SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST, TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE SUE JONES, Editor ‘Thursday, July 29, 1954 THE Glancing at the helter-skelter of papers, notes, books, _ pencils, etc.—strewn over the table this | day,—can’t help but wonder why writing can not be accomplished midst neatness and order. It sure sets a gruesome example for Joan. After all she should learn the fund- amentals of efficiency—however, she really nails me to the mast with just a glance at the dining room table (someday—a desk—per- haps??) when I’m reading her the riot act ‘on the care of her possessions, and responsibility for her room. In all fairness—must admit that I take refuge in looking supercilious and as Joan says, “acting like a mother.” Oh, la—shall. we leave the dis- order of the make-shift desk, and travel about Our Town—leisurely glancing at one thing and another and perhaps—buy sumtheeng? Have discoverd, since bouncing around the “Buying Beat” that when the owners of the shops have warm and wonderful person- alties—it is always reflected in the atmosphere of their stores. EBSeeae At Overseas Fruit Market, 934 Truman, you can secure ex- cellent produce and fruits and you'll find that it’s a lot of fun to just look about and chat with Frank, Butch, Momma or Dolly They are never too busy to give your questions time and attention, NOTE TO VISITORS in Oour Town—this is a marvelous way to learn more of the exotic. fruits typical of this area. In the first place, you'll see fruits here which perhaps you've never even heard of. So, let’s have a glass of fresh- ly-squeezed orange juice (only place on the Island for this treat)—and, while you’re sipping —shall tell you of: Bananas of all varieties that are found here. Plantains (large ones) are strung ‘about and then there” are the tiny Cuban ones. You might think that those small yellow things are either overgrown marbles or undersized lemons— but they are KEY LIMES—and yours truly prefers them to the big, green Persian limes and plain lemons also sold at Over- seas. “The Grape Department includ- es all kinds too, but noticed these large, luscious black “Ribier” ones. And, by jingo— they even have cocoanuts here teo—se you don’t have to climb @ tree or wait for one to—fall. Overseas Fruit Market—for anything that grows. Also—they have a most excellent and v: ed selection of Fresh Vegetables. SsSmse For some reason or another, just had not stopped by the Flor- ida National Bank in Our Town in many a month. Imagine my astonishment when I realized that stupendous changes had taken| place and am still flabergasted | at the renovations. However, a wonderful comprise between the “old” and “new” is immediately evident. First thing I noticed were the large and gorgeous palm plants (only in Our Town could you find these in a_ bank). Naturally thought that Helen Trevor had decided to “decorate”, but Jerry! informed me that he had grown them and this particular species was a hobby of his. They are! graceful and beautiful and are known as—‘‘areca lute’—I hope! Seas Bennett Construction Co., 217 Duval Street is known for “Build- ing Better Homes” but thought Vd drop by and talk with Mr. Mac about the many other build- Ings he has constructed in Our Town, The School Board Administra- tion Building exemplifies the good construction work done by Bennett. This is an unusually beautiful building and though it | is modern, it blends very well with the Old Court House and surrounding structures. So, if you're thinking of “build- Ing you a building"—phone 2-2333 | and you'll be assured of the verv best in construction. After all, don’t overlook the fact that Bennett builds with the thought in mind, that keeping maintenance costs in the future down—means great savings for you! And too— he “builds well and good and sound edifices”! So if you're contemplating erecting an apart- ment, or motel. or office. or store—phone BENNETT Con- struction Co. Sseeo= Back to the Bank for a bit— KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 made — there are now 16 win- dows where the green stuff is either ‘drawn out” or “put in”. The ming tree high up over Jerry’s office caught my eye and too, the Georgian and Italian mar- ble is unusually beautiful. What yours truly remembers as the Bank has in part been turned into little rooms for Safety Deposit Box customers. Here in privacy you can count your valuables or as in yours truly’s case—just look at the convenient booths. Of course, the Bank is now aircondi- tioned, too! Altogether was most impressed with how beautiful the Bank in Our Town is! Shortly, would like to tell you of some steel engravings I saw there, but first— “Geing Out fe Dinner” is us- ually a special occasion for the family and many of you prok- ably recall how flat. the festive spirit can fall when the meal wasn’t good! However, this doesn’t happen at the— A and B Lobster House, 700 Front Street you can partake of seafood which has been care- fully and expertly prepared. This charming spot—with its unique view of the shrimp boats and Navy ships passing every now and then, is known in Our Town exclusively for its excellent sea- food dinners! =ze=aeze Seems as if the Harper’s Week- ly (Journal of Civilization—it says), of New York on April 30, 1898 printed the following pictures by James Burton—Special Photo- grapher. The series is entitled “Afloat and Ashore at Key West.” SssSez Bill’s Supermarket at Poinci- ana is a large, airy and neat grocery store. Bi gratulated on his ‘cause as you know he hasn‘t been out of the Army very long, and only recently opened this supermarket. Consequently, yours truly thinks they done a magnificent job. Their meats are of the high- est quality and veree, veree, tender. “Chuck” supervises the cutting and here you can select any amount—or cut with full confidence that your protein course will be highly successful. Their selection of frozen foods, fruits and vegetables, poultry products,—ete. is very good. So, for any of the “grocery list” items you need—at any time (they‘re open Sundays until 2— and also in the evening)—either phone Bill’s Supermarket (2-8880) or stop by. _ = sSee The pictures (original prints) are titled as follows: ‘On Board Mon- itor, ‘Puritan’—lowering Whery Boat. “Capt. Chadwick Inspecting the crew of armored cruiser ‘New York’. “Graves of Twenty Four Victims of the Maine”. Then there was one of “Arrival of Refugees from Havana (brought in by U. S.

