Trying to make my 7:00 AM deadline, raced into the office yesterday with several pages missing from your “BB”. Dashed home to find that they had slipped under the typewriter — it was quite late when I finished writing, so reck- on they just “curled” up and went to sleep. 4 Of course, even at that hour in the morning — still drowsy — with that “only one cup of coffee” feel- ing — I had shopping on my mind, and what else — but to tell you all — “all!” gsez= Hurry to Herman's Thursday morning!

Imagine my surprise when I found out that she is Eleanor Ro- jas’ cousin! As you know, the Ro- jas are my friends who run that swell Music Shoppe on Duval. In chatting with Eleanor, learn- ed that Maestro Lecuona and com- pany will appear in Tampa —'then New York — then Venzuela, And we'll never forget their perform- ance here. Ssesepaeees What with air conditioning and all that slenderizing equipment, the Adorable Beauty Salon, 924 Simonton is all set to help you lose some “heft”, Less than $2.00 will get you one treatment — but sign up for the “course” and those extra inches of girth will disappear! ssa KEY-notes: Had to stop my car practically in the middle of the street ’cause I was curious about the gentlemen wearing Shrine fez- es. Thought we might be having a convention or something. Found out it was Everett Rivas, Jessie Montgomery and Harrell Flowers who were busy aiding ‘the fund for Key. West's Crippled Children. So take a chance and help this vital and worthy cause! somes Dinoer at the Candlelight Inn will always be remembered ‘cause it is a gracious old home on Virginia Street, just above White.

ZSeee=2 HEAD HANGING OR APOLO- GIES TO: Miss Eileen Williams for getting those baskets from “Bermuda” — when all the Key Westers know she was speaking of “Nassau Baskets”. — Julio Cabanas for not being able to take in the Sunday morn- ing dress rehearsal of the “Fili- busters”. Was really sorry to have missed this — But Joan and clocks had a disagreement and when I started to leave, found out a few hours had been misplaced — and she does know how to tell time too — the timepieces had stopped! Anyway, my Red Shawl tells me ti was a good one and ViAnn looks stunning in those gorgeous cos- tumes! S82 ,, ideal Togs, 534 Duval have PF’s” running all over the place. Three guesses as to just what in the world I’m talking about — why those wonderful canvas shoes for children — made by the Heod Rubber Co.— “Posture Formation” is predi- cated on just that principle. The important “PFE” tigid wedge helps keep the weight of the body on the outside of the normal feet — decreasing foot and leg THE KEY WEST CITIZEN muscle strain. These grand shoes help your kids be comfortable in all their energetic antics of Sum- mertime. Look for the initials “PF” on the insole and be assured of the best in canvas shoes. Also, while at Ideal, you can pick up bath- ing suits — trunks — dugarees — all the things to go with your children’s “PF” shoes. sa2ag3 22 My Red Shawl tells me of an- other parade — Goodie! (Yep, I sure love them!) coming up Fri- day evening to celebrate “Fiesta Y Beneficia”. Understand that the Chamber of Commerce and Citi- zen floats have been held here to be redecorated and we’ll again see these handsome ones. 2am s Please don’t misunderstand when I say there’s everything “fishy” at Lowe's Fish Company, 900 Caroline. However, you should be glad this is so — ‘cause where else would you find such a variety of fresh fish and sea- food in Our Town? My thoughts always seem to “turn turtle’ every time | think of Lowe's! Ground for “‘turtle- burgers” — tenderized for steak — a super de luxe taste tre: and so inexpensive too! Grab a bottle of that “Old Sour’ by the neck to marinate your turtle in. Veree good! By the way — don’t add. soda to “Old Sour” think- ink you'll come up with a lime- ade — ‘cause you sure won't — but you'll “come up” with the best fish — shrimps (beeg ones) — scallops, oysters — at Lowe's! B22 e:85 Do you think the “Two Friends” and the “Two Sisters” mentioned in the story of the fire engine racing around following a false alarm — might have been “out” together that evening?

Tickets may be purchased at the high school or at emergency leave involving death or serious illness in the immediate family, disaster relief such as complete loss of possessions by fire, counciling in domestic prob- lems and the most recurrent one— delayed allotment checks! Because Navy families are con- stantly shifting about, it is very critical when the allotment check does not keep up. Here is where a loan from Navy Relief means shelter and food for many service families. The Chaplains and the Red Cross work very close with Navy Re- lief to see that immediate assist- ance is granted depending on the need of the situation. Started to relate some of the humorous incidents I remembered, but decided not to as the work of Navy Relief is a very serious busi- ness and does great good. So, how’s about supporting this great organization by contributing what you can — pennies always make dollars, y’know! s=HBz22 Joan has just presented me to “Mr. s' shall do forthwith! “Tinker” will instant- ly spot the problem and fix it, For all watches or timepieces at your house which are on the blink — here’s a happy note.

It says “Key West Historic Tracts, No. 1” with the latter date. Oh well, to con- tinue — “The auctions are held daily at 10 a.m. on the open street. Every- thing is sold — horses, mules, wag- ons, meats and vegetables, fruits and furniture, dry goods and real estate. “Wonderful bargains can be had at times "— oranges fifty cents a hundred, pineapples a cent apiece, bananas ten cents a bunch, and so on.

Much of the action in the play revolved around “Tia Maria,” the aunt of Solita and her brother Jaun. She is a Spanish - Cuban exile an impulsive, affectionate and zea- lous patriot whose one thought is Cuban liberty. The wife of a Cu- ban general killed in fighting for Cuban independence, she flees to Key West where she finds a haven and a spot where she can still car- ry on her fight, by sending arms, medicine, and supplies to Cuba. She gives all that she has — her home and her money to the Cuban cause. In the end she is brought to trial in a US Federal Court, but is extenuated by the sinking of the Maine and our entrance into the war. Eva Warner Gibson is giving an excellent portrayal in this dif- ficult part. The cast is proud, too, of James Baker, who in his first stage part, gives an excellent characterization of Lt. St. John. James, is playing a difficult part. In the play, he finds that the girl he wishes to marry is a filibuster — actively engaged in shipping arms to Cuba. His one thought is to get her away from Key West and north to his mother until the affair of the rifles missing from Fort Taylor has blown over. Bob Youmans is right at home in his role of US Attorney Jackson. Sent to Key West to put Tia Maria and Solita in jail, he is a “‘carpet- bagger” in the eyes of Key West- ers for their sympathy is with Tia Maria and Solita and in their fight for Cuba’s liberty. Even Judge Browning, portrayed by Guy Car- leton, is antagonistic to the US at- torney, and he fights an uphill bat- tle throughout the third act. Bob, however is a capable actor, and handlgs the difficult part with ease. The cast of “The Filibusters,”’ in the order of appearance is Lt. Phi- lip St. John, James Baker; Solita de Olivia, ViAnn’ “Youmans; Lt. Tim ‘Moore;: Frederick M. Hill; Peggy am, Zola Camus; Senor Fernande2*-Ed Giesbert; Senora “Tia Maria’?
