MARGARET FORESMAN, Sunday Afternoon «Key West Women’s Society Editor Tea Honors All Organizations Climaxing Business Woman’s Week activities, the Business and Professional Women’s Club tea Sunday from 4 to 6 p. m., at the Woman’s Club honored all women’s organizations in the city. Some} 60 guests from girls’ and women’s clubs were present. In the receiving line were Mrs. Bianche Miller, the president; Mrs. Doris Carey, first vice president; Miss Pauline Nihoul, correspond- mg secretary; Mrs. Alice Nix, re- cording secretary; Mrs. Catherine | “teManus, treasurer; Mrs. Marian Stark, immediate past president; and past presidents Mrs. Mary raham and Mrs. Grace Crosby. Serving as chairman nr the tea was Mrs, Angela Caro, with Mrs, Sue Jurezynski as co-chairman. They were assisted by these com- mittee members: Mrs. Hester Struz, Mrs. Doris Carey, Mrs. Ca- therine McManus, Mrs. Eva Lee Newhouse and Mrs. Marian Stark. In addition to the very attractive assortment of refreshments, the serving table featured Mrs, Suc Jurezynski’s unusual round brass candelabrum, with a distinctive ar- rangement of pink hibiscus in the lower part and fifteen tall white tapers in the candleholders of the upper section. The candelabrum, made for her by husband Joe Ju- rezynski as a Christmas present last year, has an authentic Early American craftsman look worthy of Mr. Jurezynski’s metal craftsman’s talents. His skilled metal work on braces for polio and arthritis vic- tims several years ago while he was still in the service here won | him wide recognition.

PERSONALS .. NEWS OF INTEREST | ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE State BPW Pres. Is Given Frock By Ladies’ Shop MAR-ED (Mary and Edna) dress shop owners located in the La Concha Hotel presented and fitted Mrs. Wilhelminia G.Harvey with a “Frank Williamson” dress creation with the compliments of their store and those of the Miami manufacturing dress firm. The gift was occasioned by the return of this local “First Lady,” wife of Mayor C. B. Harvey, to her hometown after being honored by the Tenth District Business and Professional Women’s Clubs in being selected as one of the 15 out- standing career women in the area between Pompano and Key West. The selection was made in connec- tion with National Business Wo- man’s Week celebration. Fourteen ¢areer women were se- lected from the Miami area, and {the judges “dipped down” to the | Southernmost city to choose their own State BPW president as one of the 15. Among the Key West people who were present at the breakfast in | Miami at the time Mrs. Harvey re- | ceived the honor were Mr. & Mrs. | Ellis Finch of the Key West Citizen, Mrs. Joan Mardis of National Studios and her daughter, and BPW | State Secretary, Mrs. Grace Cros- by. Both Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Cros- by spoke on the objectives of a business woman Saturday night over Station WIOD, Miami. On this ; occasion Mrs. Harvey wore a Miami-made ‘Madeline Moore” dress from the Key West Mar-Ed distributor. The Key West choice was based on the outstanding success of Mrs. Harvey in her profession and the contributions she has made to state and civic betterment. During her tenure as Key West BPW president, her history of the club’s achieve- ments won first place in the entire state federation, History repeated itself, because again last year as president of the Key West Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, her leadership won recognition because of the work projected by the chap- ter having won for themselves the title, “Most outstanding Beta chap- ter in the State of Florida” during 1951.

A> s Gerson, CONCH CHOWDER By RAYMER One of the most sincere demons- trations of real regard was the tournout of Public Works depart- ment employees at the farewell dinner Saturday eve for Cmdr. Con- rad Grohs. The songs that were sung were original verse set to familiar tunes. First one was sung by the group and went: G is for the greatness that you stand for R is for the right you always do O is for the other good not men- tioned H is for the honor you hold true S is for your strength which never falters So, Commander, our salute to you. Put this name together, it spells “Good Friend” Whom we’ll miss and rightly,too! There was a little mistiness of the eyes when many of the person- nel said adios. But there was humor, too. Big husky Cmdr. Grohs who looks like a football halfback, reared up and responded in good sportsmanship when asked to sing the other lyric to the tune of “Tip- perary.” He didn’t quaiver while Norman Kranich played piano and warbled “It’s a long way to Subic Bay” with enthusiasm. The gang joined in for a second roaring chorus. Mrs. Grohs said she’d miss “Chowder.” Hope she doesn’t miss this one. SNICKER TIME: and the chort- les are easy: My brother and his frau have started a three week’s vacation north. They dropped me a card picturing a Seminole Indian named “Old Charlie’ who at 90 years of age is shown “whittling” away at a cypress log making a canoe. It does not remind me of anyone by that name, but it does as my brother suggests, remind me of a guy we know named Clarke Batchelor who works for PAA in Miami. He’s a bug on hard wood and is forever praising “‘good old Dade County Pine.” And there by hangs a tale which now ean be told. In 1949 when I moved to Key West, Clarke and my brother drove me and household goods down in a hired truck. That night the boys stayed in the little house back of 410 Caroline st., the old slave quar- ters of the home owned by Jessie Porter Newton. Opal Van Deursen was resident on the ground floor. While admiring the ancient quar- ters, Clarke, who weighs over 200 pounds and is 6 ft five inches tall, banged a fist on one of the arbor supports, saying “You can't beat it. . . good old Dade County Pine.” And a huge slap of the wood eaten by termites promptly crashed down at his feet! While we were in throes of hysterical laughter, Opal ap- proached. Embarrassed Clarke hastily propped the faller wood up and leaned against it with one hand. He was afraid to move while his hostess stood there for fear he would reveal the accident. My brother Bob and I were in silent convulsion during the ten minutes polite exchange of greeting, intro- ductions and conversation. All that time, Clarke stood there with his hand slammed up against the mis- placed piece of “good old Dade County Pine.” He shook hands with his left hand, so that she wouldn’t know what his right one was doing. After Opal left, we all collapsed along with the slab.

The meeting place for this year will be the Junior Chamber of Com- merce Club House on Flagler Ave., near Roosevelt Blvd. The club has formerly met at the Overseas Hotel The change was made because of the more ample playing and park- ing space offered at the Jaycee building, club officials said. The Key West group is affiliated with the American Contract Bridge to play at any of the 1100 other clubs throughout the } country which are members of the League. Winning players in the Key West Association will be awarded tro- phies by the club, and they will be given rating points by the Ameri- can Contract Bridge League. Although the playing of duplicate bridge requires skill and acumen as a bridge player, anyone who is adept at contract is urged to join the local group even though he has not had previous duplicate ex- erience. Interested persons may bring a partner and come to the meeting Monday which will begin at 7:45 p. m, The new officers of the Key West are: president, Victor A. Lang; vice president, Joseph A. Inslee; treasurer, Mrs. Grace Lang; sec- Mrs, Wales A. Benham.
