The action is proof that the French Government is now in much firmer control of France than was the case in 1946 and 1947. Only five short years ago, the Communists threatened France with utter chaos and revolution and most political Jeaders were deathly afraid to take positive action against the Communists, who control about one out of four votes in France even today. The recent French action reflects growing stability in France and economic recovery, since the latter is always the enemy of Commanism’s gains among the poorer classes. U. 8. economic and military aid is in no small way re- sponsible for the strengthened French position. It appears that the worst Communist crises in France’s postwar his- tory are now passed and that — barring an economic col- lapse — France is well on the road toward relative stab- ility and internal security, ' PAPER DOLL HOUSES Peter Schladermundt, architect and industrial de- signer of Bronxville, N.-Y., believes that in planning a home, every consideration should be given to the habits of the individual members of the family. “Try capitalizing on your family habits and hobbies instead of apologizing for them. Plan your home to take care of the activities that give each member the most pleasure. You'll find the neighbors envying your well- planned, well-used house.” The architect is critical of women who start their house-planning by cutting pretty pictures out of maga- zines. In his opinion, this “may be a hangover from paper- doll days of childhood, but it’s no way to achieve a prac- tical, livable home. The rooms which look so attractive in a slick-paper magazine can’t possibly fit the needs of each individual family.” The current trend for all-purpose rooms with mov- able partitions are opposed by Mr. Schladermundt, who cautions that “every member of any family wants and needs privacy sometimes. The only way to attain it is by separate rooms. Can you imagine the pandemonium of trying to entertain guests in one section of this area while the children play cops-and-robbers in another and some- body tries to take a nap in another?” Highway fatalities in Monroe County like those everywhere, are often unnecessary and are always too numerous. The best way to help Key West is to be a good citizen in all that the term implies. ” “IME LATEST iSPa TCH FROM MEABQUAR TERS A POWERFUL HOIST It’s Seldom Fatal To Be 40 By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP Newsfeatures Writer There seems to be an unusually large number of books, articles and pieces of advice around these days aimed directly and devastingly at an organized minority group: the American woman on the far side of 40. For a long time, a woman's 40th birthday has been built up agreeable term of “middle age.” Personelly, of course, I’m just out of my teens into the Slorious twenties, but I've no- ticed that almost everyone who writes and talks about the post- ' 140 ,rou» does so comfortingly, nati haan nin hn lia bin in in nhl linn han hn hint tnd dn dn) THIS ROCK BILL OF OURS 0£44444444444444444444444444444444444 The various back-yard movie projectors in town are a blessing. The operators of these projectors are modern day Samaritans, whe- ther they realize it or not. These picture shows are keep- ing a lot of kids entertained—and adults too, for that matter. Instead of ganging up on street corners at night, most of the youngsters attend one of the free movies. It isn’t unfair to the local thea- ters for the simple reason that, if these kids were unable to go to a free movie, they wouldn’t be able to go to one at all. Granted that. occasionally the sound track gets out of ‘kilter’ and almost blasts surrounding neigh- bors from their homes. Still — all in all — the good that the movies do, far outweighs the petty annoy- ances they cause. Drive-In Theater Key West really needs a drive- in theater.

Vapor bably one of the few towns that do not have one. It has been rumored that Claude Gandolfo and Howard Wilson would like to get such a drive-in out on the boulevard. Proposed zoning or- dinances forbid it. Personally I think they have a swell idea and that the proposed ordinance is wrong. The location is ideal. Moreover, if those particular bay bottoms are going to be devoted to business, a drive-in theater would be much nicer than many another business that could be put there — roadhouses or nightclubs for in- stance. Stephen C. Singleton Quite a few months ago, Stephen C. Singleton made me a gift of his book, “A Song Of Years In Florida.” It is a small book — less than sixty pages — but it has been a source of pleasure. Poetry, for me is something that needs to be taken in small doses. It has to ring true and be of an inspirational type to satisfy. Mr. Singleton’s work possesses these qualities, | ping before you go away.

This is undoubted- ly excellent advice, but in such forthright. form it sure makes the post-40 reader suspect, with considerable anxiety that the old machine which she has found so dependable for four decades has overnight become an untrust- worthy jalopy. If the beauty and charm ad- visors were followed to the let- ter, goodness knows what weird logking and acting women the turned-40 group would be. The over-40 woman, for instance, should take particular pains with her appearance — just as if she had been able to get away dur- |ing the 20's and 30's with untidi- |ness and sloppiness. She should use make-up with a, more lavish — and more discreet — hand. She should do all sorts of fancy stuff wjth her hair. She should pick her clothes with infinite careful about her family relation- ships. She should watch her diet, exercise, take naps, tepid baths. {In other words, she should put jin something like a 23-hour day | taking care of herself.
