! From Mrs. Kathryn Bennett, Mid
! dIetown, Pa: I remember the
j. Hokey Pokey Man who came
around every evening during the
summer. For a penny we could get
a big, cooling and refreshing Hockey
Pokey, with bright colored cherry
flavoring poured over it. I always
got cherry, although it smelled and
tasted like hair tonic.
From Frank Cochran, Webb City.
Mo-: 1 remember the first schools
that / attended were in log house,
about 80 feet square, with large
fireplace that burned wood about
six feet long. There was no floor.
The benches were made from logs
split through the center and hewed
smooth. There were four holes
bored on the round side and wooden
pins used for legs in the holes.
There was huge puncheon door.
The house had no .rafters.
From Mrs. G. b. Scott, Meadows Of
Dan, Va: I remember when I
was a little girl, mother and we
girls would card and spin yarn and
knit our winter stockings and
gloves. Women wore dresses to the
ground Most everybody walked;
sometimes a young man would ride
horseback and take his best girl
on behind him to church and back.
From George A. Musmhenner,
Douglas, ILL.,: I can remember
when there was death in the fam
lily, all the pictures were turned
with their faces to the wall, the
: clock was stopped, and no one
spoke above a whisper while the
body was in the house.
From william Shaner, Lakeview,
Ohio: I remember when daddy
bent pins, fastened them to piece
of string, tied on nail for a sinker,
and sent us to the creek fishing.
Oh yes, we had can of worms.

TO BE FILLED

Huge filling operations at Roose-
Velt Boulevard and Dredgers Key
road are being undertaken by bay
bottom owners Claude Gandolfo
and Howard Wilson, it was learned
today.
The partners recently leased five
acres with an option to buy Is
more to Charles Rosen, restaurant
tycoon, better known as "Chuck. i"
At that time an area only 100 feet
by 400 was filled in the 20 acre
tract of bay bottom. The area to
be filled amounts to 1,253, 500
feet.
Today the Army Corps of Engi-
neers announced that Gandolfo and
Wilson have applied for permits
to maintain their existing fill and
to place additional fill in the fol-
lowing areas:
AT the northwest intersection of
Roosevelt boulevard and DredgerS
Key road, to extend fill northward
about 545 feet along Dredgers Key
road and about 400 feet westward
along Roosevelt boulevard. It is
also proposed to fill two additional
areas one Immediately westward
of the above mentioned area, about
1890 feet long and 545 feet wide,
parallel TO and about 125 feet
northward from Roosevelt boule-
ward.
The other area to be filled win
be about 700 feet long and 545 feet
wide and will be parallel to and
about 125 feet northward from
Roosevelt boulevard. This latter
area viii be about 1000 feet west
ward from the intersection OF
Roosevelt boulevard and DredgerS
Key Road and will be connected
to the boulevard with a causeway
about so feet wide.
Fill material, the application
states, will be obtained elsewhere
than from the ravigable waters.
According to custom it is not
proposed to hold a public hearing
on this application. Anyone, how
ever, desiring to submit a protest
based on the proposition that the
work would unreasonably interfere
with public navigation, or would
unfavorably affect the navigable

The World Today
BY JAMES MARROW

WASHINGTON Up - Gen. Eisen-
hover or Gov. Stevenson will be
at the mercy of the next Congress.
Fulfillment of their C a m p a i G n
promises depends in large measure
on the kind of Congress elected.
But, as usual every four years,
main interest is in the presidential
and vice presidential races. Candi-
dates for Senate and House of Rep
resentatives get attention but are
overShadowed by the big show.
The Congress that takes over in
1853 can suit itself about voting
money or passing laws for the pro-
grams the new President recon.
mends, no matter what he has
promised in the campaign.
If the new President wins in a
landslide, he'll probably carry with
him a good working majority of his
own party in both houses.
More likely, if the election is
close, he'll find himself dealing
with Congress where the margin
of difference between the two par.
ties is narrow.
Unless there is a landslide which
would upset all predictions, the
Democrats are expected to keep
majority control of the Senate even
if Eisenhower wins the presidency.
Truman had continuing prob
lem in working with a Congress
where his own Democrats held con-
troll by narrow majority. If some
of his own party turned their backs
on his proposal in the Senate, for
instance, he was sunk unless some
Republicans switched over.
Stevenson would have the same
problem with a slim congressional
majority of Democrats. So would
Eisenhower if the Republicans took
over both houses by only a narrow
margin.

Are you planning to do some
painting in your home? II so, make
1 1t easier for yourself by knowing
how to choose a good paintbrush.
First, look at the bristles- they
are the most important part of q
brush. It is the bristles, also,
which account for the fact that
one four-inch brush may cost less
than one dollar and another cost
over twenty dollars.
Know what kind of bristles you
are buying. For house painting,
hog bristles are usually best. They
have the desirable flexibility and
carry paint well. When a brush
is cheapened, horse hairs or grass
eS may be mixed with the hog
The Key West citizen., 1952-11-01

bristles. In top quality brushes, the
plug is apt to be one-tenth the size
of the whole brush base. In poor
brushes, the plug is apt to be one
half the size of the brush base.
The length of the bristles is ini-
portant. The longer the bristless
the more pliable the brush. A
longer bristle means longer life
for the brush, as well as better
paint-holding capacities.
For smooth painting, bristles
should be tapered and short bris.
ties mixed with long ones. For
fine work buy a brush witt 3
rounded "chisel" tip. For large
outside walls, choose a large brush
with q square end.
