SUE JONES, Editor Wtdnmday. July M, 1*54 • \1 I 3lis %i * > Brs Jeannette The thoughts and connotations evoked by the word “home’ have been dealt with in verse, prose and ballad. So, all I shall say is that it was a splendiferously wond erful feeling to spot Our Town through the cotton and lamb s wool clouds. When yours truly stepped out on the runway with the marl dazzling aU about in the sun—was most sincerely and joy ously happy to be—Home. May I repeat that it’s a pleasure and privilege t 6 chat with you all. The day’s a mite warm, so let’s air condition your buying catching up with where to go for the best. 33 = = No doubt you havo all heard of the "Bio Bargain Days" (Aug. 2, 3, 4) when Our Town's shops will feature "extra-special" specials. For example, Coral Kays Office Supplies, 12* Duval Street which carries a complete line of office supplies will participate. When your supply of paper, dips, folders, etc. needs either replenishing or addition, phono 2-2411 and Coral Keys will give your order immediate and FREE DELIVERY. FASHION NOTE: Indeed ladies have taken to pipes—smoking them, that is! Saw some small, curvy ones (still speaking of pipes) and I’ll bet in no time at all they’ll get as fancy as sun glasses. Can’t you just see milady using her jeweled pipe with evening gowns—the sequinned one with cocktail frocks—plain corn cob for those little “wrap-arounds” worn of a.morning and colored ones for sportswear! 2 2 SS * 5 How's about going on a scav enger hunt In your own homo? You'll havo fun and you can taka your finds to the 'Not Now Shop", 421 Flaming Street whore they'll SELL thorn FOR YOU. This is a fast way to fatten the family exchequer Items wanted: for small fry car seats, high chairs, strollers carriages, bassinettes and cribs. Don't forget only articles in good condition and clean will be handled. Miscellaneous items wanted are: sewing machine, cof fee table, roll-away bed and mat tress, bookcase,with open shelv es, bunk bods which separate into twin beds, power mower, t mitt, movie projector, table mod el radio, desk with typewriter well, and Praise Be—an old-fash ioned wash bowl and pitcherl Look for any one of the above things, or anything else which has reached the "this we can dis pose of stage". Take to the Not Now Shop, on the Fleming side of the La Concha Hotel where you can convert chattels (in good condition) into cash. 255 2 2 Key-notes; The man was of average appearance—well-spoken and well-mannered, and so when he entered one of the local hostel ries for Books —Our Hero was neither alerted nor alarmed. He requested three books—“ Three Cen turies of Ballet”, “The High and Mighty” and one of Andre Gide’s works—then he asked to cash a check. In the course of conversation, the mispronounciation of the word “Islamorada” started warning signals. Consequently, after the man left, Our Hero sprung into action and as a result of phone calls from other shops previously visited and now suspicious, and consultations with the local and county gendarmes the gent was quietly removed from the Bus as it was about to leave. After appropriate inquiry, trial, etc. the man was found to have a long record for other than read ing and San Quentin was listed amongst his alma maters. Our Hero: George Mills White who still insists such a distinction is dubious and that he is merely a sucker for having cashed a bum check! 225 s = Although fish like to swim, it is not considered dastardly to re move them from their habitat and place them—broiled or fried upon a platter. If you are fond of seafood, or would just like to moot up with a cooked Snapper or Yellowtail—shrimp or Turtle— the A and B Lobster House, 700 Front Street specialize and are famous for—their seafood din ners I HEAD HANgInG~OR APOLO GIES TO: The lovely ladies of the JAYSHEES who worked so hard that so many could have great fun at their second “Dip and Dance”. The unexpected is always inconvenient and so it was that SOCIETY - PERSONALS - NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN THE KEY WEST CITIZEN yours truly could not commentate the “old fashioned bathing suit— with Our Town’s bathing beauties modeling” show. Was most disappointed to have missed it—Joan dittoes me in this— and many thanks to Wilhemina Harvey for doing the honors. Hear it was all a huge success—and am real sorry not to have been there. Was sure thinking of you all though! 