Vets Cheer Bathing Suit With Skirt of* Organdy

By PA T W H ITEThe other day the N ew York Dress Institute, together w ith thc

Am erican W om en’s Volunteer Services, put on a fashion show lo r wounded veterans and ‘ other servicemen, M aggl McNeills and Leonora Corbett w ere mistresses o l ceremony and the boys were given a treat o f “ things to come” lo r us j*als. They cheered and clapped—and once ln a while gave out a he-man “ boo." But they really applaunded when a dream o l a bathing suit was shown.

It was made ot white pique and had an or* gandy oversk irt ’Course you know I ’m just pass­ing this tip along, because i l your mind runs ln the same wave length as mine, you w ill be men­tally view ing last summer’s bathing suits w ith the

thought in mind as to just what a little organdy overskirt w ill do lo r it. Don't forget to put hooks on it sn you can remove lt when you go in the water. < ■ —

Get Started Now Remember “ if w in ter comes—

can spring be fa r behind?” and then comes summer. So get out the needle and thread and start whipping up some ideas fo r that summer vacation that seems so fa r away now. W ho knows, maybe your fa iry godmother w ill invite you to Florida!

One o f m y male readers who wishes to remain anonymous is having the jitters over what to do about handshaking. H e says that some people seem to want to shake hands and others choose to ignore it. H e has been em­barrassed no end “ by having his hand up when it should be down and down when it should be up,” as he so aptly puts it.

I know just how he feels. One o f the first rules o f good man­ners, I think, is that anyone who makes the gesture o f a hand­shake should not be ignored. And please, oh you fellers, learn how

to g ive a good, hearty handshake. N ot one o f those limp droopy kind that makes you seem like a “ sadsack.”

N ow as fo r when to shake hands. Tw o men meeting lo r the first time usually shake hands. Girls don’ t usually do so, although it is correct. You don’t usually shake hands at parting, but there isn’t any fixed rule. A person’s personality must be taken into consideration. I f you like people and are naturally cordial, you probably w ill shake hands more often than the reserved person. W hen a g ir l and boy meet, the g ir l m ay shake hands i f she wishes to. The boy should wait until she extends he hand—but girls, i f he extends his hand first be a lady and return the courtesy. N u ff said?

Stardom is sweet to Yvonne De Carlo; she earned it the hard way.

From the day, as a schoolgirl in Vancouver, when she turned her pretty blue eyes hopefully toward Hollywood, most o f her waking hours have been devoted to be­coming a star. F irst there were

1 dancing and dramatic lessons north o f the border, then a 1200- m ile jaunt to the film capital. When the beguiling brunette couldn’t get before the cameras, she decided to charm the film biggies as a dancer in Hollywood niteries.

One result was a pocket-size role in “This Gun For Hire,” the picture that vaulted Alan Ladd to stardom. Years o f sim ilarly ob­scure roles followed until the shapely beauty got the chance to parlay her dancing and dramatic talents in “Salome, W here She Danced.” H er torrid performance as a swivel-hipped temptress tak­ing the Old W est by storm won her the recognition she had sought fo r so long.

Starring since in more or less exotic roles, Yvonne gets a change o f pace in Paramount’s “Silver City,” to show Sunday and Mon­day at the Palace theatre. In this Technicolor adventure drama, she stars opposite Edmond O’Brien as a pistol-toting spitfire caught up in a desperate struggle fo r silver.

A B IT C H ILLYAlthough the temperature.was

in the 80’s, Linda Darnell suf­fered a couple o f frostbitten toes during the film ing o f Twentieth Century-Fox’s “The Guy W ho Came Back,” the comedy-drama at the Palace theatre Tuesday.

Linda was playing scenes w ith Paul Douglas in a blinding snow­storm. The company had rented every snow machine in H olly­wood and was pouring 10 tons an hour on W rig ley F ield fo r football sequences.

D irector Joe Newman thought playing football kept him warm, but Linda and Joan Bennett just vratched. Before Linda realized it, her toes were numb.

ever constructed fo r a movie was painstakingly erected on the Para­mount lot fo r “The Lemon Drop

I Kid,” Bob Hope’s new comedy which is based on a famous Da mon Runyon tale.

