NOTHING FANCY ABOUT HER
Barbara Stanwyck Calls
Self Just a Career Girl
By Patricia Clary
Hollywood (U.R) Barbara Stanwyck is a "star" to Hollywood
and the rest of the movie-going world, but to herself she's just "a
working woman."
''"I'm not the fancy type," she
woman. Instead of following a job
librarian or
newspaper wo
man, I earn mv
living acting."
She's glad it's
a successful liv
ing, but she
doesn't consider
it anything for
people to get(&
excitca nuoui.

of myself as a
'star,' she said. "That's loo frou
frou tor me. It sounds impress
ive, but if you're a 'star,' you're
apt to take yourself too serious
ly." Miss Stanwyck, whose current
job is with John Lund in Para
mount's "The Lie," says she long
ago decided that she'd always
be a "job holder."
"Of course, I iioped for the
best of everything and all the
success I could get," she said.
"But I hope I never overlook the
fundamentals of holding n job.

said. "Basically I'm just a career
as a model, salesgirl, secretary,
or I can kiss everything else a
fast goodbye."
The fundamentals, she said
for holding a job as a star or a
secretary, are being on time, be
ing conscientious and doing
what you are told.
"I just hope to be practical
about the day s work," she said
' You make it tough for every
one else, as well as yourself, by
showing up on the job not ready
to do it."
Miss Stanwyck's co-workers
always speak of her prompt
ness, her careful memorizing of
her lines and her ability to take
direction.
"I simply try to work io the
best of my ability," she said. "I
believe that's the rule of sue
cceding at any job.
"It's as simple as that. If I
ever get to thinking of myself
as a 'star' well, that will be
bad. I might get ideas."

resist trying on fashionable ladies' apparel before the store

Pacific Mutual Used
Keen Judgment Here
Establishment of the super shopping center on North Capitol
street by Pacific Mutual Life Insurance company, of which the
big Sears unit was the first to be announced, was well-advised by
all interested parties.
Pacific Mutual sifted the whole Pacific coast, and decided Salem
was the best place for the center
The people of Salem, their
city council and zoning officers
pondered long and carefully,
and decided the project was
highly desirable.
The business firms locating
there, most of them nationally
known, decided they could
swing in with Pacific Mutual
with assured success. They had
been looking toward Salem any
way, and Pacific Mutual gave
them their opportunity.
Thomas L. Lowe, manager of
the real estate division of Pa
cific Mutual, had this to say of
Salem:
Pacific Mutual has allied it
self through the past 80 years
with the development of the
west.
"It is our strong conviction
that the state of Oregon, since
The opening of
Sears-Roebuck and Company's
Capitol Shopping Center Store
is another step forward
in Salem's ever increasing significance
to the Pacific Northwest.
Capitol Shopping Center is a
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company
investment in Salem's future.
LIFE INSURANCE CO. - Home Office, Los
the war, has embarked upon a
period of substantial expansion.
Salem, as capital of the state
and the second largest city in
business volume, should direct
ly profit from this expansion.
"Considering Salem's popu
lation and growth of its trade
territory, our investigation con
vinced us that the town itself
lacked adequate retail stores.
Several major national merchan
dising organizations agreed with
our findings.
"Further examination of the
town convinced us even more
of your need for off-street park
ing and modern air-conditioned
retail store buildings.
"An analysis of population,
highways, and major traffic ar
teries pointed to Capitol and
Center as the focal of the city.
Because of the adjacency of this
area to the capitol building! we
decided to erect a shoppin g cen-
ter of beauty and dignity, at
well as stressing functional con
venience. Upon our completion
of the Capitol Shopping Center
we are sure it will be a develop
ment that Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance company, the town of
Salem, and the state of Oregon
will be proud of.
"Pacific Mutual Life is a life
insurance company in its 81st
year of operation. Our slogan
for the year is '80 years of lead
ership in the west.' and we be
lieve that our Capitol Shopping
Center development illustrates
one means of leadership in the
development of the western
area."
