GOES BACK TO WHEN HE WAS POOR
Forrest Tucker Admits Clothes
Are 'Fetish' to Beau Brummel
Hollywood, Calif., Oct. 24 U.B Adolph Menjou, who had what
looked like a life-time monopoly on Hollywood's "best dressed"
title, is being edged out by a six-foot he-man who wouldn't be
caught dead in a pair of spats.
But he DOES wear fringe on his shoes. And when he can't get
that, he settles for laces with
fancy tassels.
"Might as well," said Forrest
Tucker, the new "Beau Brum
mel" of the Sunset "Strip."
"What else can you do with a
12-D foot?"
This Tucker Is the dude who
started a flock of movie fellers
to wearin' "Bush Jackets." That,
In case you're strictly the
double-breasted type, is a short
sleeved coat you wear to hunt
wild game in Africa. Features
a wide belt and big pockets, or
something like that.
Mind you, Tucker's no fop.
(If you can overlook that fringe
on his feet.) He Just has one
of the biggest and expensive-est
wardrobes in town. Variety is
what he goes for.
"Sure, it's a fetish," he said.
"It started back when I wag in
high school. We were poor.
Mighty poor. My girl was the
prettiest babe in the class, but
she went to the big dance with
some meat-head. I didn't have
a suit.
"I swore then if I ever got in
the big dough I'd have a closet
full of swell clothes. The best
in town."
Tucker said he has outfits for
everything that goes on in or
out of Hollywood.
"I can go to a full-dress ball
or a skeet-shooting match," he
said, "without calling up my
tailor for so much as a collar
button."
Other actors soak their sur
plus dough in bonds or apart
ment houses or annuities to pro
tect 'em come the day girls don't
sigh over their profiles any
more.
Tucker buys clothes. Lots of
clothes. Says it's the best way
he knows of to save money.
"Suppose I'm out of a job
some day," he said. "I could be
dead broke and hungry, but I'll
look successful. And movie
producers like to hire people
Hollywood's First
Wounded Marine Dies
Hollywood, Oct. 24 (U.R) Ac
tor Craig Reynolds, 42, Holly
wood's first wounded marine,
died today of injuries suffered
Monday when his motor scoot
er collided with a motorcycle.
The accident occurred when
the motorcycle piloted by Rob
ert Earl Smith, 23, skidded into
Reynolds' scooter when its tires
caught in car tracks. Reynolds
died in French hospital.
Joining the marines in Octo
ber, 1940, Reynolds was wound
ed at Guadalcanal. He was re
moved to the San Diego, Cal.,
navy hospital. He rose to the
rank of lieutenant and served
in Iceland as well as the South
Pacific before his discharge in
1944.
who look like they don't need
job."
That's the way Tucker looks.
His suits, sports jackets, slacks,
and formal tails are custom-
made and the best he can afford
And Tucker's wa-a-ay out of the
two-pants-with-every-suit class.
Republic studios just upped him
to stardom.
But his money -saving gim
mick kind of backfired the other
day. His business manager told
him he couldn't afford to buy
house. Said he's splurged too
much on fancy duds.
And the bank president hasn't
been born who'll accept a "bush
jacket" as down payment on a
mortgage.

ment of appreciation for public

"We of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, Willamette aerie 2081
have just concluded our drive
for funds for the iron lung. Nev
er before, during the many years
of our existence in Salem have
we enjoyed such complete co

neighbor attitude as this has
brought forth.
"Tomorrow, if necessary, we
would gladly start all over on
such a worthy cause, and every
single member our aerie would
again serve, so complete is our
satisfaction.
Without the help of all or
ganized labor, business, indus
try, the press, the radio, frater
nal, civic and patriotic organiza
tions, as well as the public
this task might well have failed.
Each of you most certainly have
done your share, willingly and
graciously, and to you all we
wish to express not only our
thanks but those as well of the
community we serve. One sin
gle life saved shall be your re
ward and ours."

Bnx frkeman would be the first
to tell you he's no exception;
you'U find folks like him on every
Main Street in the country. Folks
who today are opening up "new fron
tiers" for themselves in the American
"do-it-yourself spirit. They're mak
ing their own energy and ideas add up
to a better life for themselves and
their families and for America!
An example of the strength of this
do-it-yourself spirit is all around youc
78 million Americans, wanting to take
care of their own on their own, are
providing for their wives and children
through life insurance. Their life in
surance serves another way, as well.
It indirectly makes opportunities for
more jobs, for better schools and high
ways ... for better living. These
opportunities come from life insurance
dollars invested in industry and gov
ernment, in homes and on farms.
Since life insurance does so much
for so many, more and more people
turn to it every year. While life in
surance must grow to meet their
needs, the business remains a personal
business, too. For each of the coun
try's 190,000 trained life insurance
agents gives his individual service to
the men and women in his community.
These Agents represent 584 individual
life insurance companies, each one
competing actively to help Americana
help Amuelvttl
It's a fact that the earnings on life
insurance assets are of direct financial
importance to every policyholder...
because:
The premiums you pay do not cover
all the coats of insuring you.
Income earned by the investment of
life insurance asset pays part of the
cost. Out of each dollar of total income
of all life insurance companies, about 80
now comes from premiums and about
20 from investment earnings.
If the rate of interest available on
prudent investment were higher, the
cost of life insurance to you could
be lower.
Life insurance is a tervice! Your agent Is
trained to help you use it most effec
tively. The Institute of Life Insurance
