0 O G TWO MEDFORD (ORSGOK) orrwm Theater's First Lady Talks Of Acting, Chemise, Sputnik By GAY PAULEY UP Women'! Edilor New York (IP Helen Hayes, (ft expert at delivering lines be fore an audience, produces some lively ones backstage too. This I discovered in an inter view in her dressing room at t(r Morosco theater, where the woman many consider the first lady of the theater is appearing in new play, "Time Rememb ered." The play opened to rave notices for the actress, who at 57 is rounding out 52 years in the theater. Conversation ranged from the chemise silhouette to Sputnik, as Miss Hayes relaxed In a flame red, mandarin-style dressing gown and sipped tea to "warm my gullet." Her naturally light brown hair has been dyed gray for her role as an aging duch ess, and cut short all over. "Think I'll keep the style, said Miss Hayes. "Makes me look like Colette." I thought you'd enjoy some samples of Miss Hayes' obser vations. On the chemise "I remem ber the teddy. Oh, you mean those baggy dresses . . . not un derwear. Well: I haven't seen any woman yet who looks good in them. Was the sack Mr. Dior's final gesture to the world? I always heard of him as being - a kindly man ... I don't un derstand how he could be so cruel." Something of Value "I am reminded of a speech by Mr. Hoover, the former pres ident, the other day, when he told of all the things we In this nation have given the world. I was sitting next to my good friend, Dr. Salk. (Jonas Salk, who produced the polio vaccine). And I said to myself, 'I would rather have YOU than a satel lite any day! On bringing up children "This is a time of terror for par pits. There was a blessed day In the Victorian , era when the pattern for rearing children was clear cut. Now, we dare not lose our temper. I used to lose my tamper at my little ones . . . and then worry. Because I yelled at you today, will you develop a tic or something at 17?" Miss Hayes and her husband, playwright Charles MacArthur, who died last year, reared two children. Daughter Mary died at 19, a victim of infantile paraly sis. Jamie, an actor, now is a tudent at Harvard. On working wives "I know many of them, of the same gen eration as my own lovely Mary. Seems to me, a young woman, if disciplined on the job, is more Apt to find a balance in living, in work and home," plenty of Advice On advice to the stage-struck "I have ladeled it out by the cgrload through the years. I have a strong conviction that those -ho belong will make it. There are three requisites . . . taste, talent and tenacity. Tenacity will leep those in who should be. And the others will have profit ad by the experience." On remarriage for her "Oh, no . . . not when you've once ' Dei Asked God Answered Geo. N. Taylor Years ago a New York State town saw sweeping revival. The men of the church met night after night from November until April. They pled with God to turn the peo ple to Christ. God was pleased to answer their prayers. More than one hundred in town and country received Christ as Lord and Saviour. "No man can come to Me except God the Father who Sent Me draw him and I .will raise him up the last day." John 6:44. Men prayed; God heard and the people acted. 1 yStT im WAIIISCOTT'S 322 EAST MAIN MAIL TRIBUNE married the best." On widowhood "Since wo men mostly outlive men, it be hooves us to find ways and means of warding off loneliness. There is a line in one of my fav orite poems which goes some thing like this Solitude can be rich and gratifying, quite dif ferent from loneliness." On the future "I get ex hausted thinking of all the things I want to do . . .. the work to do in my garden . . . the books I want to read. At 57, I look for ward with more palpitating anx iety than I did at 20."

