. For donations to organizations jengaged in research’ and public ; education on national and interna- jtional economic problems, the company has these rules of thumb: The organization must be really helping solve problems of the day. Tt must earn and hold the attention of top leaders of business, govern- ment and education. And, in turn, the leaders thus reached should be influencing public opinion and public policy, +) s ” DE “Robinson Tee . Visits Mobile The Destroyer Escort USS Francis M. Robinson (DE-220) re- cently visited the port of Mobile, Alabama for their part in the Armed Forces Day celebration This ship, composed of eleven officers and 207 enlisted men. put ashore their crack drill team, consisting of three officers and 64 men. The ship departed Key West on May 14, arriving in Mobile the afternoon of May 15th. During their stay between the 16th and the 19th of May approximate:y 2500 visitors were received on board.

Soon the hand that rocks the cradle will rule the roost in old Nippon, just as it now does in most of the Western world. The twilight of Far Eastern man- hood was forecast in a recent dis- the Japanese island of Honshu. The village elders there, bowing to changing times, voted that wom- en were to have a holiday the Ith of each month, on which day men will wash, cook, and do all the other household chores. In a lame justification of this retreat from traditional masculine authority, the elders told the wom- en they were expected to use their holidays to “elevate their cultural standards.” But if they really think Mama- san is going to spend her new leisure studying flower arrange- ments—well, they just don’t know Mame-san. I will lay these village wise men 3-to-l odds that before the year is out Mama-san will be going into politics, organizing softball teams, and to play canasta and blow smoke rings through her nose. The odds are heavy also that Mama-san will live up to an old Western proverb holding that if you give a woman an inch she will take a mile. “Why should we have a holiday just once a month?” she will ask. “Let's put our foot down, girls, and get a holiday every week, plus half a day off on Sunday.” And before long Papa-san will be doing the dishes and diapers in deer old Futakawa, while Mama -san runs for public office to oust the village elders who voted her the first holiday. But the step has been taken, and there can be no turning back. Japanese men lost the second world war abroad. Now they are losing the post-war at home, “The Kimono Rebellion” by which wom- en are gaining what they euphem- istically call “equal rights,” But the suc revolt of Mame-san will give her new duties and insecurities. Many a woman may later wonder in Japan, as many do now in America,.whether her new freedom really gives her more stature in terms of human happiness. Traditionally, a Japanese wife was known as “the pearl of the Orient.” She had no legal rights, her husband could divorce her merely by writing her a three-line note, and when she went out with her lord and master she was sup- posed to walk two paces behind him. A girl was taught subservience from birth. In a Japanese house- had his scrubbing before the old- est woman could take a turn at the bath. A wife’s place was in the home, jbut she had a fine title: ‘The jhonorable iner dweller.” And a | Smart Japanese wife usually man- | aged to be boss within the realm of her home. The new Japanese constitution gives Mama-san many new rights and privileges. But this business of letting Papa-san into the kitchen, even for one day a month, opens a whole new world of Western woes.

Joad clucks his tongue | disapprovingly at American kids in their cowboy suits.and bobby socks, And he has a sign of pity for them, too. “Poor little brutes,” he sighed Sunday — loud enough to be heard by the 2 % million subscribers of the Sunday Dispatch, which car- |ries his column. Said the head of London Uni- versity’s School of Philosophy — American youngsters eat their cake too early and get through it to quickly. It is “this too-early maturity in this matter of man- hers, customs, habits and dress in | Americans which makes them reach such an early, uninteresting and uniform middle-age.” Because they are spoiled and | abhor exercise, they grow up stoop- shouldered, he contended. Their “pale, pasty faces are due to the incredibly high temperatures | which, by means of central heat- ing they maintain in their houses.”* What shocked Joad was the ap- pearance of a planeload of Ameri- can “war baby” children who ar- rived here last week to visit their British grandparents — “little boys of seven years old dressed in check ; Suits, long trousers and blue Trilby | (snap brim) hats; children in cow- bey suits and bobby socks; chil- ren in violent tartans. “This means that the taste of those who dress them is itself the taste of children, for it is children —and, may one add, savages and bi ho are always attracted hing which is bright, start aring and different . es | | were acting like they were grown up — ng dates and driving cars, Joad sald he and most of his “without ever had a drink or kissed a ad that's the way it should be Roofing Bids For | Navy Are Sought Sealed bids for reroofing ings Nos. 132 and 178 at the } 1 Station, Key West. received until 2 p. m. e 24, at the Office of the Officer-in-Charge of Building No. 91 t entrance, U.

