From the thrilling moment that
the jets from FAWTU roared over
Our Town in perfect formation,
an excitement and festive spirit
prevailed. And with the arrival di
the Marines the Parade was on.
The citizenry really turned out.
Streets, balconies, roofs were fill
ed with spectators. It was a mag
nificent business to see both the
people and the parade friends
greeting friends and there was
much raillery that evening.
Joan was a good sport and let
me use her “back” as a writing
table, and so shall tell you today
throughout “BB” -of Our Town’s
Armed Forces Day Parade.
But of course, even with pat
riotism flaming and high pride in
the stirring spectacle I would
n’t be yours truly, if I didn’t think
of all my good friends and yoo.rs,
whose shop doors were closed that
night. And so, let’s slip in and
look about before the Parade gets
under way.

needless.

on display I immediately dubbed

They sure sprinkled pretty gals
around and even the most techni

Never saw so many at once and
while the floats were lovely, the

added beauty.

"Tommy Tuekor" ond "Casey

conversation turned to their homo

Even at their tender age, they
were most interested in the

"Loyce Mario" who stylos those

shouldn't have their feelings hurt
because this famous, sanforized,

Parades are usually for children

However, I’m speaking of all the
little boys and girls who rode in
the cars or were featured on a
float or who, bless their hearts
hiked the full distance.
Particularly noticed the gram

were marching with uncertain

Sandal time is summer time

You'll be astonished at the

know, they are not very expen
sive and you can easily afford
several pairs. Be wise and go to
Globe for a successfully "sandal

Nothing is more cool and com

leg at half-mast to the knee. He
had more fun pitching shoes his
high into the air.
The man who held the dog in
his arms the entire time. Was a
real cute pooch and didn’t wriggle
once from its position of "sitting
up” —with 'front paws bent down.
Sure wish I’d had a tid-bdt to give
him, for he was “begging” in a
very quiet way. Asked his master
what kind of a dog he was and re
ceived the answer “just dog” —.
You'll have no difficulty find

Duval and Angela Streets. If that
big Sunday morning breakfast
you'd planned for the family gets

out of eggs go to E inhorn's
they're open all that day. Also,
how many times we've discover
ed at the last minute right at
supper time there is some
thing missing! Send Poppa down
to Einhorn's 'cause they're open
every nite until 9:00 except
Wednesday! Even the best house
keepers forget things —but don't
forget E inhorn's have a multi
tudinous miscellany of everything
groceries, magazines, notions,
drugs, etc.
While they don't have the vino

the "by-product" thereof. Also,
they have that icy coMaderiva

Gray Ladies View
Red Cross Film
At Recent Coffee
The regular monthly meeting of
the Gray Ladies Corps of the Am
erican Red Cross was held at the
recreation hall annex of the US
Naval Hospital on Thursday, May
13 at 10:00 a. m.
Twenty members were present,
with Mrs. Carola Nettles, local Red
Cross executive secretary, Miss
Elizabeth King, Red Cross social
service director, and Miss Ruth
Hutton, Red Cross recreation di
rector for the U.S. Naval Hospital
in attendance.
Hostesses for the morning coffee
were Mrs. Thelma Hartley and
Mrs. Katharine S. Monroe.
A Red Cross film was shown to
the group. Based on President Ei
senhower’s address to the Nation
al Red Cross Convention in Wash
ington, D. C., scenes depicting var
ious Red Cross aids and services
around the world were interspers
ed throughout the film.
There was a short business ses
sion after the showing of the film.
A report was given of the birth
day party held last month at the
Monroe County Home for the Aged.
Hostesses for the May birthday
party will be Mrs. H. E. Pace,
Mrs. Carolyn Hand and Mrs. Lal
lafaye Haseltine.
The new work schedule for next
month’s activities was arranged.
The Gray Ladies assist in var
ious clinics at the Naval hospital
and at Boca Chica, and in the
children’s ward. They help with
recreation programs, handicrafts,
with the bookcraft, ward visiting
and in any other way that is re
quested.
A letter of appreciation from
Captain R. S. Simpson, command
ing officer of the Naval Hospital,
was read. The letter thanked the
Corps for their services and assis
tance during the Gamma Globulin
inoculation program last week.
It was announced that a car
would be provided for the Gray
Ladies to ride in the Armed For
ces Day parade. Several volunteer
ed for this.
Miss Elizabeth King told of her
immediate transfer to Fort Bragg,
North Carolina. The Corps express
ed its regret at her departure. Mrs.
Thelma Hartley who has been co
chairman of the Gray Ladies will
be leaving in June. Her husband
has been transferred to French
Morocco. Mrs. Hartley and their
three children will join him as soon
Was amused at the way the "pa
tients” on the floats kept stirring
around! After all, seeing a friend
is very important even if you’re
supposed to be ill. No point in
hamming it up.
However, we should not loose
significance of the excellent medi
cal care the boys in the Armed
Services receive. While on this sub
ject —a rose for the Red Cross
because of its fine work.
Also, don’t forget that the Blood
Center always needs donors. Do
you realize that in addition to blood
plasma your donations c ti the
vital red are responsible also for
the Gamma Globulin supply. Yes,
this priceless aid to polio preven
tion is made from the part of the
human blood that contains anti
bodies. So don’t forget your Red
Cross which does so very much
for those in Service and elsewhere!

