WOMEN DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor S:;OP HOPPING Can’t help but keep wondering if the little wind is going to turn into a big wind. We have been very; lucky, you know. Anyhow, the cur- rent weather reports keep me tick- ing off things to do, like, get in plenty of canned goods, look to the oil lamps, get plenty of water bot- tles and buckets around, close the shutters, tarp the car. Things like that can keep you awake nights! Of course, this date too, is mo- mentous.

One of Rip Van Winkle and one of Johnny Appleseed. Dick Hunter of Dick’s Tire Service gave them to me, and they are certainly beauti- ful reproductions of famous paint- ings of these legendary characters. They are in folder form on fine paper and each bares a clever legend of its originator. Now, these don’t cost Dick a cent because the U. S. Royal people give them to him each month, but he likes little kids, and he wants to go to all the trouble of giving them away to all the children who come their with their parents to visit his place. It’s a nice thought and the pic- tures. are well worth framing. A set of these would be a very nice addition in any child’s or growing girl’s room. Dick and his wife are two favorite people of mine, and this one more little act of kindness sure shows why! ke wm - For the Gals heading College- ward again, or for the first time, Mar-Ed is ready.

Final Report BPW Convention Shows State, National And World Activity Now that the tumult and shout- ing have died and the delegates have departed, it is possible to find out just what the BPW state board meeting accomplished here last Saturday. Or did.the delegates just attend banquets and see the town? Said Presiding Officer and State President Wilhelmina Harvey, “They took quite a lot of action in the business meetings. Probably the most significant, was the adop- tion of Anna Brenner Meyers’ sug- gestion to survey employment of women in Florida with emphasis on working conditions and wage differentials.” Members also. voted to continue the industrial school program at Ocala, in continue to make funds available to-employed women who fur- ther study and to students}; no interest is charged until the -bor- rower takes her new position. Buildings “ramparts” on «the international front, they voted to continue participating in the na- tional organization project of bringirig Chinese student nurses to the United States to learn Amer- ican methods of nursing. They will also sendpackeges and used cloth- ing to the youth center in the A- merican Zone of Germany to help students go to school, and thus to help them learn to understand de- mocracy. ;| organization's history will be edit- ed by Ruth Rich, prominent BPW and former publisher.

Inslee of 1511 Johnsor St., forwarded a clipping sent from a friend in South America which was published in a magazine called “Think.” The article is entitled “Key West—Rock of the Caribbean. “Think” is the house organ trade | paper of the International Business Machine Co. of Madison Ave., New York City. The story, written by Stella Wes: | ton Tuttle is accompanied by sev- eral interesting pictures showing | cigar-making, the shrimp fleet, eélebration of Navy Day with the caption “The Navy is one of the | city’s largest sources of revenues,” a shot of Duval Street and several airviews. In her colorful article, the writer says that Key West is a city in name only. “In spirit it is a country with a language, a law and a way of life all its own. A coral island | located much nearer to Havana than Miami, it has a flavor so exotic that any resemblence to the | rest of the United States is purely coincidental.” Miss Tuttle deals in pointed terms in describing Key West. She continues: ‘‘Probably no city in the land presents more contrasts. Its inhabitants called Conchs after a local shellfish, are famed for their stubborn independence, yet nearly everything they eat, wear or live | in must be imported—even their | drinking water! The language is a hodgepodge of Bahama British, Cuban Spanish and U. S. Navy slang. Its main street is so crowd- ed that traffic must be routed one- way, yet the slightest cause* for celebration results in a conga line ' down this throughfare.” She goes on to say that fishing and the climate are the main at- tractions here and that the aver- age temperature .of 76 degrees, al- though hot to mainlanders, is per- fect in the minds of inhabitants of the Old Rock. Noting that although Key Wes is the deepest part of the Deep | South there is. no segregation of races in residential districts anc | she mentions that the Exnest Hem | ingway estate is located in < | neighborhood containing more ne gto homes than otherwise. She a! so exclaims that in the past build | Mrs. C. H.

