.... AROUND HOLLYWOOD
By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON
United Press Correspondent
Hollywood, Feb. 23 UR)
Think getting named for an "Os
car makes any ditlerence in an
a c t 0 r's life?
Muscle -man
Kirk Douglas
says his nomi
nation d 1 d n't
impress a 11 y-
body but him
self. Douglas
who'se bare
torso and
knowing leer
leave ladies
limp, snagged
himself an
academy nomi
nation last week for "champion."
The first 24 hours, he says, were
like Christmas.
After that nobody paid any
attention to him.
"I got lots of wires, some
goofy, some sincere." Douelas
said. "An astrologer in San Jose
said he predicted it by the stars.
And Jack Warner wired: ' 1 hope
you win'."
This was extra - flattering.
Douglas says, because Mr. War-
MaePhenost
ner has an entry of his own in
the "best actor" race: Richard
Todd for "The Hasty Heart."
Family Proud
"But my mother and sisters
are proud of me," Douglas added.
"I've got six sisters, y'know.
How d'ye think I learned about
women, hmmmm?
"And my old high school
teacher in Amsterdam, N. Y.,
sent me a wire. So did the head
water at Schraffts restaurant,
where I used to tote trays. He
said iny old job was always
open, that after I win the 'Os
car' I enn't go any farther. He's
the optimistic type.
Signature Sought
"Plenty of persons wanted mo
to endorse stuff. Nobody thought
my mug'd sell anything before,
but the day after I was nomi
nated I got the pitch to blurb
whisky, television sets, cigars,
cigarettes, athletic equipment
even a dramatic school."
If he wins, and Douglas isn't
coy about wanting to, he's go
ing to send the "Oscar" to his
mother in Albany, N. Y.

Goodman Let
Hunt For Settlers
Of Early Canada
Runs Into A Snag
Quebec (U.R) A Quebec city
historical society which hopes to
find the remains of Samuel de
Champlain, the founder of Can
ada, may have its plans spoiled
by the march of progress.
The "Societe Samuel de Cham
plain" has asked the city's ad
ministrative council to postpone
for a few months the widening
of Mountain Hill, near historical
Chateau Frontcnac, It is believed
the remains of Champlain and 40
other pioneers of this country
were buried there.
The j-ociety said it had discov
ered proof that Champlain and
some of the first settlers of Que
bec such as Louis Herbert and
Louis Joliette, who lived here
between 1608 and 1650, had been
buried on the land the city wants
to use to widen the steep, nar
row and winding hill.
Views Differ
The members of the society
said they had asked Morris Bish
op of Cornell university, Ithaca,
N. Y., an expert on the life of
Champlain, to come here this
spring to help them in their
search for the remains of the
founder of Quebec and Canada.
But the city fathers did not
look at it the same way. They
said they would consider the re
quest. Well-informed sources at
city hall doubted, however, that
the city's program of widening
Mountain Hill would be post
poned. They said there had been no
real evidence that the remains of
Champlain were still there and
that even if they were, who
would know whether they really
belonged to Champlain, Hebert,
Joliette or someone else?

Of T Athletic
Supply Project
Athletic equipment furnished
the Medford YMCA by the local
20-30 club has received 13,000
boy and girl hours of use since
its purchase, according to Bob
Jones, "Y" secretary, who spoke
at the regular meeting of the
20-30 club at the Jackson hotel
this week.
Ed Nave, past president of the
club, reviewed the history of the
project! recalling that the pledge
to f u r n 1 s h athletic equipment
was made in 1947. The original
fund was created with the pro
ceeds earned in connection with
the 1947 Catfish derby. Addi
tional funds were raised througli
sponsorship of the 1948 Civic
Crama festival and other proj
ects. Purchasing of equipment was
under the direction of Mike Al
tobello, representing the 20-30
club, and Jones, representing
the YMCA.
Schedule Prepared
In order to make the best use
of the money available a sched
ule of purchasing was prepared
giving priority to those items
that would make possible the
greatest membership participa
tion. The first purchase was vol
leyball equipment that was in
stalled last September. To date,
equipment valued in excess of
$1,100 has been secured and in
stalled in the "Y" by the 20-30
club, according to Altobello.
The three gymnasium pro
grams now under way are bas
ketball, volleyball and badmin
ton, Jones reported.
'Those of us in the 'Y',' he
said, "realize the most impor
tant phase of our work is the
athletic program for the young
boys and girls. The project of
the 20-30 club has made this
program possible. In addition to
our adult club groups, we now
have over 800, boys and girls ac
tively unrticipating in the pro
gram and using these facilities."
