How- ever, bet they can still see the gorgeous hibiscus and know they can’t miss the Wedgewood blue sky. Speaking of things scenic—give yourself a treat—take a walk to the water’s edge and you will see —right here in Our Town—the ter- rific beauty of moonlight and wa- ter and a panoramic view such as artists for centuries have tried to capture on canvas.

Bon Voyage! zeae Off the living room, you step down into what will be the jalousy- enclosed ‘Florida Room”. The room by itself is large and grace- ful. There are steps’ down to a paved walk which curves out—then completes a circle about one lone and lovely palm tree. Beyond — there all the beauties'and wonder- ments of having the Atlantic Ocean practically at your doorstep—plus the tropical landscape. But let’s go back in the house— eo eS Photographs are the nearest thing to an actual record of events and memories that it is possible to have. Poray Studio, 404 Southard Street de more than just “click the camera’— er squeeze the bulb, or snap the shutter—there is a personal con- cern and interest in each picture made and it shows up so conclu- sively in the finished product. Merely visiting Poray Studio and personally inspecting the photographs and discussing your‘ wishes will immediately make you ‘realize that—the work done by Poray Studio is truly superia- tivel Bemeze In going back through the living Toom, noticed the fireplace which was retained—then crossed through the hall into another large room and frankly, was immediately cap- tivated by the lovely design in the front glass window. This was in THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 been refinished and the hand-cut design had a new sparkle: but the old beauty. Noticed here the Italian hand sculptured scroll work around the top of the chandelier (these were not put in place as yet and the fix- ture wore a white cloth covering). Looking up, saw this pattern car- ried out in the glass transoms. £2 = 2 = Had planned to stop by Bill’s Supermarket out at the Peinci- ana Shopping Center because it is just a swell place to drop in an chat and look around at the neatness and cleanliness and all the market basket items. which include everything for the table. ‘Bill's’ have frozen vegete- bles, and fresh ones—they have cans of this and that and every- thing you need—tuna and hash and those handy, easy te fix things which are so convenient market at Poinciana on your way home—you can shop here until 9:00 p.m., y’knew. [ee eS Am sorta. criss-crossing here, but that how we meandered about and chatted. Entering the kitchen yours truly without a doubt the niftiest idea. Smack in the-center, were the fixtures for the sink! And eventually, a three- way sink will be here—the thought in back of this novel “island” ar- rangement is that—wherever you happen to be—you can just turn around and wash a vegetable or your hands. Heavens, you all know how many trips to the sink are necessary and so, you might keep this practical idea in mind. £5 = 88 Spoke on the phone with Ar- thur the chef down at that won- derful Banana Tree Grille, 523 Truman and learned ‘all about the yummy new ice cream pies.

R. Stowers and, Co., 533 Duval and would like to tell you why this is a sorte special place.

The Key West Rainbow Girls put on a lovely courtesy in her honor after the installation at the Sara- sota Auditorium on Saturday night, and presented her with a gift. Thirty members of the local as- sembly left for Sarasota late Wed- nesday night on a chartered bus. They were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Curry, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lowe and Mr. and Mrs. Fernando Camus. Mr. and Mrs. Hampton drove to Sarasota and Mr. Hampton was his daughter’s escort when she was installed as Grand Worthy Advisor. Miss Hampton received a stand- ing ovation after her acceptance speech. She also received tele- grams from the local Order of Eastern Star and Anchor Lodge. The Eastern Star also sent her a gift. On Thursday afternoon, the Key West Assembly put on a skit at the auditorium. In the space of a few minutes they managed to in- ject a good bit of Key West atmos- phere into the afternoon's pro- ceedings. The girls were dressed to rep- resent sponges, fishermen, bath- ing beauties, tourists — including former President Truman and his FBI escort, sailors, rhnumba dan- cers and vendors of “fresh conchs” and Spanish limes. One of the highlights of the “Pot of Gold” assembly was the award- ing of the attendance banner to the Key West girls. Miss Millicent Taylor was ap- pointed as Grand Drill Leader, and Mrs. Camus will serve as state mother advisor. During the installation ceremony, Betty Sheppard served as install- ing musician;'Sylvia Smith as in- stalling chaplain and Billie Arnold as installing recorder. Miss Evelyn Nettles served as Miss Hampton’s page during the entire assembly. The assembly got under way on Thursday with registration, follow- ed by the skits. On Thursday night, the assembly was formally | opened by the retiring grand wor- thy advisor, Carolyn Fruend. Miss | Fruend gave Miss Hampton a love- | ly introduction. | On Friday morning, the girls held their business session and on Friday afternoon the Grand Cross| of Colors degree at which cere- mony Miss Hampton served as Grand Marshall. Friday night an/ initiation ceremony was held. Saturday morning the girls at- tended a school of instruction fol- lowed by a question and answer period. Saturday afternoon they took advantage of the opportunity to visit the famed Ringling Art! Museum. The assembly was climaxed by the installation Saturday night. It was open to the public and was well attended. Miss Hampton left Sarasota with her parents and they will visit her sister Mrs, Robert Haas, the form- | er Pat Hampton, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, before Miss Hamp- ton goes to Atlantic City on the 6, 7, 8, and 9th of June when she will be Florida’s delegate to the Su- preme Assembly.

MacKay, parole offi- cer of the Connecticut Third Dis- trict Juvenile Court. “The mother has her intersts, the father his, and the child goes his own way. Family activities in which parents and children work and play together are fast disappearing from the American scene.” MacKay thinks that in thus | breaking up the family unit, our American culture is also pro-| moting juvenile delinquency. It has two basic characteristics, he says, which cause most of our trouble with youngsters. They ® 1. Selfishness. “Delinquency, neglect, divorce, desertion, immorality, alcoholism and the acquisition of money to the neglect of family solidarity are all symptoms of our culture that are based on selfishness.” 2. Our social thinking lags be- hind our ability to create. “We must.teach our children to develop their social thinking so it can compete with their scien- tific skills. We can build a car that goes 100 m.p.h., but we can- not teach people to drive it with-| out killing others. We “build a hydrogen bomb, but cannot harness | it for peace.” 5 MacKay says there will always be problem boys and girls until an answer is found to the broken or emotionally disorganized homes that produce them. “Neurotic and immature par- ents produce similar children whe become the same kind of Parents. Rarely does a child surmount the deadening frustra- tion of a broken or disorganized home.” Of his cases, MacKay says, 40 per cent of the youngsters are { from broken homes and another Sale!

Juvenile offenses are sympto- maite of underlying personal or family problems, explains Mac- Kay. “You protect the community by treating the offense. To bring about a readjustment in the child, you must also treat the underly. ing causes.” Most delinquent or emotionally disturbed children suffer from definite lacks in their living pat- terns, MacKay says. A few are: 1. Lack of love and affection, 2. Lack of security—material and emotional. 3. Lack of recognition. 4. Lack of discipline. SLack of variety of ience. 6. Lack of character training. Chances are, if a child doesn't lack any of these things, delin- quency will hold no appeal for him. Midtown Jewelers Watch Repairing 3-5 Day Service 605¥2 DUVAL STREET ARTHRITIS?
