qe SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE SUE JONES, Editor ‘Thursday, September 2, 1954 ‘This time of the year in Our Town is really intermission. It is the “seventh inning stretch” be- tween the warm lazy days of sum- mer and the bustle, excitement, an- ticipation and fun of the Winter Season. The rains are refreshing the sun- parched flowers and lawns — the coolness of the days are conducive to re-arranging of furniture and color schemes—the stocks in the stores are being replenished — houses are being prepared for guests—residents are returning and those who are still away are think- ing and looking forward to heing here—summer-shut houses are be- ing opened—and there is a leisure- ly, matter-of-fact energy directed toward those wonderful Winter days in Our Town. And of course, yours truly loves each and every day here but it is sorta nice to realize that while elsewhere cold and snow will mark the coming months—those dreary times there will be in sharp con- trast to the pleasantness and en- joyment of Winter in Our Town. So, it will be wonderful to see so many old and good friends who from here on out—will be wending their way back to a Town they love—and speaking of —uh, huh— perhaps, we had best wend our way to the shops— as=28 Home Appliance Co., 605 $i- monton Street is the place fo go for all those household items you need—whether you are just set- tling in —or have been here for some time. Following are some of the things you might be leok- ing for: SMALL ELECTRICAL APPLI- ANCES: Toasters, Grills, Blen- dors, Mixers, Coffeemakers, etc. made by Sunbeam, Waring, Westinghouse, Toastmaster, and Oster. GARDEN TOOLS: Rakes, hoes, picks, shovels, hoses and small hand tools. SEWING MACHINES: Pfaff (no attachments needed for but- tonholes, etc.)—Domestic, Viking and Sewmor. DEEP FREEZERS, RANGES, WASHING MACHINES, IRON- ERS, ELECTRIC ICE MAKERS AND BOXES—Hotpoint, Maytag, Servel, Amana, Ironrite. POTS AND PANS: All kinds, si and shapes—also the Re- vere Wear Wearever. PAINT: Valspar and Super Kemtone. AIR CONDITIONERS: Amana, Fedders and Carrier. And also, at the Home Appli- ance Co., are many of the gadgets which are nationally advertised and which aid housework. Then too—in addition to the complete line of your home‘s needs, you a wonderful cour- jability. ss =nd glad to have you back—to the Jamesons—Colin and B. G. and Wite and Adair who have just returned from many western places. Their line’s been busy so haven’t been able to find out the latest news and after all, it is not very nice to call up good friends on their very first day back to find out—how they are and what has happened. Anywhoo—welcome and hope to hear all, and see you all real soon. ss The Conehs call them “alliga- and others speak of does’, but yours truly knows where there is a@ wonderful supply of good ripe ones! At Overseas Fruit Market, 934 Truman Avenue has one of the finest and most plentiful selections of this super-delicious fruit! Overseas Fruit Market—or just “Frank's” have ything and anything in the fruit and vege- table line you could possibly think of, And that includes—the exotic tropical fruit. Then too, the old stand-bys like oranges, peaches, grapes, pears, etc. are found here too but—they are al- ways exceptionally choice and of the highest. quality. Did | tell you all that yours truly tasted FRESH PAPAYA JUICE? Oh—it is good. Also, here they have FRESH ORANGE AND GRAPEFRUIT JUICE and this is the only place on the Is- land for this refreshing treat. The thing you'll really like a- bout “Frank's” is not only the choice of vegetables—watercress, romaine, chico radishes, and tomatoes—but the shop itself. Somehow without any effert, they manage to be just exactly what a tropical Fruit and Vegetable Market should be. Frank, Mary, Butch and Dolly are just about | the grandest people and their @hop has an atmosphere and pic- turesqueness all its very own and one which, I'll clue you—would be real hard te duplicate—‘cause it—like their produce—is pretty special. = Was fort the aie obi was said. The other evening the rules for the spearfishing contest just past were being given and every- one noticed .this—And so, you realize that if you are in danger— or trouble—and crawl in.a boat be- cause of drowning—you’re automa- tically out of the contest”—which opened up many side discussions— Another interesting rule was that when the fish are spe gas, no gaff no exploding heads(these are evidently things with - which the contestants use to fizzle the fish’ future) or artificial means tan be used. Some nearby wit said— “And that means that poisoning and electricity will not count”, Frankly, yours truly thinks that anyone going in for this sport is more brave than. somewhat! Christnaes wi creep UP before you know it and when | was in the Pioneer Fabrics, 622 Duval Street the other day—couldn’t help but think what marvelous presents in the linen line they had. There are many items beauti- fully boxed—all ready for the giving. Saw fancy scarf sets— lovely pillow cases and towel sets, etc. Just knew you'd be in- terested in learning that Pioneer Fabrics has been doing some early Christmas shopping so that you can do the same. Really, all their linens are simply beauti- ful. Prices on these handsomely boxed items start at only $2.98. So, if you're on your way to the Pioneer Fabrics for some of the lovely yard goods they sell there —think of giving a gift along the linen line. ge WELCOME'TO: Lucy and Dave King, who with their two daugters have just arrived here. Dave wiil be attached to FAWTU in the Op- erations Department and Lucy will sure be happy to see the thriving Navy Nursery—sans any of the wonderful and hard volunteer work she put in on one—up the coast a bit. *Tis an especial pleasure to greet good friends..Am sure they'll Many oe seem to be in packing boxes these days—'scuse —mean — unpacking them and during all the “seftlin’ in’ tur- moil, may | suggest the Banana Tree Grille for either breakfast, lunch or supper?