" YoU might recall that again yours truly has in mind the MILLER family of the HIGH LIFE clan. Next time the day is warm, ask for “‘Miller’s”—icy cold and once you do, you'll realize that here indeed is a “National Champion of Quality.” Speaking of families—perhaps you'd be interested in knowing that the real Mr. Miller of High Life—lives in Milwaukee—has beautiful wife and eight children! Understand he was “All-Amer- ican” (football) for two years at Notre Dame and that they are swell people, So, don’t forget now—try “MILLER’S HIGH LIFE’’—either can, bottle, or by the case if you're entertaining. Indeed, ‘tis a oly bubbly!

The meeting was held at the VFW Post home, 325 Elizabeth Street. Cooties will have a string orch- estra to entertain the patients, and home-made cakes and punch will be served by the two groups. Gifts of books, postage stamps, stationary and cards will be given to the patients. Home-made fudge will also be included in the gifts as the boys really enjoy home made “eats.” The purpose of the club is to spread goodwill and cheer among the sick, ‘to keep alive good fellow- ship among members, to assist in community service, and to promote good citizenship. The main project of the Cooties and Cootiette is their hospital well rewarded for their time and efforts as they watch the faces of these home-sick boys light up with joy to know that they are remem- bered by various groups. hospital entertainment receives a charm to add to their collection. The object of this is to see which Cootie. or Cootiette will wear the most jeweled charms for their hospital work. Plans for a picnic on Big Pine Key were also made at Monday night’s meeting. Turkey Dinner For VFW, Aux. Tonight A buffet turkey dinner and “all the trimmings” will be served fol- lowisg the joint meeting of VFW, Post 3911 and the Ladies Auxiliary at the Post home, 325 Elizabeth Street, tonight.

This is only one of the specialties on the menu at the Banans Tree Grille, 523 Truman. As this picturesque spot is open for — bre: t, lunch and dinner—yeou really shouldn’t miss having a meal here. Mrs. Ed- wards is extremely charming and her fame for “cookery” is well known. No matter what you order— waffles, or ice cream pie—or those “fried clams’’—or any one of the Howard Johnson ice creams (and there more fla- | vors! )—you will have a fine meal | in delightful surroundings.

These Women By SANDRA NEMSER Iraqi girls claim their American counterparts have too much free- dom in choosing a mate, says Mrs. Mohammad Fadhil Jamali, wife of the Iraq foreign minister. Mrs. Jamali, an Americas, was interviewed in New York at the start of a summer ,speaking tour through this country and Canada. She notes that young women in Iraq, doubtful about our system of courting, ask her: “How do people get married in the West? With so much freedom how can they not go wrong?” In the Middle East, an Iraqi girl can express opinions on her future husband, but the actual marriage proposal is made through an in- termediary to the girl’s father. Af- ter a consultation, the young man is either refused or accepted. Mrs. Jamali, a mother of three teen-age sons, has taught English in Iraq for 22 years. She first met her husband at the University of Chicago, renewed acquaintance in his native country and married him in Baghdad in 1933, She wears no wedding ring because it’s not cus- tomary in Iraq. Although she easily adapted to the absence of some western con- veniences, Mrs. Jamali says she really niisses ready-made clothes. She lets her husband buy clothes for her on his frequent trips abroad. Iraqi women follow all Western styles, says Mrs. Jamali, adding: “Short hairdos are popular, A few girls even go to school in slacks. And when an American fashion magazine arrives, nothing else is read.” Only 20 per cent of Iraq is lit- erate, but Mrs. Jamali says great strides are being taken to improve the general education. She feels Rays Will Return To N.C. After Month’s Stay Here Reverend and Mrs. George Mc- Neill Ray will leave next week to return to Spruce Pine, North Caro- lina, after a month’s stay in Key West.

By BARBARA ENGLISH (Written exclusively for AP News. | features) LONDON—Many teen-age gn-| erations in our country have ad| their special garb whether the| “oxford bags” of the 20s or the| “zoot suits” of the 40s. Walking down the crowied streets of East End Londog 1} found the newest fed to hit ne} of the English teen-agers—the Edwardian dress of Edward Vir (1901-1910). Its wearers are ¢all- ed “Teddy Boys.” é There has been much cottro- versy over the dress of the 1§to- 20-year-olds who adopted this un- usual revival of Edwardian dress dress from the upper classes who wore it after the last war. Since several teen-age gangs have been connected with crimes of some violence in recent months, Lon- doners look upon them with dis- approving eyes. I stopped to talk to one couple who seemed quite mannerly, al-| though the boy wore the strange Edwardian clothes, and _ the girl| wore heavy makeup around the eyes. They were quick to say that they were of the “‘centerists wing” of the style movement. This | group does not want any change of the original Edwardian style. But there are the “leftists” | who wear the extremely exagger- | ated clothes and the “rightists” | Victorian | stvles, The next day I visited a small) tailor shoo where they hapnened | to be making a suit for a lad who| was of the “extremist” wing. | The dark gray coat had a vel-; vet collar, cuffs and flan pockets. tyles EDITOR'S NOTE: TheAssociated Press asked Barbara English, daughter of Ear!
