The What-Not
Shelf

Just above the Lighthouse on
the new Smyrna Municipal Bath
ing Beach, small dock for boats
has been erected. Now would be
the time to encourage more boat
ing on the lake. Since a lot of
motor boats would churn UP and
dirty the water, why not sail
boats? Maybe a Boat Club could
be formed, if enough boat owners
became enthused about the sport,
and races could be held during the
summer months. It's just
thought, so when you get ready to
order your next yacht, make it a
sail boat instead, and have lots of
fun on Lake Como.
If there are just two in your
family, you will be glad to know
that J. Frank Robinson carries a
fine brand of fruit, "All Gold" by
name, which is put up in small
cans costing 10 cents-just enough
for two people. There are Royal
Ann Cherries delicious chilled,
very cold and served with ginger
snaps), pears, apricots, pineapple
tidbits and fruit cocktail. The All
Gold grapefruit section, Is cents,
are a delicious change from fruit
juice at breakfast

Heard in drug store the other
day: why doesn't some enterpris-
ing woman start a Home Service
Bureau, so that busy or working
housewives could simply telephone
for the days menu, and not have
to worry about what to have for
dinner?" The suggester of this
idea then went on to say that she
would gladly pay the fee charged
to have meals all planned for her,
and that the Bureau could supply
all priced menus, from the very in
expensive to the banquet.
1t won't be long before pancake
season is here. Just shut your
eyes and imagine stack of golden
brown pancakes, dripping in butter
and maple syrup, with a plate of
crisp, savory sausage links; Mr..
William Norris has in his hard
ware store the very thing for
quick-cooked, done-to-a-turn pan
cakes. 1t is an aluminium griddle,
known as the three-way griddle. 1t
bakes, fries and broils. Incidental
ly, it is swell for cooking hamburgs
for that after-the-party snack. The
griddle cost S1.69, a bargain for all
the use you get out of it.
In discussing the question of
whether some people really think,
or whether they just feel, Mrs.
Miniyer, in the book of the same
title, by Jan Struther, said, They
do both. But the trouble is, they
keep the two processes entirely
separate. They've never learnt to
think with their hearts, or feel
with their minds"
If any of your friends are get
ting married soon, or you want to
do little renovating around your
own home, visit Robinson's Furni-
ture Store, and ask Mr.. Robinson
to show you the lovely table lamps
he has on sale. The lamp and
shade is S1.75, and as good a buy
as we have seen. Also, while you
are in there, notice the wing fire.
side chair, in blue damask, that IS
on sale for S35.
A wide lawn, a few blankets,
and some good records can provide
group of fifty or so people with
pleasure and entertainment, as
well as a means of keeping cool.
Such monthly concert of record
ings was started by a. family IN
Arden this summer. Invited
guests, all music lovers, listen to
planned programs of their favorite
symphonies, concerto's, and the
like. In bad weather, the guests
sit in the house, as could be done
anywhere during the winter. 1t
was our privilege, however, to at
tend one of these concerts last Fri
day night, when it was clear and
warm. There was a definite charm
and beauty about sitting on a
blanket under the trees, with only
an occasional airplane to disturbe
the magic spell of the music.