She stated that "garden hygiene" begins in the fall, and is of the greatest importance throughout the en tire year. She spoke of fall care for perennials, the lawn and of roses. The speaker also said that am- aryllis should be planted now, and advised early sowing of sweet peas, since this flower does not tolerate heat or drought: Mrs. Carson also gave in formation on the winter care of asparagus, rhubarb and straw berries. Mrs. N. B. Stoddard's bird report was based on an article in the December Geographic en Canada geese, showing how dyed-in-the egg goslings and grown, honkers with neckties help scientists improve the lot of these majestic birds. Over the past five years a score of men have pried into the community life of the Great Basin Canada- goose in one of the most intensive investiga tions this waterfowl has ever undergone, she reported. By injecting vegetable dye into nearly hatched eggs, they have produced goslings colored a startling red, green, or blue. When goslings are two months old plastic neck bands are used, yellow for "girl" and red for "boy." These colored neckbands and dyed goslings have proved invaluable tools in following the daily, seasonal, and annual do ings of goose society in a typical nesting area. They have helped tell whether flocks are increas ing, dwindling, or just holding their own, and they have reveal ed vital facts and principles on which to manage wisely a mag nificent, once-threateded natural resource for the enjoyment of future Americans, the speaker said. Thanksgiving arrange m e n t s were planned, completed and placed in various settings about the room. The club plans to furnish na tive trees and shrubs for plant ings at the County Detention Home grounds. At the close of the business meeting refreshments were serv ed by the hostess Mrs. N. B.

WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York (IP) Romance of the exotic fuels which sent satel lites and missiles hurtling into space sounds anything but romantic when the experts talk about them. They are tricky things, hard to handle, and dangerous. Some of them Elmer Waizer are difficult to store. And the whole group of them is in a confused mess just now with any one in research or none at all now in the lab oratory apt to be the real pro pellant of the future. Standard and Poor's notes that the whole missile fuel field is subject to rapid technological shifts. Worst of all marketwise, the firms making these fuels or experimenting with them point out that earnings of any signifi cance still are ' several years away. Standard believes that no single propellant will meet all the operating requirements of all types of rockets and missiles. Chemical fuels may give way to nuclear, ionic, or solar energy. Right now there are two types of high energy fuels liquid and solid. Most missiles use a liquid consisting of a fuel and an oxi dizer, Standard and Poor's ex- Complete Control of Fire Predicted Azusa, Calif. (TO The forest service predicted complete con trol today of the five-day fire which has blackened 25,000 acres in Angeles National forest. Officials said about 85 per cent of the blaze was under con trol by Monday night. Fire fight ers had hoped to fully contain the fire by nightfall Monday, but reported trouble with a hot spot on the north side of the line. Some 400 firefighters remain ed on the lines, about 20 miles northeast of downtown Los An geles. There are a total of 1,000 men working two shifts. Planes again bombarded Iso lated hot spots with a water borate solution Monday. Other outbreaks were being fought in the Windy Gap and Devil's Can yon areas by a contingent of Indian firefighters flown in by helicopter.

The oxidizer combines with the fuel to realease the heat of combustion. Undesirable Here are a few things which make the liquid fuels undsirable: Liquid hydrogen provides more thrust per pound than any others, but it is difficult to make and problems of its use are cur rently almost insurmountable. Light weight metals, such as boron, lithium, and beryllium are being explored along with the amine fuels such as hvrlra- zane, dimenthyl hydrazine, and amonia. inese have little carbon content. Standard says these have been found to be extremelv dangerous to handle because of their toxicity and unstable na ture. Liquid propellants are found to develop more thrust per pound than solids, but their many disadvantages are working again st them. The Navy, for example, is concentrating almost entirely on solids. Solid fuels also have problems, it is pointed out. They cost more to make, too. They have a short operational life and an unstable pressure to their explosive force. They also present problems in turning off or controlling pro pulsion once it is started. The scientists are working a maze of exotic fuels, Many of the difficulties are being over come. There still are problems. All of this does not mean the propellants do not work. They have been demonstrated to produce the proper speeds for missiles and meteors, but they are as dangerous as rattlesnakes to handle. Worst of all they are costly and so far lack the profits that would make them stock market favorites.

The plan would hinge on a grant from a foundation and cooperation of the presidents of state colleges and the university. Director James Yeomans said the study would give leaders In special fields of study a chafice to provide the answers for criti cism they have made of high school curricula. The directors agreed also that such a study would provide an answer to "what can almost be termed mass hysteria" since Rus sian scientists began producing space satellites.
