SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE SUE JONES, Editor Wednesday, July 28, 1954 THE ‘The thoughts and connotations evoked by the word “home’ have been dealt with in verse, prose and ballad. So, all I shall say is that it was a splendiferously wond- erful feeling to spot Our Town through the cotton and lamb’s wool clouds. When yours truly stepped out on the runway with the marl dazzling all about in the sun—was most sincerely and joy- ously happy to be—Home. May I repeat that it’s a pleasure and privilege t6 chat with you all. The day’s a mite warm, so let’s air condition your buying— catching up with where to go for the best. No doubt you hi the “Big Bargain Days” (Aug. 2, 3, 4) when Our Town's shops will feature “extra-special” specials. For example, Coral Keys Office Suppl 126 Duval Street which carries a complete line of office supplies: will participate. When your supply of paper, clips, folders, etc. needs either replenishing or addition, phone 2-2481 and Coral Keys will give your order immediate and FREE DELIVERY. 3 FASHION Note: hdeed ladies have ‘taken to pipes—smoking them, that is! Saw some small, curvy ones (still speaking of pipes) and I'll bet in no time at all they'll get as fancy as sun glasses. Can’t you just see milady using her jeweled pipe with evening gowns—the sequinned one with cocktail frocks—plain corn cob for those little ‘‘wrap-arounds” worn of aimorning and colored ones for sportswear! ~ e222: How's about going on a scav- enger hunt in your own home? You'll have fun and you can take your finds to the ‘Not New Shop”, 421 Fleming Street where they’ll SELL them FOR YOU. This is a fast way to fatten the family exchequer , Items wanted: for small fry— car seats, high chairs, strollers carriages, bassinettes and cribs. Don’t forget only articles in goed condition and clean will be handled. Miscellaneous items wanted are: sewing machine, cof- fee table, roll-away bed and mat- tress, bookcase,with open shelv- es, bunk beds which separate into twin beds, power mower, 8 mm. movie projector, table mod- el radio, desk with typewriter well, and Praise Be—an old-fash- foned wash bow! and pitcher! Look for any one of the above things, or anything else which has reached the “this we can dis- _ pose of stage’. Take to the Not New Shop, on the Fleming side of the La Concha Hotel — where you can convert chattels (in good condition) into cash. SS S322 Key-notes; The man was of average appearance—well-spoken and well-mannered, and so when he entered one of the local hostel- ries for Books—Our Hero was neither alerted nor alarmed. He requested three books—“‘Three Cen- turies of Ballet”, “The High and Mighty” and one of Andre Gide’s works—then he asked to cash a check. In the course of conversation, the mispronounciation of the word “Islamorada” — started warning signals. Consequently, after the man left, Our Hero sprung into | action and as a result of phone calls from other shops previously visited and now suspicious, and consultations with the local and} county gendarmes — the gent was/ quietly removed from the Bus as it was about to leave. After appropriate inquiry, trial, etc. the man was found to have a long record for other than read- ing ‘and San Quentin was listed amongst his alma maters. Our Hero: George Mills White who still insists such a distinction is dubious and that he is merely a sucker for having cashed a bum check! ~ Sseeez Although fish like to swim, it is not considered dastardly to re- move them from their habitat and place them—broiled or fried upon a platter. If you are fond of seafood, or would just like to meet up with a cooked Snapper er Yellowtail—shrimp or Turtle— the A and B Lobster House, 700 Front Street specialize and are famous for—their seafood din- ners! zexre= HEAD HANGING OR APOLO- GIES TO: The lovely ladies of the JAYSHEES who worked so hard that so many could have great fun at their second “Dip and KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 yours truly could not commentate the “old fashioned bathing suit— with Our Town’s bathing beauties modeling” show. Was most disappointed to have missed it—Joan dittoes me in this— and many thanks to Wilhemina Harvey for doing the honors. Hear it was all a huge success—and am real sorry not to have been there. Was sure thinking of you all though! sz =S22 While fabrics seem to have a special fasination for those who sew, all ladies are interested in making their homes attractive and comfortable. One of the eas- lest ways to do this—is to re- decorate with slipcovers and drapes. The Caroline Shop, 223 Ann Street are experts in the field of fabrics and decoration and their work is guaranteed, but if you wish to “sew your own”, they'll be glad to discuss your “re-do” ideas with you. Their selection of materials (a new shipment will soon be received) is excellent. For instance, erly’s Glo-Sheen which has had extensive write-ups in magazines is found here. : By either phoning 2-593] or dropping in this delightful Shop, you'll find new charm for your home. S222 DIAMOND CUFF LINKS AND MAGNUMS TO: Ray Helm who gallantly leaped over the railing of the pier at the Sun and Sand to rescue me little bonnet which was on its way to join its prede- cessor which went “back to Haiti”, by the same “Blue Water” route. He was visiting Our Town with Frank Bradenburg, Herb West, Jules Hillman, Verne Kramer and Edward Appel—from Johnsville, Pa. Thanks again—and whilst me little’ hat was a bit squishy and damp—soon it dried and is as good as new! S2zmwee Joan often says how glad she is that her mother does not have “weighty” problems, but know that sure shootin’ if they do occur—she'll take me immediate- ly to the—Adorable Beauty Salon, 924 Simonton Street—where they have an extensive array of slend- erizing equipment. The charge is nominal, and you can “while away” the pounds in air-condi- tioned comfort. Se mez Loved the remark one of my friends (Betty Bruce) made about the smoke screen my car sets up and seems to maintain. Thought I should equip it with DDT and help the Mosquito Control. SSSee Days quite frequently have a way of abruptly turning into « “busy daze”, and then having groceries delivered means. a great deal in convenience and time saved. Bill's Supermarket, Poinciana (Phone 2-8880) deliver your order free either in mid-morning or mid-afternoon. Although you all really should drop in this grand grocery store and meet the super-swell people (Bill, Sheila, Momma Jerri and Poppa Louis) , Whose thought is always to help you “serve” your meals by handling a wide and good selec- tion of foods. At Bill’s you will soon discover that they not only carry fine groceries, and excellent meats— but that they have a warmth and friendliness which will make your marketing a pleasure. Be sure and sample that excellent home- made mac: i or potate s: which will be so tasty for your | “summer suppers’. as ‘BYE by BLISS: in absentia—to Floy and Jack Thompson, who with their son Beau left Sunday for |Pawley’s Island, South Carolina.

