SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN SUE JONES, Editor Wednesday, August 18, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 Certain members of the Animal} Kingdom (Insect Division) and yours truly are not on speaking terms. Have just finished dueling— with my pencil—one bee who flew in the car and had more fun wan- dering around the windshield — and then he turned on his back and got playful. Finally convinced him =I was not amused at such antics. Stopped at one of the shops — came out to the car—and there was a yellow jacket romping around the windshield. So—again I em- ployed the pencil—and finally after about five minutes—poked him out the window. eae Frankly—don’t feel victorious at all—just scared and exhausted — and so, let’s by all means be off to the shops—and yours truly will surely have the windshield sprayed with DDT or whatever it takes to convince creatures which sting—to elsewhere. = geaee Because Ginny Hodges, “Miss Caroline's” Gal Friday and “right arm” has been real sick, the Caroline Shop, 223 Ann Street might be a little later than the 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. opening hours. However, you'll find comfy chairs, cigarettes and reading matter on the cool and shady porch—so just make yourself at home—enjoy the tropical atmos- phere and “Miss Caroline’ will be there shortly. So—though the door might be closed, this dar- ling little shop is not closed for the summer. Also, when you see the lovely gift items and the beautiful tics which are now being receiv- ed—you'll be ever so glad you paused and relaxed for a short spell whist awaiting “Miss Caro- line's“ return. Sesctez KEY-notes: Couldn’t help notic- ing the little kid crossing Flagler on his bike—’cause he was bent low over the handle bars and was really making knots. Tt was one of those rare instances of grace and motion which cause one. to pause and admire and then 1 saw he was tightly clutching un- der one arm — a coconut with a young palm sprouting from it. Looked for all the world like a Saturday Evening Post cover by Norman Rockwell. a gZ2e2 See At the A and B Lobster House, 700 Front Street—you may order @ supreme seafood — STONE CRAB—and of course, get the appropriate side-dishes which add immeasureably to your en- joyment of the meal—that is sal- ad, hush puppies and french fries!

E. Bennett Construction Co., 217 Duval Street are just the people to aid you in whatever you might be thinking about building. “Better Homes are Built by Bennett’ and this repu- tation for fine construction is found in many of the other build- ings about Our Town. Whether you intend to con- struct a motel, apartment house, hotel or business office, you are always interested in sound work- manship, in economy of building costs—in minimum maintenance —and of course, you want some- thing good-looking. And so, with these thoughts in mind—Phone 12-2333 and you'll be amazed that they think the same way about construction that you do—and they do build mighty fine build- ings! = Was on 5 on when Chief Halpin said yours truly could watch the Talent Contest held Saturday at the Naval Base—’cause I knew something special would be in store and sure enough—that's the way it was. 2222 For some reason or another, you might not have heard the “hair curling news’ from the— Adorable Beauty Salon, 924 Sim- anton Street—that air conditioned emporium of beauty services and slenderizing treatments. TWENTY PER CENT OFF on | \ permanent waves and that means the famous “Rayette’. By phon- ing 2-2152 for an appointment— you'll get a fine wave at a great savings! Semen First off—yours truly wandered backstage with Janice White who was one of the judges and met quite a few of the lads who were either participating in or putting the show on. Saw Ronnie Dahse whose fine accordion playing I had heard at the County Fair, who in- troduced me to the remainder of the “Sonar Combo’—Paul Sample at the base fiddle—Charles Ashba playing Sax and Garry Barnette at the drums. Was intrigued with the gee-gaws on Jimmy Wood’s accordion and learned that he used a special sys- tem of ‘‘muting’” which he had de- vised. And on the way back to the auditorium looked up—way, way up and was startled to see some- one. The lads quickly introduced me to Pat DeMuro who was doing the curtain and stage lights and who told me that Bill Caldwell was handling the spotlight for the show. Sse S[22 For those who would like to know of one of the nicest places te go in Our Town—may yours truly recommend the Bamboo Room, 42 Smith Lane? Top entertainment is the theme here. There is television during th y for those who wish to relax in air conditioned comfort —over a long cold one — or a short cool one and in the even- ing—ROLL OF DRUMS please for this — ANNOUNCEMENT— Don Albin who combines that ex- ceptional and lity found only in top singers—pleasing per- sonality and real talent (and many of you all who have heard him sing agree wholeheartedly with this) is at the Bamboo Room. . Also — ‘nother ANNOUNCE- MENT — Frank Limpach who plays marvelous piano and has enterained at many of the well- known hotels both in the U.S. and Hawaii can be