SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE SUE JONES, Editor ‘Thyrsday, June 17, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 “Buzzards’ Convention” Is Theme For Players’ Scavenger Hunt Tuesday An important part of the Key West Player's activities are the scavenger hunts and parties held every summer. The first one of the current season will be held on Tuesday, June 22. The Players always come up with amusing themes for their social acivities and Tuesday’s ‘Buzzards’ Convention” is no Members, their friends and visitors interested in Little Theatre work will meet at the Barn Theatre, in the rear of the Woman’s Club, 319 Duval Street, for a picnic supper from 6 to 8 p, m. Immediately following the subsi- dance of the “burps,” the “Buz- zards’ Convention” scavenger hunt will begin. The first clue will be in the form of a charade on the stage by the rhyming clues committee, Isadore Bowser, Burret Garnett, Rollene Pollock and George Renna. This alone should be worth the nomin- al entrance fee. As soon as a person or team correctly guesses the charade, they will receive the list of “‘hunt- ed” articles, all carefully describ- ed, .but cunningly so, in’ poetic form — poetic license having been liberally applied — they go out, look for, find and bring back the article they think is meant by each club and the person or team bring- ing in most of the correct articles’ wins first prize, or secondmost- second prize, and hindmost — well, a prize, any way. The food committee, under the eapable direction of Kate Monroe will supply all one wishes to eat, again-for a small charge which will also include the — fee the scavenger hunt. 8 wad it is essential that re- servations for the supper be made jn advance by phoning either Mic- key Renna at 2-3323 or Rollene Pollock at 2-5936. All reservations made must be paid for whether they are used or not. Those com- ing without reservation for the pic- nic will be fed only if there is enough left over! ae who have other plans for supper Tuesday night but who want to participate in the fun of the hunt will only have to pay the en- trance fee which goes towards buy- ing the ee scavenger Bisieget fun and some very weird articles are brought in bas- ed on even more weird interpeta- of the clues. 5 “hs Players stress that you don’t have to be a member to attend the supper and the seavenger hunt.

Your Refrigerator Should Suit Your Family’s Needs By VIVIAN BROWN ) Newsfeatures Writer DO YOU KNOW what:to look for in a refrigerator? Many house- holders confronted with this pro- blem for the first time find it puz- aling. There are so many decisions to make — whether certain. fea- tures are worth extra cost, how large a refrigerator is mecessary for a particular household,-whether to buy white or colored appliances. The first decision is size. An 8 cubic foot refrigerator usually is recommended for a famnily of three, a 10 cubic foot refrigerator for a family of 5 and 11 to 15 cubic feet for households of about 8 persons. A frozen food compartment is a great help to the woman who must plan food in- advance, who has a husband and children who takes sandwiches for lunch, and who Brownie Troop 17 Holds “Fly Up” Ceremony A “fly-up” ceremony and party marked the end of Brownie Troop 17’s activities for the summer. The fly-up ceremony was held on June 8 at the home of Mrs. Don- ald Dunton at which members of Brownie Troop 17 and representa- tives of Intermediate Troop 14 par- ticipated. The ceremony began with the pledge of allegiance to the Flag. The following Brownies, Carol Dun- ton, Tana Kakol, Sandra Smith and Janet White, having completed the Girl Scout Tenderfoot requirements were called upon to tell what they had enjoyed most about being Brownies. These girls were then presented with their fly-up “wings” by the Brownie Troop Leaders, Mrs. Don- ald Dunton and Mrs. Richard Graf- fy and were told that thev were now ready to cross the bridge to Intermediate Scouting. After cross- ing a.rusti¢ bridge banked by flow- ers and pine boughs, each fly-up was received by the leader of In- termediate Troop 14, Mrs. Fred Enander. The girls then repeated their Girl Scout Promise and were presented their Girl Scout pin by Mrs. Enander and invested as Girl Scouts. They were welcomed by repre- sentatives of Troop 14, Sherry Fin- cher, Judy Beyer and Susan Young. The ceremony ended with every- one singing “Girl Scouts Togeth- er.” Refreshments were then serv- Twist Of Dial Is Cure For TV Teeth Tbh ¥C (Newsfeatures Writer Now the British dentists are con- cerned about the new unpleasant- ness they call “television teeth.” It afflicts children of television homes and is caused, as I understand it, by the little ones getting so wrap- ped up in whatever it is that Bri- tish children look at instead of Hoppy, Roy, Gene and Howdie Doodie that they clench their teeth and make them crooked. - I hear American dentists have al- ready accused the channels as de- spoilers of