From CITY d III: .

City Commissioners refused
last night to allow a carnival
sponsored by the VIEW. Post
39ll, to come to Key West.
Profits from the carnival were
to go towards building a home
for the VIEW. on property pur-
chased by the organization on
Elizabeth street.
Monroe County Service Of
ficer Jack Saunders: Our Or
ganization has purchased a lot
on Elizabeth street. and we want
to build a home on the lot. We
need more money than we now
have. We are planning on bring
ing a carnival during the month
of January. We are asking the
city to suspend carnival license
fees. The carnival will have
plenty of animals for the chill
dren's enjoyment, All money
that, we derive from the carnival
will go toward our new home"
Commissioner John Carbonell:
Last year l voted for the car
nivaE, but will not do so this
year. There was gambling at the
carnival last year, and besides,
the Volunteer Firemen, of which
l am a member, made very lit
tie money from this affair. The
merchants of Key West will be
on our ''necks" if we allow a
carnival to come here"
Mayor Adams: Il favor VIEW.
and other decent organizations,
but I oppose the filthy type of
amusement that is present at
carnivals. The carnivalS take
tens of thousands of dollars from
the city, and leave hungry peo-
pie. l will personally do my
share to help the VIEW. obtain
a home. What l say may not be
popular, but l will not vote for
a carnival to come to Key West"
Jack Saunders: Thank you,
gentlemen, for the statements,
but in rebuttal, Key West mon
ey and a lot of it just went to
Miami when many Key Westers
attended the circus recently
held there. The only money that
stayed in. Key West was for the
gasoline purchased before the
Key WesterS left. Also the state
ment was made that the carni-
walls take money from the city.
The same could be said of those
who sell groceries, autos, etc. 1t
is the same parallel. The cars
are made in Detroit and other
places. and the only thing that
stays in Key West is the profit,
and that is what would stay in

Felipe Carbonell: Il am against
carnivals. Business in Key West
is killed when carnivals are
present here. l would donate $50
to the VIEW. for their home, but
l am opposed to letting them
sponsor a carnival"

Trevor told the commission that
a busineSs-like operation or
lease of the snack bar should be
able to meet the expenses of
maintenance and utilities.
Mayor Adams: II compliment
Mr.. Trevor for his handling of
iris matter. If we had more 81
month men like Trevor, the
city would be better off. We
were first asked for $4,000.
This $4,000 has been eliminated
and a proper handling of the
snack bar should take care of the
janitorial and utility expenses.
Acting City Manager Trevor:
we have three travel agents in
town. Something should be done
for their protection. The travel
agents ask that when another
agency wants to come to Key
West, that it be required to
put up $4,000 performance
bond and that six months resi-
dence be required before opera
ton of an agency. l am in ia

Commissioner Dion: THE
question of bond would be a
constitutional matter"
Attorney Ignatius Lester: "A
bond could be required under
the police power of the city. but
the bond would have to be rea-
sonable, not a $4,000 figure"
Trevor: Il have few matters

Bank OF Wilmington DUAL.
flied To Handle This
Type Loan

The Bank of Wilmington, one of
Wilmington's most popular and
progressive financial institutions, is
located in the heart of the city on
the corner of Front and Chestnut
Streets.
Opening for business on May Is,
1929 as the Morris Plan Bank of
Wilmington, this bank has grown
until its resources today are in ex-
cess Of 81, 700, 900. Since opening,
more than GO, 1000 loans have been
made for amounts aggregating in
excess of $23, 900, O0U.
In January of this year the name
was changed to "The Bank of Will
mington' in order that the name
might more properly indicate the
general nature of the banks serv-
ces.
The official staff consists of
Emsley A. Laney, President; Or.
J. T. Hoggard, Vice-President;
James H. Foyles, Cashier; Lionel
Stevenson, Assistant Cashier; Mrs.
Annie G.. Shackelford, Assistant
Secretary; W. Eugene Farriss,
Manager, Sales Finance Depart
ment: and Harriss Newman, Coun-
sci. Bruce B. Cameron, DR.. J. T.
Hoggard, Fred E. Little, Harriss
Newman, Emsley A. Laney and E.
Reid Toms compose the Board of
Directors.
Checking facilities - both the
conventional "Standard'' and the
pay-as-you-go Popular and
savings facilities are offered this
banks customers. In addition,
here are collection services and
safe deposit services, as well as
the popular Christmas Club.
In the credit field a wide vari-
ETY. of loans 49, business and per-
sonal - r available. Ever seek
ing to properly serve the credit
needs of our community. The Bank
Of Wilmington actively s%olicits all
types of constructive loans: Com
alercial. Collateral. Real Estate,
Automobile. Aircraft, Morris Plan
IComaker. Modernization, as we'll as
many others. The bank also han
dies all types Of sales financing
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-03-12