The film , to show next W ed­nesday and Thursday at the Pal ace theatre, stars Bob Hope in the title role o f a lemon-drop-eating conniver w h o takes over an abandoned gambling casino and sets up a bogus home fo r old ladies so that he can solicit funds.

But this is no ordinary casino. A t the flick o f a switch, the dice tables roll across the floor on a ♦rack and disappear behind the hinged fireplace; sections o f wadi rotate and neatly conceal the card

I tables; and the roulette wheel ma­gically slides out the French doors and disappears into the garden.

Construction o f this set in­volved more than a month and many thousands o f dollars. But lt was money well Invested, fo r the set is responsible' fo r several o l the funniest sequences ln the picture.

O.K. by HerBy Richard H. Wilkinson

T HE MAN who bad rented Freda the outboard motor told her that

any fool could run one of tbe things. However, right now, drifting ln tbe wrong direction ln the middle ot

. M i r r o r lake, with th e *un beating down un­mercifully, s h e would have giv­en a good deal

to have the man’s neck between her two hands. Just for luck she gave the crank one more spin. The meter went “ chugurg, cbugurg"— and died.

"Damn!" exclaimed Freda. She was so furious she could have cried. Instead she stood up and began to wave wildly at a boat that bad sud­denly appeared around an Island point The boat kept serenely on Its course and Freda was about to give up yelling and abandon herself to fate when the other craft swerved and headed in her direction.

Two minutes later a black-haired youth was grinning up at her pleasantly. "Trouble?" he asked.

••There's not a thing wrong with this motor," said Freda, “ except that lt won’t run."

The young man climbed aboard. He had a wrench in his hand. *TU fix It," he said.

P E R S O N A L S

Freda told Len- Curtain her name without even stopping to think. *

Freda thought he was pretty confident, but a moment later she changed her mind.

“ Strainer got clogged." he said. “ I ’m an expert on outboards. My business is retrievin’ ’ em.”

“ Retrieving them?""Sure. Plenty of motors lost

ln this lake every year. I in­vented a special magnet to find 'em, then I grapple for ’em, haul ’em up, repair 'em and sell ’em. My name’s Len Curtain. What’s yours?”"Freda Brandon," said Freda,

without even stopping to think."Freda Brandon, eh? You’re the

girl who’s going to marry Ray Hubbard. Well, they say money will do anything; but deliver me. Well, so long."

Freda didn't, catch her breath until ahe got back to camp. Her mother had news.

"Darling! Ray wired he’s com­ing upl He’s arriving tomorrow."

Freda's spirits sank. “ Goody, goody," she said sourly.

Freda set off in the outboard the next morning 10 minutes before Ray was due to arrive. Thirty min­utes later she saw a familiar look' ing boat anchored in a cove and camp up alongside.

“ H i!" grinned Len Curtain "How’s things?"

“ Fine. Say, look, what do you do ln the winter?”

“ Oh, this and that.” Len hauled in his grappling iron. “ False alarm. Nothing here. How about anchoring that scow and taking a ride, around with me?"

Ray Hubbard was waiting on the dock when she got back. He didn’t like the idea of her not being at camp to greet him, but she didn’t care.

*T>HE DAY' after Ray departed A Len Curtain came into the dock and Freda went down to see what he wanted.

"It ’ s a funny thing, but I ’m ln love. Will you marry me?”

Freda almost fell Into the water. "Goodness! I’m going to marry Ray.”

"Pshaw! You' don’t love him Marry me and we’ll have fun."

Fred* caught herself won­dering U that wouldn’t be a good Idea. 8ki las t bed, sound­ing like' a free with a sore throat."Marry you and fish for out­

boards all summer—and do what ln the winter?"

Ray grinned. ‘There’s ho fishing In the-winter. We’d get along. I ’ve Just sold my grappling .magnet In­vention to the Sea Demon outboard people. That's only the beginning of the things I can invent"

Freda blinked. Good heavens, was he go in g to be as startling j s that all bis Ufe. " I ’ ll have to think it" over."

