And for those who live here all the time—den’t overlook the mar- velous seafood dinners which are served here.

Also, in this complete chil- dren’s store you will see all the i s baby furniture which eing manvfactured these cays, including baby strollers, by “Folda-Rola” (ne, shall resist temptation and not kick that name around—but it is a famous and well-knewn one in the ted- dier‘s furniture world)—this com- pary also make baby swings which “swing” or convert into a car seat. Go in Ideal Togs and look at the handsome “Chiffrobe’ of green plextone with a crib to se. can ng things you need for your young fry. =2=>=2=: Then there's the one about “the woman who is smarter than you think—she skins a wolf to get a mink.” a Was glad to hear that my Mr. ‘Tinker’ Pruitt, who has that darling, tiny, quaint watch re- pair shop at 402 Southard Street found a really excellent assistant because that means your busted watch or clock will not only be | repaired well—but Pruitt’s are now offering faster service—but pts geared always—the same ine, landing, hi ality, ' ing, high quality zz SS == Was yours truly ever flattered last week when I received an in- vitation to a “‘youn people’s par- ty”—and I sure did go and had ever such a good time— One of Our Town’s prettiest belles was the hostess and surpris- ingly enough, did know many of the guests. Of course, must admit they were sons and daughters of friends of mine—however, lemme tell you about this splendid party —then shall return to the rocking chair of age. (What am I saying?) 22322 Just must drop by the Ador- able Beauty Salon, 924 Simonton Street use those gals, Val Locklair and Kay Holland do change the shade of their hair with the time of day and | just can’t keep up with them. + When'! last saw Val, she had suddenly sprouted “black wings’’ that Wella Kollestone tinting pro- cess is really miraculous—at the Adorable! Zi Sez e Couldn’t help pausing at the edge of the beautiful tiled patio and looking out into the spacious and lovely garden—and there was a happy gathering of pretty girls in crisp, dainty party frocks ‘and good looking lads—all slicked » up—and while the colored lights which were strung high up across the yard— aded a great‘deal to the festivities —they sure couldn't compare with the loveliness of fhe young ladies of Our Town—nor all the laughter and fun that was present. Sure didn’t’ know all the young people there, but did see Pat Towner and met her brother, George and the Martinez girls— Dora and Norma — and George Morales (have decided that all young men with thif name are handsome—)—and A®n and June Yates and Jennie Canova —Blan- che Alligood—Paul Pater—Dave Bigelow—Joe Coughlin—Art Lynch —Pete Davis—Bob and Vi Ann Youmans and their house guest— John Terjesen — Judy and Ellen Trevor and their guest—Nancy and oh golly, quite afew more. . ‘And because I just happened to know that the charming hostess would be nineteen the next day and because she was most sweet to think of me—and because all her guests had one big, fine, swell time— may I say — “Happy Birth- day” to — Barbara Adams. Saem@es = “Bennett Builds Better Houses’ and you really should not overlook this excellent con- struction company—M. E. Ben- nett, Duval Street, This reliable firm builds any- thing—so, that cherished dream of “your very own home” might not be as far away as you think, so, why not phone 2-2333 and talk over your housing plans. This company builds well. Their construction is based on long ex- perience in this field and too, don’t forget that building a house here presents different problems ] than you'll find anywhere. | So-if you’re new in Our Town and want a home of your own —or—if you've finally decided to take that step or maybe you a bigger house — you'll r regret calling the M. E. nnett Construction Company! Smee Had seen some good friends in watching television—and so stop- ped to chat with Barbara's par- ents, Letty and Maitland Adams. Said “hi” to Charlotte and How- ard Wilson, Judge Lord and his wife, Mamie—and met Frank and Bannie Shepherd, General Jones and his wife, Shirley and Ernest and Azula Ramsey who were amongst those just visiting. Then Azula played the piano and Miss Doris Johnson sang—and fin- ally, yours truly left this lovely home and pleasant evening and as match. This cool shade . will soothe the baby and its . price will do the same for you. Ideal Togs is the shop for all the I did so—heard the young folks out in the garden singing “There Was | An Old Man’—with great exhub- erance and uncertain harmony and U.S. 1 Likes Life In read about the island, I’m rather pital. Mrs. Colcord, who comes from near the Maine end of U.S. 1 says that her home is right on the highway. She is secretary of the Sears- port Marine Museum in Sears- port, Maine. The Museum is con- sidered to be one of the most prominent of its kind in the country. Over 250 pictures of fa- mous sailing ship masters are ex- hibited there, she says. Mrs. Colcord took over as sec- retary to the Museum after the death of her husband, Lincoln Colcord. Colcord, until his death, was considered to be the most outstanding national authority on Maine sailing ships nich were often called “the best built.” Mrs. Colcord’s husband came from five generations of ship- masters and he was born aboard a sailing ship as the ship rounded the Horn. He sailed ships with his father until he was fourteen. During his life he wrote several sea-faring books which were best sellers of their time. Most of his works on writing were nov- els of the sea. Today they are considered collector’s items. Not only was Mrs. Colcord’s husband a novelist, he was a col- umnist for a newspaper, a radio announcer, a commentator, and a Democrat in Maine. Mrs. Colcord states that they had no arguments over the fact Visitor From The Other End Of Key West By BILL SPILLMAN “Key West is much bigger than I expected,” Frances Colcord, a visitor from the other end of the road, reported. “After all I've amazed.” Mrs. Colcord is visiting her brother, Captain Roger Brooks, USN (ret), of 1600 Francis Street. Brooks is presently in the Naval Hos- they belonged to different polit- ical factions. Mrs. Colcord is a good friend of a well-known visitor to Key West, Waldo Pierce, a nationally known painter and friend of Ern- est Hemingway. They corre- sponded frequently, she said. Mrs. Colcord states that the old shipmasters’ descendents are not “digging clams in Maine” as some people state but have entered in- to fine upstanding trades con- nected with the sea. She told of one old shipmaster’s family from Searsport, which now owns one of the largest import-export busi- nesses on the west coast. Mrs. Colcord told very precise- ly how her father used to teach electrical engineering. She stated that he was instrumental in the design of the dial system which is now in use by the telephone companies. Mrs Colcord, because of her close association with the sea and its subjects, says that she likes Key West most of all because of close proximity to ocean view. She will stay in Key West un- til the latter part of July and then return to Searsport. Mrs. Roger Brooks, wife of Captain Brooks, is presently do- ing post graduate work at the University ef Miami in connec- tion with her school teaching work. < EVERY WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23 12:30—FAWTU Officer’s 8:00—Sacerdotisas Del Hogar’ EVERY Thursday 6:30—Lions Club, at Lions Den, ub Calendar 8:00—Junior Chamber of Commerce, Clubhouse, Flagler Ave. Wives Club 1:30—Amateur Radio Club, Armory Bldg., White and Southard 8:00—BPO Does, Elks Club Annex, 313 Duval Street 8:00—American Legion, Legion Home, Stock Island No. 1, 919 Elizabeth Street 12:15--Rotary Club, St. Paul’s Parish Hall 1:00—Thrift Shop, Navy Commissary, open until 4:00 p, m, 7 Seminary St. 7:30—CAP Cadets, Poinciana Community House 7:30—Princes of Syracuse, Pythian Hall, 728 Fleming St. at the same time heard Miss Doris’ excellent voice singing “Peg 0’ My Heart”— sezpese Bet you all can remember when you wi first married— how very lit you knew of fab- rics, and color schemes—and quite frequently, would get something which you later dis- liked.
