The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1953-01-12

Happy first Of the week TO you
too! / sure hope it isn't a blu
Monday, and have you ever won
dered how the term started?
always used to think it was be
cause the good housewife had
big wash staring her in the face
but lately I've heard rumors tina
that isn't the reason for the tern
at all, and that it has something
to do with historical data. Well
! think a big wash even witt
automatic washers, dryers, ct al
is still a bad situation with al
those clothes to rassle.
Of course, the fact that the frs
iron made from hard coal was
made on this date in 1889 shoulc
help to brighten up your day con
siderably. And before the whole
thing gets out of hand anyhow
let's get on with the shopping!

There's a new movie out called
"Come Back. Little Sheba" and !:
a story of the play of the same
name. OF course you never see
the dog Sheba during the whole
play or movie, and there has been
some conjecture as TO what kind Of
a dog il is. Well now, if anyone
had asked me. it would have bern
so easy TO supply that information
because my dog Sheba was about
eight months old when that PLAY
first opened in New York. so il
must have been her that the play
was about. | am little perturbed
right now because Shirley Booth
who stars in the movie spoke oil
this TO Peter Briggs baCkStage and
an animal painter decided Sheba S
breed and did 4 portrait. Sheba
turned out to be an English sheep
dog, and my dog Sheha is SO
ashamed she won't come out from
under the porch any more, You
see Sheha is really a Belgian
Police.