It is doing wonderful | work so I don’t mean to be dis-| paraging when I say that there is | something about it that I definitely | do not like. Namely, the policy that to be eligible for examination, a child must first be recommend- ed by a private physician, or the parents must go through the coun- ty Judge’s office and secure papers proving they are indigent. Insofar as I can see, amounts to one thing. . - A cripple chilé’s family must} have enough money to afford a pri- vate physician. In turn, this phy- sician will treat the child at five, ten, or fifteen dollars a throw -- whatever happens to be his char- ges for such treatments. When he discovers that the child’s case is too serious for him, he can then turn it over to the Cripple Chil- dren’s Commission. Unless of course the parents of the child run | out of money first. In this case, the child is eligible for treatment | because the parents are “unable to give specialized medical care,” and the private physician will re- commend the Commission handle the case. There are some mighty fide med- ical men in this town. They know medicine but sure as the dick this Personally, from my limited ex- perience with the hospital, | prefer HOLLYWOOD NOTES By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOD «# — This inter-| view with Glenda Farrell could be | approached from four different ‘angles: bb te ft tebe te bette dp bet OF OURS GIBB 9££44444444444444444444446444644464446464448 to take a sort of middle-of-the-road attitude. As in the case of any large insti- tution, there are a lot of impro ments that need to be made. I think Mr, Willard Albury who is in charge out there would be the first to agree with this. Also, I know for a fact that he is trying to make these improvements. One bad feature here in town is that everyone wants to go to the hospital -- whether he has a toe ache or pneumonia, This might make the patient feel a little bet- ter and it probably helps the doc- tors who are pushe.” with appoint- ments, but it also causes an over- crowded condition at the hospital. It would appear that the county needs a convalescent home along- side its hospital. Many of the pre- sent patients who are taking up valuable bedspace could be moved out into such a place where they would actually be better off than in the hospital proper. Underpaid Nurses Another thing that is hurting the hospital is our underpaid urses, The pay scale between nurses and doctors should be reversed. The nurses do more work, usually help the patient more, and at times, I suspect, know more than does the doetor, Monroe General Hospital has had a struggle in maintaining an quate staff of trained nurses. In ene instance alone, a well-trained nurse had to leave the hospital and take a job as a waitress in order to make a living salary. Cost of living is high here in Key West and our nurses’ salaries should be based on a proportionate seale. Well -- guess we'll just have te wait and see how things turn out, Time usually solves all problems. Sort of a fatalistie attitude but it's true. Just let me reemphasize that ‘The Cripple Children’s Clinie de- serves our support, ances, but it was the shew that got me my first movie contract.” 3. How she .likes television, ~T'm wild about it,” she en- thused. “I guess I've played about every dramatic show and I'm al- | ways doing a panel.” What about the rigors of live TV, which haye caused many a movie name to swear they, .will. only do iTV on film? “It’s tough work, all right,” she 1. Why she prefers New York | to Hollywood. \ The smart:cracking blonde who | | brightened many a Warners film | in the 30s is back in Hollywood | after a five-year’ absence. Now | playing a role in “Apache Trail,” | she waxed nostalgic about the old | days in pictures, But she hadn't} | missed the movie routine a bit. | “I have too much fun in the | East,” she said. “Whenever things | | get dull, I can always do television jor a play. I don’t miss my old | pals, because I see more of them | jin New York than I would if 1 | were here. You go to a restaurant | |in Hollywood and you don't see | anybody but agents and producers. } | “There’s no social life here any | more. The only time you see peo | ple is when someone throws a big | party, and they can’t afford to do | that any more.” | | Another reason she chooses to live in New York: Her husband, Dr. Henry Ross, has a big prac-| tice there. He's the fellow who} came to treat her sore throat dur- ing a play and ended up by mar- rying her. 2. How to movies. Glenda is a battle-toughened vet eran of the film business, but when her contract at Warners ended in 1949, she chose to make the stage her primary career again “I went through the mill here she recalled, “I think I did 2 pictures in my first year at Warn | ers, Sometimes I would be in three } pictures that were shooting at the same time.

Also, they have to learn how to conserve their energy so they can sustain a performance for an hour. That's something you don't learn in pictures.” 4. How she likes being a. grand- mother. Like Marlene Dietrich, Joan Ben- nett and others, Glenda is.a glamor grandma. Her son, night clab en- tertainer Tommy Farrell, has a daughter “I think it’s wonderful,” she commented. “I see no reason why you have to lwok like 90, just be- cause you're a grandmother. Being one has great advantages, You can enjoy the children, but you can leave them when they get on your nerves. You don’t have to worry about the upkeep.” So there are the four angles on Glenda Farrell. Take your pick. The earliest known type of fos- sil horse, the eohippus, was about the size of a fox. ee SLOPPY JOE’S BAR * Burlesque * Centinveus Floer Shows & Dancing Featuring The Antics Of SALLY and MARCELLA LYNN Tall... tor + Terrifie MINTA CRUZ, Mexican Bombshell JOAN CAMPRELL and « hest of ethers Dancing To SLOPPY JOE'S BEACHCOMBERS Never An Admission er Minimum Charge Tuesday - Wednesday ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN with JOSE FERRER AND KIM HUNTER Citizenship Comedy) THE BATTLE OF APACHE PASS John Lund, Jeff Chandier and Beverly Tyler air MONROE «coro Tuesday - Wednesday The Raging Tide with RICHARD CONTE and SHELLY WINTERS (Father and Sen) COMING AROUND THE MOUNTAIN Bud Abbott and Lou Costelle Coming: Coming
