COLLINS—and her two children, Larry and Linda, are visiting hg nis tiated Mrs. Collins’ father, Commander Ray Byrns, and Mrs. Byrns, Mrs. Collins is secretary-treasurer of her hus- band’s building materials company. She attended Key West High School in 1939 and 1940, and says she wouldn't recognize either the school or Key West—Staff Photo by Sybil. Constance Collins Is Busy Young Wife, Mother, And Career Woman Constance Collins doesn’t look like the secretary-treasurer of a| St. Paul’s Church flourishing building materials firm operating a fleet of diesel trucks from California all through the Southwest. She looks like a typical young wife and mother, which of course she is, but she is also her husband’s right hand “man”. Mrs. Collins and her children, Larry, who is eight years old, and four old Linda, are here for a short visit with Mrs. Collins’ father, Commander Ray Byrns and Mrs. Byrns. When young Larry was eleyer months old, his parents decided to go into business for themselves. The problem of a “baby sifter” was solved by fencing off a/ por- tion of the office-and using his father’s G.I. mattress for a crib. So it wouldn’t be surprising if his. favorite bedtime story jis the one about. the three little pigs who so industriously built houses — he literally grew up with the \e88, which now employs 22 perggns ‘and covers an area of seven” and a half acres, : Mrs. Collifs frequently , takes over as manager when*her hus- bang, Keith, is out of town, and py y “loves it”. “> ‘The concern serves- se ger throughout the’ Southw with everything “‘except plumbing sup- plies.” , On return trips from Arizona, the trucks bring back the flagstone that is used so extensively in Cali- fornia patios. Mrs. Collins said, ‘A lot of people build their own, and the ladies seem to appreciate the fact that they can talk to me, woman to woman.” She smiled when she said, ‘We started the business on April Fool’s Day in 1947.” Mrs. Collins attended Key West High School in 1939 and 1940. She admitted she wouldn’t have known either the school or the town, since this is her first visit since that time. ‘ She said she missed the bicycles. “Everybody had a bicycle, and we used to take our picnic lunches and ride around the Island and ex- plore the cigar factories.” Larry broke in with the query, “Mother, did you pick any cigar plants?” Then he said he couldn’t swim as well in Key West as he ean in California “because the wa- ter isn’t as salty.” The children miss the big waves, but their mother says, “It’s nice to be able to take them to the beach and not have to worry about’ them or watch them every minute.” Chubby little blonde Linda came in about that time and announced that ‘she had spilled some soda on her dress, but grandfather had got- ten it “all off.” It is the first time they’ve visit- ed their “grandpa” and it is hard to tell who is enjoying their stay the most, the children or Com- mander Byrns. Théy would like to stay longer, but “mother has to get back home and help daddy”. Mrs. Collins says, “If Key West is going to change sé much and ‘so fast, we won't dare\stay away so long next time.” They'll return to Newport, about ninety-five miles north of San Diego early text week.

