N. Y. t$3l
The writer was born in Austria
Liza, lived in the West Indies and
now lives in Florida. She has an
active sense Of adventure and
uses it in this story Of a French
family who live in q fictitious
West Indies spot called Home Is
land. Obviously, she has aimed
at the movie market.
The story Is about the Chris
topic family who support the Is
landerS. When their boat used
for trading disappears and the
old head of the family dies, the
burden of caring for all the
people and their own kin, falls
on two very polite descendants,
Henri and Joseph whose brother
vanished with The boats leaving
| an attractive widow and q lot
of financial trouble.
The brothers, who were in the
Pacific, returned after two years
to pick up the cold trail of the
missing ship. Aunt Caroline, q
crusty old lady who reads mys-
terry novels and is shoekingly ad-
dicted to the slang she picks up
from them, is quite character.
She chops off her white locks to
help raise money for a launch
and the brothers set off on the
search.
Also in the hunt is the faithful
black giant, Tobias, whose son
was also lost, presumably in a
hurricane. The scene shifts from
the French Caribbean to Isle OF
Palms, and includes Tampa, Mia.

From NOrthIand

Mrs. Nelly B. Miner has just
returned to St. Petersburg after
her second visit TO Key West. She
enjoyed Key West so much last

drive down from Connecticut
and join her in a visit to the
southernmost city this year.

lighted with the hibiscus and

the connecting patio runway.
Teachers at Poinciana were the
gracious hostesses.
Several interesting items are
noted in the auditorium decor.
The colors are beige, green and
gray to blend with the gray
drapeSs the gray and green floor,
the pale green venetian blinds
ana the mottled golden beige
plastic curtains which fold into
the walls and can be adjusted to
form separate divisions between
the main floor section of the aud
itorium and the portion used as
lunch or meeting room.
The kitchen has a deep freezer.
stainless steel fixtures, efficient
arrangement Of facilities.
Across the hall, the principals
office is adjacent to a waiting room
with large full view windows which
look across to similar windows in
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. A CEN
trali1ed loud speaker spstem, mas
ter clock, and radio set, is in the
principals office. Brown, olive
green and Subdued Orange-coral
are used in the color scheme. The
office furniture is comfortable and
modern, but simple.
Drinking fountains throughout the
halls have special step platforms
so that very little children can
easily reach the water. Accommo-
dationS for small fry also received
special attention in the first grade
rooms where the children have
little tables and chairs, their own
to scale (pygmy size) sink, foun-
tain and adjacent restroom. The
colors of soothing pink, sea green,
blue and gray shades in the tile
floor and bright red doors are
utilized. The Room with the Red

corners to avoid being "lost."
Throughout the new classrooms,
indirect lighting, large spacious
windows and good pleasant color
schemes of Oliye.green, canary
yellow, fawn, notes or orange or
coral, add to the bright but taste
full decor. The green blackboards
are excellent for the eyes. Another
feature is the establishment Of the
modern 1920 angle adjustable
desks and the correct posture
seats.
Cross ventilation is also one of
the features. Shutters at floor
level allow air control. Glass door
ed two-way bulletin boards with
cork bases for notices face both
into classrooms andsinto the corri-
doris. s.
Airy halls done in staupe, sand
and deep coral are spacious. Rest.
rooms are finished in pastel tiles.
Terrazzo floors throughout are
part of the fireproof structure.
Last. but certainly not least, is
the relaxation room for the staff,
equipped with mailboxes, roomy
lounge chairs and done in tones OF
coral. golden fawn, olive green and
brown.

Official inspection of the build
ings is set for April 8 when in
spectors and engineers from Mon

School trustees. the Monroe
County School Board, Horace

ty; representatives of the Ameri-

ing Of scripture by the Rev. J. L.
Ivey, witnessed the presentation
of beautiful flag from the Le-
gion and enjoyed the mixed
chorus led by Mrs. Carmen

ciana.
Principal Carey introduced the
guests and Superintendent O'Bry-
ant, who said he was pleased
and gratified with the schools
expansion.
In addressing the attentive
audience, Chaplain Laudenslager
said he intended to talk about the
people who were most important
in connection with the school. He
cited the many sacrifices which
teachers have to make in order
to see that their charges learn
to read and write and to make
adjustments in their young lives.
He pointed out the tremendous
importance Of this learning, say.
ing that there are two and a half
million illiterateS in this country
and that those who can't read or
write become the victims OF pro-
paganda. He also noted that
schools could deal with juvenile
delinquents by the right kind of
education and parental coopera-
ton.
In connection with the fight
against this problem and against
any inroad Of Communism, Chap
lain Laudenslager. a most force
full speaker. stated that the ten.
dency to leave God out of the
educational system and to give
the impression that man himself
is the center Of economic and
creative life was destructive. As
an indirect result. at least, 1--WE
have learned how to kill ourselves
but not how to live together" he
said.
After the program elestd, q re-
septien and tour Of the new addi-
ton followed. Cookies and punch
were served from cutglass bowls

for instance yesterday on Simon

trying to back his trailer into a
warehouse, and the cars were
lined up for blocks blowing their
horns like mad.
Well fhevins sakes! The guy
had job to do, even as you or

it was getting that trailer into the

drivers job didn't include leaning

Maybe this will clear up why one

Well neighbors, stop to think a
