Legion Auxiliary Betty Ann Henning, Millicent Taylor and Alice Vila, local girls were guests at a meeting of the Marthon American Legion Auxili- ary on Monday night, July 19. The young ladies spoke briefly and thanked the organizations res- ponsible for making their visit to Girl’s State possible. It was, they said, a wonderful expérience and taught them many things.

Wednesday, July 21, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 The enrollees were first treated to a short scene by Gertrude Splaine from “The Bat” in which she demonstrated suspense and climax; then came a scene from “Our Town” by Charlotte Penning- ton and Gertrude Splaine, follow- ed by an outstanding demonstra- tion on the part of Jack Clark of a scene from ‘The Valiant.” | As Clark first explained to the group, ‘The Valiant” is a media often used to test or tryout thea- trical hopefuls and that his first “test” in the theatre was this par- ticular scene from ‘The Valiant.” In last night’s portrayal Jack played all three parts including that of the Warden and the Priest as well as that of the lead. At no time was there any question on the part of the listeners as to which part he was portraying and his demonstration was very inspir- ing to the initiates. The main lecture last night, “Stage Movement” was given by Fred Taylor, co-chairman of the committee and he “covered the stage” as well as the lecture in his own inimitable and entertain- ing fashion. é One moment the audience was listening to Ensign Pulver of ‘‘Mr. Roberts,” then Mr. Redlitch of “Bell, Book and Candle” and then Fred Taylor until it became ob- vious that one and all were Fred Taylor and exemplified his state- ment that stage movement should be such that it comes, or at least appears to come, as natural move- ment, not stilted, studied or done with malice aforethought. Some of his demonstrations drew “bellylaughs” and that’s what Fred likes. . .from then on, there was no stopping him and his ‘‘ten min- ute talk’ became a very instruc- tive and highly entertaining ‘‘for- ty minute demonstration.” He will continue his lecture at next Tuesday’s session in “Stage Pantomime or Expression” and, oh boy, will we ever see “ham on stage” then. George White, one of the original charter members of The Players helped Fred out with the classic comment last night saying, “You have shown us how to make an entrance, now show us how to make an exit.” Refreshments were served last night and the committee plans to continue this practice at each ses- sion, augmenting them every third week with a picnic buffet. During these pauses for refresh- ments team members are given the opportunity to become ac- quainted with each other and meet the members of the other teams and discuss the lectures at length. Before the class ended president Mickey Renna displayed a very attractive model of The Barn pre- pared by Buret Garnett incorporat- ing some of the tentatively propos- ed improvements and renovations now being given consideration by the Board of Directors. Next week’s class will start at 8:00 p. m. sharp, Tuesday, July 27. As previously announced, one definitely need not be a member of The Players to attend these free, entertaining and instructive lectures on little theatre work.

A survey |of more than 1,500 women con- |cludes that 96 per cent of them | regularly do their own hair groom- ing. Hair care includes shampooing, | conditioning, setting, massaging {and use of tonics and home per- manents. According to the survey, Prepared by a beauty institute, many women feel personal hair conditioning is practical. Sixty per cent of the women | questioned live in urban areas, 40 per cent in rural sections. Income seemed to have little influence on the frequency of home care: 35 per cent of the women were over the $5,000 bracket, 31 per cent from $3,000 to $5,000, 37 per cent under $3,000. Wide differences are shown in methods of using hair preparations successfully. Some women use them before or after shampooing, and some between washings. a pre-shampoo treatment with a pure petrolatum hair tonic and a hot oil method which calls for steamnig the head with hot, | wring-out towels. The national survey, which took six months to complete, reports many women make the mistake of should be used sparingly, just enough to lubricate the dry ends and give the hair a gloss. Customs in hair care vary with age, dwelling and geography, the survey shows. Home grooming is more popular with Westerners, Southerners, farm women and wo- men over 30 years old. City-dwellers, young women and Easterners tend more toward pro- fessional hair care —() Newsfea- tures.

WHIPPLE, M.D. Sunshine and fresh air are good for youngsters, but for goodness sake don’t let your children get burned to a crisp. Not long ago, I nearly lost a year-old baby with extensive sec- ond degree burns over his back and legs. His mother was on the verge of a nervous collapse when she real- ized what she had done to her ba- by. It was a warm June day with a deep blue cloudless sky. She put the baby in the backyard for his noonday nap. After an hour she picked him up to discover he was limp and clam- my. She could hardly arouse him, and he had absolutely no interest in the lunch she had _ prepared. His entire back was bright red with a few. large blisters forming. She rushed over to my office and we put him in the hospital and started treatment immediately. He pulled through, but it was nip and tuck for a time. The sun is strongest of all the year on June 21 at noon. This is the time of the spring equinox | when the rays of the sun are most vertical and therefore pass through the least amount of air in reach- ing the earth. Early in the morning and late in the afternoon the sun will not burn as quickly as at noon. Some children have thicker skins than others, some have more na- tural pigment. The thicker the skin, the more the pigment, the more natural protection. The thickness of the skin increases with age. A week-old baby should not have more than half a minute exposure to direct June noon sun, At a year, about three minutes would be enough. Most people babies, children and adués — develop pig- ment in the skin in response to exposure to the sun. This pigment, (sun tan, we call it) is a device of the body to protect it against dangerous doses of sunshine. It de- velops slowly. A short exposure the first day can be followed by slightly longer exposures each day thereafter. Af- | ter a couple of weeks there will be enough tan in the skin so that long | exposures will cause no harm. | It is almost always the first | doses of sun that do the damage, | before the tan has developed. | There are some unfortunate peo- | ple who never tan. Their bodies simply lack the ability to form the protective pigment in the skin. Each time they go into the sun they burn, just as most people do | the first time. We don’t know any way to give |these people the ability to make | pigment in their skins. They must | be careful. Sunbonnets, long-sleev- jed shirts and slacks are their only protection. | It is usually very fair-skinned blonds whose ability to make skin Pigment is deficient, though of course not all blonds fail to tan.
