& SUE JONES, Editor SUSEASSSY School was almost out for the summer—the day had been long and warm—and the little boy was red-headed. Consequently, when he acted up, his teacher, Winifred Frizzell ‘told him: he was being punished ‘and would have to stay after school — those time-honored words which we have all heard. | At the end of the school day, his teacher said he could either stay in his room with his head on his desk, or accompany her to a meet- in of the Junior Garden Club—their first. Well, you can readily see the bight the active fourth-grader was caught in. So—he chose the Gar- den Club meeting and felt rather strange that he knew no one there. As in-all such meetings—officers were elected. The kids: were told to just write the name of whom- ever they thought would be a good president on a piece of paper. You can imagine Our Hero’s sur- prise when he was elected Presi- dent of the Junior Garden Club for Truman School!—To say nothing of his teacher’s astonishment! Be- cause she had to leave, she didn’t find out the news until the next day! For the above: This week’s Win- ner of two tickets to the Strand theatre: Mrs. Robbie Wolf, 1000 Johnson Street—mother of Our He- ro—Marty Wolf! (p.s. he’ll make a swell prexy!) £3 Lady eo Thought | was mixed up—s! ped by Nan’s Bookshop and saw flowers in the window! Then re- membered that this little shop on Fleming Street, under the eaves * of the La Concha had just open- ed and they did it with posies but they really sell magazines! Really think the name “Nan’s Magazine Rack” would be more appropriate ‘for here are all the latest periodicals, papers, pocket- beoks, comic books—So, if you're bored—read some of the light literature—Nan's at the La Con- cha on Fleming Street! 25 Se g,' ; My Red Shawl setae that Dor- othy Raymer has really been storming the Big City—she has three publicity free lance jobs — including one for anight club in Nassau! . She has also ‘sold TV scripts.and ideas and is doing mag- azine work! Bet she ends up doing a “Manhattan Clam Chowder”— However, she hasn’t forgotten her “Conch Chowder days”—'cause everytime she picks ‘up the N. Y. Times—she mutters, ‘Look at the typos—and they said there were a lot in the Citizen”! Good luck, Dorothy—you’re not forgotten in Our Town and your many friends send their very best wishes! Sa Ea Looked at my shoe supply and It said, “You shoe do need some shoes, (forgive me—) and you'd better get to the Globe Shoe Store, 510 Fleming—‘cause there is shoe ‘nuf a SHOE SALE!” And boy, yours truly looked at the tables where you can buy shoes for $1.50 and $2.00 (casu- als—wedgies and sandals) and then the $4.00 selection is plac- ed on racks according to size and there are some good buys to be found at the Globe, I'll clue you. Se ees The white is appearing thick and fast in yours truly’s topknot—or why—columnists write “shoes” for “sure” — Joan was bathing Mac in the ‘bathtub—or, from the looks of it— “twas vice versa and then—drip- + ping, soaking Mac jumps out— . circles the apartment— Oh brother—what a mess! For- tunately there’s a mop at hand and Joan, bless her heart, is wiping up the cold running water now found in yours truly’s home. Think I'll escape back to the roaring presses—the jangling ‘tele- phones—the clickty click of the teletype—the conversation — the peace and quiet of the Office! Se @ez For those of you who wish an excellent selection of jewelry— expensive or inexpensive, John- , son's Jewelry Store (that little green jewel box of a shop) 624 Duval will meet with your ap- proval. Here you'll be able to find just what you want! Teo give just an indication of the wide variety they sell that KEEPSAKE DIAMOND RING which is not only beautiful, but an excellent investment inas- » much as you can buy a small one, —turn it in at any time—on a larger one—get FULL CREDIT for the first toward payment of the second! And this goes on, as diamonds grow both small, med- ium and large and larger! Also, remember Father's Day is near—Johnson’s have the pres- ent for hind Page 3j *BYE by BLISS: to all the girl and boy youngsters in Our Town who are headed for the carefree times and new experiences of— Camp this summer. * Know that Sheila Stenslen and Lannie Harris are en route to the Music Camp at Tallahassee and Beau Thompson and Dink Bruce are also campward bound for the first time. Have fun! 2: => & The Bamboo Room, on Smith Lane (422)—just off Duval Street | is an ideal place to entertain visiting parents, relatives or house guests. They’ll enjoy the singing of Don Albion, the play- ing of the Hammond Organ by Jack Hendrix or just watching Television at that “Adult Hour’ “twixt work and dinner! You all will really like. this quiet, relaxing spot. Because the bamboo bar is really extraor- dinarily beautiful, you people who are new in Our Town would teally love seeing it! For a truly charming lounge—the Bamboo Room—422 Smith Lane. g2 > 22 OPEN NOTE TO: Shirley Arthur from Honolulu — please get in touch with yours truly at the Citi- zen 2-5661! g2a: 5 8 Just don’t see how they do it, but that Home Appliance Store, 605 Simonton Street have not only those large items—such as automatic washers (Maytag, Hot- point), deep freezes (Amana), air conditioners (Fedders), re- frigerators (Servel)—but ail the miscellaneous ones you need for the home. Have only named -a few of the well-known manufac: turers of “large appliances” found here, And the housewares items include — paint, hardware, tools, gadgets, — well, if you need it — they have it. Home Appliance Co., across from the phone company—for just about anything your home sends you to the store for! 2m ER Then there’s the one about the architect who was showing one of his houses on a Sunday. The kitch- en had one of those gas Servel re- frigerators that make gice cubes without trays and practically drop a cube in your drink at.a discreet cough, This particular one, however, got on the production line and wouldn’t get. off (those at Home Appliance never do this!). Well, the lad. got Lily cups from the drug store and served people iced water—then he filled the sink and finally dreamed up the idea’ of dumping the _ sur- plus cubes i nthe yard. (Contin- ued below). Zaz ES Don’t forget Mar-Ed Dress || Shop's Bridal Consultant and, Fashion Expert will havea ver- satile program tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. over our local sta- tion. Many subjects of interest will be discussed—including the what to wear for comfort and correctness in the tropics. And as to the latter—the wide array of inexpensive blouses and skirts and shorts “and halters at Mar-Ed Dress Shop, 421-B Du- val seems to yours truly a per- fect answer! One of the charms of Our Town is our informality of dress — and for that tropical | evening date—nothing will be more appropriate or becoming that a lovely “besequined,” or “bepearied,” or “‘berhinestoned skirt worn with a soft, white off the shoulder blouse found at Mar-Ed’s, There are some beau- ties with ‘ruffs and ruffs of eye- let work, or lace or “tatting’’. sf 28 Because tht gas man couldn't be contacted on a Sunday—there was a veritable Sorcerer's Appren- tice done in ice instead of water. Finally he thought of turning off the water supply, so he wouldn’t have to sit up with the refrigera- tor and change its cubes every hour throughout the night! That worked. ezweaze Y’know — sure do love that “Tinker” Pruitt, 402 Southard Street—‘cause he told me to tell you that he'll fix any kind: of clock or watch. He specifically mentioned—that old, dead-tired, beat-up alarm clock which through the years you have de- veloped a fondness for Well—he said, if its hours are aging— bring it in and he'll fix it like new! Also, he now has an excellent assistant — which means speedy repairing of your watch or clock —at Pruitt's! =z ae Ss | My Red Shawl tells me that Lf ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE NEWLY-WEDS —Corporal and Mrs. Enrique A.
