New Fiber
Gives Plus

What makes our pictured
raincoats different from most is
that they are made Of chrom-
spun taffeta. This means that
their color is assured through
many a rain and also that the
raincoats possess still many
other endeafing features.
ChromSpun is one of the new
fibers spun from colored solu-
tions of cellulose acetate. To
many women this means very
little. To break it down a bit
for Qualification chromspun flbers
are so spun that they are strands
of color through and through.
That's why swim fashions and
other apparel made up of the
acetate fiber are referred to as
having their color locked in"
Chromspun may be woven in
textures which are smooth or
rough. sheer or Opaque. crisp or
soft The color fast qualities

never before been achieved by
any other type of textile fiber,
natural or man-made. The true

The thing to remember with

CoIorfuI Ice Show Isn't
CoIorfuI Without Color
By Horry Macarthur

II there is any entertainment
which virtually demands full
color and a 36-inch screen on
television it is the big ice spec
tacle. .NBC-TV made this fairly
clear on Sunday night when it
televised the "Icecapades" from
Dallas as the weeks Comedy
Hour" attraction.
This was considerably less than
an unqualified success. It was
.nobody;s fault. either. The ice
extravaganza just takes in too
much territory. 1t loses it's ex-
citement when compressed into
the viewing area of picture
tube, large as those generally in
use today have become.
There were moments, of course,
when the show was close to
television size. The skating ver-
sion of Snow White" for in
stance. with Donna Atwood as
Snow White and skaters wear
ing Disney y-styled masks as the
seven dwarfs, had a great amount
of charm.
The solo by Miss Atwood which
followed was exciting to see, too.
When you are watching her in
action, at least, this girl is just
about the greatest thing you ever
saw on skates. The TV cameras
did quite well by Miss Atwood's
graceful sweeps and dizzy spins.
Those lavish production num-
bers, though, turned out to be
fiat and meaningless Their
principal ingredients are color
and large-scale movement. They
are fine splashes Of eye-appea1
in the arena. Squeezed onto a
televlsion screen, however, they
are lost and become pointless
little geometric patterns in black
and white.
Donna was wonderful, though.
INTERESTED PARTY - We

and the City Slickers this sum-
mer. There's nothing definite
about this. Spike did call from
his Beverly Hills home the other
night. though, and one of the
things he wanted to know was.
How did Betty do?"
The Betty. of course, was
Betty Hutton and Mr.. Jones was
rejecting the interest of all Of
show business in her two-a-d day
experiment at the Capitol Thea
ter. Spike has two more televi-
sion shows in the current season,
then will take to the road again.

His call. of course, was not
merely to ask how Betty did. He
also wanted to advise that he is

he carefully refrained from call
ing it battle of music-for next
Saturday night at 8 on NBC-TV
(WNBW). His opponent will be
Perez 'Prado. a new Victor rec
ording sensation who seems to
do for the mambo what the City

The two will battle it out next
Saturday over "Secret Love-" the
Academy award winner. It was
suggested that the song may
never be the same again. "Well,
it won't be very quiet around
here" Mr.. Jones admitted.
He will be back on television
next season, Spike said. NBC has
given him "a swell crew to work
with" the ratings have been
pleasing and everybody. including
the all-important sponsor, seems
happy. He's not sure about the
time he will get next year, he
added, and he thinks he might

evening.

That saving has been in keeping with many Citizen

tories Of veterans who successfully
make the leap from military to
civilian life with the help Of CT Bill
benefits.
In Stephens, Arkansas, Floyd T.
Bryan, ex-navy veteran, obtained
a CT Business loan from q bank
so that he could buy q bank in q
small community where oil had
just been struck. Since that time,
Bryan's bank has made loans to
hundreds Of other veterans.
They're the best business on my
books" he says.
In Topeka, Kansas, Douglas X.
Counsellor, former Army Air Force
Corporal, used two CT Bill benefits
--on-the-jo training and 4 business
loan-to establish q successful auto
fabric business. After completing
his training, he decided to buy out
the firm in which he had trained.
He did 50 with $4,000 CT business
loan.
In New York City. an Army vet
eran, Floyd T. Gould, is now at
work at Brookhaven National Lab
oratories, performing vital basic
research in atomic energy.
Coming out of service in 1916,
Gould tried working in q laundry,
then selling soap from laundry to
laundry; then studying tipping 50
that he could try for a job as a
clerk; then television repair. None
of these was successful.
He came to the VA and applied
for vocational counseling, in prep
aration for enrolling in training
under the CT Bill. Counseling tests
and interviews revealed that Gould
was excellent college material;
furthermore, that he had natural
bent for science. So he entered
college. He won his Masters de-
gree and is about to acquire his
PhD, in atomic physics, with bril-
liant grades. Also, because Of his
scholastic record, he was able to
obtain the important research post
at Brookhaven.
VA said the ten.year-old CT Bill
has been a program for World War
II veterans only. Its achievements
belong entirely to Americas gener-
alton of World War II veterans
now averaging the middle -thirties,
with memories Of wartime years
growingsa little DINNER as each
year goes by.
A new CT Bill was enacted in
1852 for veterans on active duty
after June n, 1850, the date Of the
outbreak of hostilities in Korea.
This law, too. provides benefits
similar to those, which were con-
Ytained in the original CT Bill-edu-
cation and training, CT loans, un-
employment pay.
But it's too early to measure the
accomplishments of this new CT
Bill, VA said. More time must
elapse before its full impact on
veterans, and on the nation, can be
eyaluated.

to take sides with AL Miller re-
garding controversy over coming
ON Stock Island.
Mrs. Henning and these other
property owners are wrong. This
Rock" was very careful to state
that there were two sides to every
subject and--after offering Al
Miller's sida--it ended up with
the question: what do you readers
think?
Well. by gosh, we asked the
question and we got the answer
with both barrels!
II seems that the land in ques-
ton is located in the area near
the dog track and the drive-in
movie. Several people have
bought lots there for the specific
purpose Of building homes. They
aren't exactly wealthy and in or
der to achieve 4 place Of their
own, they are going to have to
depend upon a building mortgage.
Such a mortgage, I'm told, is i'm
possible to secure on q home
built in 4 business district-and
that is what the land would have
to be classified if Miller is per-
mitted to build his trailer park.
County Commissioners Explsins
County Commissioner Joe AL
len explained the problem from
the standpoint of government.
Miller" he says, "was told in
advance that he could not ignore
coming regulations. He chose to
do so and we were forced to stop
him"
Joe continued, MILLER won out
with the City of Key West by
paying 4 small fine for violation
Of the city building code on
Roosevelt Blvd. We're not about
to let that sort Of thing happen
in the county"
''This Rock of Ours" compli-
ments the County Fathers for
their adherence to the, law. It
hopes they will display this same
meticulous regard for the dignity
Of law amongst ALL Monroe
County landowners!

owners. Heaven knows, we need

and then when he is too old to

could have easily been used in
