Junior WOmGn's Club HOnOrs
Mrs. AndreiV Miller At Supper

Members OF the Junior Woman's
Club paid tribute to Mrs. Andrew
Miller who organized the Junior
Department of the Key West Wo-
mans Club in 1926. Mrs. Miller
was guest of honor at a buffet sup
per held last night at the WOman's
Club.
The Junior president. Mrs. r. G..
Sawyer, introduced Mrs. Miller
who told the club members that
she and Mrs. William Warren had
attended a Florida Federation of
Women's Clubs convention in Jack
sonville, and had come home so
inspired by the Junior reports that
they were determined to organize
a Junior department in the local
club.
The first members of the Junior
Woman'S Club were high school
girls and daughters of members of
the senior club. In the years since
its founding, the Key West Junior
Club has been federated in its own
right and has made an outstanding
record in the Florida Federation.
Child welfare has always been

cords to elementary school music
libraries, to helping the Cerebral
Palsy Association, and providing
clothing for needy children.
With the help of the Woman's
Cub, they oganized the Junior
Debs, the first girls service club
at the local high school.
They also took an active part in
establishing the Key West Youth
Center for Jr. High School students.
This year the Juniors have taken
the Juvenile Home as their main
project, one which they hope to
continue as a sustaining project.
Other honored guests last night
were Mrs. Warren, who was presi-

Mrs. Joe DiMaggio continued her

Snow drifted down lightly on the
stage at her last two shows.
Officers estimated she has
played to about $4,000 soldiers in
her two days in Korea.
She arrived yesterday for a four
day front-line tour, taking time off
from a honeymoon in Japan, where
DiMaggio is coaching japanese
baseball teams.
Clad in soldiers uniform, but
wearing a tight, un-uniform black
sweater, she rode a rumbling Pat

This still is exciting" she
said. I'm from California and
don't get to see too much of it."
Then she changed to her low-cut
purple cocktail gown for her stage
show, and shivered to the
delight of 10000 troops ogling the
movement of her snugly fitting
dress.
She sang in a low, husky voice
that drew rounds of applause.
Marilyn had lunch with a score
of 40th Division men.
Cpl. Robert N. Burkhart of
Johnstown, Pa, held the place of
honor as the 160th Regiments SOL

the world is a big, beautiful show
window of lipstcks, bebop records,
shirts, skirts and dance dresses.
The present era also might be
known as the golden age of teens,
who, with their younger sisters
and brothers, now constitute one
of the country's most important
consumer groups. Since big bus
mess discovered the staggering
total of schoolchildren's spending,
these junior tycoons have been the
object of national advertising cam

This year American school

These figures represent only the

But any parent knows that the

Present Methods OF Teaching
Foreign Languages Called Bad
By OWEN ]. cRuMB

SYRACUSE, n. Y. u - Your
bright young son or daughter may
be a whiE at reading Goethe in
the original German. But when it
comes to speaking the language,
Its enough to make q Teuton'S
hair stand on end.
About half the nations college
students grinding away trying to
learn how to speak a foreign lam
guage are wasting time, says DR..
Albert ]. George, head of syria.
Icuse University's department Of
romance languages. But. he adds,
it's not their fault. It's the way
languages are taught.
Most can learn to read and
write a foreign language. DR..
George comedies, but grasping the
tricks of tongue twisting so a
Frenchman or German under
stands what they're saying is an
other matter. Present teaching
methods just don't do the job, he
says.
DR.. George, with DR.. Luis NJ.
IDi Carlo, executive director of the
university's hearing and speech
center, think they have a remedy.
They believe they have found a
way to predict, before time and
money is spent, whether a certain
student will be able to learn to
speak a foreign language fluently
and to understand the rapid-fire
Iphrases of a foreigner.
If their predictions are correct,
DR.. George says. new instruction
methods may make it possible for
any college student to learn to
read, write and speak fluently any
foreign language he desires.
The Idea was born this way:
DR.. George was given a group
of 40 foreign students, who could
read and write English, and asked
to teach them to speak it during
ia six-week orientation course last
summer. With DR.. Di Carlo, an
expert in remedial speech work,
he tested the students for sense
Iof rhythm and pitch variation,
ability to repeat sounds and re-
member them.
The students then were broken
up into two groups. One was taught
by the usual methods, the other
by one which stressed using their
abilities in rhythm and memory
Iof sounds.
At the end Of the test period,
those taught by the new method
