Community Auditorium. THESE CHANGING TIMES Shortly after 1900, a girl named Annette Keller- man appeared on a public beach near Boston, Mass., in a one-piece bathing suit. She, and her father who ac-| companied her, were hauled before a magistrate and} charged with indecent exposure. Her father told the judge that the one-piece suit, which reached down to the ankles, was not indecent, as| charged, and that it was the only practical suit for a girl who swam twelve-mile distances. This bit of reasoning appealed to most Americans, even those who. shivered at the thought of a girl show-| ing her ankles. And, the march of progress, plus the ap-} peal of Miss Kellerman, established the one-piece bath-| ing suit as acceptable in this country, Times have changed a lot since the early part of the century, when the one-piece bathing suit of Miss; Kellerman shocked the citizens of Boston. Those who} objected to that suit then probably wish young ladies} would wear something more like it today. | Recently, in Baltimore, Annette Kellerman (Mrs.| - 1921 - 1954 Business Manager | | i WORK) ——o Florida Will Continue To Use Gamma Globulin JACKSONVILLE #9 — Gamma Globulin will continue to be dis-| tributed and used by the Florida; State Board of Health as a polio preventive, Wilston T.

Editor, The Citizen like to take this opportunity of thanking you and Mr. mittee reported in Washington they) Cobb for the excellent job of reporting done before and | during our Annual Street Fair. We do feel that the success of this years’ event was due in great measure to your cooperation.