525 3 2 While fabrics seem to have a special fasination for those who sew, all ladies are interested in making their homes attractive and comfortable. One of the eas iest ways to do this—is to re decorate with slipcovers and drapes. The Caroline Shop, 223 Ann Street are experts in the field of fabrics and decoration and their work is guaranteed, but if you wish to "sew your own", they'll be glad to discuss your "re-do" ideas with you. Their selection of materials (anew shipment will soon be received) Is excellent. For instance, Wav •rly's Glo-Sheen which has had extensive write-ups in magazines is found here. By either phoning 2-5931 er dropping in this delightful Shop, you'll find new charm for your home. =5 3 s DIAMOND CUFF LINKS AND MAGNUMS TO: Ray Helm who gallantly leaped over the railing of the pier at the Sun and Sand to rescue me little bonnet which was on its way to join its prede cessor which went “back to Haiti”, by the same “Blue Water” route. He was visiting Our Town with Frank Bradenburg, Herb West, Jules Hillman, Verne Kramer and Edward Appel—from Johnsville, Pa. Thanks again—and whilst me little hat was a bit squishy and damp—soon it dried and is as good as new! 535 5 5 Joan ofton says how glad sho is that hor mother does not have "weighty" problems, birt know that sure as shootin' if they do occur—she'll take me immediate ly to the—Adorable Beauty Salon, 924 Simonton Street—where they have an extensive array of slend erizing equipment. The charge is nominal, and you can “while away" the pounds in air-condi tioned comfort. ,35525 Loved the remark one of my friends (Betty Bruce) made about the smoke screen my car sets up and seems to maintain. Thought I should equip it with DDT and help the Mosquito Control. Days quite frequently have a way of abruptly turning into a "busy daze", and then having groceries delivered means. a great deal in convenience and time saved. Bill's Supermarket, Poinciana (Phone 2-8880) deliver your order free either in mid-morning or mid-afternoon. Although you all really should drop in this grand grocery store and meet the super-swell people (Bill, Sheila, Momma Jerri and Poppa Louis) , whose thought is always to help you "serve" your moals by handling a wide and good selec tion of foods. At Bill's you will soon discover that they not only carry fine groceries, and excellent meats— but that they have a warmth and friendliness which will make your marketing a pleasure. Be sure and sample that excellent home made macaroni or potato salad which will be so tasty for your "summer suppers". ‘BYE by BLISS: in absentia—to Floy and Jack Thompson, who with their son Beau left Sunday for Pawley’s Island, South Carolina. There will be visiting en route and a wedding to attend—and know that they’ll have a happy vacation. Their many friends will miss them though, and wiU sure be glad when they return in September. While outfitting and equipping yeungsters is always sort a fun k's a downright pleasure at the Ideal Togs, 534 Duval Street where you'll find both the pract ical and fancy necessities. Also, at Ideal they are always watchful for the latest innova tions which will make taking care of the kids an easier business. F'r instance—comes now a "BABY ANCHOR" which means the young uns can be safely bath ed in the bath tub! This is ac complished by means of an unique seat, covered with com fortable cushiony sponge rubber and anchored with four rubber Page 3 Girl Scouts Make Their Own Stoves 9 Cooking Utensils If you and your family have a yen to cook outdoors while you are vacationing, the Girl Scouts of the USA will give you plenty of tips. They practice the whole year through. And come August 16, the Girl Scouts in Key West will acquire even more “know how” during the week-long Day Camp conducted by the Florida Keys Girl Scout Coun cil. The Scout’s manual, “Cooking Outdoors,” is full of handy hints. Along with over 50 pages of re cipes for one-pot meals, “stick” cooking and other kinds of outdoor dishes, the manual has direction for building fires, kinds of fuel to use, methods of food care and cook-out organization. Scouts often mix all the dry in gredients together including powdered milk in recipe-size batches and when they arrive at the campsite, it is a simple matter to whip up a batch of biscuits. These are baked in an oven con structed from tin cans. In prepara tion for cook-outs, Scouts give tin cans the how-to-do treatment aided by a sturdy Scout knife, and tin shears. Ingenious Girl Scouts learn how to make kettles, stoves, corn pop pers, skillets, toasters and broil ers out of various size cans. An “Imu” is a popular method of preparing foods among the local Girl Scouts. No utensils are need ed for an “Imu.” According to the Scouts, it’s a mode of cooking that was used in ancient days by Medi terranean countries: Mesopotamia, Afganistan, Siberia and Japan. When they follow this early cook ing technique, the Scouts line a pit dug on the beach with rocks and build their fire in the pit. When the fire dies down, the rocks are heated and they place the food wrapped in tin foil and wet sea weed next to the hot rocks and cover the pit with more sand. No beater handy for those pre mixed flapjacks? That doesn’t up set a Girl Scout. She cuts a three forked mangrove branch or twig and twirls it in the flapjack batter between the palms of her hands. Most of the Girl Scouts in this area have had very little chance to put what they have learned into practice and they are more than usually impatient for the date of their first “day camp” to roll around. suction caps and of course, a safety bolt. Other new items just received are the "Startßite" Dual Train* er which is medically correct and the most modern method for this important stop in Junior's growing. Also, a plastic perma nurser which is used as a re gular bottle, but is unbreakable and then there was that indispen able item which servos many purposes—the Jack and Jill Kid die Chair which because of its suction capped legs can be used on chairs or in the car. Very easy to tote about too. So, parents you will find use ful and fascinating furniture for your children, plus all they need in the way of wearing apparel— at the Ideal Togsl Was in the Mar-Ed Shop awhile back—scribbling away as usual and looked up to see Carla and Eddi Duckworth watching me with child like intensity. Explained what I was doing, but am not sure they understood—being only of the age—s and 7. Enjoyed chatting with their mother Jean and her friend, Bettina Gunderson. S S 3S S = Speaking of the Mar-Ed Shop, 421-B Duval Stroot—must toll you of TERRIFIC BUYS FOR SI.OO which will be found on the table in the middle of the shop on Thursday Morning. Amongst the miscellany will be theesa and thatta in the undergarment line—"T" shirts—some bathing suits, etc. Because Mar-Ed car ries many of the well-known "name" lines, you can be assur ed that this Thursday Morning Spocial will have extraordinarily good values! Another unusual feature now at the Mar-Ed Shop is their "Calypso" window which dis plays some of the new bold prints and tropical motifs which have just been received, both in one piece bathing suits and wrap around skirts. s s SB s s Jim Cobb has sprouted the most luxuriant, bright red mustache, but the bulging jaw was not grown to match or as a result thereof just a bum tooth acting up. s * mm * s Home Appliance Cos., 405 Sim enton Stroot is known for carry ing nationally advertised and well-known makos of major el ectrical appliances.

You should be most cautious to buy only from a responsible dealer and be sure that the make is one of an es tablished manufacturer. Remem ber that repair' bills can mount up, but at Home Appliance you can buy with complete confi dence. £5 = 5 = PAST PARTICLES: It is with a happy reluctance (?) that the last paragraph of the New York Sun Man’s Sketch written in 1899 about Our Town appears: “Wrecks and weather are the remaining topics. No newspapers or books are read. Nothing is known of what is going on in the outer world, and nobody cares. Ex cept gambling, crime is almost un known. The people are quiet, peaceful, lazy, religious, ignorant and blissfully (oh, no!) content.” === = = BARGAINS IN BASKETS! The Ditty Box, 832 Duval Street is one of Our Town's most unique and distinctive shops. Here the reed and rafie have been woven into many containers of all siz es, shapes and for all purposes. During the entire month of August, all basketware will be REDUCEDI Because the charm ing owner has planned a "clear ance" to make way for new mer chandise to be purchased when she returns from vacation, you now have a magnificent oppor tunity to buy lovely and charm ing backets for yourself or friends. Buying now at the ores ently offered reductions will be a thrifty way to always have on hand gifts or prizes for use when the occasion arises. The Ditty Box has also placed a soecial price on their Sisal door mats and saw that the Guatamalean skirts were also re duced. Better hurry for these as there are not many left. My Red Shawl tells” me that Sylvia (now playing mighty fine piano at the Bamboo Room) will be leaving around August 3 for Keyport. Washington! Seems as if her husband requested Key West for duty and after the word “key” things changed. Sylvia declares she’s gonna be a misplaced Conch way out there— but at least part of the name should cheer her up, and we’ll all miss her mightily! Would liko to suggest ''turtle" es that something different but good to have for dinner. Many of you all might be new to Our Town and for some reason or other not be interested in this delicacy. However, you have a wonderful treat in store for you and truly, it is very simple to prepare. Though your fishing luck may be good, seriously doubt if you're about to catch a green turtle weighing about 400 lbs. just any ole day in the week. So, by all means go to Lowe'* Fish Company, 900 Caroline and ask for TURTLE either ground for burgers or sliced and tenderized for steaks. Don't forget that here you will find fresh seafood also! Fish, shrimp, conch, etc. === = s My Red Shawl tells me that of Our Town’s most charming and lovely ladies are up to startling things. Because of their recent ex ploits yours truly shall call them “Girl Athletes, ’54”. In one day, after shall we say a lapse of more time than some what they decided to swim and indulge in a game of tennis. Y’know sell more liniments that way! Then— undaunted —another day —and they went fishing. Catch: One shark apiece. And so, for reasons known only to them Elsie Keyes and Edie Moffatt have taken to the great outdoors and sports! s= £ £ "Bertram" is my cuckoo clock and now tha usually anargatic littla guy is ailing. It's hands ara listless and frequently just drop off! And so, yours truly shall taka it to Pruitt tha Watchmaker and repairer of clocks at 402 Southard Street. "Tinker" Pruitt has a way and knowledge of clocks and time pieces which means that you have the good fortune to place your watches in the hands of an experienced and expert watch maker! 