Hollywood (U.Ri During
World War II there was an ex
pression, "Oh, my achin' back."
I heard soldiers originated it
from long hikes with full packs.
' But I didn't have sympathy
for their plight until I did "The
Search for Bridey Murphy."

a back-beating.

rado housewife Ruth Simmons
who allegedly was "age regress
ed" to another life in 18th Cen
tury Ireland by hypnosis. I had
to lie flat on my back for almost
six weeks while Louis Hayward
went through his hypnotic rou
tine. The first three days on the
couiu -tie line. I went home
every night j-estcd. But after
that, it was murder. I had
enough aches for two or three
backs. I complained and Par
mount's prop men had several
snT'pi oiUows made up, firm
enough not to let me sink down.
' iuey ' was the most de
manding picture I've ever made.
Can you imagine having to act
90 per cent of a picture with
your eyes closed?
Hayward would pretend to
hypnotize me and then the
camera would move in close as
I told, in an Irish brogue, about
my life in Belfast.
Knowing that the camera was
several inches from the end of
my nose, I always had the temp
tation to open my eyes and
look into the lens. It was dis
concerting having to emote in
the darkness!
Expressions Practiced
I practiced facial expressions
in front of a mirror, putting on
a look of joy, or of anger or
fear. Then I'd turn around and
repeat them in front of my
daughter, Mary, with my eyes
closed. .
Anger was the tough one,
Mary said, "Mother, with your
eyes closed, you don't look
angry. You look silly!"
To make it more difficult, I
had to assume the voices of the
"age regressed" Bridey. I had
to talk like Bridey as a four
year old, at 8. 17, and 66.
I got the voices mixed up
several times. Once I used the
66-year-old voice for Jhe eight
year -old Bridey and didn't
realize it.
Mrs. FDR Sees Ike's
Health To Be Avoided
New York U.PJ Mrs. El
eanor Roosevelt predicted today
that the question of President
Eisenhower's health "probably
will be carefully avoided" by
both political parties in the
coming election.
The 71-year-old former First
Lady, who has attended political
conventions "ever since I can re
member," will address delegates
to the Democratic convention in
Chicago on Monday night.
"I would not really call it a
speech," Mrs. Roosevelt said.
Four years ago she got a stirring
ovation when she appeared to
speak at the Democratic con
vention. "I will say just a few
words. Four years ago I spoke
for the United Nations."
She felt health would be shun
ned by Democrats and Republi
cans alike in their campaign,
Mrs. Roosevelt said in an inter
view, "because the people are
more concerned about that than
the political parties are."
Plywood Industry
Shutdowns Forecast
Portland (U.R) Possible shut
downs in the plywood industry
were forecast today after a new
record low bid was reported.
A new S68 level on the quarter-inch
AD index grade was re
corded in bidding on the latest
Army Engineers' order for about
two million square feet. At a net
of $64.50 per thousand to the
mill the low bid equals a S68 in
dex, which includes the normal
five per cent discount on carlot
shipments. .
The low bid was submitted by
Weyerhaeuser Timber Company.
Industry spokesmen said that
S76 is the break-even mark for
many operators and some sources
said the new low price could
mean shutdowns.

is thickened and smooth. Add
salt and pepper to taste. Makes
six servings.
Squash Pep-Up
Enjoy any of the fine soft sum
mer squashes that are cooked
without peeling. Delicately flav
ored, they need only slicing and
cooking covered in a small
amount of boiling salted water
until barely tender; maybe 10 or
12 minutes. Season with salt,
pepper and butter; then add a
dash of catsup or tomato sauce to
pep up the flavor.
Corn Custard

two cups canned or frozen whole

Napa Valley Cole Slaw

and plentiful Thompson seedless
grapes remind us of this flavorful
cole slaw favored in Napa val
ley. Combine four cups finely
shredded cabbage and one cup
seedless grapes. Moisten with
dressing made by mixing togeth
er one cup sour cream, three ta
blespoons fresh lemon juice, one-
half teaspoon salt, three table
spoons sugar. Serve in lettuce
cups; garnish with more chilled
grapes.
Fruit. Vegetables in Market
The list of plentiful good
things, to eat is unusually long
at this season of the year, mak
ing meal planning easy and chal
lenging the home canner, freezer
and jam or jelly maker to put
in supplies for later, enjoyment.
We say It often; Talk over your
plans with your fruit and veget
able men if you're "putting up"
produce. He is just as anxious to
move produce at peak supply as
you are to obtain it when prices
are most advantageous; .
Watch this newspaper's adver
tisements. It hag long been the
habit of many to '"stock-up" on
"specials" which appear in
every department of the store.
These often represent the best
buys of the store managers-just
as your purchases represent
your Jbest buys.
: Fresh fruits in plentiful sup
ply include bananas, some vari
eties of . berries, cantaloupes,
honeydew melons, nectarines,
Cardinal and Thompson seedless
grapes. Apricot season will soon
be ending. Late Elberta. peaches
are a special delight for eating
out-of-hand, for simple slicing
with cream and sugar, for des
sert making. Plums and fresh
prunes are increasing in supply;
make marvelous eating in many
ways. First of the Bartlett pears
ripe enough for immediate eat
ing are coming in. Gravenstein
apples, delight of green apple
pie makers have appeared and
will be around for only a few
short weeks so make the most
of them. Chilled watermeln
refreshes. ,
Vegetable Buys. Bell peppers,
carrots, chili peppers, corn, cu
cumbers, dry onions; lettuce,
radishes and green onions in
special abundance for salad
making. Firm tomatoes for slic
ing are more plentiful, lower in
price. Try the soft " summer
squashes for -a menu change.
Cook them ever so briefly, sliced
but unpeeled; season with salt,
pepper, butter. Corn on the cob
was never better. Huge bunches
of crisp celery- are bargains in
good eating, both raw and cook
ed. Try green beans au gratin or
combined with diced onion or
sliced mushrooms.
Meat and . Poultry. Beef
bargains from chuck and round
for long, slow, flavorful eating.
Hamburger specials! Lamb
shoulder roasts and lamb for
stewing among best buys. Frank
furters at least once a week and
plan an occasional cold plate
with luncheon meats, cheese as
sortment, pickles. Look for pork
specials on bacon, picnic hams
and sausage. Plenty of chicken
fryers, broilers and turkeys to
make superlative eating at rea
sonable cost.
Jury Box Remains
Empty in Brink's Case
Boston U.R) The govern
ment today threw a fresh batch
of veniremen into the legal
battle to seat a jury in the trial
of eight men accused of the
$1,219,000 Brink's robbery.
The jury box was still empty
today at the grey, brick Suffolk
County Courthouse although 301
veniremen, a cord number, had
been called since Tuesday.
Spectators all but deserted the
courtroom Thursday and one de
fendant snored as the trial plod
ded to the end of the fourth day.
A monotonous volley of de
fense challenges along with
scores of veniremen dismissals
because of fixed opinions frus
trated a third-day attempt to se
lect a panel.
