The balloting began yesterday

Voting will be carried on in
other locals later this week with

from that price cut but some
reduction of price on woolens,
shoes and other commodities
which Britain sends here, could
be expected.
At the same time, everything
that comes from England will
give American manufacturers
something to worry about.
The shoe and leather people
said the future for them was
uncertain; they didn't know
what to expect. The price of im
ported shoes may drop, and this
might drive down American
prices, too.
The American woolen indus
try, now reporting an upswing
in conditions, might also find
the going rough.
A well known British pipe
maker already has announced
reductions in U.S. prices. Alfred
Dunhill of London cut the prices
on its various models by $1.50
to $3 each. Tags on other smok
ing accessories were lowered ac
cordingly, the firm said.
Scotch whisky may cost a lit
tle less, but the man who buys
it by the drink probably won't
notice any difference, experts
said. A price drop of 20 to 50
cents a fifth at most may result,
since, a large part of the cost of
whisky includes U.S. taxes and
transportation charges, which
are not affected by the currency
devaluation.
Some Americans may benefit
in other directions. For exam
ple, Britain will have to pay
more, in pounds, for the food
and machinery which are so ne
cessary for her. Airlines with in
ternational operations to British
areas are likely to get increased
business. Tourist travel general
ly is expected to increase, be
cause travelers will get more
foreign money for their dollars.

ARTIST VARGA SPOTS ALLURE
Barbara Britton Praised
For Thighs That Sigh
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
Hollywood, Sept. 20 U.R Barbara Britton was as flattered as
any female would be when a famous artist told the world she
had "thighs that sigh" but she s been out on a limp ever since.
She'd be the last to deny Alberto Varga s discovery, La Brit
ton admitted, and she thinks it's nice to have gams that sigh
seductively . . . even though
she's not real sure what that
means.
But the rest of her doesn't
match.
Her blue eyes burn from read
ing the deluge of mail that flood
ed in after Varga s pronounce
ment. Her ears are buzzing witn
offers to endorse leg creams . . .
and stockings . . . and gosh knows
what all.
And her head aches from
shaking it in a firm "no" to
people who want her to be Miss
this-or-that of 1950.
her "Miss Hot Rod of the Na
tional Roadster show."
"I had at least 15 chances
from cosmetic firms to endorse
leg creams and beautifiers,"
Barbara says weakly. "Hosiery
manufacturers have been pester
ing me for weeks to put my name
on stockings that emphasize
thighs."
One citrus juice man was all
ready to slap her picture on cans
and launch a nation-wide ad
vertising campaign. A few sips,
he wanted to tell the ladies, and
they'd have a "Barbara Britton
glow" that'd have husbands,
lovers and boyfriends google-
eyed.
"But lots of my fans didn't
like it a bit," Barbara said. "I
got more than 5,000 letters tell
ing me they thought it was a
disgrace for me to dabble in
such mundane mush as sex. They
thought I ought to keep on be
ing ethereal."
Varga got caught in all the
whoop-de-do, too.
In picking Miss Britton as the
movie queen with the most beau
tiful thighs in the world, he hap
pened to mention she has "Var
gallure." And if you've ever
seen his calendar cuties, you
know Just what he was talking
about.
Next day he was getting wires
from all over the country. Peo
ple who make everything from
dresses to falsies to perfume
wanted to pay him fat royalties
for permission to guarantee
"Vargallure."
The black-eyed little painter
turned 'em down.
"A girl can have "Vargallure
he says. "But not a bottle .
or a rubber bosom ... or a dress,
It's what's in the dress.
"If it hasn't got what Miss
Britton's got and there aren't
many like her in this world
then it hasn't got 'Vargallure!' "
HARD OF HEARING

HERE IT IS!
One promoter even wanted to
capitalize on her thighs and make

wrapped in tarpaulins line the foredock of the scarred ship,

SILVACEL and
SILVAWOOL
IMPORTANT NEW PRODUCTS
OF IVeyJtatuU DEVELOPMENT
Silvacel and SlLVAWOOL are made from sound
Douglas Fir wood chips which are defibered, impreg
nated, fluffed, dried and especially graded and processed
to meet special needs. The result is a range of scientifi
cally designed fibrous materials, soft and wool-like,
manufactured to customer specifications. Supply
unlimited.
AMONO MAJOR USES FOR THESE PRODUCTS AREi
Sllvawool for Horn ond Building lnu-
lotlon-SILVAWOOL Is a remarkably efficient,
easily applied Insulation for homes, buildings.
Silvacel for Refrigeration Iniulation
characteriitics are to outstanding that Silvacel
type materials are becoming the standard for
all types of refrigeration.
Silvacel for Oil Wall Drllllng-Wh.n
gravelly or fractured formations art encount
ered In drilling, Silvacel Is used to form a
dense mat to coat the well sides. Major oil
companies now use Silvacel.
SILVACEL for Dieiel Filters and paperboards. Many other uses have)
reached the stage of thorough marketing trials,
TfWa Marti
DD ANOTHER LINK to the chain of more and
more practical uses for wood. In the long run
each link means more jobs, steadier payrolls, reason
able profits and stabilized communities. The big job
ahead is to market SILVACEL and SlLVAWOOL on
a scale big enough to make it pay and to justify tho
addition of producing plants to each of our millsites.
These new products help to show how the
company's basic policy works: First, each of our
millsites is supported by a tree farm where trees are
grown to supply an endless flow of logs. Second, we
"diversify" our manufacturing make a wide variety
of products to get the greatest use and dollar value
from every type and species of tree harvested. Third,
we group these different types of plants on one
millsite in order to save on administration, material
handling, power and other costs allowing our
products to compete in price on the free competitive
market. These steps, together with constant develop
ment of more products and sound marketing, mean
greater security for all.
