Group Returns From Tallahassee Training Course The Monroe County delegation of school lunch personnel attending the state-wide training program at Florida State University in Talla- hassee returned to Key West early Sunday morning. The local group, which left here early on the morning of Friday, July 30, was given a rousing ova- tion the first morning of the state- wide session for sending 10 dele- gates from the farthest distance of any county in Florida. The entire program proved inter- esting and highly informative to the Key Westers. The main pur- pose of the program is to improve child and adult health in the schools. Attendance at four ses- sions, one each year, leads to a certificate in lunch room manage- ment. Mrs. Alice Butler, manager of the Poinciana School Lunch Room, } was highly honored at the session this year by being selected by members of the class to which she was assigned to represent them on “Stump the Experts,” a program in which employees asked ques- | tions regarding personnel problems. | The Key Westers traveled to and | from Tallhassee in a county school bus.

Youngsters, even the tiniest ones, ogle grownups with big eyes that say ‘‘me too” whenever lip- stick, cologne or nail polish is brought into the open.

First treat her to a carefree and cleans- ing bath, then let her use her own dusting powder and some youung but feminine cologne or toilet wat- er.
