(International) Around Hollywood Br ALINE MOSBY UaJtad Pras Corns pondnt M Hollywood U.R) June Ha ver has quit her convent but Nancy Valentine, another ex- movie beauty, said today she is still happy with her vows to stay in a Yogi seminary. Nancy once was a luscious blonde actress who rhumbaed i n Mocambo and Ciro's and Aline Mosby was secretly wed to the Maharajah of Cooch Behar. Today she is a quiet-voiced girl with natural brown hair who works in obscurity at the world headquarters for the self- realization fellowship in down town Los Angeles, far from the glittering lights of movietown. She lives at a Yogi seminary. Very Happy "I'm sorry to hear June left the convert," Miss Valentine said. "I think I'll write her a little note. I didn't know she had ill health." "As for me, I am very happy here. I am in Yogi for life." She sold her furs and gems and entered the faith, taking its vows of chastity for life, nearly a year ago. ' "I am called a renunciate," she said. "It's the same thing as a postulate at a convent. After seven years I will be called a sister. Rises Early "Our faith is a combinatio!f the Eastern and Western relig ions. I will serve God either by traveling around the word to give lectures or, perhaps, by working here in the office. God will lead me to the particular place. Nancy, too, has to rise with the birds at 4 a. m. to begin her long day of prayer, meditation, spirit ual training and work. But her health can stand it, she said. "When I work for God He gives me energy," she smiled. Another movie beauty who gave up her career to follow God was brunette Colleen Townsend. She is still devoted to her relig ious life. Her husband, Louis Evans Jr., is studying for the ministry at a university in Scot-land." The Grange Live Oak Grange Raymond C.
