v SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE SUE JONES, Editor ‘Tuesday, June 15, 1954 Would like to,mention a subject which some might consider a bit foreign to the confines of a shop- ping column. Kowever, it is some- thing which yours truly feels very deeply about, and have discovered in meandering about Our Town and chatting with many of you, that our opinions and reactions are similar. It is just that I am fed to the teenth with the ludicrous, asinine, ridiculous, humiliating and utterly juvenile display now going on in the Senate Building of the United States of America, and throughout today’s column would like to dis- cuss it with you all. zee ss * Because it is always disap- pointing after painting the out- side of your house, to watch it get dirty—want te tell you of—some- thing which 1 think fs most ex- traordinary—the DuPont 40 Out- side White—which CLEANS IT- SELF by shedding dirt with every heavy rain! J. R. Stowers Co., 533 Duval, in addition to ios, bikes, and all the items you've read of—carry this excep- tional paint which is a product of that famous chemical com- pany—DuPont! This includes the interior gloss enamel and the truly washable -rubber base paint—"Flow Kote” for walls. Have never seen such an excellent variety of lovely colors — already, shall 1 say — “canned”, , Also by intermixing the basic shades you may have “just the hue for you”. Flow Kote dries in minutes—has no painty odor and practically ap- plies itself as it truly “flows on” your wall. : So, don‘t forget this paint may be obtained at J. R. Stowers Co, Sea = 82 Being a native Washingtonian, I have always had a deep interest in things governmental, and while I can remember the Teapot Dome Scandal and many other untoward occurrences, I can never recall before, being deeply ashamed. Washington used to be a small, sleepy town with many southern characteristics and tendencies. It was always a beautiful and unus- ually clean city. The springs and falls were lovely—but I’ll take Our /Town in the summertime! Even as a kid, would love to take walks and look at the build- ings and think of what they meant —and come away filled with the sense of greatness which was al- ways omnipresent. SEzae22 Enjoy telling you all of Si- mone’s Tours, 510 Southard Street because | am always dis- covering wonderful ways of sav- ing money when travelling! FLY BY THE FAMILY PLAN! Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day are the days to plan your air travel, because by so doing you have the advantage of first class service, including delicious meals—and you save a tremen- dous amount of money. This is how it works—a full fare first class ticket is purchas- ed by the head of the household and the rest of the family go HALF-FARE! — regardless of their age bracket! If you wish to join your husband on a business trip but balked at the expense, you may on these days do so— or even have a short vacation— inasmuch as this schedule gives you thé benefit of the week-end to stay and then return on a Monday! In case, Dad is away Mother can buy tickets under the same plan and take the + whele family to join him! Remember Simone’s Tours are the authorized agent for all scheduled air carriers—domestic and foreign and you may go anywhere in the world with con- fidence when they arrange your reservations! Be sure and inquire about the FAMILY PLAN FLIGHTS on the regular air- lines—National, Delta and East- ern—out of the state of Florida and then connections with other first class flights—on the family plan! -SEBBSeeexz Remember sitting in the vast rotunda of the Library of Congress and just watching the “visitors” who came from far and near— some, it was obvious had saved for years for the trip—just to ‘see the physical representative of all they bélieved in, worked for and loved —their capitol! Needless to say there were all ypes—all races—every stage and age and level of humanity, And I recall, even then being tmpressed with their common bond of love and respect for their country—its ideals—its traditions—its heritage. 22 =e Goodness sakes alive! Went by my Poray Studio and was i THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 really surprised! This is that ex- cellent studio at 404 Southard which take really fine, | life-like photographs. But—they‘ve lifted their front! | mean, their recep. tion room—it is larger and most attractive! The desk for appoint. ments (or you may call 2-3088) is now very modern, very round and very good looking! There is still the tropical touch of bamboo and you can readily see samples of the beautiful work done by—Poray. So, if you're thinking of having your picture taken—think also of— Poray Studio! a2 2 Now the present spectacle in one of these very same _buildings— something transcending mere mis- takes (anyone can make those)— mere politics—mere differences of opinion—mere personalities — is causing not only the loss of dig- nity and humor—prime characteri- zations of America throughout its history—but ugly and unnecessary surgery of the vital beliefs and’ structure of its being. America is and has been and| ® God Willing, always will be strong enough to survive crackpot cults, ideological idiots and anything and everything which might have a tendency to weaken its fibers of existence. However, we are all witnesses to something now which might be successful in doing just that, : S2sm& = Herman’s at 512 Duval Street is really involved in renovations! More things are being torn up and replaced and things added and—well, can hardly wait to see how beautiful this dress shop is going to be. Because of the extensive al- terations—Herman’s will be clos- ed for three weeks. However, if you have something there on the “lay-away” plan—or want to pay your bill during this short time—enter through the “Bud- get Shop” and Albert will be there to help you. Herman is sorry to inconveni- ence you, but soon his store will really be samething to see! Also —the main shop will only be closed three weeks! j ae =22s8 Remember, please, that Ameri- ca’s overwhelming trait of gener- osity—and indeed at times, her seeming gullibility—is based on her knowledge that here we have