currently heard at—the Bamboo Room. Briefly— the lad is real good! Try not to miss hearing this excellent pian- ist! Zaza Why do people moan*‘and:groan when a community sing iS men- tioned and then proceed to enjoy it immensely? Such was again the case. However, Louis Eisner, one of the judges, soon had everybody in the mood and rousing renditions of “When Irish Eyes are Smiling”, plus four or five other ballads were then heard in the movie theatre at the Naval Station where the show was held. 2imeez If you have not as yet seen Bill’s Supermarket, out at Poin- ciana you'll ‘be prised at this derful grocery store which carry all the well-known brands of “staples” and canned goods. However, today wish to tell you of their CHOICE GRADE meat (Armour’s and Swift's) and how they use the old-time way of selling it—by cutting to your order the exact amount and thickness you wish! Also, their steaks are very juicy and tender. Because Bill’s is open yntil 7:00 daily except Sunday—when the hours are 8:00 until 2:00, you can always have that “spur of the moment” steak fry and know that there will be no “beef” about the beef you buy at Bill’s Supermarket at Poinciana. SS =2z= One highlight of the perform- ances was Chief Halpin’s excel- lent “‘m.c. ing” of the show and it was fun to listen to the applause various hometowns received and believe Ashbury Park registered the loudest and longest! = An Ideal myn ens baby safe and sound (in case they like to bang their little heads against things) is to use the “bumper pads" found at Ideal Togs, 534 Duval. This is a unique arrangement which comes in four sections and goes around the sides of the crib or playpen. To further insure baby’s safe- ty—whilst Mother is busy think- ing about getting the older kids ready to go back to school, Ideal has playpens, playpen pads — in fact a full and complete line of infant accessories, including also toys to keep them amused and happy. The pads come in gay colers and designs—or in just plain shades if you prefer, and prices oe — Necessary items start at Don’t forget Ideal Togs fer all infants or children's needs—in- cluding beth clothing and furni- ture, ITEMS OF INTEREST THE TALENTED DANCE TEAM—of Jerry Pinder and Lorraine Butler will present a number entitled “Manhattan” at the polio benefit card party at the Casa Marina Patio Saurday evening, August 21, at 8:00. Jerry, owner of the Pinder School of Dance, is an outstanding artist and popular with Key West audiences.

BIRTHS Baby Girl Garcia Mr, and Mrs, George Garcia an- nounce the birth of their daughter, Georgette, at Galey Memorial Hospital on August 12. The baby weighed 6 pounds, 14 ounces at birth. Her parents reside at 8-H Porter Place, If you want to barbecue turkey on your outdoor grill, choose a four-to-five pound bird and have it split. Brush the turkey when it first goes on the grill with melted butter or margarine, then use your favorite barbecue sauce for successive brushings. The turkey halves will need about an hour over a glowing charcoal grill. ——— Subscribe To The Citizen Sa ee As’ a special act, Julius Ruben and his trained dog “‘Champ” ap- peared. He was good, but it was real cute when he stopped — for some reason known only to hin— right in the midst of performing— sat down turned his head from his master and gazed wistfully into the audience, Only lasted a minute and then he went through his paces, and some of the tricks were terrific. Sf a == Why not—as a host or hostess —add to your fame? Remember —to ask for one of the members of the Clan “High Life’—MILL- ER’S by name! The MILLER cousins Can and Bottle are really swell and they always add that extra something —perhaps you might say—almost a “champagne” touch to any gathering! As a matter of fact, when you partake of their icy cold contents—you'll be surprised at how truly refreshing and en- joyable the members of the fam- ily MILLER of the clan HIGH LIFE are! So, whether you spend the evening at home—or go out— don’t forget to invite these little “National Champions of Quali- ty"! They’re mighty good and golly, will be real happy if you ask a whole case of them to your house! Don’t family name—MILLER’S of the HIGH LIFE clan! BS nE ER Everyone connected with the show—the performers—those re- sponsible for the production—the judges (Janice White, Louis Eisner and Joseph Cornell) really deserve a “Well Done”. It was marvelous and may I say “thank you” for having been invited. Would like to mention that the performers were really restricted —they had only four or five min- utes for their act—could not use any scenery and no more than four were allowed to participate at once. Also—they did not em- ploy the benefits of costumes or props—but all appeared in uni- form. S35 2858 Really believe the Banana Tree Grille, 523 Truman have a leet- tllee Eskimo employed there— ‘cause surely their salads have an Artic touch—that icy cold. And Heavens to Betsie — who cares for salad any other way? Their chicken salad is freshly made and vereeee tasty, and is plunked smack dab in the middle of a “tomato rose’! Then, too for your zesty appetite—there is hard boiled egg, carrot curls, and radishes—truly a refreshing and filling meal. Don’t forget too—this charming and attractive eatery serves mighty fine feed—at breakfast, | lunch and dinner! The kids will | { love this place and if they ask too many questions about the tropical plants which grow a- round it—Mrs. Edwards will be glad to answer all questions! (aoe ee And so, depending upon sheer talent—they really put on a most enjoyable show and the judges— My Red Shawl tells me—had a hard time deciding the winners. Charles Lewis of the U.S.S. Thorn- back placed second with his ex- cellent voice and Eugene Arnold of the Naval Air Station came in third with some super accordion playing. 