Mrs. Renna announced that the Scavenger Hunt had been most successful, not only from the view- point of+those who enjoyed partici- pating in it, but also that the money taken in exactly balanced the expenses incurred.

Sher, president of the Rotary Club, recently received a letter an eighteen-year-old Eng- lish boy, who is interested in shell collecting; had written him, The boy says in his letter: “Dear Mr. Sher: f I am taking the liberty of writ- ing to you on account of the fact that my father has been a mem- ber of the Rotary Club for over 20 years. I am not actually a member myself,.as I am only 18 and still at school, but when I am at home, I sometimes go to meet- ings organized by the Rotary Club, for the sons and daughters of members. The reason I am writing fo you is that I am a keen shell-collec- tor, but as shell-collecting is not a hobby that many people in this country take part in, I have a great deal of difficulty in obtain- ing any foreign shells. I was wondering, therefore, whether you could put me in touch with somebody in Key West who would be interested in exchanging shells with me. I have read a lot about the wonderful shells that are to be found in Florida and you can probably imagine what a thrill it would give me to re- ceive some from there. Yours sincerely, HUGH TANSLEY.” Young Tansley’s address is Lawrence House, Haileybury and LS.C., Hertford, England.

Swimming Helps | Correct Posture, Figure Faults Every little swimming stroke has a meaning all its own for those who seek beauty. So what better exercise could be devised for summertime charm? The flabby girl can develop a good firm chest and bosom by doing the breast stroke. The leg motion in this stroke helps put ac- tion into hip and thigh muscles where fat likes to accumulate. It helps whittle down the waist, too. Best of all this exercise is just as valuable in developing the thin girl, say advocates of the swim for health theory. The girl with poor posture — slouch or round shoulders — may be helped by the back stroke. This helps unwind that shoulder area and exercise muscles that normal- ly_are neglected. Fatties would do well to culti- vate the American crawl, one sure way to burn up excess fat. The motions firm the legs and thighs and help exercise abdominal mus- cles and back. Every muscle gets a workout with this stroke. Here are some pointers sug- gested by experts to help you de- velop these strokes: The Breast Stroke . . . Bring your arms forward from your side, with ‘your fingers close together just below the water’s surface, When arms are com- pletely stretched out in front of you, turn your palms out and push your arms back until they are on an even level with your shoulders. Then all you have to do is hend your elbows and bring your hands under your chin and you are ready to start again. At the start of the stroke the legs are fully extended with the feet together. Then slowly part the legs by bending the knees. This is continued until the legs are in a V position. When they are completely apart pull them together again in a wedging mo- tion using both your feet and legs. Back Stroke . . . Place right) arm above shoulders with palms | in the water, pulling down through | to the side. When you have com-| pleted three-fourths of the stroke | with the right arm, start the same | action with your left. The leg mo-/| tion is the same as in the Ameri-| can crawl, only it is done on the| back. | American Crawl . . . Extend) fight arm on the surface of the | water and begin moving it back- ward with a downward motion. While doing this you inhale through your mouth with your head facing left. When your right arm reaches a 90 degree angle Night Blooming Cereus Cuttings At Woman’s Club Cuttings of night blooming cere- us are available at the Key West Women’s Club, 319 Duval Street. Anyone who would like some of these cuttings will find them in the yard in back of the club house. The night blooming cereus is one of the most beautiful plants that grows in this area. As it’s name indicates, it blooms only at night. The plant itself will climb on trellises or fences and at this time of the year it takes root easily and is very hardy. The huge white blossoms open so slowly that it is possible to| actually watch them unfold. One of the plants is currently blooming in the front yard at the home of Mrs. William Warren, 511 Eaton Street just across from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Navy Station OWC To Meet At Raul’s The Naval Station Officer’s Wives Club will hold their lunch- eon meeting at Raul’s on Wednes- day, July 14, at 12:30.

Lup: pens and Mrs. H. V. P. Keilly. Reservations must be made with Mrs. Luppens, 2-3511, extension 314, prior to noon July 13. iron. Baste organdie right side |in surprising colors to intrigue the Barn Dance At VFW For Benefit The Sea-Finigee Cootiettes and the Cooties will sponsor an old- fashioned “barn dance” af VFW post home, 325 Elizabeth Street on Saturday night, from 9 to 11 o’clock. Members of the VFW Post 3911 and its auxiliary are invited to at- tend. Guests of members of the four organizations will be wel- comed. Proceeds from the small admis- sion will be used to benefit vet- erans in hospitals. Everyone is urged to wear ging- hams and blue jeans as “hill billy” music and a caller for the square dancing will be provided, and re- freshments will be served. Small Fry Like Animal Faces On Their Washcloths Small boys and girls who don’t like to wash behind their ears sometimes can be coaxed along the plan to cleanliness by a wash- cloth zoo. Mothers can produce wonderful funny-face washcloths from worn bath towels, transfer patterns and a sewing machine. There are also standard transfer patterns available for such animals as a monkey, a lamb, an elephant, a a kitten, a hippopotamus, a lion a horse and practically any other member of the animal kingdom you can mention. Each pattern has a complete transfer alphabet, so you can iden- tify the cloths with the owner's name. Sewing experts suggest that in- stead of embroidering the wash- cloths by hand, you use your sew- ing machine to make fashion stitching outlining the animals’ faces and names. First, stamp the transfer de- sign on organdie, using a warm down over wrong side of washcloth fabric. Work on wrong side of washcloth, using pearl cotton No. 8 in the bobbin. and mercerized thread on top. It’s fun to make the washcloths small fry—try a pink hippo, a a bright green tiger, a blue kitten. Make them for birthdays or for fast-selling bazaar items. , And one last tip: If you buy few terry cloth instead of using old towels, be sure it is treated for non- shrinkage. Otherwise your animal faces will lose their expression.

The leg .motion consists of kick- ing from the thighs down. There are four leg motions to each arm stroke. Besides helping to develop and firm the body, swimming is in- valuable as a complexion beau- tifier. The Key West Citizen Is A FAMILY Newspaper TOMORROW, 8 P.M. HEAR...
