Truth of the matter is, I fell fast asleep and didn’t even hear the alarm which I had set just so I’d awaken in time to watch Our Town’s four- teen piece orchestra in action! My Red Shawl tells me that you all will furnish the dance music when the Bartenders and Waiters Union throw a gala tonight at the Cuban Club! Also, hear that you’ll trek to Miami on the 29th to play at the Cuban Club there! Good luck and here’s every wish for continued success! Lee 2s You love all your friends’ child- ren — why, heaveii’s you've known them since — but you sure can’t be blamed for wondering why they all decide to get mar- vied at once — and what with gifts for weddings and showers! Mercy! Take your list of “linens for the bride” to: Pioneer Fab- rics, 622 Duval Street, and you'll be astounded at the beautiful and original items under $5.00 (and some “way under) which will find you striking names off that “Bridal Shower” page like mad!

Here you will find those attrac- tive terry cloth shirts and shorts — with “Key West” emblazoned on them — good souvenirs and can be worn all summer — any- where; Don’t forget, if your kid- dies’ need swimming trunks, or Suits, or sundresses — or just anything — go to Children’s Cor- ner’s SALE! if 2225 $ Perhaps many of you all read the recent article in a Sunday journal — “The Vicious Cycle — Profession, Art, Sport, Obsession” dealing with riders of and lovers of — motorcycling. Our Town’s Cycle Club is called the ‘Key West Angels” and I’d like to tell you a bit about them. (You know we have a .Harley-Davidson .Head- quarters here). While the “Angels” is a very, very small organization — last year they copped first place for the “best dressed, uniformed club” and ‘this year — they have merited second place! Understand — this is a National Championship and means keen competition, between, I believe — at least twenty clubs, in the Na- tional Road Races at Daytona Beach, Florida, The irst place trophy is really a handsome gold one — fairly large, and with the figure of a motorcycle and rider at the very top! The second place award has not been received as yet. The prizes are given on best membership attend- ance, similarity in uniform — “look alikes’”” — belt, shirt, pants, boots, caps etc. : So, here’s “Congratulations” to the ‘Key West Angels’! Our Town is proud of your achievements! StS While the name is ‘Overseas Fruit Market” — that doesn’t mean that you have to travel that far for the best selection of high quality fruit — because — they do it for you! And so all the tropical, exotic fruits you‘ve ever heard of are at the Over- seas — 934 Truman Avenue (it's still “Frank‘s to me)! Papayas, “dillies”, pineapples, choice freshly ripened fruit of every kind is found here — and oh, these mangoes! Poetry has been written about the mango — and I‘m sure the inspiration for same was found on the Over- seas’ fruit stalls! Every kind, shape, color and variety of man- go is sold here. Have a glass of icy cold FRESH ORANGE JUICE — or grape- fruit, to take the warm tempera- ture out of your throat! Relax — look around — be amazed at this shop with the warm person- ality the “mango-ificent”’ fruits (I'm sorry — | just could- n't help that!) and too — all kinds of vegetables —- artichokes, asparagus and so on through the bet — name it, and Over- seas Fruit Market has it! By all means — don‘t miss this shop! ss My Red Shawl tells me the story of the bees. Seems as if Joanna Kraeger found a bunch of them in a hole in her house — suddenly, they swarmed to a bush in her yard. Whilst she was summoning aid to take charge of her buzzing guests — they disappeared! Did someone abscond with them? Can’t think of an easier way of. solving the problem of just what in the world do you do with bees, — honey? [ee fe When you go to Baldwin’s Garden Store, 1101 Simonton Street — don’t say, “Heck, I’ve forgotten the kind of fertilizer | want!’‘ — Merely say, Heck-tor- ganic”, for this is the new ulous plant food your gi shrubs need to be healthier, hap- pier, greener! At last this relia- ble, and well-known fertilizer company has achieved real fame in its field with the first plant food for home use with MILOR- GANITE base. » Naturally, you all understand this might mean anything — but in this case, it means everything “HIAWATHA'S CHILDHOOD”—a cantata, will be presented by the Truman Elementary school chorus at the school auditorium tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. There will also be a special matinee performance Monday afternoon. The chorus is directed by Mrs. Catherine Logan.

Official Party To Be Honored At Fiesta Dance Tomorrow Night The Junior Woman’s Club members will be official hostesses at the grand ball at the Casa Marina tomorrow night which will climax the two-day celebration of the Fiesta Alegre y Beneficia. The official party representing the Cuban Government will be the honored guests at the dance and will be seated at a special table appropriately decorated with miniature Cuban and American flags. + The Junior’s sustaining project is the proposed- juvenile home. Be- eause all proceeds from the dance will be turned over to the building fund, the club decided against se- curing professional entertainment, but any one who has attended one of the Junior Cabarets knows that Eugene Arnold, popular accord- ionist, will also appear on the show, and in keeping with the La- tin theme of the Fiesta, Joan Las- tres and Jerry Pinder will dance the Fandango supported by a chor- they always come up with top|us of students from the Pinder notch entertainment.

Sse m@zs According to an AP dispatch the news that a four month closed sea- son to potect Florida’s green turtles has been declared. You see, the full moon of May has brought sea turtles out of the water to lay their eggs. And of course, you all know what a beau- tiful moon does to people — they do down to beaches — but, they hunt turtles! Naturally, you can understand that the turtles would like privacy to say nothing, of perpetuating the turtle supply. People have been known to run over them with their ears — or flip them on their backs so they can’t move — briefly, peo- ple have been killing turtles! — So, for all you turtles (including the Caribbean ones at Lowe’s) — please rest assured that from May through August, your kinfolk will be spared — however, yours truly understands there isn’t enough manpower “to patrol every beach every night’. And on that note — we'll leave the full moon of May, the people, the beaches — and those turtles. (Am still going to Lowe’s for turtle and that’s legal!) Zzs2e@ezs Everywhere, they ask yours truly — “Has the Evans Studio been sold?” And | say — yes — to “Poray Studio,’ at 404 South- ard. There you will find all of the Evans equipment, plus their backlog of negatives — plus Por- spe you had made at Evans, y’know — now — at Poray! Poray is expanding their air- conditioned studio! Soon, there will be a wine drape — and a gold backdrop and a white one too! They have those “Photo- ganic” speed lights which are cool and comfortable. Also, one of their cameras has the word “smile” pasted on it — and in- deed you will, with the utmost pleasure when you see your por- traits done by Poray! 2222 The turtle lives ’twixt plated decks Which practically conceal its sex.

Joseph Hurka is di- recting and Robert is portraying his first role. My Red Shawl tells me that the selection of this ‘vehicle’ was motivated by Robert’s absorption with “‘all things detective” — brief- ly, he is a budding ‘% private eye”. And, please, all the young ladies and gentlemen who are either act- ing or who plan to attend this swell performance — don’t forget — in the afternoon — your ticket to the “Filibusters”.

Plans had been changed — no rehearsal. When Emily Goddard came out —she looked a bit startled to see me in the middle of the street making notes. Was just copying the marquee. Don’t miss the billing at the San Carlos — it’s chock full of names many of you know, Noticed that the “S” is left off of Bob Youmans — and “Zola” and her last name of “Camus” are sorta separated, but there was not en- ough space for all who worked so hard gn the production.
