SHOP HOP One more month to go and the ald year will die. This will be a teal big one for most folks and especially big for me. This is the month old St. Nick . . . of turkey and Christmas trees, pealing bells, carols and Christmas Joy. This is also the month when my mother and father will visit me, Bill will be home from the Military Aca- demy and Ronnie home from the seas. As I said, it’s going to be ® big month for me and as there aré only 21 more shopping days "til Christmas, I'd better get going. x * * It’s a mighty expensive thing to have gift items autographed in most cases, although leather goods are sometimes done free ‘of charge. However, there are a - lot of things we'd like to give a loved one with a little personal message written on, and now here’s your chance, Over at the J. R. Stowers store, side of the Strand Theatre, :|, the latest in personalized gifts can be had, and for exactly nothing éxtral It’s all done with the new Zenith Autograph tape. For instance, you buy 2 little portable radio for a loved ene. Stowers will supply « little piece of gold tape, which when placed anywhere on the radio you could write, fastened down, then writ- ten on by you with an ordinary pencil, will permanently stencil your message, name, or your friend’s name on the radio.

The measure is sometimes | on Thursday*night. Baked Virginia ham was the mam dish with salads and ‘other dishes supplied by the GSO. Women of the Ley Memorial, First.Presbyterian, Congregational, | First Methodist, and Lutheran Chutches of Key West, topped off the wonderful meal ‘with their | homemade pies of ali’kinds, which they graciously contributed to the | servicemen’s dinner at the USO. The servicemen enjoyed the meal, and many expressed sincere thanks to the GSO and the church wo- men for making the meal possible. The staff of the USO YMCA wishes'to express their thanks too for the cooperation ‘and generous contributions of these girls and wo- men who helped the 250 service- men to enjoy Thanksgiving al- though they were away from their homes. Over 400 servicemen and girls attended the second show of the presented following the buffet. The many acts, from pantomime and | exquisite collection of water col ing of her chosen localities, the nacreous-hued vistas of Florida’s Dixie Cooley was recently honor- ed as one of the 36 artists asked | to exhibit work at the December show at the Metropolitan, Museum Jof Art in New York City. She has the distinction of being the only one in the entire Deep South to make the Metropolitan showing. She is also rated in Who's Who jand Who’s Who in American Art. |She said in a letter, “It is with | Reilly's invitation for the one-man show cu:rent at East Martello | Tower gallery, and am thrilled to exhibit in your beautiful city.” In her own words, ecncerning the mits that what she likes to paint most in the Smokies, ‘“‘are the | little farms with their tiny gardens jand tobacco patches w make most interesting patterns with the peaks rising in the background. | I like almost equally well to paint fish houses in far away little fish- | ing villages of Florida. Lone palms scraping their fronds in the Florida | breeze, the torrid plains, or the |ranches so full of wild life they jresembled the African veldt.” The jreason for these preferences is }understandable. The artist was |born in Georgia and is now a |resident of Clearwater, Fla., -al- though she maintains a studio at Chattanooga, Tenn. She travels | about through the Carolinas, too and of course, lived in Mexico. Wherever, she goes, she has the ability to absorb the ‘genus loci” and to reflect the moods of her| surroundings with both force and delicacy. She tends to be conservative, but | shows pliancy in her technique, | which incidentally has drawn} praise from such famed water- colorists as Frederic Whitaker who wrote, one water colorist to| j another, you know how to do it! | . . Congratulations ... ” | There is something in the way | }she paints her subject material which suggests the rhythm of! llyric, light, lilting, or sometimes | | like» the: majesty of Shakepearian | blank verse used in dramas.
