Fausto’s are really going to have a party! A colossal (always knew I'd get to use that adjective some time) six layer beautifully decorated cake containing $200. buried in its delicious interior will be sliced. Don‘t be greedy and eat too fast — cause you might be the lucky person who will find a plastic capsule in their serving. One of these tiny containers will have FIFTY DOLLARS — two will have TWENTY FIVE $ and ten will have TEN $. So, Fausto’s are really going back to Antoinette days of “Let ‘em eat cake” except that | doubt if Marie gave away any dough — cash or otherwise! You even get ice cream too! Everyone is invited to the par- ty! You don‘t even have to buy any of that tender Armour beef pot roast at 29c. per Ib. — just ignore those delectable Armour frying chickesn at 3%c per Ib— and what if Armour Cloverbloom Grade “A” .eggs are only 39c a dozen (no, you might not have to— but for heaven's sake — how can you help it?) y, Seriously though — Fausto’s Food Palace is one of the finest grocery. stores in Our Town. Everything they sell is tops in quality and the very lowest in price — and all of you — go help them celebrate their 29th Birthday — and you might WIN MONEY just by eating cake! zs = =z Was Julius Stone’s wife, Lee, ever surprised when I answered the phone at Fausto’s!

Then there’s ViAnne and Bob Youmans — their baby sitter is going to be on easy street! And it isn’t easy to work all day like Zola Camus, James Baker, Blanche Hesse and other members of the east are doing and rehearse. night after night for all these week of practice. What are they getting out of all this hard work? Not even a penny. These folks just want to give a hand to a worthy ‘civic project — one that can really mean a lot not only to the Juvenile Home fund — but to the whole town. And the Fiesta is,a home town project — no outside directors and such. They just hope that enough of you will be at the San Carlos to see the hectic gun running days of old Key West unfold before your eyes so that after the expenses of production are paid — things like advertising, printing and mater- ials for the sets, there'll be a tidy sum to turn over to the juvenile home fund. Well, what are you waiting for? Tickets are being sold around town. Why not get yours pronto? I won’t be seeing you there because they don’t encourage pelicans to mingle with all the visiting big wigs, and then too, they’re afraid I might ac-| twins. cidentally get in the way of the television crew! T have news for them, I had ab- solutely no intention of being there because I’m going to be real busy helping the Junior Woman’s Club get ready for the big dance at the Casa Marina on Friday night!