5 = =3 = £ Saw the Cadillac with "Florida Calling” emblazoned on the side Square Dance At Bay view Park On Thursday Night Folk and square dancing is being added to the many and varied pro grams being presented in Bay view Park by the City Recreation De partment, it was announced today by Recreation Director Albury. Arrangements have been com pleted for the first of these dances Thursday night, July 29 on the basketball court at Bayview Park, beginning at 7:30. Rev. Eldon Simmons and Mrs. Twylla Fishel have very gracious ly consented to do the calling. Both are experienced callers, having served in this capacity in Key West and other places. There will be no age limit and it is hoped that a large group will turn out. If they are successful, we will arrange dances every two weeks, Mr. Albury said. Fishing Trip And Fish Fry Enjoyed By Navy Choir Members of the US Naval Sta tion Catholic choir are convinced that “music hath charms” because the fish “sure responded” when the group went fishing aboard the “Storm King” on Saturday, July 24. Captain Shirley Garson is the skipper of the “Storm King” and George Troff is mate. They caught grouper, yellow tail, grey snapper and porgys. Father Galland is still bragging about the large barracuda that snapped his line. After the group returned, they held a fish fry on Father Galland’s lawn. While waiting for the fish to be cooked, Father Galland showed a collection of colored slides taken when he was serving in Japan. Cecil Carbonells Leave For Extended Vacation Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Carbonell left Sunday for a motor trip to the j Carolinas and then to the West Coast. They were accompanied by Miss Naomi Sawyer and expect to be gone about five weeks. Season a couple of cups of cook ed rice with a half teaspoon of chili powder and a half teasooon of garlic salt. Serve with ham burgers or meat loaf. * and the name of "Tom Moore” printed thereon, ond figured that Mr. and Mrs. Fred Goebel of In dianapolis who won a state-wide tour on the “Florida Calling” pro gram were in the vicinity. And they were having dinner at the Sun and Sand and yours truly had a short chat with them. Be cause they had arrived late and were leaving at 1:30 the next day there was not time for them to visit our shops. Also met Bill Carter who is as sociated with the program and was fascinated and fatigued at the strenuous schedule of 1500 miles covered set up. They were swell people and know they sure liked Our Town, even in such a brief space of time. ££s 5 s Stopped by Einhem's Variety Store, corner Angela and Duval and— there are still many, many good buys at great sav ings to be had! Of course, this shop is wonderful, with a person ality all its own and the variety of merchandise is astounding! For things in the small house ware line or drug sundries or grocery category (including gourmet items and marvelous Kosher, Cuban and Chinese food specialties). Don't forget the price in many instances is re duced 'cause Einhorn's expect to move to another location soon.

TELEPHONE: Citizen Office , 2-5661 Teen Tips Don’t hide your face in shame if your skin is not up to par —do something about it. Remember first that teen-age acne bothers from 60 to 90 per cent of today’s adolescents and that boys are most frequent suf fers. Although it may be some com fort that many others are in the same boat with you, don’t let that l make you resigned to staying there. Best way to beat the pimple and blemish stage is to use some com mon sense and good living habits. Since acne, to a large extent, is a glandular condition, it often can be helped by: adequate exercise, maintaining normal weight and eating habits, plenty of liquids and sufficient rest. Eat the skin-beautifying foods such as leafy green vegetables and lean meats and go sparingly on those highly caloric sweets and fried foods. Make sure that hair, towels, powderpuffs, anything that touches your face, is sparkling clean. Also avoid wearing rough, hairy or wooly clothing which may irritate your face or back. If your acne continues, the fam ily physician will have construc tive treatment and suggestions For example, he may tell you to go easy on such cosmetics as pow der, rouge or face creams. Or he may suggest some medicated cos metics and lotions. A good rule at all times is to keep your face and hands clean soap and are first re quirements for anyone's grooming —'AP Newsfeatures.