“ Give you five minutes. Hop In and we’ ll ride around in the mean­time."

Freda heard ot people being hyp­notized, and she guessed that was what was wrong with her. She hopped ln and they rode around. When five minutes was up Len Curtain kissed her and she kissed him back and that settled tha whole business.

T h e T h ree -F o ld A t ta c k on P o lioM o n ey g iven to the 1952 M arch o f D im es

now underway supports the figh t against polio

in the hospital ward, in thc professional train­

ing classroom and in the research laboratory.In thc d iversity o f this attack against the

on ly epidem ic disease still on thc increase in Am erica, thc N ationa l Foundation fo r In fan ­

tile Para lysis is unique in the voluntary health movement. —

T h c N ationa l Foundation, supported by the annual M arch o f Dimes, has mounted the most

massive peop le ’s attack on a single disease ever launched by a voluntary health agency. It is tlic on ly voluntary agency in thc country

which helps pay patient care bills on a national basis.

But maintaining its th ree-fo ld job o f patient carc, professional education and research has bccom c exceed ingly d ifficu lt fo r thc N a tion a l Foundation in the last four years. Each o f these years it has gone into debt trying to do the job.

Th is situation has been brought about by an upward surge o f polio that has seen more cases reported and more M arch o f D im es'

funds spent in the last four years than in the entire previous decade combined.

T h e 1952 M arch o f D im es w ill determ ine whether the N ationa l Foundation is to main­tain this total attack to thc end that polio and its crippling a fter-e ffects m ay be obliterated once and fo r all from the environment o f man.

N o aspect o f this attack m ay be neglected. Children and adults stricken w ith this crip­p ling disease must be provided w ith the best

available carc— there is no question about that; w e must live w ith polio until it is conquered.

But w e must get on w ith the business o f conquering it too. F o r in the final analysis the most important single thing w e can do is to

make patient care unnecessary; in other words,

w e must protect man from ever getting polio at all.

In thc fie ld o f research, M arch o f Dimes scientists have made giant, i f inconclusive, strides. T h e y haven ’ t found the answer yet, but they have im proved treatment and they have pieced together so many o f thc ingred­

ients to the final solution that researchers arc optim istic thc answer w ill bc found w ithin the not-too-distant future.

T h e re ’s no question about supporting re­search; it is obviously a must. So is pro fes­sional education, thc part o f the National

Foundation 's program that trains many o f thc people w’ho s ta ff the hospitals and man the research laboratories. M on ey and equipment arc not enough; skilled hands and trained minds arc necessary. W e cannot neglect pro­fessional education w ithout neglecting patient carc and research.

Increased incidence and increased costs have made this three-fo ld figh t d ifficu lt be­yond comprehension. T h e N ationa l Founda­tion and its thousands o f volunteers are not daunted b y the challenge, however; they know that w ith the help o f all Am ericans in the 1952 M arch o f D imes the figh t against polio w ill be sustained and carried through to 3 success­ful conclusion.

M a y b e M in k M ig h t O p e n th e A ir F ie ldR ea lly believe w e ’ve fin a lly figured out

something.W e sure w ant the M a r fa arm y air base re­

activated. W e ’ve been trying to get it. opened; A n d now w e believe w e ’v e figured out w hat's w rong w ith the w ay w e ’ve been going at

that problem.Folks here got together a lot o f arguments

about how good a base this is. how many hours o f sunshine there are fo r training, what hous­ing is available, what labor is available, and so on. W e ’ve had good men go to W a sh in g ­ton and other places to present those argu­ments to our du ly elected congressmen and to

-A ir Force officia ls.Y ou m ay w ell ask "W h a t ’s the matter w ith

that?" Theoretica lly nothing is the matter. T h e program seemed all right to us too, until w e began thinking it all over a fter it brought no results— at least so far.

Yessir, a fter w e read the da ily papers enough, w e began to realize just how old fashioned w e w ere being about this business'.

