Society — News Of Interest To Women SUE JONES, Editor Friday, November 5, 1954 THE WEST CITIZEN Page 3 Adm. Towner Gives Inspiring Talk On Constitution At Woman’s Club Rear Admiral George C. Tow ner in speaking to the members of the Key West Woman's Club Wednesday afternoon, on the “Rights, Privileges and Responsibilibies of Citizenship” told them that the “principles adopted in the United States Constitution were the re- sult of practical experience as well as a knowledge of history and political theory.” He continued by saying the U. answer that has so far been given t ment the power it needs and at t busing that power. “Under our Constitution — the supreme written law of our coun- try,” he said, “the people have all the power in their hands. “They give the government cer- tain powers and they retain the rest themselves or entrust some powers to lesser bodies such as state governments. “This distribution is clearly set down in writing and the constitu- tion thus created becomes the sup- reme law of the land and serves not only to Imit the power of the} states but those of Congress and) the President as well. “Our constitution provides a check upon tyranny by clearly de- fining our liberties.” Admiral Towner said “It is not enough to have a written constitu- tion — it must also provide the means for putting its principles into practice and assure that the principles are put into practice. “The people must also be in a position to periodically call their elected representatives to account, and one sure way of doing this is by fairly frequent election inter- vals “The elections must be secret to protect the individual from in- timidation. The question of who can or cannot vote and how the elections are to be conducted is left up to the states. “It is the therefore that protect our right to @ secret ballot.” “But,” Admiral Towner warned, Purpose Of Ballet Club Explained Last Night Many pupils and their mothers enjoyed the first meeting of the Fred Astaire Balletomane Club held last night at the Fred Astaire School of Dance at 534 Duval St. The Balletomane Club was first introduced here by Princess Nina Carracciolo, the gchool’s director of ballet The Club will meet the first Thursday of each month and will give all the pupils the opportunity to meet each other and discuss the various ballets and their individual progress in them. At each meeting the pupils will hear pre-selected numbers of ballet music after which either Rollene Polfock, school director, or Prin- cess Nina will explain the inter- pretive ballet steps accompanying the music This educational feature will be followed by individdal exhibitions by the students. At last night’s meeting officers were nominated by the pupils present and will be voted upon at the next meeting, at which time additional nominations will be ac. cepted from the floor before voting | begins. Refreshments were served after the meeting and will be served at all the subsequent meetings Mrs. Pollock announced that the school’s new station wagon had just arrived and the new transportation e constitutions | nited States has provided the best © the problems of giving a govern- he same time prevent it from a- ASR i i ad cecal “If the government by the people jis to succeed, more is required jthan a legal system that guaran- | tees the right of everyone to vote, {It the people are to judge they must be able to judge wisely and a democratic government depends on informed public opinion through freedom of speech and freedom of | the press. “To perform its duties in a de- mocratic society, the press must help educate the People by giv- ing a fair account of all news with- | out suppression or distortion.” “However,” the Amdiral continu- ed, “with a free press there will be many different newspapers printing many different points of views on various issues and the ci- |tizens will have to read several papers or magazines to get a clear picture of an issue. “A citizen has the duty to find jout the truth for himself and he fails as a citizen if he refuses to spend the effort needed to form an intelligent opinion.” Admiral Towner stressed that un- der our constitution the American | citizen has more rights and privi- jleges than the ctizens of another naton and consequently the res- ponsibilities of American citizen- ship are far greater, These responsibilities include al- |legance in return for the protec- tion afforded him, obedience to constituted authority and service. “By this,” Admiral Towner added, “I mean you have to be witnesses and jurors at trials, you must pay | taxes, you are expected to vote and in case of national danger, you render military service.” He ended his inspiring talk by , Saying, “It is the individual charac- jter whch gives strength to the moral fiber of our country as a whole. “Charactc® will lend zest to your | life and make your various duties | | as citizens less burdeonsome. | | “John Greenleaf Whittier has| {aptly summed up the whole mat- jter when he said: “There is life alone in duty alone, and rest alone in striving’.” The admiral was introduced by Mrs. Jean Baillod, citizenship | chairman of the Woman’s Club who |thanked him at the close of his address. Mrs. Ray Byrns, president of the | club, added her thanks and invited the members to meet Admiral and | Mrs. Towner during the tea follow- ing the meeting. | A particularly attractive arrange- | ment of bronze and yellow crysan- themums and three tall sepia can- | dles centered the tea table. | ‘The auditorium was also beauti- |fully dezorated with arrangements of fall flowers arranged by Mrs. {Curry Moreno who was also res-| ponsible for the table arrangemen’ The tea hour was under the d | rection of the hospitality committe: of the club with Mrs. Thomas Ca- ro as chairman, | | GAIL RUSSELL ILL | HOLLYWOOD w—Movie actress | | exa and Victor Vargas for the pret- ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE Navy Wives Plan Float For Parade On Veterans Day “Peace Now and Forever” is the theme the members of the Island City Navy Wives Club chose for the float they are entering in the | Veterans Day Parade on Novem-| ber 11, The parade is part of the obser- | vance sponsored by the local Am- | erican Legion Post. | Program speaker at the Novem-| ber 3 meeting was Perry Smith, | a member of the Island City club/ and Southeast Regional vice - pre-| sident who gave a detailed outline | relationship to the clubs in her re-| gion.