22S: =5 Frankly, the Grab Bag at the Gift House, which is diagonally across from the Post Office, has some mighty wonderful buys at | only fifty cents! F’r instance, Mrs. Selby Venning of Sigsbee Park was real happy when in addition to her “Grab Bag” pur- chase — she discovered that she was “winner for last week” and received — eight beautiful whis- key sour glasses she sel- ected from the Grab Bag at the Gift House. Really, you all sure should investigate this nov- el idea—and too, look at all the fun you'll have just browsing around this large and marvelous Gift House. And then as a thought — for “present time”, saw. the latest “Dennis the Menace’ cocktail napkins with 36 different car- teons. Another box caljed “Cor- dials” were brand new and quite original and its price was also $1.00!—so, you see you just can’t fail to find unique and original items for gifts, or prizes for par- ties—at the Gift House! S28 Se E= KEY-notes: Be sure and stop at “Benefit Corner” in Our Town— which is Duval and Fleming in front of Kress’. Frequently there is a good and worthy cause being espoused and for the weeks—the EMERGENCY POLIO CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS! 232522 If you think your hair’s in a rut— Go to “Donald’s” for the new crew cut! 22 = Shall again briefly bid you “bye” for now and in so doing would like ever so much to mention the lad who sets the type for your “Blissful Buying’’—long after the twilight turns to dusk and then deepens into darkness. Really, he is a wonderful .person| and is so good, that “typos” arc| very few and that means that I can whip in a 7:00 A.M. or there-| abouts and leave very shortly thereafter—to go shopping. Andso, —THANKS from YOURS TRULY. Jeannette (Adv’t.) next few! | TO EVERYONE These | Women by CYNTHIA LOWRY As if the Army wasn’t in enough trouble after those late unlamented TV hearings, they had to have one Col. John H. Dilley publicly lay down the law on women’s clothes. It is my idea the only luck the colonel is going to have in this deal is that he’s away over there jin Frankfurt, Germany. Maybe this boy’s timing was good when he was in a shooting war—and I |understand he’s got combat rib- bons to prove it—but he couldn’t have picked a worse time to go shooting off on the subject of women’s clothes and women in general. He hit us right when we were feeling sore and tender about Christian Dior’s frightening news, when we were all of us wonder- ing just how on earth we could manage to comply with that edict about revising ourselves along boyish silhouettes. As I read it, all Col. Dilley thinks he has to contend with is a thousand or so women who are the wives and daughters of the men under his command. I doubt whether he realizes that if there’s one thing that will cause women to untie, it’s a stern masculine assault on their right and privilege to dress as they darned please. I'd like to challenge any Army officer to set himself up as an arbiter of women’s dress. If I recall—and brother, I sure do—when the Army started letting girls come into the service, the best they could think up was a uniform which was exactly like a man’s uniform except it had a skirt. Most of the girls just weren’t built so they looked like much in those uniforms, and those high collars and neckties were, in addition, very uncomfortable. It took them a long, long time to change, too. Now we have this fellow—I haven’t seen any picturey of him so I don’t know how he would look in an Ike jacket—telling the ladies who are kin to his soliders they aren’t allowed out in bare- back, haltertype sunsuits, banning shorts on teenagers and women and blue jeans on “mature women.” Maybe the colonel has been away from the States so long he doesn’t know that ladies with bare backs are acceptable in some of our fanciest restaurants. Maybe he doesn’t know that blue jeans have become almost an American uni- form and that it is any Amer- ican’s inalienable right, no matter how she looks, to wear levis. But most of all, this man has had the temerity to single out the “mature woman.” If I know women, I'll bet all the border- line “mature” ones are debating whether to take the test and ven- ture out in blue jeans. Heaven help the M. P. or whoever under- takes to put her in that category. All in all, I'd say that Col. Dilley has shown he’s no dip- lomat. Maybe, before something serious happens to him, they had better transfer him to another post—one where, for instance, there aren't any women. I dare the Army to ship him state-side.
