we needed money just as bad as
She did. One day Barbara told
June that she knew how she
could make a hundred dollars,
quickly and easily, and, naturally.
june was interested. She said
she'd met fellow who wanted
,girfto pose for some book illus
tratlons. Intimate poses she said,
for books which would be circu-
lated privately, so none of her
friends would ever recognize her.
Well, June needed the money
awfully bad-and she told Bar

'That was John Faraday?"
'Yes. He telephoned the next
evening and told June to come
to his place the following Sunday
morning"
Z "Where was that?"
'tOn Clark Street. I forget the
number but it was in bookstore.
June made me 60 with her, and
when we got there the fellow that
was in the elevator last night
took US downstairs. There was a
photographer there who posed

Was it the Anchor Book
Stere?"
Il think So" She nodded. 1--WE
were there about an hour, and
this Faraday tried to get me to
pose, too. needed the money but
| wouldn't do it. ANYWAY. when
June finished, he gave her an en-
velope with hundred dollars in
it and said he'd send her prints
of the pictures for her memory
book. That's all there was to it."
did Faraday introduce himself
to you?"
Il suppose so. don't remem-
ber." Elaine shook her head un-
certainly. There was a clerk up
in front when we went in, and
we told her we wanted to see Mr..
Faraday. She called to him, to-
ward the back of the store where
the Office is, and he came out
Exactly what did the clerk

on the future beef outlook by
saying:
1T is too early to be sure of the
answer, and we shall have to
watch closely developments in
cattle marketing and production
during the months ahead"
The secretary explained that
when the long-range price pros
poets for cattle are favorable,
farmers tend to hold back more
cattle for breeding purposes and
herd expansion. But when future
prospects turn less favorable,
Brannan said, beef raisers are in
clined to sell off more than their
current rate of production. And
that, he explained, means fewer
cattle and smaller beef supplies
later on.

Poppies Help
Var Disabled

How disabled veterans of both
wars are aided by Poppy Day
contributions was described to-
day by Mrs. George Carey, Re-
Mobilization Chairman of Arthur
Sawyer Unit of the American Lee
Sion Auxiliary, as the auxiliary
continued preparations for the
observance of Poppy Day here
on Saturday, May 81.
The dimes. quarters and dol
lars which people contribute in
exchange for their memorial rop-
pies form the backbone of the
financial support for the extern
sive activities carried out con-
stantly by the Auxiliary for the
welfare of the disabled veterans, -
Mrs. George Skies, co-chairman,
said. If it were not for the gen.
crosby of the millions of people
who wear the little red poppy
each year in memory of the war
dead, the many services of the
auxiliary to the living victims of
the two wars could not be car
ried out.
Poppy Day contributions are
used to bring comfort and cheer
to disabled veterans in the hos
pitfalls. They provide aid for dis
abled men outside of the hosri-
tails who are having difficulties
in reestablishing themselves eco
nomically. They help care for
the children of disabled veterans
while the veterans are undergo
ing hospital treatment. They pay
the wages which mean so much
to the veterans who make the
peoples. The coin dropped into
the collection box of an Auxil-
larry volunteer on Poppy Day
works for the disabled veterans
throughout the year"
Mrs. Skies and Mrs. Carey will
distribute popries on Poppy Day
with other auxiliary members
and volunteers from other organ
izations.
1T will be firing, unaccustom-
ed work for me-" Mrs. Carey
said, but l feel it is just about
the most worthwhile work l can
ever do. 1t keeps fresh the in
spring memory of the war dead,
and brings aid to those stricken
defenders of our country who are
still within the reach of human
help"

The Sorority has reported CO.
operation on the part of many of
the firms they have contacted
and are hoping for further re-
suits before Saturday. Miss
Blanche Miller, one of the Soro-
rity's members. also appeared be-
<fore City Commission meeting
asking for their assistance. AS a
resIlt of Miss Miller's request.
overh cad decorations of flags and
bunting are already being placed
all along the line of March on
Duval street from Greene street
to Truman avenue.
Stressing the fact that Key
West is Navy Town and owes
much of its progress to that
branch of the armed forces, the
Sorority has been urging both
business establishments and the
citizenry to show their apprecia-
ton by giving Key West as fes-
tive an air as possible on Satur-
day. The group of canvassers
have with them special display
cards describing t h various
kinds of flags and welcome signs
available through a Fort Lauder
dale firm which handles decorat-
ing for military functions. Many
of the firms are also using their
own flags and bunting.

,1Wl4NIC FIRST AID
4 FIXTURE OF COURSE

What the public should do in
case of an atomic attack is fea-
tufSd in the new American Stan
Gard First Aid Course beginning
at i7;30 p. m. on May % in the
First Methodist Church annex.
:. Realizing that the possibility of
such an attack is never very far
from the public's consciousness.
the Red Cross has ADDED four
hours to its basic aid training in
order to inform people regarding
the best procedure for their own
safety and the safety of others
should such an event occur.
/ 1t is now estimated that a per-
centage of the lives lost in the
hiroshima and Nagasaki blasts
might have been saved if the
populace had known exactly what
to do when the thing happened.
, Tony Martinez, First Aid
Chairman of the local chapter of
American Red Cross, said the
course consists of eighteen hours
of lectures. with four additional
hours to cover first aid in case of
atomic or gas attacks. Two hours
will also be devoted to other inn
portant information regarding
civil defense.
The class is open to men and
women. Certificates will be given
on the completion of the course
and will be valid for three years.
Fourteen American Legion Auxil-
larry members and several other
persons serving with civil defense
units here have already register
ed.