Also, at Ideal they are always watchful for the latest innova- tions which will make taking care of the kids an F’r_— instance—co!

They practice the whole year through. And come August 16, the Girl Scouts in Key West will acquire even more “know how” during the week-long Day Camp conducted by the Florida Keys Girl Scout Coun- cil. The Scout’s manual, ‘‘Cooking Outdoors,” is full of handy hints. Along with over 50 pages of re- cipes for one-pot meals, “‘stick’’ cooking and other kinds of outdoor dishes, the manual has direction for building fires, kinds of fuel to use, methods of food care and cook-out organization. Scouts often mix all the dry in- Bredients together — including powdered milk — in recipe-size batches and when they arrive at the campsite, it is a simple matter to whip up a batch of biscuits. These are baked in an oven’ con- structed from tin cans. In prepara- tion for cook-outs, Scouts give tin cans the how-to-do treatment — aided by a sturdy Scout knife, and tin shears. Ingenious Girl Scouts learn how to make kettles, stoves, corn pop- pers, skillets, toasters and broil- ers out of various size cans. An “Imu” is a popular method of preparing foods among the local Girl Scouts. No utensils are need- ed for an “Imu.” According to the Scouts, it’s a mode of cooking that was used in ancient days by Medi- terranean countries: Mesopotamia, Afganistan, Siberia and Japan. When they follow this early cook- ing technique, the Scouts line a pit dug on the beach with rocks and build their fire in the pit. When the fire dies down, the rocks are heated and they place the food wrapped in tin foil and wet sea- weed next to the hot rocks and cover the pit with more sand. No beater handy for those pre- mixed flapjacks? That doesn’t up- set a Girl Scout. She cuts a three- forked mangrove branch or twig and twirls it in the flapjack batter between the palms of her hands. Most of the Girl Scouts in this area have had very little chance to put what they have learned into practice and they are more than usually impatient for the date of their first “day camp” to roll around. suction caps and of course, a safety belt. Other new items just received are the “StartRite’ Dual Train- er which is medically correct and the most modern method for this important step in Junior’s growing. Also, a plastic perma nurser which is used as a re- gular bottle, but is unbreakable then there was that indispen- able item which serves many purposes—the Jack and Jill Kid- die Chair which because of its suction capped legs can be used on chairs or in the car. Very easy to tote about too. So, parents you will find use- ful and fascinating furniture for your children, plus all they need in the way of wearing apparel— at the Ideal east ne Was in the Mar-Ed Shop awhile back—scribbling away as usual and looked up to see Carla and Eddi Duckworth watching me with child- like intensity. Explained what I was doing, but am not sure they understood—being only of the age—5 and 7. Enjoyed chatting with their mother Jean and her friend, Bettina Gunderson. Speaking of the Mer-Ed Shop, 421-B Duval Street—must tell you of TERRIFIC BUYS FOR $1.00 which will be found on the table in the middle of the shop on Thursday Morning. Amongst the miscellany will be theese and thatta in the undergarment line—"T” shirts—some bathing suits, etc. Because Mar-Ed car- ries many of the well-known | “mame” lines, you can be assur- | ed that this Thursday Morning | Special will have extraordinarily good values! Another unusual feature now at the Mar-Ed Shop is their “Calypso” windew which dis- plays some of the new bold prints and tropical motifs which have just been received, both in one- piece bathing suits and wrap- around skirts.

