S SUE JONES, Editor Monday, October 11, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE Pase 3) National Nurse Week To Be Marked By All Local Nurses This Week Bistrict Number 25 Florida State Nurses’ Association is observing “National Nurse Week” this week, along with all the other State and National Branches of Nurses’ Associations. The local nurses have chosen as their theme, “Progress in Nurs- ing Means Better Health for Key West.” District Twenty-five is a new or- ganization, having been organized this past February. While accom- plishments have been limited due to the problems and details con- nected with organizing, the nurses are working to improve standards of practice of professional nurses. District 25 is cooperating with and aiding the Licensed Practical Nurses. ‘ : The nurses assisted in the Polio Drives and stand ready to help the community whenever needed. Several future projects include giving classes to the Future Nurs- .les of America, a group of high school students interested in nurs- ing. ‘The nurses feel that actual hos- pital nursing care under supervi- sion will aid the young women to decide for themselves for or against nursing as a career. Another project which is of vi- tal importance to Key West, is the Civil Defense Program. A program is ‘under way for a three - day course, “Nursing As- pects of Atomie Warfare.” The course to be given by Miss Flor- ence Ehlers, Nurse Consultant of Florida State Board of Health, will be held at night on November 15, 16 and 17. The course is for gra- duate nurses, who in turn will pre- sent the essentials to other inter- ested pS. eee, dcairiug to attend the course may do so by registering with Mrs. Jeannette Sawyer at the Public Health Clinic. : The District nurses are planning a Bake Sale for this Saturday. The proceeds will go toward defraying expenses for the yearly Conven- tion to be held at Jacksonville ‘|the first week in November.

But be sure you keep them as slicked up and flattering as your other fashion accessories. Eyeglasses come in such attrac- tive styles today that many women keep a wardrobe of them to match their costumes. There are utility glasses for reading at home, smart- er ones for reading away from home and the chic styles for fa- shion wear. Your lenses must be treated kindly, however. Tossing them in- to a handbag» with compact, lip- stick, mirror and other items ly- ing loosely about may scratch and break them. Besides the fact that they might become abused or ignored, scratch- ed lenses may cause eyestrain, ad- vises eyesight specialist Dr. Roy Marks. Frames are fitted carefully so that the lenses rest in the proper position. Yanking glasses off the head by one temple or nervously twirling them or pushing them far down on the nose or high up on the forehead or gnawing on the temple ends is likely to throw them out of kilter. Upsetting the delicate adjustment may cause eyestrain which can put furrowed brows on a pretty face, to say nothing of causing headache or nausea, Our expert also suggests that when taking off glasses the best bet is to grasp the shell temples just behind the hinges, and the Eyegal es are the gold-filled rimless type, kept sparkling and chic care. just above the ears, gently lifting them with both hands. If an eye- glass case isn’t handy, don’t lay the frames lens-down on any surface. Lay-them on their sides with temples outstretched. - It'll help avoid lens scratching. hard | cialist knows just how much pres- Wi Pinder. The burning of midnight oil at The Barn Theatre of The Key West Players is positive indication that “somethin’s cookin”’ in the local entertainment field. In fact, Mic- key Renna, president of the Play- ers stated that so much was cook- ing it’s requiring the attention of four cooks — Emily Goddard, Bob Pollock, Gertrude Splaine and Fred Taylor. The first course to be served up tomorrow at the Barn Theatre will be three one - act plays produced by members of the Summer Work- shop. Gastrade Splaine will direct “Dear Departed,” the cast of which will be Sally and Glynn West, Sybil and Alana Eason, Bill Dickerson and Lake Monroe. Fred Taylor will direct “‘Over- tones” the cast of which will be Lori Monroe, Nell Weymouth, He- len Vessichio, Barbara Anastasia. The third play will be “Trifles” whose cast consists of Frances’ Buck, Fay Allen, Bill Dickerson, Players Plan Sumptuous Fare For Coming Season At Barn Theatre John Clugstone and Lake Monroe, directed by Bob Pollock. Helen Larsen will be prompter and Victor Larsen, assistant direc- tor. According to the directors, it’s been a mad scramble getting their casts in and out of the Barn with- out conflicting with each other’s schedule and the approach of ‘‘Ha- zel” has been felt already in re- hearsals. > Because these one - act plays will be given one night only, the limited seating capzcity of The Barn necessitates confining atten- dance to members and guests of The Players. The second course will be an- nual subscription membership drive under the chairmanship of Emily Goddard. However, one need not wait for the drive to get. a_ subscription membership, just telephone Mrs. Renna, Mrs. Goddard, or Bob Pol- lock, or for that matter, any mem- ber and they will be happy to call for your subscription. At the same time, Mrs, Goddard is now selecting the condiments for the third course, the hilarious com- edy, “Harvey,” which she will di- rect for the Players, She has expressed the hope that as many will turn out to read for the other parts as have for the | part of “Harvey,” himself. Readings are taking place at the Woman's Club, because the li’l ole Barn just can’t take another cast | on its limited boards at this time. | However, right after the three should be careful about this phase of eyewear handling. Their lenses are thinner in the center and are likely to shatter from undue shock. Far-sighted people, on the other hand, should avoid banging their glasses on the edges where their| lenses are thinner. You can make sure you are get- ting every benefit from your vision aids by keeping the lenses spark- ling clear. Give them a bath with soap and water at least once a week, clean them frequently with a soft tissue or cloth, free of lint. An old tooth brush comes in handy to brush behind nose pads as in the case of rimless mountings. Plastic frames should be washed in lukewarm water. Hot water may expand them, causing the lenses to drop out. And if adjustments are needed, consult your eyeglass man. Fitting is a precisé art and a spe- sure to exert to keep your eye- glass témples at the right level for | your eye comfort and beauty.— |meat course or dag dessem, 1 Meassighted people in particular| A.P. Newsfeatures, \ one-acts are finished this Tuesday, you'll be able to hear “Harvey’s” thumping clear out on Duval Street because he has to be ready for his preview before the Drama Festival group on November 13 and his offi- cial bow to the Key West theatre audience on Monday, November 15. The play reading committee, con- sisting of the Board of Directors, are really going all out for Mrs. Renna this season, as evidenced by their first selection, “Harvey,” which will be followed very shortly by “My Three Ange's,” another hit show to be directed by Bob Pol- lock. Readings for ‘“My Three Angels” will start just as soon as casting for “Harvey” has been completed and will be announced in The Ci- tizen. If ever there were an opportuni- ty for stage - minded aspirants, these two plays certainly supply it and the public is again reminded that it is not necessary to be a member to try out for any part. Furthermore, there is always a terrific demand for backstage workers, to assist with costumes, make-up, props, sets, programs, With such experienced “stage hands” as Frank Pennington, Bur- et Garnett, Wes Olsen and Anne Carleton as teaders and counselors, it’s more fun being backstage, see- ing every performance for free, than it is “sweating your life a- way” under those stage lights out front. Anyway, Frank Pennington says, “‘There’s a part for everyone, all we need is the everyone!” The rest of the coming season’s banquet will be announced here la- ter, after you’ve had time to di- gest the first four courses, because, a la Francaise, a meal is not good unless one has plenty of time in which to enjoy it.