My friend Hattie wasn't in at
J. R. Stowers Cos., 533 Duval
so I'm not too sure she wants
me to tell you this week about
those fine pianos Wurlitzer
is their name. However, they are
so wonderful, I must mention
them.
Remember you're never too
old to learn to play the piano and
what a pleasure this accomplish
ment will bring. Perish the
thought —but there are those
who might say "long-haired
stuff" when the word piano is
mentioned —but we all know
a bit of jazz and boogie-woogie
also requires a good piano. Wur
litzer craftmanship and styling
which is famous throughout the
country is found right on the
floor at J. R. Stowers! Go see
it bang a few keys net too
hard realize how much this
fine piano will add to your en
joyment of living.

Speaking of bands and the par
ade —a unamious cry of "Boy,
they’re but mighty good!” always
greets the Douglass High School
Bands. And they surely are just
that! Rhythm really flows and
their high-stepping majorettes give
a splendid show. They always
seem to be enjoying themselves so
much that you can’t help but en

which are the "Key-note” of the
Douglass Bands!

ZOLA CAMUS—who plays the part of Peggy, the half Spanish
half Irish beauty in the “Filibusters." Zola, tike ViAnn You
mans, is a direct descendent of Philipe Sanches. "Lobo Del
Mar," one of the most famous of the real "filibusters." She is
his great grandniece.—Citizen Staff Photo, Karns.
Zola Camus To Take Part Of Peggy
In “The Filibusters 99 On May 20
If Philipe Sanchez were alive today, he’d be mighty interested in
all the preparations for the production of the “Filibusters” on May
20 at the San Carlos, because the play is based on happenings in
and around Key West that he would know all about.
He would be pleased, too, at seeing Zola Camus in the play.
She’ll be seen as Peggy, the hal f-Spanish - half-Irish beauty who
plays such havoc with Lt. Tim M oore’s heart.
Both Zola and ViAnn Youmans'
are direct descendents of the fam
ous old “Wolf of the Sea.” Zola is
his great grandniece and Vi Ann is
a great granddaughter.
In the Filibusters, Zola and Vi-
Ann as Peggy and Solita, are close
friends and are up to their pretty
necks in helping the cause of Cu
ba’s liberation from Spain.
The two young Navy officers, Lt.
St. Johns and Lt. Moore find that
these two beautiful young ladies
complicate their mission to Key
West in more ways than one.
Many tense situations in the play
arise when these four young peo
ple find themselves torn between
love and duty.
Besides taking part in the play,
Zola is chairman of the grand ball
at the Casa Marina honoring the of
ficial party representing the Cuban
Government at the invitation of the
State Department in Washington
D. C. which issued the invitation
at the request of the San Carlos
Institute, sponsors of the Fiesta
Alegre y Beneficia.

Neighbors and friends were ex

beloved wife and mother, the late

of kindness and expressions of
sympathy. Especially do we wish
to thank those who sent flowers

for their kindness.
