DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor SHOP HOPPING WITH As I said before, February is quite a month for anniversaries. On February 10th in 1846, the Mor- mon exodus began. Those are the boys who believed in trouble in big Packages. I don’t know exactly where they exited to, but anyhow that’s what my calendar says. This is the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Alva Edison in 1847 and is a real important date in our history. Then of course to- | morrow is the birthdate of the great Emancipator, Abraham Lin- coln who was born in 1809. Some schools observe this date as well as Washington’s birthday, and that makes the kids have double cause to celebrate. Rememer all the Log cabin decorations we used to make in School in February? If you haven’t bought your best girl or boyfriend a valentine yet, let me warn you that Valentine’s day is only three days off and you’d better get going. Then of course it’s always a good idea to go shop- ping with me... . xk * If you should go by the Ditty Box, just don’t neglect to stop by the little window and look at the Siamese Jewelry. “Star of Siam” of Thialand has made up some earrings and pins of mel- loware sterling silver in odd fan designs that are exquisite.

At.the very last just before serving add one half cup grated Parmesan cheese. Serve very hot with small hot biscuits and tell me if it isn’t better than grandmom used to make. x * * Its just @ proven fact that everyone has to eat, and it's red it is a mighty expensive proposition. You practically never get any- thing back though, and after the tast crumb is scraped away, you have nothing left except the old bills. That’s why it’s so nice to | know that when you shop at Gulf- Stream you do have something to show for the dollars you spend under their Silver plate plan. For | | | | every doilar you spend, as it is rung up on the dig cash regis- ters, the Gulfstream Food De- partment Stores give you one coupon good for Rogers Silver- plate, made and guaranteed by Oneida Ltd.

There are other items on special order on- ly, all the extra pieces you will want to have with your set, all redeemable for the coupons you will get when. you purchase gro- ceries at Gulfstream. That real- | ly sounds like eating your cake and having it too! x ke I read in a magazine recently that the average American Fami- ly has in electrical appliances and devices at least 40: slaves. This was an article in favor of the emancipation of the 40 slaves and really very funny. However I can’t for the life of me figure out just what they were. The Average fam- ily has in the kitchen, an electric dishwasher, disposal, stove, re- frigerator, water heater, washing- machine, toaster, coffee maker, and Mixmaster. Now altogether, that makes only nine, and I must not be average, because I only have seven of these; Other gadgets in the house might include a radio or two, vacuum, floor waxer, hair dryer, electric fan and electric heater, razor, lamps, and maybe even a typewriter. That brings the total up to ninetzen, and I find myself missing quite a few of these too. This article goes on to say that if it'is ever ruled that our mechan- ical slaves are to be freed, they can just go fix their own cracked tubes and runny solenoids from then on, and stop bothering us about it. We have little doubt that there will be a move toward eman- cipation, now that we have ma chines that can read, thind and re- member too. That will be the day! 5 ike tS One of the most fascinating shops in town to me is the Loom and Needle over on Varella St., just down the block from United where the High School is located.

All proceeds went to funds for March of Dimes.—Citizen Staff Photo, |Players Will Present New Talent In Coming Performance Of “The Bat” An interview with an “Unknown” is something to be considered. However, as it was not an unknown quality but Lt. James W. Gibbs, it turned out to be quite an interview, and many facts were un- earthed about a hitherto “unknown.” On the theatre program of the Key West Player’s latest produc- tion, “‘The Bat” opening on Thurs- day, February 12th, there is a cha- racter listed only as “The Un- known.” being acted by said Jim Gibbs, a newcomer to the Key West Players, and an almost-new- comer to Key West. Jim was born in Cleveland Ohio some thirty years ago. Ht was at this point that he made it quite clear that he is single, and not only that, there are no strings attached. By that, We suppose that he means that the girls in the ports he has visited do not keep any meaningful mementos of one, Lt, Gibbs. To get on with the statistics: Mr. Gibbs served with the U. S. Navy during World War II and since in the active reserves. In civilian life he was in the General Construction He returned to active duty with the Navy in June of 1952 and was sent to Key West in Octo- ber with Anti-submarine squadron I, as a helicopter pilot. He admits absolutely nothing, but hints that the police might get a further in- sight into the prowling business if they investigated the possibility of using Helicopters. Jim got his taste for show biz when he was a leading light in four Olson and Johnson type pro- ductions in Cleveland for American | Legion Blue Babies. He even tried | Bat.” He has really fallen for this | little town, and expects to stay here and make it his home after his release from the Navy in June, 1954. So you can expect to see more of Jim Gibbs in future Key West Players productions. No newcomer to the stage at the | Barn Theatre is Gertrude Splaine who is so capably taking the role of ‘Lizzie’ in “The Bat”, how- ever Dick, her husband, is a brand new member and is making his de- | but as “Richard Fleming.” Unfor- | tunately, this will be no new Lunt- {Fontaine combination as Lizzie is ja jittery maid of doubtful years, and Dick becomes but a ghost of his former self in the early stages of the play. Gertrude and Dick have been | playing opposite each other since |way back in “College Capers” ; when he was induced to play the lead opposite a pretty ingenue | who turned out to be none other |than our Gert. Both are talented | singers and dancers and have been |in many amateur musical come- | dies in other parts of the country. Gertrude will be remembered in {her former roles with the Players | in ‘*The Case of the Crushed Petu- \nias,’ “Kind Lady” and as’ Aunt |Dicie in “For Better or Worse.” | Tickets are available at the Southern-nost Drugstore and the box office. his hand as M.C. in a minor night- | _ club in Chicago. Among other things, Jim has sold used cars which of course has absolutely nothing to do with his role as the “Unknown” in “The NEWLYWED COUPLE WILL LIVE IN CITY Miss Marlene Park, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Park, was married January 31 at Folkston, Ga., to Stephen I.
