Makes me * oct that maybe Halloween is akin’ up on us. Do you know > origin of Hallowe’en? Well, izy- condensed Encyclopedia says that it is the eve of the vigil of All Saints Day that occurs on November Ist. It has a religious significance and in my book all reference to it as a time of mime and merry making is ignored. Now the man who wrote the squibs for my’ Almanac was a y with ‘a fey sense of humor. séems to have missed up on @indirig anything notable for Oc- tober 10th so he merely noted, “let us fill your prescriptions.” ‘Well, the Shop Hopper has a few to fill too, and here goes with all of ’em. resisting products has now out with a line of baby you sit up and steve i Hi «+ New...

The new cotton gabar- dine skirts are smart too, in gay fell colors and the prinis are ummmnmn.... x * * Hungry? There's a certain tang in the air that recalls old, old recipes when we lived where it's cold in the winter. One of my favorite candies was always on the sill side of grandma's chair, It was sticks of whole cinnamon, all soaked in thick simple syrup for days, Pull it out and the cin- namon is soft and sugary with a quick bite. Tastes best when dribbling down the chin. Dotty Raymer reminisced about this Jat night and we started ex- changing oldies I'll have to look up. ek * 1 love to look at other peo- ple’s flowers, that’s why I like to visit Baldwin's Nursery so well, The new stock is in and T'm told that anyone can grow i in a yard here -- even me with my coal black thumb that kills everything. ‘There are also all kinds of Crotens — the kind of plant whese leaves all look like giant flower petals. T's plentin’ time in Key ‘West — the Almanac not with- standing — and Baldwin's on Simonton Street opposite the Navy Commissary is the place te get the plants. x *«*k It's too bad when such a small minority in a town can give it a bad name, Bad news travels faster than good, you know. Well, now I'd sure hate to have Key West labeled as 8 town where a guy can come to get robbed. It was called to my attention yesterday that we have their headquarters on the Boulevard, and have been really impressed with our beautiful island .... that is until Jast night. They de- cided to see the seamier side and therefore visited one of the seam- ier bistro:. They made their first mistake when they paid for the first round of drinks with a fifty @ollar bill and discovered they | had made it when the waitress returned with two dollars change and then got busy elsewhere.

Now we cannot blame the management of the place for misjudging a girl when he hires her, you can’t always Who’s. The Queen? judge a book by its cover, but we understand she still works there. Let’s clean it up folks, we don’t want to give our town a bad name, * * * Best gift idea >f this or any other season, for now or the Hvliday~. “Big Tops” for little men. These are cotton broad- cloth shirts in white or colors with French Cuffs, including the cuff links and tie. For lit- tle men two to fourteen at on- ‘ly $2. 8 at Ide: Togs of course. On the other hand girls, Ny- lon s‘eer blouses with push up sleeve: just like mom's, black bow tie and all for $2.98. These are Kalle Klassics for little women in white, sizes seven to fourteen. Seems like only yesterday it was last year and we were shouting from the house tops that you should do your Christ- mas Shopping early, even if it is only October, and now we are at it again, because Ideal Togs will be glad to lay your choice a- ~, and you can pay for it just like cash, and have it at Christmas. Po ot Best joke of the last century and old saying, “it’s done with mirrors” has suddenly come true where Jack Hendricks has moved his big Hammond and plays nightly. We like to tell you when we like it, and the mirror be- hind this versatile performer enables everyone to peek over his shoulder. Although we don't think anything he does could possibly be improved on, a cer- tain wig of a wag suggested a graft — not money. I don’t get it. I do get the swing and the zing and the mood of the music, and thank Jack so much for the special attention on the anniver- sary we had to spend alone cry- ing into the gingerale, «kk & How about that — a whole rack of dresses at Beldner's Fall sale for three ninety-eijght, five ninety-eight, and ten dol- themselves voted for three gir Hallowe’en Theme Is Used At N.

He flexes eyebrows in a frown and the differing techniques among the international forces. dribbles his chances by getting PRESBYTERIAN LADIES mixed in gambling. Marshall Thompson does what is required as sports writer, but what is required, according to the seript, isn’t much. William Bishop is the only actor who looks and acts his part as the gambler fixer. Irazel Brooks adds some amusing touches as the girl who believes all moves should be governed by a horoscope. She says she was born under the sign of the fish, Pisces to youse. The story ends on an uncertain note with the crooked team mem- bers being led away with gamblers. The plot is based on the recent sportworld scandals. That at least is authentic. “The Story of Eva Peron” is fas- cinating. It’s a first rate study in the psychology of mass hysteria and mass hypnotism as practiced by the late wife of Argentina’s dic- tator. It opens and closes with views of the weeping maudlin crowds who passed by her bier as her body lay in state. There are BAKE SALE SATURDAY A bake sale will be held by the women of the First Presbyterian Church on Saturday, October 11. Place of the sale is in front of the San Carlos Theatre, and the sale will begin at 10 a.m. Homemade products such as pies, cakes, cupeakes, cookies and the like will be offered for sale. All members of the church and friends of the group are especially urged to take advantage of this oppor- | tunity to buy fresh-baked goods. The most common accident to an iron is a fall from an ironing board. This may break the handle, jam the heat control, or break connect- ions inside the iron. To prevent falls, see that your ironing board is level and steady, and that the flashbacks to other incidents in her spectacular rise from the com- parative obscurity of a bit movie player to the First Lady of Argen- tina, Her charitable work her influence. with the workers of the country are played up. You see Evita chucking the chin of a blonde child, handing out money to the poor. ,. and you also see her drap- ed in a Paris frock and wearing a necklace of diamonds which would have fed a whole town of under- privileged people. There’s drama there, all right. But the real drama is not in Eva Peron’s life alone. It’s'in the trage- dy of supressed freedom of her people glossed over by the display of surface social welfare work.
