SUE JONES, Editor Page 2 "Tis a perfect “manana” morn-} ing. Or as my Conch friends would! Say -» there isindeed rock fever about to- day. For those to whom these terms are strange — Please al- low me to explain, Ever so often in Our Town, something hap- pens which—to my knowledge—on- ly takes place here. An inclination to idleness seems to hit one and all at exactly the same time. Now, don’t misunderstand. It is not sim- ilar to being tired—say at the end of a hard day’s work. It is not the same as the weariness which un- usually warm weather induces. It is, an unaminous decision to com- pletely cease activity—any and all You will suddenly feel the urge to do nthing and somehow, you find yourself discussing it with a friend only to discover that they feel the same way amd so goes the chain of conversation ’mongst many that day, The most correct approach to a “‘manana’’ feeling is to recognize it and surrender to it insofar as possible as this business of resting deserves great respect. Frankly, it is part of the wonder- ful way of life in Our Town and if you have never tried it—you real- ly should because—miracle of mir- acles—all those little things which had seemed to demand urgent at- tention—somehow shrink into in- significance. You'd be surprised at the countless things that can wait until tomorrow in order that you can give today up to doing abso- lutely nothing—except, of course— “resting.” Mea Se mse Well, the chickens heard about it and they looked mighty upset but they calmed down when they realized that money was import- ant to people. So, now they are happily predutingeggs—eggs and ‘ more EGGS AT ONLY 29 CENTS A DOKEN AT FAUSTO’S FOOD PALACE, 522 Fleming Street! Just EGGMAGINE — Grade A— medium size eggs for the piffling and paltry sum of TWENTY- NINE CENTS! No wonder the chickens nearly went on strike! But — you know that Friendly Fausto’s just love to save you money and boy, here's an EGG- CELLENT CHANCE, Saw that grand Smitty postive. ly beaming because he could tell me that Armour’s Pot Roasts were passing over his meat counter at only 29 cents a LB. Guess, he was afraid I’d recover from the shock of this low price too fast—so he quickly told me about BREAKFAST BACON GO- ING AT 49 CENTS A LB. M‘word yours truly thought—how much money can you save? Evidently—lots of it at FAUS- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN TO’S FOOD PALACE because NINE CANS FROZEN FLORIDA ORANGE JUICE ARE 99 CENTS!

Sts &= OPEN NOTE TO: Sue Steinbred- er — Barnes Hospital, St. Louis, Mo.—Dear Sue: Word .that vou are undergoing surgery has just reach- ed your many, many friends here and this is to let you know that our thoughts are with you. Because we are all so very fond of you, am hoping that you won’t mind my taking this means of giving them your address so that they may drop you a line. And Sue, we all know that your marvelous person- ality and stamina will again see you through this rough time. Best wishes, Joan and jeannette. ses Fe With, thoughts of formal fun, let’s look at the beautiful EVEN- ING DRESSES AT HERMAN’S, 512 Duval Street. Saw some dreamy ones in nylon net with touches of glittering silver thread, There are dresses with draped bodices, strapless gowns, full skirts and slim ones. A particularly good-looking yel- low one had a lace top and the tulle skirt and another one, —a pale bive had paste! dots scatter- ed all over. So, when you're in- vited to a formal dance—don't go into a frenzy because you have nothing to wear—but do go to HERMAN‘S where you'll find you a pretty dress for your big evening of dancing. = s HEAD HANGING aOR APOLO- GIES to; Madame Blackamoor — the sage of fashion who sits in Trinketero’s window for the omis- sion of the word “handbag” in “BB” the other day when, writing of these beautiful items found in this darling shep. Am real sorry, but truth is—that a line of type must haye been dropped and so it was pocketbooks that yours truly spent four lines describing—with- out the key word-—“handbag”. Beautifal ) nl to the bride are not only forever appre- ciated, byt they are quite useful too. Undoubtedly, the finest sel- ection of tablecloths, placemats, runners, bridge sets, napkins, are found at Pioneer Fabrics, 622 Duval Street.

BS = My Red Shawl tells me that Rear Admiral Couchman of the British Navy had never before visited the United States and except for brief stopovers, his recent short stay in Our Town was his first opportuni- ty to form an opinion of America. And then yours truly- thought for a moment that her Red Shawl was going to add white and blue—as she | you have some for dinner?) proudly said that he liked Ameri- ca very, very.much. Then she told me of the nice party Peter and Faith Hiles had in his honor and finally—whistling the “Star Span- gled Banner”—My Red Shawl left. 2 The Bambeo Room, 422 Smith Lane offers two of the finest en- tertainers in Our Town.

Sometimes a child must be 6 before the begin ning of school in September, in other places his birthday must be before Jan. 1 after the opening of | school. Whatever the deadline, there are | always going to be some children whose birthday excludes them by a week or a month or even a day. | The question invariably comes up} — should an exception be made | and Mary be allowed to enter first | grade this year instead of waiting | a whole year. | The important thing really is not | when the birthday comes but how | mature and ready for first grade | is Mary. The trouble is Mary’s parents are probably the worst judges of | whether or not Mary is able to un-| dertake first grade with reasonable | chance of success. Down in the bot- tom of his heart almost every pa rent. thinks his own child is just a little bit superior to other chil dren. Most of us don’t say this out loud but the feeling is there just} the same. In the long run it’s a good thing parents do feel this way. Even the unspoken feeling gives the child the sense that he is all right with his parents and that helps to give him security and con- fidence. However, when it comes to school we often run into real difficulty. The school is a better judge than the parents of how Mary is going to stack up with the other children.