for automobile, appliance, and air
craft dealers.
One of the most popular types
of loans is the FLA Title I Mod
ernization loan. This loan came
into being in 1888 as a result of
governmental desire to liberalize
credit so that property improve
ments might be made which, of
course, meant that building ma
~terials moved and men were put
to work.
The Bank OF Wilmington qualified
at once to handle these loans and
since 1888 has extended $770, 900
modernization credit to property
owners without the necessity of re
quiring a mortgage or other col
lateral or endorsers.
FILA Title I financing is bene-
fetal to both the builder-contract-
or and the property owner. The
contractor gets his money i'm
mediately his work is finished -
and the property owner has as
long as. So months for payment in
convenient monthly 'installments.
Quite often the entire credit ar
engagements are made by the con-
tractor.
The simple short application
form is filed and approved, and
the note secured only by the sigma
ture of the property owner is dis
counted for the contractor upon his
certifying that the work is COM
Ipleted, without the necessity of
the borrower even visiting the
bank.

The average hard : working
housekeeper and mother is likely
to be feeling slightly worn and
bedraggled any time after four
o'clock in the afternoon. At such
a moment there S nothing more
comforting than a good cup Of
tea. How about making a resolu-
ton, Mother, that from Your
Day on this year you'll have only
good cups of tea.
It isn't hard to brew tea prop
erly. but few of us in this country
seem to do it right. In the first
place, it pays to buy good tea.
Such tea has far more flavor and
fragrance than ordinary tea.
First, heat the rot in which
you mean to brew the tea by
filling it with boiling water. Start
with fresh cold water in your
kettle and bring it to a full, roll.
ing boil. Dry the brewing pot and
put into it a teaspoonful OF tea
per cup of water. Now pour the
rapidly boiling water directly on
to the tea. Let the brew stand
from three to five minutes, de :
pending upon how strong you like
your tea. Now strain off the tea
into another pre-heated tea pot :,
and serve at once, with cream or
milk, lemon and sugar, according
to taste. If it's a tea party you're
giving it's fun to stick lemon
slices with a few whole cloves.
What to serve with tea is again
a matter of personal taste. Most
real tea lovers, as well as ladies
who watch their waistlines like
best to have just the thinnest of
bread and butter sandwiches, be-
cause the teas the thing.
Thin cucumber sandwiches,
with Just a grind Of pepper and
a dash OF salt are delicious with
tea. So are rolled ones with a
sprig of ~watercress sticking out OF
the top.
If you want to make the tea
party a bit special. whip up the
following mullins and serve them
hot.

Last year American men spent

they'll raise the ante by another

But they are bashful and sheep

dollars worth of "beauty aids"
So much so that retailers were
recently given this advice:
Location of a mems t~oiletries
department is important. It should
have privacy and be away from
the women's counter. Clerks
should be male, and the packag-
ing should have as masculine a
look as possible"
While men are ready and will
ing to spend their money making
themselves more attractive to
women, they don't want 10 be
caught at it. They prefer to go on
with the pretense of masculine
carelessness and Indifference.
But women went through the

THE SECRET of a successful
rock garden depends largely upon
achieving the effect of a natural
outcropping. This, in turn, de-
ponds upon ones ability to plant
the rocks properly. Far too often
rock gardens resemble rock piles.
Often there are more rocks than
plants, with the rocks pointing in
every direction.
A cardinal rule in making a
rock garden is to have all the
rocks point or dip in the same
general direction. This method
tends to give a naturalistic effect.
The stones used should be large
enough so as not to shift out of
position once placed. Unstable
rocks are teracherous. To give a
solid and permanent effect bury
the rocks at least one-third their
depth.
Do not stand a rock on end, as
illustrated in the accompanying
Garden-Graph. Each rock SHOULD
be "planted" on its broadest
base, as illustrated. Use OF rocks
to be found in your w locality

to the rock garden. 1t also adds
to the beauty of the rock garden
If some of the rocks can tail

lawn. Incidentally, porous rock
is preferable to a non-porous type.
An open hillside bank or Stop
ing piece of ground is the ideal
site for the rock garden. When
lii can be built near a pool, pond
or stream of water a great deal
of charm is added.

NEW YORK - Etiquette for
baby-sitters has been evolving as
the sitter becomes more and more
a part OF American family life.
For the benefit of hermits and
bachelors, a sitter is any person,
from IA to 80, who undertakes to
watch the kids when parents are
away from home. They are usu-
ally paid an hourly fee, and most
of the legion are tenn-agers.
Here is a set OF conduc: rules.
