Many Movie Actors Kill
Time With Outside Jobs
By VIRGINIA MACPHERSON
(United Prua Hollywood Corrtipondaat)
Hollywood W) There are, believe it or not, plenty of actors
in "Tinel-Town" who kill time between paychecks with out
aide iobs. Their press agents call 'em "hobbies." But honest
actors admit they help pay off
the mortgage on ine im'"i
nnnl
George Montgomery makes
furniture. Sonny Tufta grows
chickens and turkeys for a val
ley market. Johnnie Johnston
runs an uDholstering shop.
Others bolster the family
hudeet selling Insurance
real estate ... or stocks and
bonds. And George Reeves digs
cess pools. So help us, it's a
fact. It's also good pay. A little
hard on the muscles, maybe, but
Reeves says you get over that
after your fourth cr fifth hole.
"I'm not one of these four-figure-a-week
actors," h says.
"Don't get me wrong I'd like
to be. But I can live en what
I make if I work regularly.
"But when five months go by
nd no movie Job comes up you
begin to worry a little. Espe
cially if you have a wife to sup
port and a one-acre ahem
estate to pay for."
It so happens, It was that
"estate" in the San Fernando
valley that started the 33-year-old
movie villain off on what
turned out to be a profitable
sideline.
"Our plumbing backed up one
day." Reeves says. "So we call
the boys. They say wt need a
new cesa pool. We hire a big,
bear-like man named Frank to
dig It for $1.10. To cut ex
penses I talk him into hiring me
for an assistant. I help dig. He
knocks $20 off the bill.
That night we celebrate. We
celebrate until early In the!
morning. And at 6 a. m. here's
Frank banging on the door.
C'mon, keed,' he yellt. 'We
deeg.' So, not feeling too good,
I crawl out In the hot aun and
deeg. "
A few hours later. Reeves
says, and he's feeling great.
Frank has disappeared some
where but he goes on digging
happily. And by dinnertime he's
16 feet down.
"That's all there was to It,"
ha added. "Next day Frank
lined It with brlrks and handed
me a bill for 1130. It was two
days before I did a double-take
nd discovered I'd paid him for
, a cess pool I dug myself."
A week later the neighbors
needed one. Reeves offered to
dig It for $100 ("was Frank
burned when I underbid him!")
and got the job. Things were
still dull at the studios when
another house needed one a
month later, ao Reeves dug that
one. too.
Now he's in business. Every
new neighbor hears about
George and his digging talents.
George sees to that. A day and
half with a shovel and he's
$100 richer.
He's also gelling to look like
"larzan" In the muscle depart
ment. Which Is bringing him
bigger and villain Jobs.

Lower Retail Meat
Prices Expected
Portland, June 21 W Lower
retail meat prices are predicted
for Portland by the end of the
week as the result of a price
slump on the North Portland
livestock market.

three years was blamed yester
day for the break in which pri
ces went down as much as $3 a
hundred pounds.

most. Good feed steers were $1 to
$2 lower. The run totaled 3330
cattle, and came when some
slaughter houses already were

Chief's Plan
Gels Approval
Under a new set of parking
regulations drawn up for the
courthouse square at a confer
ence of city and county officials
Monday afternoon recommenda
tions of Fire Chief W. P. Roble
were followed to eliminate haz
ards in case of fire and gave
free access to the building.
Under the plan all parking in
side the square will be elimin
ated between 6:30 p.m. and 7
a.m. Two spaces will be left
open at all timea directly oppo
site the driveway entrances on
the north and south sides of the
building to permit access of fire
equipment. Parallel curb park
ing will be done away with in
the driveways.
The sheriff will be charged
with enforcement of the plan'
and an order will be drawn by
District Attorney Ed Stadter
covering the ideas advanced.
Regulations will become effec
tive in mid-July along with a
new law allowing the county
court to enforce such regula
tions.
Some discussion was had at
the meeting as to probable re
gulations when a new court
house becomes a reality and
Chief Roble suggested that park
ing then should all be handled
at some point away from the
structure.

WHEN the talk turns to cars end
car engines these days, that'i
a topic you hear much about.
So it's fairly interesting to note that,
even back before the war, Buick
engines like this one were touring
the testing grounds with compres
sions as high is 10 to 1.
Even liter than that this time big
Buick power plant has been filling
our engineers' notebooks with data
on 8 to 1 compression ritioi.
a jr1 I tVawfar WbaV

rhat his come out of this? Two
or three interesting points.
First of all, that this big Buick
Fireball valve-in-head straight-eight
already has a compression ratio that
rn k NCrVDT I. MTIO
gets as much out of present fuels as
any engine on the market.
Next, that these ratios can readily
be stepped up to fit higher octane
gasolines as they become available.
And probably most important of
all, that high compression is only
one measurement of a good engine.
There's the fundamental matter of
engine efficiency power output per
cubic inch of displacement, engineers
call it. On that score, Buick stands
where it always has just about tops
in its field I
hich means, in very simple
words better go see for yourself.
The fun you get from your car the
pleasure and satisfaction it gives you
are best measured in juat one
place behind the wheel.
So we invite you to see your Buick
dealer for a firsthand test of Buick.
Tike it in your own two hands and
find out how good it feels, how full
of get-up-and-go.
It won't take long to make it pretty
clear that the place to get your
order in is the place where you get
Buick power.