Cain goes on duty at Comdr. E. V. Cain Arrives In City After Korean Duty Comdr. and Mrs. Elbert V. Cain have arrived in Key West where they are visiting with Mrs. Cain’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. A.M. Morgan of 1430 Reynolds Street. Mrs. Cain is the former Miss Nancy Morgan of Key West, active member of the Key West Players and the young social set. She has been busily occupied furnishing and landscaping the new home which the Cains built next door to the Morgan residence. A few weeks ago, Mrs. Cain | journeyed to Chicago, Ill., where she met her husband upon his re- turn from the Korean area where he was Air Officer of the aircraft carrier USS Philippine Sea. Comdr. and Mrs. Cain left Chi- cago to pay a visit to his mother, Mrs. Ruby A. Cain at Tarrant near Birmingham, Ala. They arrived in | Key West Monday and will remain Washington, D.C. The Cains will live in Washington and plan to rent their home until they can return here. Recently, Comdr. Cain was awarded the Bronze Star for the second time. He received the medal for meritorious achievement as ship’s air officer during operations against North «Korean and Com- munist forces from January 26 to | July 6. The award was presented | by Vice Admiral J. J. Clark, USN, | Commander Seventh Fleet, aboard the carrier in July. His first Bronze Star was given for service during the carrier's first Korean combat tour in 1950-51. He revorted for duty there from the Naval Air Station at Key West. In World War II, Comdr. Cain won two Presidential Unit Cita- tions and the Navy’s Air medal. ' ing restrictions were nil . . . tat | A $50,000 mansion may have a $50 | shack leaning up against it.” | After pirate chieftains came the | “wreckers”, a different form of pi- racy, writes Miss Tuttle, but notes \ that it is no longer the civic cus- tom to tamper with the lighthouse beam. She skims briefly through the history of the Naval base and | mentions that through four wars, | Key West has proved itself as “The j Rock of the Caribbean.” | “Conchs have done their own | share of fighting,” she goes on, | “establishing for their homeland | the reputation that it is indeed a ‘tight little island’ populated by an excessively clannish people.” Miss Tuttle claims that Key | West is now at an “unparalleled peak of prosperity which natives view with pardonable restraint. Too many times in the past they have welcomed prosperity only to have it followed by disasters.” In this category come the labor disturbances ‘which set back the cigar making industry, the cutting of the Naval base to care taker status at one time, and the 1935 burricane which destroyed the link to the mainiand. The new reign of wealth comes from shrimp, tourists and the Navy | and the famed building of the Overy | seas Highway. | She concludes with 2 paragraph: | “But whether the town prospers | or not, Key Westers have a loyalty | to their particular plot of para- dise which convinces them they | , are the most fortunate of people.” | ! agers at the dance for them at the Princess Caracciolo Will Direct Ballet Students In School Of Dance Definite arrangements have been k- made for the talented Princess Nina Caracciolo to head the ballet department of the Pinder School of the dance, it was announced today by Gerry Pinder, director of the school. i Princess Nina is an suthority on classic ballet and has danced with such great and immortal person- ages as Anna Pavlova and Nijinsky in the company directed by Serge Diaghileff.

Charles D. Jones, 31, Meridian, Miss., and Airman Second Class Peter R. Rosing, 22, survivors of the crash and a 24- hour battle with stormy Gulf waters, were treated in the Eglin Air Force Base Hospital for ex- haustion and exposure. An intensive Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard search continued for the other six crew members of the B-17 bomber shot down by accident by an automatically con- trolled F86D jet fighter. Col. Arthur R. Debolt, 29, Colum- bus, O., pilot of the jet, was being questioned by an Air Force board of inquiry making “an intensive investigation” into the accident. Debolt was in charge of the F86D test project. It was his job to determine if the F86D was suit- able for combat. A veteran flyer, ' Debolt was described by the Air Force as “an exceptional officer.” \ Before the two survivors were | given sédatives after their gruel- | ling experience, Jones told news- PHONE: Citizen Office, 1935 | whether others had parachuted into the Gulf after their plane was struck by the rocket. The intended target of the jet, a radio-controlled drone was guided to a safe landing by a “mother” B-17 taking part in the flight. The crew of eight aboard the “mother” B-17 gave conflicting reports about how many men were in the craft. The Air Force: said they estimated ‘‘from two to four.” Col. Debolt said the first he knew of his mistake was when he heard a voice from the uninjured B-17 saying: ‘“‘Watch for parachutes. He got the wrong plane.” The wing tips, nose and tail of drone planes are painted yellow Unfortunately, however, coloring should issue a “third arm” to doesn’t show up on jet’s radar- scope, which the pilot depends upon partly to locate his target. An Air Force officer, describing the intricate operations of the new | fighter, said that in issuing equip- ment to the pilot the Air Force | should issue a “third arm.” The watch the radarscope and fire the rockets, Other crewmen on the crashed bomber were: Lt. Col. Leo R. Audette, 34, Chicopee, Mass.; Maj. Henry V. Ford, 32, Richmond, Va.; Lt. Col. William A. McWhorther, 36, Dewey, Okla., Maj. Harold S. Leffel, 33, Shawyer Mill, Ga.; Capt. Roger H. Blake, 30, Miami, Fla., and T. Sgt. Lyle C. Phillips, 31, Brow- ton, Minn. The Air Force reported it would intensify its aerial search today ‘and continue it as long “as there is any hope for discovering other survivors.” WANTADS SEE THE men “We never had any doubts | 7 that we would be picked up.” | He told of accidentally bumping into Rosing while being tossed about on a life raft by high waves in the Gulf. He said he reached out and helped Rosing, who was in a Mae West jacket, aboard the raft, which had been dropped by a search plane. “We knew it was just a question of time,” he said. “Our only real concern was whether we'd be able to last until we got some good drinking water. “We didn’t say much to each other. In fact, I believe the only thing Rosing said to me at all during the night was ‘Gosh, but I'd like a drink of fresh water.’ “When daylight came, it wasn’t ‘ong before we saw a plane spot- .ing us, and then were picked up.” After being spotted by an Air. Force patrol plane, the two were picked up by the Navy minesweep- er Seer, then transferred to an | Air Force rescue boat for the 18- | mile run into Tyndall Air Force Base. From there they were brought to Eglin.
