Sure hope so — and you did go shopping, es “ beige I enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Couldn’t get her to go swimming at 7:00 a. m. with me, but she sure helped with the Spring housecleaning. We really did quite a bit — y’know, stowing away heavy clothes, and cleaning closets, etc. (ugh!). Then we went to the Sun and Sand and both of us are pretty sunburned. Certainly should know how to avoid this by now but it was so comfortable, with the breeze spanking across the beach, we ral realize how we were out. be course, yours truly went snopping in the sunshine too and I learned of something brand new in Our Town — a Ceramic studio — and then — well, here’s where I went. ei z= HEAR TT FANFARE AND TRUMPETS!

For SOCIETY — PERSONAL ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE Her mother, Mrs. Aquilino Lopez, who helped make the centerpiece, looks on—Photo by Karns. Of Library Benefit evening, May 1. Since the traditional May Day party held at the end of the win- ter season by the Woman’s Club was revived this year, the decora- tive theme centered around a min- iature Maypole placed on a lace covered table. About a foot high it was circled by exquisitely costumed dolls, loan- ed for the occasion by Miss Car- men Lopez, daughter of Judge and Mrs. Lopez. . Colored lights were strung through out the spacious garden and lawn. The refreshment tables teaching, speaking and under- standing this language — they h all the books which will fa- ciliate your learning it. They carry the books used by the Adult Education Classes of the High School. Also, for the youngsters — thei darling little children’s stories in Spanish. If you prefer reading Spanish books, the Book- shop has an excellent selection of novels — both classical and light entertainment. e25>= Simply must quote Robert Ru- ark’s column in case you didn’t read it — on “Writing Can Get You In Trouble’’- ; “To the average non-writer, a writin’ man is a curiousity, like a two-headed calf.. People are es- pecially interested in how long it takes a man to do a certain chore, like a column or a book or a ma- gazine, and seemi slightly hurt when you explain that you haven’ t gone without sleep or food for days.” (Oh, yes? ? ?) res ry imonton Home Appliance, Street (across from the phone company) is the licensed dealer for Maytag, Servel Kelvinator ances including ranges, tors, washing machines, freezers, and ironers.
