SUE JONES, Editor Jeannette It is now 8:00 AM— “Fiesta Time” of a Saturday morning. Even though it will be Tuesday before you read “BB”—well, y’see there’s been large excitement— mucho merriment: and briefly, “Our Town” has been indulging in its inherent capacity for gaiety, music, and dancing and its abili- ty for fun and laughter. The carnival spirit of “Fiesta” is felt everywhere. There was a play and a parade and dancing in the Street—and before yours truly discusses all the happy doings — best we dance to a shop or six first —Da da da—da—da—boom! (rhum- ba!) Se2S2:28 Soon it will be “Poppa’s Day” and the old man deserves a Schaeffer pen from the Coral Keys Office Supply, 126 Duval. Pens and men are synony- mous, and Father g irritated when the former doesn't work. Make sure this never happens, by giving him the best—SCHA- EFFER. Think of how many times a day, he'll need and use this easy-to-write with, depend- able Schaeffer and now, Coral Keys will imprint for free—his name. Also, for his office—have you thought of one of those handsome Schaeffer Desk Sets— make the Old Man happy—give him a Schaeffer! S&S e8 % “FILIBUSTER” FILLERS: Or, seen behind the scenes—the four sailors appearing in the produc- tion were literally shanghaied ° off the streets of Our Town, just a few minutes before the play went on. After recovering from their initial shock — they “trod the boards like professionals; At the end of the performance, some of the scenery was given. a heave-ho out. the window—right on Jack Clarke’s car.

There were indeed quantities of People. Was thrilled to see such a turn-out and there was conversa- tion amongst the older—and high spirits and high stepping dominat- ed the younger groups. Briefly, the People of Our Town had one réal ae time—and it was apparent to. all! : BSaz 2s Don’t forget that the Chil- dren's Corner, Fleming and Simonton are still running their 20% off SALE.

All Chil- dren's Wear — blouses, skirts, shorts, dresses, etc. are included in the storewide reduction. se. 5>82 Leaving the merry street scene, went over to the Casa where the “fiesta theme” was also predomi- nant. The Junior Women’s Club really had a Ball. Everything was just right. Yours truly chatted with Mickey and George Renna, Bob and Vi-Ann Youmans, Jack Clarke and Ruby and many others. And then, I did the tango— something which hasn’t. happened in many a year! Ah yes, Friday was Fiesta Night and it was all pretty wonderful fun. 825 22 Those important Two’ Books for Brides are found at the Bookshop—Fleming between Si- monton and Duval. An especially beautiful white Bible has just been received and the small white prayer book to be carried by the bride. And to sound a practical note— there are all kinds of cookbooks and other énlightening literature. For grooms, the Bookshop has marriage counseling books and cookbooks: too!

Under the mar- quee, in folding chairs sat the Cu- ban National Band and the music they play gives off a rythmic elo- quence the like of which is rarely host, and warm hospitality flowed. The enchantment of the tropical evening, the romance of “being aboard ship’, the elaborate buffet, and again, the musical background made up a most lively and color- ful/panorama.

AP Newsfeatures Truth is something children learn slowly. Children are not born honest or dishonest, truthful or deceitful. They grow up to appreciate the value of honesty. At.3 or 4 years of age a youngster doesn’t quite understand the difference between what goes on in his mind and what goes on in the world about him. He is quite likely to tell a tall tale that he imagined, exactly as he would about something that really happen- ed. — Jimmy told his family at the din- ner table about a wonderful ride he’d had on a fire engine. He was full of details. He sat up on the lad- der, pulled the string and the gong went clang, clang, clang. They tore down the street, went through all the red lights, nearly hit a milk truck and everybody stopped and watched them. Jimmy was excited and certain- ly enjoyed his story. Of course, he didn’t really ride on a fire engine. Probably he’d geen one. that afternoon and had So much wanted to ride on it that he’d come to believe he really had. In fact, he had ridden on it in his imagination. It had been a good experience, and he wanted to share it with his family. This story was an untruth in the adult sense, but to Jimmy it was a vivid experience. That it happen- ed only in his imagination was to him quite beside the point. Jimmy’s family was pretty smart in the ways of children. His Daddy entered into the story: “Did you rescue the princess from the burning building?” he asked. “Yep,” replied Jimmy, ‘‘and she had a crown all full of diamonds.” After a bit Dad said: “You know Jimmy, I believe Mike down at the fire house would let you climb up on his fire en- ine.” “Would he, Daddy?” Jimmy was all eagerness. “Next Sunday we'll walk down ss of a button — loads 14 records — and will give you all it en- joyment. SURPRISE AT STOWERS! Have only told you in detail a- bout this “Victrola” 45, ‘cause know you'll love it — and you get FREE RECORDS!

Believe Jim Durrel, a Lieut. Cmdr. in the Royal Navy summed up the feelings of all with a mighty fine rendition of “Thanks for the Memory”, including references to Conchs and Americans. 2328: Your feet won‘t lead you as- tray — they know the way to Globe Shoe Store, 510 Fleming! Saw two of the best looking sum- mer wedgies for only $4.99. One is very reminiscent of the an- cient days on the Nile — brown shantung with wheat — wide di- agonal strap across the vamp which was studded with simu- lated ancient coins! As custom- ary with all the shoes you find at Globe — their smartness belie their comfort, reasonable price and sturdines: Sie ee Believe my Red Shawl told me rightly that the San Carlos Insti- tute is owned by Cuba and con- tains the “Cuban National School” for people here. An unique fact I discovered was that this is the there and talk to him.” And so it ended. Jimmy knew his father took the tale as a story, but that he could be interested just the same. | In time children come to under-'* stand the difference between make- | believe and the real world.

When the hot and humid nights close in, says a sleep expert, you can keep cool by observing three basic rules. The rules, enumerated by Nor- man Dine, who heads the sieep shop of a New York specialty store are: 1, Keep heat out of the bedroom. 2. Move out heat already inside. 8. Sleep in a bed that ‘absorbs heat from the body. “Heat can be kept out if win- dows are shielded by trees, awn- ings, venetian blinds, or double shades are black and white. The black absorbs the heat and the white, next to the window glass, Teflects it.” As for moving heat out, Dine says an air conditioner is the sim- plest way. Less expensive is the exhaust fan that fits window and take out the humid air. “The bed is the most important factor of all,” Dine insists. It should be located in the air. est part of the room to circulate freely. Bed fans that fit under a bed have been developed recently, Dine says, to move air without produc- ing drafts. A regular electric fan can be used if it will fit under and have} enough space under it for the air | the bed with the air shot down- ward and not on you. Dine says a good way to get the most air circulation from an elec- tric fan is to face it toward a wall about 30 inches away and let the air bounce. “The coolest beds are porous,” our expert explains, ‘‘and the most porous beds are foam latex.” He recommends the new porous nylon sheets — now in an open weave — foam latex pillows and — if you need them — blankets of porous nylon and sheer wool, A helpful gadget is a blanket lift that fits over the end of the bed and raises sheets and blankets off your toes to allow air circulation and remove pressure. “A homemade one would work just as well,” Dine says. Bedtime baths should be body temperature — about 98 degrees— not hot or cold. And if you must read in bed, use fluorescent lamps. They’re cooler. A last suggestion: “Put your hot temper in cold storage and keep calm. All the air conditioners, por- ous mattresses and tepid baths in into anger at the drop of an ice | ered’ is not a meaningless pharse.” 1939, one firm exhibited a huge typewriter, 1,728 times larger than normal weighing 14 tons.