so, very much and it all came privation and hardship — from a material point of view and a deep realization and active application of. Christianity and what is so very valuable—freedom. This latter, and don’t let’s ever forget it—in peace and war is what has made us the victor—it has been the motivating force un- derneath the great industrial po- tential, plus the, fact that we have always wanted for others — the splendid way of life which we have —democracy. re oe fe See where our Bamboo Room, 422 Smith Lane made the beeg ceety papers! Don Albion whose singing is really excellent was mentioned and the Amusement Editor saidehe might take in the entertainment at the Bamboo Room in — if he came down here. . Now, you all don’t have to go any distance for a wonderful. evening of relaxation in this un- usually lov air conditioned “rendezvous”. The quiet charm —the splendid organ music of Jatk Hendrix—the perfect, icy cold mixtures—all these found at the Bamboo Room—don’t miss it! S282 Now, that yours truly is into this discussion, please join me ‘in an exploration of facts and thoughts. « There is no doubt that commun- ism—in addition to its denial of God —is based on future rule of the world and enslavement of its peo- ple. Recently it has been unm ed (and not by McCarthy) a savage, brutal compelling force aimed at complete conquering, and not as the roseate belief which would bring utopia to mankind. You know, for years and years the Socialist party and Communist party were bona fide minority ones—just as legal as the majori- ty ones—the Democrats and Re- publicans. And the realization of the destructive power of the latter was not then too apparent, 22:82 . Must tell this one about Bill— of “Bill's Supermarket’ out at the Poinciana shopping center. Seems as if one of his cutomers told him he resembled Dean Martin (and he does a bit) and poor lad hasn’t recovered yet. However, all this flattery Officers’ Wives’ Thursday Morning Art €lasses To Be Continued Every Thursday morning about nine o’clock, members of the special interest artists group sponsored by the Officers’ Wives Club gather up their brushes and palettes and dash off to the meeting place for a two-hour class in paint ing. Some of them are working with oils, some with water colors and some are sketching. Each member chooses her, favorite medium \ for her work. The classes are open to officers’ wives at all of the activities in the Key West area. The classes were originally plan- ned as a six lesson course but have+been so popular that they will be continued i . There is a nominal fee for the instruction, and anyone wishing to enroll may do so at anytime. Most of the ori- ginal group which started five weeks ago are planning to keep right on, The first few classes were held at the pool at the Naval Station when instruction was given in still life. All members painted the same subject, but in their chosen medium and with their own inter- petation. Last week the class met at the quaint little pink church on Tru- man Avenue and in spite of de- livery trucks getting in the way, turned out some very creditable sketches of the Colored church. Next: Thursday morning, the class will meet on Front Street near the shrimp docks for their lesson, Each week the class is told where to meet for the following week’s class. The classes begin at 9:30 a, m. and continue until 11:30 . Mm. For information about entering the classes and the necessary ma- terials, contact Mrs. Joseph An- tink of 1025 Laird Street or call her at 2-2178, Agricola has recently returned to Key West after spending a year as director of the Michigan Aca- demy of Art, Saginaw, Michigan. He studied at the Michigan Aca- demy; at the Ringling School of Art in Satasota under Hilton Leech and Gerald Farnsworth; and with the Amigansett School which win- ters in Sarasota and is located at Amigansett, Maine in the summer. Agricola, who is well known in art circles, studied at the Island City School of Art which was con- ducted here under the*direction of Chris Clark, Bill Henry and Ger- ald Leake during the late forties. One of his oils and three pen and ink drawings are in the Mc- Ginnis collection. The Sloane and Eastman collections also have ex- amples of his work. Agricola’s work has also been hung in national and international shows. Locally he is a member of the board of directors of the Key West Art and Historical Society and is a charter member of the Key West Artists Group. Agricola, his wife, DeeDee, and two sons are now. living in Key West. In the néar future, Agrico- la expects to have his new studio ™\ on Stock Island completed. CAP MEETINGS The Civil Air Patrol meets every Thursday at the Poinciana Com- munity Center. the handy KenKit you will find hasn‘t interfered with the mar- velous groceries you'll find here. Couldn’t help but see the wide variety of canned goods—all well- known brands and noticed—that coffee is selling at wholesale— $1.16 a pound (this is good con- sidering the price of caffeine is higher than a cat’s back!)—the tender, high quality Western meat—cut to your order—the personal service — and miany sther outstanding features there. Bill's Supermarket is under the guidance of, as I’ve told you, two young newly-weds (Bill and Sheila) and they are under the supervision of Momma and Pop- pa—and the whole combination makes one of the finest neighbor- hood groceries you've ever seen! [ee 8 8 The Depression years with its vast misery and seemingly hope- lessness played a great part in camouflaging the true aims and ideals of communism. People at that time were concerned primar- ily with eating—and those with fine minds were aware of this and tried to direct - their intellectual energies toward what they believ- ed might be the solving of the world’s ills. Many of you recall the “bull sessions’—the pros and cons dis- cussions of your youth—‘what is happening?” —‘‘where are we g0- ing?” — as, after this last war— young people are still saying. gS = es If you have delayed replacing that worn out, dead tired kitchen floor—or for that matter the bot- tom of any room in the house— NOW FOR ONLY $24.30 (for a 9x12! room)—you can have a new one!

