The Key West Players Summer
Workshop also presented "You
We're Perfectly Fine" by Dorothy
Parker. Gladys Jackson and Don
Pearson play the couple in this
realistic sketch of young mans
hangover and its. to him, horrible
aftermaths.
Gladys looking decorative in a
frilly blouse and white pedal push
ers Grapes herself on the couch
while she leads the blacked-out
young man through the grim re-
membrance of one escapade after
another that slipped his mind.
He remembers nothing, least Of
all the sweet nothings he whis-
pered to her in a marathon ride
through Central Park. Blithe and
gay that she has won his proposal
she brushes off all his apologies
at his drunkenness:
"You crazy idiot. AS if / could
ever let you 60 away now. Stop
talking like that. You were perfect
ly fine.''
'The pale young man looked aft
er her and shock his head long
and slowly. then dropped it in his
damp and trembling hands.
'Oh, DEAR" he said. "Oh. dear,
oh, dear, oh, dear"
The one acter of the evening
For Better Or Worse" by Susie
Smith Sinclair and directed by
Anna Clare Topmiller tells the
story of an overworked mountain
eer mother.
Sally West, the mother carries
the slim play in her work worn
hands. Jim Witherell. Jack Clarke,
Fred Schell. Betty Ladd. and Ger
trude Splaine are all fittingly
George Price characters.
Though the play drag a trifle it
had amusing moments and some
good mountaineer philosophy. The
mother feigns illness to win appre-
citation of her herculean labors
from her lazy sons. daughter-in-
law, and husband. Betty Laid is
properly indolent as the sons wife.
Jack Clarke contributes his usual
professional performance. Ger
trude Splaine is bent and creaking
as Aunt Dicey. a granny woman. I"
The setting was particularly
good. Burt Garrett attended to all
the details even down o the huge
gray enamel coffee pot that sets
on the woodburning stove all day.
The jug from the Gittin's place the
local dispenser of corn whiskey is
also authentic. Sally Vests sun
print cotton coverall dress look
bonnet and Gertrude Splaine's old
right in the play. Stage manager
Don Pearson and Norman Street
lighting director should also be
mentioned.
Refreshments were served in the
Barn outdoor lobby between the
two Parker presentations and the
one acter. Curtain rises at $50.

DYING STATEMENT

CONTINUED From Page One)
Price and his wife. Price, who
was the brother-in-law of the
victim, is alleged to have beaten
Thomas about the head with q
flashliIht just prior to the shoot
ing and to have ordered Cotton
to shoot Thomas, when the man
had succeeded in disarming him.
DR.. Herman K. Moore, who
performed an autopsy on the
body Of the slain man, said that
although he found two "pene-
trating wounds, one in the neck
and another in the Groin Of the
dead man, he was unable to es-
tablish their cause. The wound
in the neck, -hich severed the
spinal cord could have caused
the death of Thomas, he said,
States Attorney J. Lancelot
Lester, than called upon his son,
DR.. J. Lancelot Lester, Jr., who
attended Smith at the Monroe
General Hospital, to establish
the exact cause of the death of
the man. Thomas, said Lester,
died as a result of bullet Wounds.
Two bullets that the Doctor re-
moved from his body were In
troduc- I as evidence. Both, as
well az three which were re-
covered unfired from Cotton,
were "dum-dIms" (The heads
had been flattened so that they
would cause more damage when
they struck.)
Charles Clinton, Marathon
tavern owner, who was an eye
witness to the shooting said that
Smith came up to him with q
gun in the palm of his hand and
said Call the law, Charley, I got
a gun a ! I'm not going to give
it up" Before he could take the
gun, Clinton said that he was
pushed aside by Cotton and two
bullets were fired at Thomas.
Benny Durkins, another eye
witness to the shooting, said that
Cotton and Thomas had an argu.
ment earlier in che day. Durkins
said that Thomas started to get q
gun but that Cotton pulled q pis-
toll and restrained him. He said
that although he was standing
but is feet away from Thomas
when he was shot that night he
knew nothing of a beating ad-
ministered by Price, as alleged
in the dead mans statement. He
said tlIat when he heard the
shots, he ran from the scene.
Later. it was brought out that
Cotton had confessed to the
crime to State Highway Patrol
man Slim Walker who took him
into custody. He Is said to h.. ye
denied 1t at first, but later con-
fessed.
Thomas made no attempt to
shoot Price while he was being
beaten, 1t was brought out.
Following is the text Of
Thomas deathbed statement:

THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION BILL BEFORE HOUSE

The third supplemental appro- priation bill for the 1852 fiscal year now before the House con tains $1,125,000 for the Alaska Housing Authority revolving fund.
 If allowed the money will pro vide the remainder of the $15 million authorized in the 81st Congress to provide additional housing in Alaska. To date $13,- 875,000 has been made available.
 Commitments of the sum al ready allowed total over SIP mil lion. The fund has been used for construction loans on 895 hous- ing units, secondary financing to complete an additional 258 units, and So-called character loans covering the construction or i'm prOVCmCnt of 597 native dwell lngS in remote areas of the Ter rltOrN.
 The program under the de fcnSc housing and defense com munity facilities throughout the country suffered a severe slash ing by the House Appropriations Committee. In September of last year Congress authorized the Lasic legislation calling for $50 million for defense housing and S60 million for defense commun- ity facilities. Of th SC authoriza- tions, appropriations to date have amounted to S25 million for the housing program and Sl512 million for community ia ciIities, all projects to be con structcd in so-callcd critical areas. To date some IA areas have been desig9atod, including Anchorage, Fairbanks and Kodi- ak. Of the S15I2 million for com munity facilities appropriated heretofore, S1L25o,o00 went to the Housing and Uor2e Finance Agency and $425O,000 to thc Federal Security Agency.

In the case of freezing feet, damp foot-gear must be re- moved, and if other gear is not available, wrap the feet in any thing which is dry.
 Frostbitten or frozen parts should never be rubbed or GOV cred with snow. Any rubbing either with snow or any other material may severely damage tissues which arc already dam aged Insofar as the application of snow is concerned, little re- flcction will show that if the air temperature of thirty-five below caused frostbite, the application of snow of the same temperature will merely extend the affected area.
 If the damage occurs in the open, and warm shelter is not available, fire, clothing, exercise and body heat from another per son are the only means for re lief.
 In warm shelter, the use of cool water will bring about a less painful return to normal than the use of warm water. There is some probability that warm water may cause damage; and not water will damage the tissues, because the lack of blood circulation will not djssi- pate the heat.

 Care of Self
 (G The possibility of frostbite, it's prevention and care, must ever be borne in mind. The eX tremitieS are most likely to be- come frost bitten, and if a person is alone, particular care should be exerted to prevent frost-bite.
 Under windy conditions, parts of the face may become frost bitten, inflicting considerable damage before a person becomes aware of the trouble. Usually there is no pain attached to sur face freezing. The freezing pro cess itself acts as an anosthetic to the damaged parts.
 Body heat is the best source of relief, when caught soon enough. Then extra body heat requirements may be obtained by exercise, better protection of the head, face and neck, and by the immediate direct application of body warmth, such as warm hands to the face or nose.