Because how are requests being answered in W ash ington? Accord ing to all w e read you have to know som ebody— a “ fixer.” L ike fo r instance the young fe llow w’hose w ife w ore mink on a stenographer’ s salary. L ike a guy

w ith a Dutch name w h o seemed to know all the big shots and never was in trouble though m ixed in a lot o f funny stu ff. L ik e maybe that fe llow w ith the G reek name w ho used

-" to be a bootblack back in Kansas C ity before he got in w ith that same Pendergrast political machine that elevated another member to the presidency.

Yeah , w e sent men to see Senator Lyndon

Johnson and Representative Ken Regan . W e sent in form ation— and on ly in form ation— to A ir Force generals w h o wanted nothing else.

But w e d idn ’t pay a single call on the fixers. W e d idn ’ t buy a single deep freeze o r figure out a single five percent deal.

A n d that’s probably w here w e missed our w a y in the new m aze o f W ash ington .

But here’s a new yea r coming, and a chance to try -aga in . So first le t’s get a letter— if it doesn ’t cost too much— from the present head o f the Pendergrast ring in Kansas C ity . Th en w e can select another em issary to W a sh in g ­ton. tuck that letter o f introduction into his pocket, g ive him orders fo r a couple o f deep freezers, hang a mink coat on each o f his arms, and send him off. w ith some feeling o f con fi­dence.

I f he can p lay the piano, so much the better.

H u n t i n g S e a s o n H u r t b y D r o u g h t

Austin, December 29 — Those Texas sportsmen discouraged by the 1951 hunting seasons were consoled by the executive secre tary o f the Game and Fish com mission.

He said that while “ the luck o f many hunters was- very bad because o f a game shortage, con­ditions are not so dark that they cannot be Improved by two or three good years o f weather.”

“Thc ravages o f the drought have been particularly severe for the deer nnd turkey,” said thc executive 'secretary. He pointed out that the deer toll from the drought w ill be accentuated by many mote winter deaths from starvation.

“ One bright spot on the hunt­ing horizon this year," he said, “ was t h e extraordinarily good quail hunting In the Panhandle. And this fine crop of birds w ill servo to stand as hope fo r the hunters since the Panhandle sit­uation shows thc difference pro­vided by favorable weather con­ditions.

“ W hile most o f the state has been blighted by the dry weather, the Panhandle has had more nor­mal moisture. This is reflected in the splendid quail crop.”

In the case o f w ild turkey which have deteriorated badly In the state, the executive secretary said

a change to more favorable weath- .e r "should find thc turkeys re­bounding quickly.”

H e relayed encouragment for the cluck hunters about advance water-fowl prospects, citing that Canadian nesting areas had good fall rains.

Holiday activity and cold windy weather confined work on most farms and ranches to necessarv feeding o f livestock and to odd jobs. H igh wind with accompany­ing dust storms in the northwest was again taking the already short supply o f surface moisture. Low temperatures early in thc week damaged some young oats in northern and northeastern counties. L ight rains in eastern and upper Coastal counties were helpful but most o f thc state still needed soaking rain.

Supplemental feeding was fur­ther increased to minimize shrink­age o f livestock not protected from the chilling wind o f the recurring cold fronts. Dry range and pasture grass supplies con­tinued to dwindle over much of the state. A long the Coast and in some eastern counties small grains, w inter grass and legumes were making fa ir development.

Mrs. D. C. Moore nnd son re-' turned the first o f the week from holiday visits In Carlsbad, N . M. anil Fort Hancock.

Mr. and Mrs. K. I. Bledsoe re­turned Wednesday morning a fter a two week’s trip to Georgia amh Florida. They visited w ith their son and daughter In law, Lt. and Mrs. Robert C. Bledsoe at McDlll A ir Force base In Tampa, Fla. and from there went to Albany, Ga. fo r a short visit w ith friends and on to Carrollton, Ga. where they were guests o f Mr, Bledsoe’s mother, sister and brothers. Lt. and Mrs. Bledsoe left Tampa a f­ter the Marfans’ visit there and have gone to Lt. Bledsoe’s new station at St. Charles, La.
