with
J AXON |jjf,
Ohmigosh! Here it is Friday
the 13th again and the little black
felines are rampant all over the
world. All over where they use
our calendar, and all over where
it’s Friday the 13th, that is.
It just seems like it would be
a fine day to stay in bed, all
day that is, but there’s shopping
to be done, even if it is the 13th,
to let’s go, and avoid all ladders,
:ats of the ebony variety, spilled
alt, and any other witch invit
ing activities.

"Land O' Sundries" isn't
•palled "Flatbush Ava." and
Kay West is a far cry from
dear old Brooklyn where hot
corned beef and pastrami
blooms pn every street corner,
but this same little Corner Lun
cheonette has those same deli
cious kosher delicatessen items
that would make dear old
Brooklyn look to it's laurels.
Land O' Sundreis is where I
generally stop for breakfast on
Saturday mornings, so in the
rush of waffles and coffee, I
have never poked an inquiring
reportorial nose in the direction
ief Specials, Kosher dills or
Sauerkraut. However It is a real
nice thing to know, that should
the spirit move mo, I can order
up • plate of Loks and eggs,
and have them served up in
style with buttered toast and
Now I am generally one who
goes in for selling monkeys,
trees, reel estate, dresses, shoes
and baby clothes. Never once
thought of selling Sundries from
,/h%J.and 0' when I was around,
♦hat Is why I am so happy to
tell you all about it now. It is a
real nice little ioint on the cor
ner of Truman and Grinned
Streets. Every body seems to
be there bright and early at
orange iuice and coffee time,
and they are open after most
restaurants close. Besides that
they serve breakfast, lunch and
dinner platters, and have a
fountain where that good Land
O' Sun icecream is served up
in tasty looking concoctions.
Then there is the dairy.counter
■"Where you may go to get that
good Land O' Sun milk, cream,
cheese, and other dairy pro
ducts. Quite e store I'd say.
Please pass the Pastrami, Miss.
t dt *
Now I am quite a one for the
chowders, and Fish Chowder,
Cape Cod style is something to
write about! However this is not
a recommended Lenten dish, as
you will see.
First brown off to a nice gold
en-ness, about four slices of diced
salt pork. Then, into a big pot
pour the salt pork, about three
tablespoons of the fat of the pork,
and then add four diced potatoes,
one large onion cut fine, one
grated carrot, strips of one half
green pepper, and one large firm
white meat fish, skinned, boned
and shredded. Cover with enough
water to simmer, salt and pepper
heavily. Simmer until the veget
ables are tender. Make two cups
ef thin white sauce and add to
the mixture. Serve steaming hot
for lunch any old time.

in a plane with an Arctic explorer
who was telling about bow he
bought most of Antartica for
SI.OO from a friend. The guy was
interested, said he owned a re
frigeration service or something
and wanted to open a branch of
fice. Well, this explorer wound
up by selling off a little parcel,
about 150,000 acres of this land
for $1.65. Of course he would pro
bably have to dig down about
three miles or so through solid
ice to reach this rich acreage,
but it’s there! The seller is also
making a huge profit on the deal.
So far he has sold sl9 worth of
this stuff at the same rate. One
man wants a coiner lot with a
southern exposure, another wants
to get away from it all.
Deeds have been issued too, the
only catch is that the buyers are
going to have to fight the com
monwealth of Australia to get
clear title. They have a good
chance of winning too because
who has a better right to the
land than the guy who found it?
Anybody interested in real es

Hey there, got your income tax
filed? Heard recently that next
year there will be a tax on
brains. Well that’s where I get a
break anyhow! Taxes seem most
unfair sometimes, but it does
take a lot of money to run a
country like ours and the only
thing I can see to be thankful
about is if you made enough
money that your tax is high, you
have that much more left than
the next guy.

