DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor Official Ceremony Installs New Organization Of “Key West DOES” Impresive ceremonies were held recently at the Elks Club to install the newly-formed Drove of DOES. As a result, Key West now boasts a Benevolent Patriotic Order of DOES, known as the “Key West Order of DOES.” . Mrs. Jeanne Christensen, Su- Preme President of Grand Lodge of Does, assisted by Mrs. Betty Funderburke, Deputy Supreme President, both from Orlando, Fla., officiated at the installation. Four others from the Grand Lodge who assisted with’ the in- stallation were Mrs. Elva Mays, Mrs. Bessie Waters, Mrs. Esther LeFever and Mrs. Helen Allar- dice. Fifty charter members were indoctrinated at last night’s meet- ing. But the charter will be held open for 30 more days in order to afford qualified women of Key West the opportunity of becoming @ charter member. The membership is open only to wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, and widows of Elks, and requiring as a condition for such membership an __ identification eard from the Lodge of the Be- meyolent and Protective Order of Elks in which the husband, fath- er, brother, or son is a member fm good standing; or was at the time of his demise. The Order is non-political. The Does have the counsel ‘and friend- ly assistance of a number of distinguished Elks, as the desire is to have the entire organization fm harmony with Elks’ ideals and practices, but still maintain ab- solute independence as a separ- a ite Order. The B. P. 0. Does fill a long- felt want for an organization of Elks Womenfolk with mutual in- terests. And it is the desire of all fo promote more social activi- ties among the members of Elks’ families; to further Benevolent work in the Community, and to stand ready to cooperate with the po in their Charity and Social The elected executive officers are: President, Elaine Cate: First Councilor, Loraine Black- well; Senior Councilor, Nimia Wie tensiey, tessa Ene S , Joanna Krae- ger; ‘Treasurer, Helen Levitt, Outer Guard, Paula Carbonell; Inner Guard, Pearl Reed; Con- ductor, Piedad Archer; Senior ‘Trustee, Nelitina Riggs; Trustee, Doris Neblett; Trustee, Maria Baker — While the syrcintes of- ficers are: Chaplain, Marion Foh; Organist, Mary Betancourt; As- sistant Conductor, Maude Thomp: bse Four Color Bearers: Anita 3} Lol and Romona Knight.

The fine Larry Lloyd orchestra from the Casa Marina backed part of the show and also alternated in play- ing dance music. Louis Carbonell was m. ¢. for the floorshow. His rebel yell of ap-| preciation added fire to the kind- led enthusiasm of the patrons. The Casa Marina owner, Max Marmorstein and the _ hotel's manager, Emmett Conniff, were voted hearty thanks for their co-} operation in making the affair such a success, The hotel’s singer, Betty Madi- gan sang vivacious calypso songs, one of her best mediums. Lone Allen sang a ballad and then de- monstrated the art of baton twirl- ing, intricate double maneuvers done with grace and skill. Larry Cederberg, who sang “This Love Of Mine,” and “I Only Have Eyes For You,” utterly captivated lis-| teners. He has a pleasant easy style and good range. Hilarious finale was presented by Ravena, a pantomime topper who combined athletic acrobatic antics with timing to records. Her clowning brought down the house . or rather the patio. Door prizes of a hand made bag from Mrs. Key’s handcraft work, 616 Duval; dance lessons from Arthur Murray’s Studio, and other giveaways were pre- sented to guests.

He said that changes in town with new building, motels, shops, and in the streets, amazed him but that Key West was the same in one way: “The people are so darn friendly.” His wife and daughter Sally, 16, went to Havana as a sidetrip and Miss Sally was a big help because she has been studying Spanish in high school. . .which reminds me that I missed two classes due to a long working day schedule but hope to be back with Miss Re- mond come Monday. afternoon. Anyway, Ruebush wanted to know if anyone remembered a man for whom he worked as printer’s de- vil. . .down in El Paso, Texas.

One of the hymns is “Art Thou ‘Weary, and asides ‘ike ‘“‘Yep, I forgot my vitamins today,” and “That's the understated quéstion of the week,” had us in mild hysterics. Director Hurka finally said that singers like us were to be seen, ‘Art Thou Languid?”. , .| Mrs. Ruby Smith Named President V.F.W. Auxiliary The V. F. W.