How- ever, if the structure were to fall down—then it would be jarring and so it is if a wrong chord is struck —the effect jolts the listener im- mediately, and breaks the pattern of musical pleasure. The third component is rhythm which according to the Greeks is the word meaning “flow”. Here you have “tone” and the duration of it and its organization into a certain pattern or design completes the full meaning of the words— good music. Rhythm is what makes the melo- dy and harmony segments move. It also conveys that electrifying sense of “keeping time” which is almost apart from the actual notes of the ar ee Even in a rainy evening—din- ing at the A and B Lobster House House, 700 Front Street (down Duval - turn right at Gulf Sta- tion) takes on a festive air.

The Auxiliary gives an award for the poppy poster contest, for “The Story of The Poppy,” and for an essay on “Americanism.” The county winners are sub- mitted for state and national awards. The teachers are eligible for an award for the best written article on “Why I Teach.” The meeting at the school ad- ministration building was arrang- ed by Superintendent Horace O’Bryant. The teachers who attended all agreed to incorporate the Amer- ican Legion Auxiliary’s program in their school work. Teachers who met with Mrs. Braxton and Mrs. Fox included Elizabeth Hammock, Nedra Post- er, Rosemary Cabarera, and Wayne Hawxhurst, county art sup- ervisor. M. Franklin, president of the United States Lines, announced sterday that the engagement s ‘been terminated by mutual consent.” The announcement added that all invitations for the wedding at fashionable St. Bartholomew’s Church were “withdrawn.” No reason was given. However, a knowledge of the ingre- dients of music is supposed to en- hance your listening pleasure.

Speed of the music is its tempo —degree of loudness or softness is defined as “dynamics” and these Today's Women By DOROTHY ROE AP Women’s Editer American business men suddenly have found that it’s fun to decorate their offices, says Melanie Kahane, who tells them how. “Just as everybody all at once seemed to discover the American home,” says this decorative dec- orator. “Men have discovered of- fices as a field for personal ex- Pression. With all the current to- do about interior decor, any- one would think that up to now we’ve been hanging from trees.” Miss Kahane, known as one of the top figures in her field, ar- rived in New York’s decorator’s row from Sioux Falls, S.D., by way of Paris. She has designed interiors for homes, apartments, offices, showrooms, restaurants, hotels and factories. Says she: “All this sudden office-conscious- ness really makes very good sense. Anyone can work better in plea- sant surroundings. The Army can. Industry can. So can executives, but Pal were the last to discov- er ms “‘A lot of the country’s most-im- Telephone: Labor Day Festival Offers Varied Program Of Events For Everyone A full day and evening await every patron who visits the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Festival schedule all day next Monday, La- bor Day, September 6, under the general management of Mr. Ernest Avila.

It might be interesting the next time you hear music to be alerted for this basic theme. Also—watch for contrast and repitition of notes which are the “controls” of music and keep the composition from either being boring or frantically haphazard. =m Se “Meet me at the meat counter at Bill’s Supermarket” (Poincia- na) is being. said many times.
