Girls Decline
Offer to Join
Marine Corps
ATLANTA (Pi - The United
States Marine Corps has invited
Gene Van Buskirk and Arden
Smith to enlist, hinting that
being a Marine is better than
being drafted.
But both girls, who recently
graduated from Atlanta's Henry
Grady High School declined with
thanks after receiving promotion
al material from the Marine Re
cruiters. Arden reported she was "sort
of shocked" when she saw the
envelopes marked "official bus
iness" but quickly "figured it was
just another case of my name
being mistaken for that of a
man." She said she once received
an offer for a free trial of an
electric razor.
Gene said she has received
many letters addressed "Mr.
Gene Van Buskirk," principally
from colleges.
The girls ordinarily don't
mind, but both said their con

Also hit were the "continuance
of fatal accidents and damage to

Beauty Shop
For Barbers
By JAMES BACON
HOLLYWOOD (JP)- Mara Cor
day prefers a barber shop to a
beauty salon any day. Curvy
Mara, one of the nation's top
photographer's models and pin
ups, says you can't relax in a
beauty parlor.
"Your most innocent remark,"
she moans, "is given alleycat
treatment."
What few beauty problems this
girl has, she solves at home, such
as fingernails, etc. For her hair
trimming and thinning and facial
massages, she hies to a regular
barber shop. She's getting ready
now to work in Martin and Lewis'
latest "Money from Home."
She contends that beauty par
lors aeai more in gossip man in
beauty.
"You always learn the entire
and lurid history of the woman
who preceded you under the hair
dryer. That's what cured me be
cause I knew the customer who
followed me learned mine."
She has done television drama
tic roles, usually as a femme
fatale, and has had some bit roles
in movies.
Does she find barbershop con
versation too; ribald?
"Quite to the contrary," she
answers, "the repartee is both
stimulating and provocative. It's
certainly on a much higher plane
than what can be heard in any
ladies' powder room."

Smoker's Life
l LONDON INS) An article
in the British Medical Journal
says non-smokers can expect to
live a little longer than smokers.
i Author of the article, P. G.
Moore, of the Department of
Statistics, University of London,
analyzed the death-rates among
smokers and non-smokers.
He conceded that the results
could not be; regarded as exact,
but he claimed they showed that
a moderate smoker aged 25 had a
reduction of about 2J2 per cent in
his expectation of life.
, For a heavy smoker, the figure
was 5.7.
; The expectation of life of a man
of 25 was 45.9 years if be were a
non-smoker. 44 if he smoked 15
25 cigarettes a day, and 4.2 if he
smoked 25-50.
STORM HAVEN
i PITTSBURGH (INS)-A steel
topped automobile is a safe ref
uge in a storm since the steel
body carries lightning to the
ground even though the bolt has
to leap across rubber tires. En
gineers have proved this by strik
ing automobiles with three mil
lion volts of man-made lightning
--while drivers sit safely at the
wheel. The only effect on the car
s a small pit mark in the paint
where the bolt strikes.

Hunt Wolves
SASKATOON, Can. (JP) - The
days of the wily timber wolf in
northern Saskatchewan are num
bered. Saskatchewan's control pro
grams in the last two winters
have sharply reduced the num
bers of the predator which an
nually destroys up to 50,000 cari
bou, deer, elk and moose in the
province.
Harold Read, northern game
supervisor, reported in Prince Al
bert that 229 adult wolves and
an estimated 650 unborn wolves
were killed in last winter's con
trol program, and about 400 in
the previous winter.,
Although auto traffic deaths
remain at peak levels, the kill
ing of pedestrians by cars in the
United States has been cut from
a peak of 15,500 in 1937 to 8,600
in 1952.
