Aiin Mosby un ceumom Elaine is a sultry beauty with long, brown hair who plays not-too-bright glamour girls and oth er, women ("The Bad and the Beautiful"). She seldom talks about it, but a dig into her personal life dis closes that underneath it all she's the brainy, executive type. "Well, you look at acting in a realistic light," explained Elaine. "I like what I'm doing, but do I want to sit around studios all my life? I decided to get into business, too." Salary Invested in Stocke Elaine started to save her pen nies when she first came to Hol lywood. She lived in a modest $40-a-month a p a rt m e n t, and went without a car. A friend in the stock market helped Elaine invest her savings from her sal ary at MGM, where she was un der contract at the time. "I got ih pictures during the slow side of the movie business but on the stock market every thing started booming. My stock tripled," she said. She nextVnoved on to buy two apartment houses and open a small nightclub at nearby Mal ibu Beach, "The Cottage." She bought a tract of land near Palm Springs and soon will cash in on the desert boom by sub dividing it into lots.

LEA MOTORS Is That Surely, ever since you were knee-high to a grasshopper you've heard talk, haven't you, of "shooting stars" or "falling stars?" Nothing could be farther from the facts even though appear ances would have you believe that a star in the far-off distance does seem suddenly to streak across the firmament. Actually what the beholder sees is one of the 20,000,000 or so meteors which plunge every day through our comparatively thin atmosphere say from 40 to 80 miles from the surface of our earth at speeds of about 30 miles a second. They are solid matter which may once have formed part of some planet or comet. Rushing through the thin air at their terrific speed, the friction caused and burn. As a result, even when a meteor does reach our earth, it is only a fraction of the mass which first entered our atmos phere, the rest having been con sumed. The greatest single met eor shower on record and records go back to 644 B.C. occurred one the night of November 12-. 13, 1833, when the number was' estimated at Boston to exceed 240,000. This shower was seen from the Gulf of Mexico to Hal ifax, Nova Scotia. Largest Crater The largest meteorite crater, first sighted from a plane in 19 4 3, is in northern Ungava, Canada, and is water filled. Its rim is 7V2 miles and it is 1,350 feet deep. If you'd like to see a dry crat er, go to Coon Butte crater, near Canyon Diablo, Winslow, which is in northern Arizonia. It i 4,000 feet in diameter and about Atomic Fallout Causes Excitement on Tanopah Tonopah, Nev. (in Light fall- out from today's atomic detona tion caused a flurry of excite ment in this mining community of about 1,500 persons, located 100 miles north of the Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada test site. Although the fallout was the heaviest received in Tonopah, the AEC said the peak amount was less than l-150th of that considered dangerous by the most rigid standards.

"I hope to build my own studio in the desert," she added casually. While more famous stars were worrying over how to pay their income taxes this spring, beauti ful Elaine was drilling four oil wells in Texas. To make us spendthrifts feel worse, she hit (uauci nikU IXIC 1119L uuc let" entlyv "I like my double life," Elaine; grinned. "Having this independ ence, I don't care if my studio (U-I) puts, me on suspension if I don't get the right part." Beginners' Band, Orchestra Meet Set Medford public school students of grades four through 10 who are interested in beginning a band or orchestra instrument are invited to a meeting at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 1, in the senior high band room. The entire instrumental music staff will be available for con sultation, according to I. A. Mi rick, supervisor of instrumental music. At least one parent should accompany each child, he said. Summer orchestra classes run for two weeks starting June 10 and again from July 15 to Aug ust 2, making a total of five weeks for all band students, Mirick explained. One concert is planned for the intermediate grade school band and the junior high band. Two concerts are planned for the high school group. In addition, Mirick said there will be an orchestra recital and a beginners band recital at the end of the sessions. Elmer Ayers will teach orch estra and John Drysdale the band. Wednesday, Mar 29. 1957 By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist 450 feet deep. Scientists have estimated that it would take a meteor of about 25,000 tons traveling at 60 miles per second to gouge out such a hole. And some meteors have been timed at traveling again as fast. The largest meteorite in any museum is at the Hayden Plane tarium, N.Y., found in Green land, and it weighs 32Vi tons, which was discovered in 1902, a short distance northwest of Ore gon City, Ore. This meteorite, known as the Willimette metero rite named for the nearby valley in which it was found and the river, measures lOVi feet by 6V2 feet by 4 ',2 feet and originally weighed perhaps 25 tons. Since historic time, the largest meteorite to hit the earth was near Vanovara, central Siberia, June 30, 1908. Before disintegra tion, it is believed to have weigh ed right around 200 tons. Someone Will Be Killed oooner or later, of course, someone is going to be killed by a meteor but up to the present writing, there is no recorded fatality although Mrs. Hewlett Hodges of Sylacouga, Ala., has the distinction of being injured by a glancing blow from a meter orite on Nov. 30, 1954. As this despite the fact that tremendous showers have bomb arded our earth perhaps the greatest occurring at Poltusk, Poland, on January 30, 1868. On that date, about 100,000 of these stony meteorites fell, weighing from l30th of an ounce up to almost 20 pounds.
