There were flags of “Welcome”
draped over the Trevor residence
on Avenue “E” the other day (but
actually) and the event was the

Wa* yours truly ever flattered
last week when I received an in
vitation to a ‘“young people’s par
ty”—and I sure did go and had
ever such a good time—
One of Our Town’s prettiest
belles was the hostess and surpris
ingly enough, did know many of
the guests. Of course, must admit
they were sons and daughters of
friends of mine—however, lemme
tell you about this splendid party

Couldn’t help pausing at the
edge of the beautiful tiled patio
and looking out into the spacious
and lovely garden—and there was
a happy gathering of pretty girls in
crisp, dainty party frocks and good
looking lads—all slicked - up—and
while the colored lights which were
strung high up across the yard—
aded a great'deal to the festivities
—they sure couldn’t compare with
the loveliness of the young ladies
of Our Town—nor all the laughter
and fun that was present.
Sure didn’t know all the young
people there, but did see Pat
Towner and met her brother,
George and the Martinez girls—
Dora and Norma —and George
Morales (have decided that all
young men with this name arc
handsome —) —and Ann and June

Bigelow—Joe Coughlin—Art Lynch
—Pete Davis—Bob and Vi Ann
Youmans and their house guest—
John Terjesen Judy and Ellen
Trevor and their guest—Nancy and
oh golly, quite a few more. .
And because I just happened to
know that the charming hostess
would be nineteen the next day
and because she was most sweet
to think of me—and because all
her guests had one big, fine, swell
time— may I say “Happy Birth
day” to Barbara Adams.

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE
Visitor From The Other End Of
U.S. 1 Likes Life In Key West
By BILL SPILLMAN
“Key West is much bigger than I expected,” Frances Colcord.
a visitor from the other end of the road, reported. “After all I’ve
read about the island, I’m rather amazed.”
Mrs. Colcord is visiting her brother, Captain Roger Brooks, USN
(ret), of 1600 Francis Street. Brooks is presently in the Naval Hos
pital.
Mrs. Colcord, who comes from
near the Maine end of U.S. 1
says that her home is right on
the highway.
She is secretary of the Sears
port Marine Museum in Sears
port, Maine. The Museum is con
sidered to be one of the most
prominent of its kind in the
country. Over 250 pictures of fa
mous sailing ship masters are ex
hibited there, she says.
Mrs. Colcord took over as sec
retary to the Museum after the
death of her husband, Lincoln
Colcord. Colcord, until his death,
was considered to be the most
outstanding national authority
on Maine sailing ships 3 lich
were often called “the best built.”
Mrs. Colcord’s husband came
from five generations of ship
masters and he was bom aboard
a sailing ship as the ship rounded
the Horn. He sailed ships with
his father until he was fourteen.
During his life he wrote several
sea-faring books which were best
sellers of their time. Most of
his works on writing were nov
els of the sea. Today they are
considered collector’s items.
Not only was Mrs. Colcord’s
husband a novelist, he was a col
umnist for a newspaper, a radio
announcer, a commentator, and
a Democrat in Maine.
Mrs. Colcord states that they
had no arguments over the fact

Bet you ell can remember
when you wor# first married
how very little you know of fab
rics, and color schemes—and
quite frequently, would get

which knows all the answers to
the questions and problems of

slipcovers, bedspreads. They

If you wish to buy fresh fish

GIES TO: the gentlemen who
went to Einhorn’s Variety Store
expecting a “special” on tooth
paste. Am sorry yours truly was
misunderstood on this—they do
have a nice savings on many drug
sundries here—and I listed a few
—but then meant, that in addition
lo those articles—they also carried
toothpaste, etc.

My name is Terrible Tess
And my heir's a horrible mess
Just heard what 1 should do—
they belonged to different polit
ical factions.
Mrs. Colcord is a good friend
of a well-known visitor to Key
West, Waldo Pierce, a nationally
known painter and friend of Ern
est Hemingway. They corre
sponded frequently, she said.
Mrs. Colcord states that the old
shipmasters’ descendents are not
“digging clams in Maine” as some
people state but have entered in
to fine upstanding trades con
nected with the sea. She told of
one old shipmaster’s family from
Searsport, which now owns one
of the largest import-export busi
nesses on the west coast.
Mrs. Colcord told very precise
ly how her father used to teach
electrical engineering. She stated
that he was instrumental in the
design of the dial system which
is now in use by the telephone
companies.
Mrs .Colcord, because of her
close association with the sea and
its subjects, says that she likes
Key West most of all because of
close proximity to ocean view.
She will stay in Key West un
til the latter part of July and
then return to Searsport.
Mrs. Roger Brooks, wife of
Captain Brooks, is presently do
ing post graduate work at the
University of Miami in connec
tion with her school teaching
work.