Bread is and always has
been considered the Staff of
Life. It is always a must at
every mealtime, and good
bread is enjoyad by everyone.
The best I've found so far is
the Pepperidge Farms Broad
you will find at the Gulfstream
Food Department Store. . .if
you get there early enough! I
get real peeved though when I
go charging in there in the
afternoon and find that they
are completely sold out of
those wonderful salt sticks or
the French enriched twin rolls.
Those twin rolls are really
wonderful and my family is
mad about them when I slit
them in slices almost to the
bottom crust and smear liber
ally with garlic butter and set
in the oven to brown.
Other Pepperidge Farm spe
cialties are the brown and serve
cinnamon rolls and the party
rolls that are midget sized
white rolls for that festive
luncheon or dinner. Then for
canapes and h'ors d'oeuvres,
there are the Salty rye slices
so thin sliced you can use as
is. . .and so good too.
I didn't quite understand
what made Pepperidge Farm
bread products so outstanding
until of course I inquired of Jim
Muniz. He told me that the
flour that goes into Pepperidge
Farms bread is old fashioned
stone ground pure unbleached
wheat products. Also, all these
loaves and rolls are hand
kneaded in the old fashioned
way so that this bread tastes
just like the crusty brown
loeves that used to come out
of grandmom's old wood rang#
down on tho farm. Remember?

I had the privilege of sitting
in on a momentous planning ses
sion yesterday morning, and I’d
sure like to pass it along because
I know everyone is going to be
interested.
One little old gal, Willie Mae
Simmons started the ball rolling
in a very small plan for an Easter
Parade for the kies. When she
asked me to help, I thought of
the Chamber of Commerce and
the splendid way they always
seem to bo able to do things. . .
especially that Harold Laubscher
guy. So this morning there was
a meeting, and 1 never saw such
a group of enthusiastic people.
Hannah Baer was there and Miss
Carmichael and Mr. Tucker and
Hank Day and Willie Mae, and a
plan emerged.
In short this is it. On Easter
Sunday about 2 p. m. there will
be a parade for all Key West
Kids from 0 to 12 in Bayview
Park. The merchants are getting
together on prizes, and already
SIOO in gift certificates has been
donated. There’ll be music and
entertainment, and the Southern
most Easter Parade in the
United States will be a fact
Because Bayview is so distant
from our colored section, at 4
p m. so everyone will be able to
see it also, at the Colored Park,
all the kids from Douglass
School and smaller can have a
parade with prizes, music ard
entertainment too. Sounds like a
wonderful idea from the hea t of
a very nice gal, who kn'cs Key
West.

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE
riuge Crowd Enchanted With Fashion
Display In Exclusive Spring Preview
More than 700 spellbound patrons viewed the recent fashion
show at the Casa Marina sponsored by the Officers’ Wives Club,
proceeds to go to the Navy Charity Fund. It was the tagline to
the Navy Charity Carnival under the general chairmanship of
Capt. A. E. Buckley and a preview of the newest in milady's ward
robe for spring and summer wear. The setting was Key West’s
famous Casa Marina resort hotel. The models were from the Doris
Crane Agency . . . and the fabulous clothes were from Sophie’s
of Saks Fifth Avenue.
The original creations were all
the terms you read about in high
fashion magazines from “smart”
to “breath-taking,” exclusive de
signs. The show opened on the
conservative note with a parade

of suits, figure molded in the
traditional Sophie art. First one
out was in gray flannel piped in
white, worn with daffodil gloves.
Second stunner was a dressmak
er suit in navy with white cuffs
and prim collar. Gone are the
days of the heavy swing skirt.
These silhouettes were pencil
slim, trim, and a joy to behold
as well as wear. Many of them
were double-breasted, most had
b:p length jackets, natural pleats
and soft folds where needed.
Navy, black, varying shades of
gray, one in startling mulberry,
one in rose-heather with come
hither lines, were the colors.
Materials were soft wool, gabar
dine and other lightweight and
servicable weaves. Star model
which was the favorite of both
men and women was a simple
black suit touched with white and
worn with a big white cartwheel
hat.
The slender rolled umbrellas
carried by most of the models
added swagger.
Afternoon dresses for luncheon,
bridge and tea parties bloomed
into less subdued treatment in
silhouette and struck a higher
note on the chromatic color
scale. One was an umbrella print
in white and blue, featuring cap
sleeves. Another was in Vermil
lion graduating into deeper red.
