SUE JONES, Editor Santa Stuffs A Doggie ag Kids the world over cherish a stuffed animal, especially when it has a personality of its own. One of the most personable of the stuffed animal kingdom is an inquisitive dachshund, appropriate- ly called “Nosy” and irresistible when made in brown velveteen. A standard pattern has easy - to- follow directions and sewing ex- perts who have tired it say even if you’ve never made a stuffed ani- mal before, this one is sure to be @ success. Only % yard of brown velvet is reyuired for Nosy. and little Susie a little brown velvet party skirt. Nosy is stuffed with cotton batting, and the eraser end of a pencil is used to fill such hard-to-get-at as the legs and tail.

Big - Hearted Key Westers Help Family Of Sick Child Move West Key Westers are again rallying to help a family in need. ‘ Timothy Mendoza, 4 - year - old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Men- doza, is suffering from a rare blood disease known medically as Thalassemia Major. Most doctors consider this a fatal ailment but some have held out the hope that confirming that of previous physi- cians, extended a ray of hope for the boy’s life by stating that the child’s condition was “grave but not hopeless” but that the child must be under “constant medical supervision.” The doctors in Ha- vana and in Key West recommend- ed that Timothy be taken to a high dry climate theorizing that this change will stimulate the normal growth of red blood cells. Consequently, it becomes imper- ative that the Mendoza family, move to such a climate if Timothy is to have hope for survival, so they plan to go soon to Denver, Colorado. Heretofore, Charles Mendoza, the -|father, has been supporting his family of six, three sons besides his wife and Timothy by doing odd jobs. He was once employed by the Post Office department in Key West and gained local renown as “The Singing Mailman.” However, his service - connected disability “|forced his resignation as @ post- Immediate funds are required to transport Timothy and his family to Colorado and help them until they are settled there. The people of Key West have started an all- out drive to raise these funds. The San Carlos Institute initiated the drive last Thursday by donating $100 to “Help Give Timothy His Life for Christmas.” : There will be a Benefit Dance at the American Legion Home, Mon- the life of the son of a fellow ve- teran. All services, music, and facili- ties in connection with this drive are being donated and there are no es of any ‘description connected with it. et Organizations all. over town are résponding to this drive. The Key West Police Department is also pitching in to make this drive a success. ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE Thursday, December 9, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Mrs. Jeffers Tells Of Life In Japan At Woman’s Club Tuesday During the eight. months that, Mrs. Jeffers made several trins | Midge Jeffers was in Japan she managed to meet more people and do more interesting things than most people would accomplish m eight. years. ‘ She even provided a Key West Cookbook for the dining room ma- nager of the hotel where she lived. Mrs. Jeffers was guest at the meeting of the Key West Woman’s Club Tuesday afternoon and held her audience spellbound with her account of her experiences while living in Japan. |. She found through her association with a group of young Japanese students from all walks of life that “like most young people, the Ja- panese youth tends ‘left’.” She said that the more radical thinkers among them were making the same mistake that had been made in other countries. — that of believing that :‘‘Communism will work for us,” and went on to say that the more conservative young people need encouragement and a “helping attitude.” —_- “The young “people in Japan do not think the same as ‘their fa- thers and many times they: said to me, ‘My mother says we are not to be like my father’ ” Mrs. Jeffers told members of the club that Japanese women were’ beginning to take their plaée’in public affairs and were taking their new freedom and political respon- sibility seriously. “We should remember that Ja- pan is only a hundred years from fedudalism, and is still feudalistic in many way: Japan, M effers ‘said, was strictly a “‘man’s country” and that until very recently the Japan- ese woman had very little social life outside of her home. Even the tea ceremony was ori- ginally a male custom and that even now there are many things that the Japanese woman “just doesn’t do.” | She said ‘expensive for the far. asthe Japanese economy was concerned there was great inflation.” “Our occupation in many ways was hasty and the false stimula- tion of American funds will even- tually affect their national econo- my.” = She said that ‘most ‘of Japan’s natural markets were closed- and that there is a thriving black mar- ket with Red China, adding that as far as the average Japanese citi- zen was concerned it was almost a life and death matter. In a lighter vein, Mrs. Jeffers told of visits to homes of Japanese friends and of the difficulties .of finding one’s way around Tokyo. “Houses'are numbered according to the year they were built or the number of houses in the neighbor- hood at that time. “Since there are only a few through streets in Tokyo it is easy to get completely lost in a maze of rambling streets,” she said. Many of the newer better class houses are a “strange combina’ of East and West” — Japanese houses with the addition of a West- ern style room and plumbing. As long as the Westerner living in Japan observes the custom of removing their shoes on entering the house, she said, Japanese ser- vants will keep it immaculate, but if the custom is not observed they soon give up and just quit clean- said that she was disappoint- ed in not finding more flowers in Japan, and that except when the cherry and apple trees were in bloom, there were no masses of blossoms to be seen.

On this day all the little girls dress in a new kimona and accom- panied by their mothrs, take their offering to the shrine. During the business meeting pre- ceding Mrs. Jeffers’ talk, Mrs. By- ronh Lowry of the citizenship de- partment reported om a- recent meeting of ititerested citizens in re- gard to “SD Day” on December 1. She asked each member of the Woman's Club to phone 10 friends and remind them of the purpose of the spécial day and in turn to: call 10 more people. Mrs. Lee Goddard, fine arts chair- man, announced that the club’s annual Christmas program would be held on December 21 with an entertainment in the barn followed by the club’s traditional Christmas Party in the club rooms. Mrs. Jeffers asked on behalf of the welfare department that all members cooperate with the sur- vey being conducted jointly by the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs and the Florida Mental Heal- th Association to determine the number of mentally retarded per- sons in the county. She ..ressed that at the last ses- sion of the Florida. legislature, the two organizations had been asked to conduct the survey so as to pro- vide the law makers with statis- ties. on which. to base a greatiy expanded program of mental heal- th which will include the construc- tion of additional hospitals for men- tally retarded children and adults.