Si 5 = Also, you might recall that “bolsheviks” and “communism” were at one time a source of hum- or—beards, high black hats, long black coats, soap boxes—and now, of course, it just isn’t funny. Why even during the. war, I can recall how Americans who always cham- Pion the underdog, were rooting for the defenders of Stalingrad. Amer- ica notwithstanding its special qualities of humanitarianism, is not stupid. Even a child with all its lovableness will defend itself when attacked. Z2Smazes A and B are the first letters in the alphabet — but the last word in fine seafood dinners is found at the A and B Lobster House! . Everyone in Our Town and all these who might be here for just @ shert time—owe it to them- selves to have one of the ex- cellent lobster, turtle, shrimp or fish platters at least once. And —know you'll return again and again to—the A and B Lobster House, 700 Front Street! se S22 And in spite of the flamboyance and Barnum and Bailey methods of McCarthy’s exploitation of com- munism—the FBI has been work- ing agin’ them long before Joe decided the cause would help his personal ambitions, Also, remem- ber the Dies Committee of yester- year?). After all, one of the important factors in Nixon’s election was the Hiss case. Although our Vice- President has proven a_ stability and decency and dedication to his country which is completely lack- in Joe. Daily revelations of FBI agents who have, at great peril and per- sonal sacrifice worked for years in Communist ranks—only to ex- pose them—barely receive men- tion or attention. Prompt Action, And Know How Removes Stains By VIVIAN BROWN (p) Newsfeatures Writer BACKYARD PICNICS and ter- race buffet parties are fun but are likely to leave their mark in the form of berry and egg stains on summer linens, garden furniture slipcovers and upholstery. Grass STRETCH—st ained linen “over a bowl pour boiling water ‘through it and launder. stains play havoc with summer clothes and cushions. Smart homemakers need _ not worry about these mishaps, ac- cording. to laundering experts. Prompt action and a bit of know- now remove summer stains with- out hazard. Here’s how: CHEESE. . .Scrape off the ex- cess with a table knife. Sponge with cool water and wash in hot soapsuds and rinses. CHOCOLATE. . . Wash in warm soapsuds. If a brown stain re- mains, treat it with hydrogen per- oxide and re-launder promptly. COFFEE AND TEA. ... Pour boiling water from a_ three-foot height through the stained fabric stretched taut over a bowl, Laun- der as usual. EGG. . . Scrape off excess, soak in cold water, wash in warm soap- sudes. If egg contains salad dress- ing, substitute hot soapsuds to re- move oil. FRUITS. . .Methods are the same in removing stains from cooked fruits and berries as from fresh. Dry stains are difficult to Temove so get at the stains Promptly. Sponge peach, pear, cherry, and plum stains with cool water and rub lightly with glycerine. After a few hours, apply a few drops of vinegar, rinse this away after a minute or two, then launder the fabric as usual in soap and water. For other fruits, stretch the stain- ed portion of the fabric over a bowl, fasten with an elastic band or string or place it in an em- broidery hoop. Pour boiling water through the stain from a height. Launder as usual.

Instead, we have the smoke screen of irresponsible accusa- tions, the impact of “big names” hurled at the people, the window dressing of lies, the diversions of some new, fantastic fact to mom- entarily allay, confuse and wrap- ped around these tactics is the emotional appeal to the American- ism which is found so deeply in everyone of us. = Beg Don’t shave your head— Go te Donald's Beauty Shop instead. Zzs2 G22 I hope none will criticize yours truly for ‘crass commercialism” —by mixing ads and such a serious subject but I think and have found by talking with you all—in the shops—merchant and customer —that many of you share a great concern for what is happening in the world and Joe’s shady shenani- gans! : Thank you for allowing me to discuss these things with you to- day. Tomorrow would like to con- tinue just a bit further on the same subject including its effect on scientists and the military. BLISSFULLY YOURS, jeannette ((Ady't.)