teeth. Maybe not so much lately because they are cam- paigning busily against lollipops to divert children from the needle when they’got their anti-polio shots. I know my dentist, when my mouth is stuffed with equipment, is much more interested in asking me questions about my sugar con- sumption than my viewing habits. British television, like British ra- dio and British films, is probably different from ours. But if televi- sion is injuring anybody's teeth in this country, I’d say it was the adult’s, And I'd also say the in- jury wouldn’t come from clench- ing teeth in rapt concentration but from grinding them in sheer, frus- trated anguish. I sometimes think I'll be down to the gum line after another year of stoically paying the price for entertainment by suffering some types of commericals. I also suffer serious dental trau- ma from the smooth and smiling young people who go into ecstasies when they take a sip of instant céffee, lick a spoonful of ice cream, quaff a glass of beer or get behind the wheel of any new or used car. My emotions, translated into frenzied workings on the jaw, are indescribable when, because of cir- cumstances beyond my control, I must watch what the trade calls “agony shows”- in which brave, suffering and needy human beings knot their brows and perspire try- ing to answer such questions as “Who was the first President?” for t wishes to. reduce food cost by care- | $1,500. ful quantity buying. Homemakers who prefer fresh vegetables may favor a refrigera- tor equipped with a larger veget- able container or crisper. These are containers in which fruits, veg- etables and other perishables may be stored without losing top quali- ty. Some refrigerator models offer additional storage space on the in- Side of the door which helps ex- band the size of a refrigerator. Check shelf accessibility. New models have shelves that roll-out. Others are of the “lazy Susan” type which do away with blind reaching or accidental spilling of stored foods. Automatic defrosting units erase the task of defrosting requiring the removal of the contents of the re- frigerator. Often a refrigerator takes so long to defrost that frozen foods are spoiled. If you entertain often you will not only want a roomy refrigerator to hold the multitude of dishes you may make in advance, but you'll probably want a refrigerator that produces a large number of ice cubes rapidly. Newer refrigerators produce a batch of ice cubes in about 90 minutes. Some continue to make ice cubes automatically as they are removed from the tray. There are many pastel colored kitchen appliances of porcelain en- amel on the market. There are cheerful blues, green and yellows 300, After weeks of concentrated viewing of proceedings referred to generally as ‘‘the hearings,” it’s a wonder a tooth is left in the mouth of any housewife in the nation. The suspense, the haggling, the flash- ing wit, the repetition, the ham- mering — very tough on the teeth. Actually, the ‘preventive for tele- vision teeth is already in our hands: a turn of the dial to the left and the picture disappears. | It’s funny more of us don’t think of trying it. —EEx= aes Girl Scout Council Board Meeting Tonight The board of directors of the Florida Keys Girl Scout Coun- cil will meet at the Wesley House, 1100 Varela Street, at 8:00 p.m. tonight.

And after much planning, chances TELEPHONE: Citizen Office, 25661 a 4 4 a9 are you may arrive at your chosen | (a spot minus many things that will make you comfortable, better groomed and more content. The best way to avoid that pos- sibility is to make a list weeks :n| ; advance of your vacation, if pos- sible. Carry it in your handbag or tack it up in your bedroom and jot down items whenever you think of them. Make a list of categories such as “sports,” “beach” or ‘moun- tains” (as the case may be), “‘eve- ning wear,” bedtime,” car” (if you plan to motor), “beauty.” Take each category on a head- to-toe basis. For car travel for in- stance, you’d want a bandanna or a brimmed hat, sun glasses, light but comfortable suit or dress with jacket. In the beauty department you'll want a little kit to carry in the glove compartment for quick brushups at roadside washstands. Equip a little plastic bag with a shacker of talc, soap, wash cloth, sachet, comb and brush. A light scent such as lavender in your toilertries shouldn’t irritate the driver, and will give you a plea- sant and refreshed lift each time you make use of them. Be sure to wrap such grooming aids as nail polish, nail imple- ments, lipsticks and perfumes in cotton batting or cleansing fissues and stuff them into shoes or slip- pers. Such things as sweaters are easily forgotten if you depart for your vacation resort on a hot day. But a warm sweater, and even a coat, will, come in handy if the weather turns chilly. Then, too, don’t be afraid you’ll jinx the wea- ther by taking along your umbrel- la and raincoat. These are handy items to keep available in the car.
