(Great progress has been made and it is wise to take ad- vantage of the knowledge gleaned to date.) First — by all means GET THE GAMMA GLOBULIN - injections NOW, because after Thursday and Friday, they can only be given when exposed to po- lio.

At Coral Keys you'll find the complete line of this famous — GOOD pen — SCHAEFFER! RSS f= In. discussing the current polio prevalence. with Dr. Morrison, I reaffirmed the following do’s and don’t which still form the basis of precautionary care: (1) Do not allow children to be- come over-tired. Guard against too strenuous play. (2) Avoid sudden chilling. (3) Emphasize rest - regular schedule for meals, cleanliness, and bedtime. (4) Avoid crowded places as much as possible. (5) Have the Gamma Globulin shots. Si mez Knock, Knock — Who's There? Jamaica! Jamaica, who? ? — Jamaica those smart straw eye- glass cases at the Ditty Box? No, but tht is where they came from!

Seems as if every four years there is — sponsored by Arthur Murray — a ‘Dancers’ Derby” for all his studios. This is a na- tional competition and the studios all over the States run against those of similar size. In the case of Our Town's A. Murray Studio there are fourteen others to out- distance. It all centers about who brings in the most guests. Prizes include, for the winning studio — an all expense trip to Paris for a week. The individual to do the same wins “Lifetime Privileges (2 dancing lessons a month) in Any Arthur Murray Studio In The World” (Navy lads — take note!) and in the local Studio Contest— the prize is a TV set. You pay an entrance fee which includes two dancing lessons bas- ed on the Arthur Murray famous techniques of teaching — plus, Parties! Also, a ticket in the “Pot of Gold” from which flows opportunity for prizes. £32228 My Red Shawl tells me that Miz- pah deBoe (Gene Otto’s sister) and her husband Dr. Michael Price deBoe, of Coral Gables are expect- ing — to add a faun to their family, Elfina, their 13-year-old doe whom they’ve had since she was a few days old is lonely since her playmate — a six-year-old doe Passed away.

New BPW Officers Are Installed At Annual Luncheon On Sunday Betty Stokes, director of District 10, Florida Federation of Busi- ness and Professional Women’s Clubs was installing officer at the annual installation luncheon of the local Business and Professional Women’s Club. The installation was held at Raul’s last Sunday. The invocation was given by Eva Newhouse, followed by a delightful luncheon. Carola Nettles, general Chair- man, introduced the officers and guests. After which Grace Cros- by’s remininiscence of ““BPW His- tory,” brought an enthusiastic round of applause. Everyone equally enjoyed a pan- tomime charmingly rendered by young, attractive Beverly Sim- mons. Outstanding ‘member awards were presented to Dorothy Daniels and Julia Ann Gibson by Wilhel- mina Harvey, a past state presi- dent of the BPW, and a member of the local club. Both Mrs. Dan- iels and Mrs. Gibson are well known for the BPW accomplish- ments. Movies were made of the in- stallation ceremonies and the pre- sentation of the gavel by retiring president, Alice Nix to the new president, Joan Mardis. z Each of the seven new officers was presented with a corsage made up in seven varying hues, and in the vogue of ancient times, each new officer wore her corsage at her waist. Joan Mardis, incoming president, was the ultimate recipient of all corsages, which arrayed against her lovely black gown were espec- ially picturesque. After Mrs. Mardis’ acceptance speech, Mrs. Harvey presented Alice Nix with a past president’s pin and the delightful afternoon was brought to a close with a benediction by Willie Mae Sim- mons, Other officers who were install- ed Sunday are first vice-president, Mrs. Margaret Cusick; second vice president, Rose Cohen; third vice- president, Alice Nix; correspond- ing secretary, Willie Mae Simmons, recording secretary, Julia Ann Gib- son, and treasurer, Miss Sarah Butts.

More than thirty watercolors occupy the walls of the three exhi- bition rooms, most of them dealing with American scenes. New York City is represented by a dozen titles, among them “Cen- tral Park in the Fall,” a delicate and suggestive rendering of trees and falling leaves against the back- ground of tall, hazy buildings. Other Manhattan scenes are “Fif- th Avenue,” “Rain,” ‘Washington Square Backyards,” ‘Greenwich Village,” ‘Down in the Bowery,” “Nocturne,” “Snow Around the Plaza,” “Along Hudson River,” and “Along East River.” There are three paintings of Bos- ton — “Skyline,” “Boylston Street” and “Charles River,” and other- worldly rendition of shadowy shap- es as seen through fog. San Francisco also claims three entries, “Sutter Street,” ‘Market and Beale,” and of course, “China- town,” while Chicago is represent- ed by “Michigan Avenue,” ‘‘Michi- gan Avenue at Night,” and “‘Wrig- ly Building.” Among the country scenes are “Yellowstone Canyon River,” “Ba- re Winter Trees,” “A Sunday Af- ternoon,” and ‘National Park Sky- line, Virginia.” Every picture demonstrates the artist’s virtuosity, even the small- est one of all, which takes the drab, undistinguished central square of Keene, New Hampshire, and meta- morphoses it into a scene of light and beauty. Suzys Note Book Be sure to see the exhibit of watercolors by Chen Chi, fam- ours Chinese - American artist, at E. Martello Towers, and also the work of the students of the art department at Key West High School.

Brilliantly mounted on a scale that places it well above the average Western, this Paramount release pairs the rugged star with sultry Lizabeth Scott, and tidily parlays a volatile romance with action and suspense into a part-fact, part- fancy drama based on a turbulent episode in American history. The period is the closing days of the Civil War, and Ladd, as a Con- federate Cavalary Captain, is do ing a solo cruise of the Colorado Territory to drum up support for the flagging Southern cause. Soon he’s chaperoning gold prospector Arthur Kennedy and girl friend Lizabeth Scott at gun point. Rea- son: to prevent them from turning him over to a border town posse on suspicion of murder. When the notorious General Qu- antrell storms into the area with 500 ragged Southern guerrillas, Ladd joins up with him and turns over the prisoners. In league with a murderous tribe of Indians, Qu- antrell and company ambush Un- ion scouts, sack frontier towns and torture captives. Here Ladd sees that Quantrell is embarked on a campaign of_plunder and murder to make the West his personal bail- iwick, and he does a turnabout. How he fashions the downfall of the power-mad general and saves the life of the girl, who’s playing hob with his pulse, is spelled out in a climax that bristles with ding- dong battle scenes. John Ireland is excellent as the Power crazed Quantrell, and Ar- thur Kennedy acquits himself well, as do all the members of the big supporting cast. With its impact, realism and rousing action, “Red Mountain,” will tingle many a nerve. Protests U.S. Custom + TULSA, Okla. “—Mrs. Ayse, Sebahat?
