THE Bend, Survey Made Of Etiquette For Elevators NEW YORK (UP) A dog may be a man s best friend, but fur his own sake and everybody else s, don t take him aboard business elavatur. So advises a survey (made by the Otis Elevator Co.) on the sub ject of elevator etiquette. Thou sands of elevator passengers were asked, "What can other passen gers do to make your ride pleas- anter and more prompt?" The tip on dors came up more often than you might think. The pattern of thinking was this: man steps on dogs paw, dog biles man, general confusion. Some other hints passed on by the passengers in the interest of happier elevatoring: On rainy days keep your wet raincoat or umbrella away from other people's clothes. Try to shake your umbrella out in the lobby. Very unpopular: water drip ping down a pants cuff or onto a woman s open-toed shoes. It's men first off an elevator provided the men are standing up front when the doors open. No need to make a path for women to come from the rear. The rule to keep in mind is: leave the car in the order in which you're stand ing. Don't gesture wildly in an ele vator even if it's about a big busi ness deal or the one that got away. Talking loudly also bothers fellow passengers. Elevator litterbugs drive port ers mad and make things messy underfoot. Toss those gum wrap pers and cigarette butts into a re ceptacle. Don't lug big packages Into passenger elevator. You could hurt others besides making it awk ward for everybody. Take the freight elevator. By all means face front. It's safer, you can watch for your floor better and get faster serv ice. To keep tempers down, don't el bow your way into a car that's already bulging. Far too many pass the building directory by and then delay serv ice by asking questions in the lob by or in the car. Holdrig up an elevator, with one 'foot in and one foot out, while talking to someone in the corri dor, is a sure way to alienate fel low passengers. Here's one that's popular with nobody reading your morning pa per or that memo from the "boss while riding the elevator. Passen gers have to dodge around you and you'll probably go right past your stop. Smoking on elevators can be a fire hazard, especially if you burn a hole in somebody's clothing. Besides the smoke annoys many people. And men, there's no need to re move your hat in a business eleva tor. Keeping it on not only saves space, it also saves the hat.

Composer Promotes Menial Health With Radio Jingle By DICK KLEIVEB MCA Stair Correspondent NEW YORK (NEA) Up at the top of most of the hit song charts hese days ther's a haunting item called "Unchained Melody." It was written by Alex North and Hy Zaret, and Zaret is pretty proud of his lyrics which start, "Oh, my love, my darling." But, at the moment, he's even SINGER (top) AND ZARET: A cantata in one minute. prouder of another set of lyrics. These go like so: Ring! Ring! Oh, ring the bell! Ring the bell for mental health! Ring! Ring 'lil all are well Ring the' bell tor mental health!" FREE DELIVERY Phnn 10A DUTCH BOY PAINTS BULLETIN Thursday, June, 23, 1955 That isn't on any hit song chart, or disc jockey show, or juke box. But you may liave heard it on radio, part of a mental health cam paign which is unique in its use of "singing commercial s." Zaret and Lou Singer wrote eight such numbers, which are being offered to any radio station by the Nation al Association for Mental Health and the Westinghouse Broadcast ing Co. Besides "Ring the bell for Mental Health," there are "Men tal Health Toast," "Facts and Fig ures," "How's Your Mental Health?" and four others, record ed by singing stars Bill ("Davy Crockett") Hayes, Eddy Arnold, Sally Sweet land, Betty- Johnson and The Toppers. For Zaret and Singer, this type of public service creation is noth ing new. Even though Zaret, c short, xrey-cut , ex-lawyer, has written such hi-ls as "Unchained, Bait" and Ii All Comes Back to Me Now," he prefers operating in the field of educational and public service song. In fact, 'Un chained" is the only pop song he' written in a, year. "Over the past ten years," he syas, "I've devoted perhaps 15 pe cent of my time to pop music. The rest 85 per cent to the other stuff." Which is unique in music, be cause this ''other stuff" isn't par ticularly money - making. Zaret syas he could make much more money operat ing solely in the June-Moon end of music. "But I honestly get more creative sat isfnetion, even at Macy's. Zaret more or less tumbled on the field that gives him his great est joy. His first taste was m the Army, where, with Frank Loesser, he wrote songs on order for the brass such items as the official songs for the Chaplains'. Corps and the Army Nurse Corps. Then, back in musical mufti, he was asked by a local New York radio station to whip up some one mimrte spots "about things like the Bill of Rights." "I'd just got out of the Army," he says, "and I was a little tired of flagwaing.jas well as beer and tomato sauce.

