Gloria Swanson Longs for American
Telephone System for Foreign Friends
B GLORIA SWANSON
Written for United Prei
Madrid -UJ?) There is much
Americans can bring to our for
eign friends. Above all is the
dear, adorable, wonderful Amer
ican telephone system. It is sheer
magic.
This I want over here but fast
for I've come to the end of my
telephone cord. I'll never be
able to express mp impatience
with just an Italian or Spanish
"tchtch," after waiting hours or
even days for a call only to be
cut off as soon as it comes
through.
But there are many things we
can learn from them, too, start
ing with languages. It is naughty
of us to expect everybody in the
world to speak ours. Imagine
our indignation if a foreigner in
our country expected us to speak
his native tongue.

Father of Four Dies
In Logging Accident
Reedsport (U.R) A 23-year-old
father -of four small
children was killed about 30
miles northeast of here yester
day when he was crushed be
tween a shovel loader and a log
at a logging operation.
The victim was Leland Ern
est Thiele of Drain. It was the
eighth logging fatality of the
year in Douglas county.
Thiele was employed by the
Wells Creek Logging company,
an independent contractor op
erating in the Half-Mile creek
area.
tionary and thanks to my early
training in pantomine. My Span
ish is a farce. One of my typical
sentences is composed of a word
or two of Spanish, a couple of
French, a few Italian and some
pigeon English. But I try. I have
been over here a year coping
with French, Italian and Spanish
and my grain feels like mush.
We could learn much from
many foreign businessmen whose
sole goal is not just money. One
American I know had a shock
when he tried to triple a glove
maker's output. He offered him
cash in advance, but the . Span
iard said; "No. thank you."
"No," he said. "My wife and
I have six employee. We all
make enough to have a good life.
We are content. If we enlarge
our factories more employees,
more troubles. Then when I have
all these headaches and can t
even enjby what I have, maybe
you will have found, something
else that interests you.
Horsemeat Fresh
All the hotels in Spain try
to please Americans. At mine,
room service must think I'm
loco because I scream "take it
away" every time they' serve me
something out of an American
tin can.
I don't want food full of pre
servatives, artificial colors and
flavors and D.D.T. nor do I want
fish or chicken embalmed with
a new American chemical. I tell
them:
' "After all, you are healthier
than we are, so I'll eat what you
do."
With which the astonished
waiter takes it away and returns
with something that was killed
yesterday probably horsemeat.
Around Hollywood
. By ALINE MOSSY

SEE" JTjum
Hollywood (U.R) Fans of
Hollywood's junior sweethearts
already are showering Debbie
.-F3L Reynolds and
. a a i c r i&ner
with booties
and bonnets,
but Debbie "is
one mother-to-
be who believ
es in business
as usual.
I dropped in
on 1955 s most
. Aline Mosby publiciz-
e d bride to see how she was
taking the impending event that
is sure to have the fan maga
zines in a state of frenzy.
The heir to the Fisher for
tune is due, in November. But
Debbie still looks the same, even
in a tight pair of blue she wears
at Universal-International studio
for "Tammy." She's working six
days a week, from the crack of
dawn to 8 p.m. to finish the pic
ture by Saturday.
Next Monday, she and Eddie
drive to work together to co-star
in their first picture together,
"Bundle of Joy" at RKO, an
aptly-titled opus that also marks
young Eddie's movie debut. In
that picture the expectant moth
er not only dances, but does a
rock 'n' roll jitterbug.
Actress Feels Sam
"I don't feel any different,"
announced Debbie, snapping her
gum as she sat . in her studio
dressing room. "The doctor says
I can do anything now that I did
before. And I've always been
very, active. For me just to sit
down is a shock- to my nervous
system. I've cut out malts and
hamburgers, but otherwise I eat
as usual."
Debbie took the chewing gum
out of her mouth and began eat
ing raisins.
"After December we're rent
ing another house," she contin
ued. "The one we have m Paci
fic Palisades is too far out. We
go to New York in December and
then Eddie will be touring with
his. TV show. We'll take our two
dogs and the baby, too.
"We don't care whether it's a
boy or girl just so it's healthy,"
she added. -
Debbie figures on returning to
the screen next year. And she
hopes to run into some meaty
comedy roles. Critics have raved
over her first dramatic perform
ance in "A Catered Affair," an
event that would send most ac
tresses to measuring their man
tles for an Oscar. But Debbie
frankly admits she was talked
into the part, didn't like doing it
and has no plans for more dra
matic roles. .
"I couldn't get out of the tragic
mood after I went home from
work," the breezy actress ex
plained. "I'm most always happy
and when I'm unhappy I never
show it. I figure its' my business.
But with' that part all "my
friends asked if were sick!
"I want more comedy parts,
especially a comedy or musical
on Broadway."
As - for more babies, Debbie I
cheerily noted she . and Eddie