S222 PAST PARTICLES: It is with a happy reluctance (?) that the last paragraph of the New York Sun Man’s Sketch — written in 1899 — about Our Town appears: “Wrecks and weather are the remaining topics. No newspapers or books are read. Nothing is known of what is going on in the outer world, and nobody cares. Ex- cept gambling, crime is almost un- known. The people are quiet, peaceful, lazy, religious, ignorant | and blissfully (oh, no!) content.” === = = BARGAINS IN BASKETS! The Ditty Box, 832 Duval Street is one of Our Town's most unique shops.

Many of you all might be new to Our Town and for some reason or other not be interested in this delicacy. However, you have @ wonderful treat in store for you and truly, it is very simple to prepare. Though your fishing luck may be good, — seriously doubt if you're about to catch a green turtle weighing about 400 Ibs. just any ole day in the week. So, by all means — go to Lowe's Fish Company, 900 Caroline and ask for TURTLE either ground for burgers or sliced and tenderized for steaks. Don‘t forget that here you will find fresh seafood also!

Arrangements have been com- pleted for the first of these dances Thursday night, July 29 on the basketball court at Bayview Park, beginning at 7:30. Rev. Eldon Simmons and Mrs. Twylla Fishel have very gracious- ly consented to do the calling. Both are experienced callers, having served in this capacity in Key West and other places. There will be no age limit and it is hoped that a large group will turn out. If they are successful, we will arrange dances every two weeks, Mr. Albury said. Fishing Trip And Fish Fry Enjoyed By Navy Choir Members of the US. Naval Sta- tion Catholic choir are convinced that ‘‘music hath charms” because the fish “‘sure responded” when the group went fishing aboard the “Storm King” on Saturday, July 24. Captain Shirley Garson is the skipper of the ‘Storm King” and George Troff is mate. They caught grouper, yellow tail, grey snapper and porgys. Father Galland is still bragging about the large barracuda that snapped his line. After the group returned, they held a fish fry on Father Galland’s lawn. While waiting for the fish to be cooked, Father Galland showed a collection of colored slides taken when he was serving in Japan. Cecil Carbonells Leave For Extended Vacation Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Carbonell left Sunday for a motor trip to the Carolinas and then to the West Coast.

Be- | cause they had arrived late and were leaving at 1:30 the next day — there was not time for them to visit our shops. Also met Bill Carter who is as- sociated with the program and was fascinated and fatigued at the strenuous schedule of 1500 miles covered set up. They were swell people and know they sure liked Our Town, even in such a brief space of time. 32 = & = Stopped by Einhorn’s Variety Store, corner Angela and Duval and — there are still many, many good buys at great sav- ings to be had!

Best way to beat the pimple and blemish stage is to use some com- mon sense and good living habits. Since acne, to a large extent, is a glandular condition, it often ean be helped by: adequate exercise, | maintaining normal weight and eating habits, plenty of liquids and sufficient rest. Eat the skin-beautifying foods such as leafy green vegetables and lean meats and go sparingly on those highly caloric sweets and fried foods. Make sure that hair, towels, | Powderpuffs, anything that touches your face, is sparkling clean.