Mrs. Everett Van Matre was in stalled president recently, along with other new officers. They are Mrs. Sid Elliott vice - president, Mrs. Jake Smalley recording sec retary, Mrs. John Newton corre sponding secretary, treasurer Mrs. Gus Meyers and educational director Mrsr Harry Holechek, of Culver. But he took six weeks for researc the project; instead of the four songs requested, he and Singer1 worte VI. They were called "Little Songs on Big Subjects," and more than 200 U.S. radio stations Still 'play them. Their success started Zaret thinking." "I realized this was something historically Important in music," he says. "In one minute, we could present a complete song. It wasn't just a jingle, but a real 'little song I concluded that in one minute you coud do a complete cantata or almost any musical composi tion." And so Zaret and Singer set to work and produced Utile songs about other subjects lor example, one set for and about the UN and educational songs such as their current Columbia set, "Now We Know." Zaret also wrote a blues opera about VD for the gov ernment and more and more tend ed to concentrate on public ser vice music. "I think it's the coming thing," he says. "We can teach anything with music. TV and radio haven't scratched the surface yet. Imagin what could have been done with 'Davy Crockett.' " He sees a happy, educational time coming when schools will make more use of entertainment facilities TV, movies and, of course, music. "Kids watch TV at homo," he says, "and the school becomes tame fy comparison. School will have to compete, and the best way is to teach entertainingly." He thinks he and Singer have proven that a singing commer eial pan sell knowledge and ideas Marilyn Studies Long-Hair Approach in Acting Field By ELIZABETH TOOMEY Lnlted Prosit Stuff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP) A short- haired Marilyn Monroe fs studying the long-hair approach to acting now with a serious group of young Broadway odors and actresses. They're dedicated to the Stanis tawski teachings of realism and naturalness in acting. No phony gestures, stilted mannerisms or shallow posturing. Miss Monroe, as an observer, Is permitted to sit in on (he twice weekly sessions of the actors stu dio. Regular members, who have included Marlon Brando, Eva Mar ie Saint and Julie Harris, are picked after stiff auditions which eliminated all but 15 of more tlian 1000 applicants this year. At a typical studio meeting this week, which this reporter was per mitted to attend. Miss Monroe ar rived a few minutes late and quiet !y set up a folding chair for her self at the side of the five rows of seats filled with members and ob servers. She. wore a white silk pleated skirt, a low-cut black jersey blouse, no stockings and backless white pumps. Her hair was cut short and brushed back from her face. Serious Parts The first "scene" began on stage. Marilyn, who announced several months ago that she'd like to try a serious play like 'The Brothers Welfare Workers Meet in Bend A regional meeting of I he state and county welfare workers was held at the county courthouse Tues day. William P. Symthe, director of held services of the state commis sion of public welfare, was pres ent. Among others who attended the meeting were Charles F. Lar son, Jene Beach, Patricia Holm and Eva Stiel of the state welfare commission, and administrative and case workers from Des chutes, Crook, Jefferson, Harney, Lake, Klamath, Hood River, Gil liam and Wasco counties. The meeting was primarily about budget and administrative matters. The dollar value of U. S. farm exports was up 15 per cent in the first eight months of the current fiscal year, compared with a year earlier, On Your Nevly Remodeled Karamazov," slipped off her shoes in the dark and wriggled her bare toes as she watched. Two young men lay on dirty mattresses on the bare stage. There was no scenery. Faded blue velvet -nirtains covei-ed the brick wall at the back of the stage except for a soot-filmed window in the center opened for ventilation and showing another brick wall only inches away. The scenes that members take turns pei-forming are puzzling to the uninitiated. Usually they beg'n with long silences. The actors avoid ?asy "acting out' of the lines. They "xperiment with unconventional so lutions to ' their own acting prob lems and the problems of th scene. After each scene they explain the problems they tried to solve and the methods they used in preparing for the scene. Then the audience jives criticism or praise, and fi nally Lee Strasberg, the director who is in charge of each of the sessions, sums up the critical ap- Strasberg, Director Elia Kazan and Producer Cheryl Crawford run the studio, which is free for mem bers and observers, and judge fi nal auditions for members. They also jealously guard the profess ional status of the studio. They normally refuse to allow the at tendance of stars like Miss Mon roe to be publicized. Many Observers "We have 85 people on our list of observers, Strasberg explained. "Most of them are directors or playwrights. But when people have a certain status In movies or the theater and wish to observe, we allow them to come as a courtesy, Shelley Winters attended as an ob server." Marilyn talked intently for a few minutes to Miss Crawford at the end of the two-and -one-half-hour session, then joined a laughing, bantering group from the studio as they walked next door and crowded around a table at an in expensive Broadway restaurant "She is going to study for about a year before she tries a play,' Miss Crawford said. A huge cutout of Miss Monroe, skirt blowing high, was perched atop a dazzling movie marquee ad vertising "The Seven Year Itch" just across the street from the res taurant where she ate and half a block away from the studio. Nobody, including Marilyn, seemed to notice. We Are Proud The Contractors W.V.
