nc SUE JONES, Editor. Wednesday, June 9, 1954 . THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 Some ‘time ago, recall hearing the theory advanced that the wea- ther is directly responsible for many emotional reactions—believe they even traced major crimes through history as having a direct tie-in with the sultry days—the rainy ones—and you all will recall, how the song “Gloomy Sunday” aday to match—was yao s 4 to ie been responsible for many slipping the noose of : wv *, Gracious—what a gory beginning —and today is such a lovely, per- fect one—so, shall we fish our “Three Coins Out of the Fountain’ and take them to the shops in— Our Town. Se Sse Yes, they have skinned those beautiful banana trees at the Banana Tree Grille, 523 Truman. Seems as if there is a “South American’ way to do this, (ask that Mrs, Edwards for details) but the meals found here are prépared in that wonderful “home” way! The Banana Tree has utterly divine, cold fresh fruit salads “topped with that delicious How- ard Johnson sherbert! So, don’t let the name “Grill” mislead you —remember that here they do have excellent dinners also! Sesee GET IN THE SWIM! and you can dance too! A swell new idea for entertainment will be found when the JAYSHEES give their swim-dance at the Key Wester, this Saturday evening. Tickets can be secured at the .FUN! — Hey, don’t forget your bathing suit and also a t6wel! SPLASH! Here are fine, caught each day! All kinds—in- cluding those fillets, or ‘steaks’ off the big ones—like Grouper, Snapper,. Jewfish (all “good eat- ing” fish)—and then too, the little fish like yellowtail, grunts, _ etc. also swim into Lowe's Fish Co.—Se, for your seafood from the salt water—Lowe’s! seas Then there’s young i” Rice om-on le puts—white mice fe so og emit a frightened screi bs And: shudder and shake, as if in a bad dream! : Yours truly forgives you Dick— but "twas a bad moment there! So, don’t punish him, please—Dora— dine. ‘There are days when -yours truly could crawl in that big Amana Food Freezer found at the Home Appliance Co., 605 Simonton Street. But then | think of all the marketing trips (just one to Fauto’s will do it)—all the time saved—the great conveni- ence—the fact that this Amana Freezer is made by a company which has been in the business for years and years and years— ‘And then, | decide to chat with Home Appliance about buying ‘one. Find out it can be done on the Payment Plan—so sure plan to get an Amana! Incidentally — Home Appliance has everything in the world you'd need for the house—large and small! asses Notes I haven’t noted, but now do: Shirley Archer’s excellent Hawaiin dance at the Casa sever- al nights, plus six or eight or so ago—And, she is from Honolulu. Yes, the Cubans present enjoyed it: too — very impromptu — very good! ‘ gsSeHe2 All yours truly wanted to do was see if there was a clock in the “Old North Church"—and if tt wasn’t running, — why Mr. Pruitt, 404 Southard Street should have been there to fix it. “Cause he repairs watches and clocks so very well—puts in crys- tals too— By the way, remember my tell- ing you that this is a wee, small shop—next to my Poray Studio —s0, don't do what a good friend of mine did—looked but couldn't find! Pruitt’s 404 Southard—it’s there to mind your watches! afmeece As I said.above, was looking for the Paul Revere quotation about clocks and churches and things and found the following—which is “What a Modern Radio Sponsor would have done to dear ole Paul R— “One if by land and two if by sea— rs And I will be loaded with Vita- min “B” Ready to ride and spread the alarm; Wheaties will see that I’m kept from harm.” Sesazags Can just see that swell George Stone leaning out of the A and B Lobster House, 700 Front Street —from upstairs, | mean, where the view is unexcelled in Our Town—catching fish for dinner. For all hungry people—go to the A and B Lobster House for Shrimp, Turtle, Lobster—splen- did seafood dinners — prepared with a tang (lime) and a touch (right)! ze es = KEY-notes: Well, whadda you know — the streets are smooth again! Not quite all (Rome wasn’t built in a day—just burned in a night)—but as the old phrase goes, “My dear, we’re getting there”. Hurray and hallelujah! Let’s keep up the good work and finish them all! Think of the pain and anguish and torture that the cars of Our Town will be spared! Why just the other day, a Chev- rolet told-me that the autos were thinking of forming something or other (whatever such inanimate objects do) to defend their springs and bounce! co. 2 2. oe There are times when I’ve been almost convinced that the Ideal Togs, 534 Duval, are sell- ing dollar bills — cause the sav- ings on all their merchandise is so great! Leaned over the counter (and at my age, it wasn’t easy) to read a tag attached to a pair of shorts for boys—It said “Corda- fon’ — A Labtex fabric which means your kids can play in clothes which are cool, crisp, and lightweight this summer when either fishing or remping! Kids play hard outdoors and that means that their duds should be comfortable for them—and easy on Mother when washday rolls around! Seersucker is the perfect answer. Outfit your fami- ly inishirts and shorts made of this “lazy” fabric—no ironing! Scanned the selection of bath- ing suits and dungarees*at Ideal and it\was wonderful! So—go to Ideal for “’klothes for the kid- dies”! S282 My Red Shawl tells me that Susan McAvoy will be visiting Our Town next month with her husband en route to their new home in Jamaica. az2e22e28 “Pas de deux” does not mean “paw the dirt” as you will find out by going to the Arthur Mur- ray Studio, 517¥2 Duval and ask- ing for Princess Nina (you can also phone between 10 and 12 in the morning). She'll be glad to discuss ballet lessons for your children, and how much it will mean to their health and growth. And, by phoning 2-7089, the Arthur Murray Studio you'll get information on ““Student-Teach- er” parties where lessons ed in dancing are put to the test, but needn't worry—cause that “Murray-Magic” step «s_ practi- cally foolproof in making your feet—dancing ones’’—Don’t for- get this airconditioned studio— for both types of dancing—ballet and ballroom. 22 225 WELCOME TO: Blanche Mc- Caughey and her family who have just returned to Our Town. Seem- ed like old times to walk in the Officers’ Club and see the beau- teous blonde Blanche modeling at the Fashion Show. It was good to meet a lot of the Navy girls and the Mar-Ed Fash- ion Show was excellent! Loved Mary Jones in that “super” black number that really was the hit of the show—terrific dress and good- looking gal—And as Yvonne Bail- led said—‘‘Oob-la- aB&ama2 When you show your new home to friends, you'll say with pride —Built by Bennett” — because the M. E. Bennett Construction Company, 217 Duval Street builds anything and everything — so well! As you know building a house —whether it is your first or twentieth just isn’t the same as whipping in to buy a pretzel! You want to know that skill, good materials, experienced la- bor, economy of cost will be yours—as well as, satisfaction with your beautiful home! So— you'll never regret going to the M. E. Bennett Construction Co. sa ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE i a, WEDS LIEUTENANT—Mrs. Frank A. Camstra, Jr. was Miss Virginia Gail Dropp before her marriage at the Naval Station Chapel on Saturday.

She carried a shower bouquet of white orchids and stephanotis. Miss Diane Barber of Muncie, Indiana, Barry College classmate of the bride was maid of honor. Her gown was of pale green ny- lon, with tucked bodice and floor length bouffant skirt.

Robert Niederschmidt, uncle of the bride, was best man. A reception was held at Fort Taylor Officer’s Club immediately following the ceremony.
