Low Cut Gowns Win Support
From Movie Star Marie Wilson
By BOB THOMAS
Hollywood, Feb. 13 (Pi Of low-cut gowns need support, you
con count on Marie Wilson. She's all for 'em.
"You might call me a pioneer," remarked the unabashed blonde
from Anaheim. "I started wearing low-cut gowns years ago,
before they became the rage of Paris.
"They're a little drafty, but
I like them. And I think me
Zdenka Pospisil Tells About
America in Magazine Story
Six months living in the United States has convinced Zdenka
Pospisil, a Czechslovakian by birth, that she "likes it here very,
very much. I am even in love with America."
Confronted with "questions and wondering eyes" virtually every
place she goes, Mrs. Pospisil, a student at Willamette university
has compiled her reactions in an'
article appearing in the Febru
ary issue of "Advance", a maga
zine with nation-wide circula
tion.
As to her reactions after
reaching the United States last
July 29, Mrs. Pospisil says in
part in her article:
"The opportunity to see new
things, even if it Is wonderful
and exciting, is not yet a cause
for love for a country. I am
afraid I must say that I would
not exchange all these excel
lent experiences for one little
bit of my loved homeland. There
I know every mountain and hill
by its name; there the towns and
buildings are centuries old. In
my memory still today I can
walk in the streets of my native
city. I remember exactly how
the buildings look; one, well
known, dirty and gray, with pe
culiar windows and small spires;
another one with high gables
beautiful begonias used to be in
its windows. My school building
and the old Gothic Cathedral I
attended are witnesses of the
happy and sorrowful days of my
life following in an unbroken
series.
men do, too. They're the ones
we dress to please."
Marie's main trouble is with
censors. This pains her deeply.
She reported her latest tussle.
In "My Friend Irma Goes West"
he wears a deep-cut gown. The
censors want her to add a lace
dickey. She's also supposed to
wear a bathing suit. Not a
French bathing suit, but a real
honest - to - goodness American
one. But for Marie, the censor
wants some lace added to the
top of the suit.
"My goodness," she remark
ed, "how can you add anything
to a standard bathing suit? It
should cover the whole situation.
"I don't want to star in French
postcards or anything like that,
she added. "I just want to add
a little life to the American post
cards."
I mentioned that some stars,
such as Ava Gardner, Lauren
Bacall and even Alan Ladd
were refusing to pose for cheese
cake. Would Marie join the
strike?
"Are you kidding?" was her
answer.
I explained that Ava is nixing
leg art because she did little else
for seven years and now wants
to be known as an actress.
"Perhaps so," said Marie, "but
she got where she is today by
posing for cheesecake and thus
keeping in the public eye.
"I think all of us strive to be
actresses. But we have another
responsibility besides our 'art,
That is to sell our movies.
CHEESECAKE is one of
ways to do that.
Sheridan High
Work Started
Sheridan Preliminary con
struction of Sheridan's new $94,-
000 grade school building in
southwest Sheridan got under
way this week. The firm con
structing the building estimates
the job will require five to six
months, depending on the weath
er. Contract calls for completion
before September 1,
Constructing the new school
building is the Foothills Con
struction company of Estacada.
Originally the contract was let
to the Estacada firm for $112,
000. The district did not have
the funds to spend that amount
of the building, and alterations
and changes were made to scale
the structure down to $94,030.
About 20 men will be employed
by the firm, with additional
crews for the plumbing and elec
trical work.
Approximately a year ago the
voters of the district approved
the bond issue necessary to con
struct the building. Additional
facilities are necessary to handle
a greatly increased grade school
enrollment. The property on
which the new building is being
constructed is outside the city
limits and the city council vot
ed this week to have a special
election to vote the area into
the city limits.
"I am fascinated by the sin
cere expressions I see every
where in this country. I have
not met for a long, long time
any sincere person. Sometimes
it seems to me that my new
American friends decided to
make good by their friendliness
and heartiness all the painful
time I have passed in Europe,
When I meet them and they say:
'We are happy to have you here,'
or 'We enjoy your coming very
much,' I can read in their eyes
that it is not just social idiom,
but that they feel it, too. Their
faces smile and their eyes spar
kle. I might say, that I can
read in human eyes excellently,
because when one does not speak
the language very well, he al
ways tries to find understand
ing in the eyes of the listeners.
I have had to practice this a
good deal.
"I do not know whether you
really understand my mediation
in the sincerity of the American
people. But let me tell you a
short example from the many
experiences I have had. It is
just a plain, simple incident,
"I went to the post office to
mail a letter. I had not yet
written the address, and at that
moment I could not remember
how to spell Forest Grove. Is,
it Grove or Grouve? What
should I do? Should I ask the
clerk or not?
'Be courageous and go a-
head!' I said to myself and ap
proached the desk. You can
hardly imagine my surprise
when the clerk, smiling, helped
me. He even showed me one
more mistake that I made in the
address. I had forgotten to in
dicate the state in which the
town belongs. 'I will show you
something' he said, 'just for fun!
Look how many Forest Groves
are in the U.S.A. Whenever
you write, do not forget to in
dicate the state.' He brought
a big book and found Forest
Grove. Really, I could see how
many were there. This all just
for fun! I was mute with surprise.
"In this simple incident in the
post office are embodied all my
experiences with American peo
ple. All of you I have met,
and I know, you are all happy,
gay, sincere and goodhearted.
But Europeans they are now so
different. I do not wish to say
they are not good. No! I do be
long also to them! But our
hearts are hidden under a thick,
iced shell, a shell of knowing
the bitterness and human injus
tice in life. We have all forgot
ten how to smile carelessly. Per
haps it is that we have seen too
much. We saw the mothers
weeping at the gates of prisons;
policemen escorting the fathers
of families. We saw destroyed
cities and terrified faces of chil
dren. "Here in all these circum
stances is now the reason why
I like the American people so
much. Their lives, their sin
cerity and friendliness have not
been yet poisoned by any per
verted ideas, by any surging
violence. In your faces, my new
American friends and school
fellows, I do not realize any bit
terness coming from past experi
ences, which I would find al
ways in Europe. Your sincerely
sparkling eyes, your helpfully
open arms, and your warm lov
ing hearts help me to forget and
overthrow all I have seen, and
all I have lived. In the midst
of you I may learn again to be
happy and gay."

Linn Assured
Cash for Roads
Albany Linn county's road
funds were out of the red, with
overdrafts amply covered by re
ceipt of $159,385.99 from the
office of Secretary of State Earl
Newbry in payment of the coun
ty's share of 1949 forest service
revenues. Of this amcunt $119,
539.49 is available for road work
Members of the court said
that while forest funds had been
included in estimated receipts
and were therefore anticipated,
arrival of this voucher sets at
rest all fear that it might be
necessary to exceed road bud
gets in order to repair and main
tain the county's roads for the
remainder of the fiscal year,
The funds received represent
25 per cent of rentals and tim
ber sales from the Willamette
national forest in Linn county
up to the end of the fiscal year,
June 30, 1949. Friday's re
ceipts were $54,171.62 above
those of last year, but since
only 75 per cent of the total
is apportioned to road funds,
the amount of additional money
for roads is but $40,628.71 great
er. The remaining is appor
tioned to the common school
fund, it was stated.
The money received for road
work will require careful and
economical administration in re
pairing the highly damaged
roads this week, and will per
mit no new construction.