Take Time Out To Give Your Toes A Touch Of Glamour By VIVIAN BROWN h @® Newsfeatures Beauty Editor This is the season for twinkling toes. Pretty toenails and not-so- pretty toenails spend cooler months in anonymity. But now they may Se kick off their shoes and traipse gaily on sands, grass and terraces. Tired feet will get a lift from a Pedicure. But you can’t rectify an entire winter of neglect in a few seconds. A quick coat of a bright nail polish can’t cover up ragged cuticle, uneven edges of nail and rough tell-tale spots on feet and heels. If you. want to. walk fancy-free with the sunshine, perk up your feet now, Set yourself a schedule of one pedicure a week for a mon- th, then follow with one every 10 days or so. You can do a good pro- fessional pedicure in 20 or 30 min- utes. Here are steps used by sa- lons: 1. Remove old polish with oily polish remover. Moisten a ball of cotton, press it against the nail for a few seconds. Wipe down with a single stroke towards the nail up. This will keep old polish from running into the cuticle. New cream polish removers help condi- tion the cuticle as they remove polish. with an emery board. Scissors may be used if nails are extra long, but take care not to cut too close. Do- not file or cut nails at the corners, for this encourages ingrown nails. Shape gently with emery board or file. 3. Soak your feet in warm, soapy water. Scrub them with a soft brush. Use a pumice stone to make callouses disappear. Dry feet thoroughly, being expecially care- ful to blot moisture between toes. 4. Apply cuticle remover with a cotton wrapped orange stick, work- ing gently around the cuticle and pushing it back. Wipe away loose cuticle with a towel. In loosening dry skin under the nail, be care- ful not to dig or bruise the skin, which is very tender. 5. If you have difficulty keeping your toes apart when you apply polish, try putting rolls of cotton between them. 6. Now you are ready for your favorite shade of polish. Watch the load on the brush. It is better to have not enough than too much which runs down the sides and un- der the cuticle. Oily polish remov- er, however, can be used to clean up these problems. Two coats of polish wear much longer than one. Allow the first coat to dry for a few seconds before the second one is applied for best results. Choose ‘a shade of polish that will go with summer costumes — swim- suits, play clothes and dance dres- ses. This year fashion experts pre- dict that pearly. polishes ranging from silver to tomato shades wili be popular. These complement white, pastels and soft greens and yellows so popular for summer wear. If a good all-around shade of polish is chosen, you won’t need to change it each time you wear a new color. Chip-proof _ polishes are available; too, making the pe- dicure even more foolproof.

A South Floridian asked your Congressman this question the other day. Frankly, the Army - McCarthy hearings appear to me to be ana- logus to the historical Roman tale about Nero’s fiddling while Rome burned. While this bitter fight has been raging on Capitol Hill — with Secretary Stevens accused of hold} ing Private Schine as a hostage; the Army charged with coddling Communists; the shocking revela- tion that the McCarthy side stoop- ed to using doctored photographs and a faked F. B. I. letter — the Kremlin inspired and supported Viet-Minh forces in Indochina have won strategic victories against the free world and the security of the Western Hemisphere has been threatened by Communist infiltra- tion of Guatemala. The charges in this dispute are serious enough to justify appro- priate action against those guilty of wrongdoings; however, these hearings have almost degenerated into a mud slinging campaign which is certainly not a credit to the United States. While a white wash of the charges would be as much of a disgrace as the hear- ings themselves have become, the time is here when politicians should devote their energies to ward developing and implementing a bipartisan foreign policy rather than vilifying each other, hunting headlines, and starring on T. V. The fall of Dien Bien ‘Phu should have been enough to shock the Politicians into the realization that while they were engaged in a tntra- party fight — a gallant free world fortress succumbed to Red aggres- sion and ‘now all of Southeast Asia, with its vast resources, is threatened with being lost to the Communists, The landing in Guatamala of a ship laden with an important arms cargo from a Soviet satellite nation should awaken all to the fact that we are faced with an inter-Ameri- can situation ofdangerous and far Teaching proportions. But even this news found itself buried under the headlines of the hearings. In my opinion, all of the time and money being spent on the Army - McCarthy dispite is not justified, especially at this time when serious international pro- blems should be the major con- cern of our lawmakers.

Sparrow Wants To Be Domestic CHICAGO —Five weeks ago, a baby sparrow fell into the yard of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Babich in suburban Riverdale. Babich, a police lieutenant, and’ his wife Jewel fed the bird with an eye dropper. A week ago, fully feathered, Birdie was put out to begin his normal life. But Birdie disagreed with the idea. Each evening when he is put out he flies to a tree perch nearby. Each morning he waits patiently until the Babich bedroom blinds are opened, then flies to the win- dow sill to be invited inside to breakfast. “FOUR HORSEMEN” ENTER CONTEST WASHINGTON (?—Second place in the annual barber shop quartet singing contest here over the week- end went to a group who call them- selves the “Four Hearsemen.” They sing professionally for an Amarillo, Tex., funeral home.