Quotes From the News

Keeping Turf on Football
Field Not An Easy Problem
Chicago flJ.R) Behind the
scenes of college football there
usually is a worried man trying
to grow good grass, and he can
offer pointers to homeowners
who want to get their lawns in
shape.'
The smooth turf that is the ac
cepted surface for football fields
all over the country is not just
a matter of chance. Forty-four
cleated feet during a football
game tear up even a tough sod
almost as effectively as a power
cultivator. Where the grass rootsN
are torn open, weeds begin to
grow and the finest turf tends
to weaken, . providing an ideal
place for soil insects to thrive.
No farmer trying to grow a
bumper crop gives his land more
care than the man trying to
keep good grass groving on a
football field. This turf manager
takes soil samples to experts for
analysis, he - uses fertilizer, he
studies new varieties of grass,
and he even goes to regional con
ferences to hear experts lecture
on grass.
Now a new process has been
tried with encouraging success
at several important colleges and
universities and seems to give
grass a flying head start and
gives weeds no chance. Notre
Dame took the 'plunge with the
new process last spring by cul
tivating its field, adding new
soil, organic matter and fertiliz
er, and then using the new proc
ess fumigation.
Not For. Amateurs
Tobacco farmers and others
with delicate crops have used
this process for several years.
First the area is covered. by &
plastic sheet sealed to the earth
all the way around, a quick
vaporizing liquid is put under
the cover, and the treated area
is allowed to rest for 24 hours.
During this time, the gas from
the vaporized liquid kills the
pests which cause most of the
trouble in grass. Not only are
living weeds and weed roots
killed, but also weed seeds, and
the area is left almost entirely
free from competing or injurious
growth of any kind. The cover is
then removed, and the earth al
lowed to air for a few days. Then
the grass is planted.
On the clean, treated soil, the
grass seems to grow with the
vigor of a charging football line.
From a bare start late last spring
the Notre Dame football field
was covered with thick, strong
turf by September. The passing
of winter, when grasses dig their
roots down deep, has made it
even stronger.
The process proved so good
that the University of Illinois
and U. S. Military academy have
taken it up, and the chemical
company which developed it ex
pects homeowners eventually to
use the method.
But the company explained
that the chemical must be used
only by well-equipped and well
trained professional operators,
because the material is poison
and must be used with care.
Where it is used correctly, it ap
pears to-soive most lawn prob
lems in a single process.

Commercial Seeds Said
Better Than Home-Grown
Madison. Wis. (U.R) Good
commercial seeds are better than
home-grown seeds, according to
a University of Wisconsin vege
table crops specialists.
John Schoemann gives two
reasons: home-saved seeds are
apt to carry plant diseases, and
different . varieties of certain
crops, especially pumpkins, cross
very readily with each other.
Where home-saving is at
tempted, keep only seeds from
asparagus, lima beans, cucum
bers, eggplant, lettuce, mustard,
okra. pepper, radish, vegetable
soybean and tomatoes.

000 people in the nation who
are carrying live tuberculosis
germs and they are the key to
control of the disease. "This
means that dhe-third of the na

ticipate that 5 per cent of these
will develop active disease dur
ing their lifetime," he added. -
He stated that the best meth
ods of control through finding
cases are tuberculin test and
chest x-ray to reveal early infec
