Susan Hayward Leaves Kitchen To Return To Screen Roles By VERNON SCOTT UP Hollywood Writer Hollywood WPl Social note: Mrs. Eaton Chalkley of Carroiton, Ga., has recovered from a bout with measles and reported to Goldwyn studios for her starring role in a new movie. Mrs. who? Chalkley C-h-a-l-k-l-e-y. But she is better known to movie goers as Susan Hayward. She also is making her first pic ture since marrying the Geor gia attorney-businessman. The voluptuous star has spent the' last year in Carroll ton playing the role of house wife so convincingly that she thinks the South should have won the Civil War. What happens when a mov ie queen is transplanted from the glare of tinsel town to the quiet confines of a town of 15,000 population? "I've never been happier in my life," says Susan without a hint of southern accent. "Maybe more actresses would find happiness if they moved away from Hollywood and led more normal lives. Doesn't Miss Hollywood "I don't miss Hollywood in the slightest. I don't even miss my psychiatrist!" How does Carrollton feel about having a movie star in residence? "There seems to be no re action at all," she laughed. "I'm accepted as Mrs. Eaton Chalkley. The towns people are just as gracious and lovely as they would be to anyone else.

Friendships are not cemented over night like they are in Hollywood, . but they last much longer." A Brooklyn girl who al ways has lived in the big city, Susan could reasonably be expected to feel hemmed in living in a small town. "Not so," says she. "We're only 50 miles from Atlanta, and I go to the city two or three times a week. I've made three business trips to Holly wood with my husband since we've been married, too. "There is plenty of activity at home to keep me busy. I manage the household and spend most of my time just seeing that my husband is happy." The red-haired beauty cur rently is starring as a mur deress in "The Barbara Gra ham Story," for Walter Wan- ger, and wants it known that she is not retiring from the screon. A Real Southerner "I have still more pictures to make for 20th Century-Fox and two independents coming up,"" she said. "So I will be coming back to Hollywood from time to time. "But when I'm not working my permanent address will be in Georgia. I've become a real Southerner, suh, and love every moment of it."

A new name for Southwest a : 'hn 11 years of selj or 2 million passenaeTw ?9 Which 376,000,000 Smiles "Wn more Flv PArici Is That By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist When I used to drive cows home, come milking time, the orderliness of each evening's procession was most impres sive. The same old cow head ed up the column, the same second cow took her position, and so on down to the last one with Gene Burns bring ing up the tail end of the show. Since then I have observed many animal groups and these, too, in small numbers, always fell into orderly groups. This social hierarchy can be studied most easily, perhaps among barnyard chickens. In variably one cock heads up the flock. His is the undis puted right to peck all others and not be pecked back. Be low this despot, there is yet another grouping; and an other, until the last droopy hen has no one to peck back at. In a group of chickens, for convenience numbered one to seven, I noted the following pecking order: One pecked two, three, four, five, six, and seven; two pecked three, four, five and six; three pecked four, five, six and seven; seven pecked two, four, five and six; four pecked five and seven; five pecked six; and poor six, the bottom hen on the totem pole, pecked none at all. These dominances among chickens and other animals, too, seem to depend upon several factors: strength, ex perience, cockiness, and ma turity older animals just na turally tend to dominate younger ones even after the younger ones are physically stronger. Of course there are exceptions. Newly matured canaries may lord it over their fully matured associates, and half-grown kittens can keep cats away from the milk saucer. Males Unusually Dominate Among birds, males usual ly dominate females, par ticularly when there are larg er and showier. Among warm glooded memmals, females us ually take over except dur ing the short mating season. Experienced grand - mother elk and deer always lead the herd. Pecking orders change, too. A small retiring female a colorless nonentity, low on the peck dominance scale, as it is called many accept the courtship of a dominant male. So what happens? Her peck ing status goes up. Any resemblance to human beings, of course, is wholly coincidental.

This column is prepared as a public service by the College of Law, Willamette University, Salem, to explain basic legal principles, not to provide legal advice. The reader is cautioned not to apply these cases to his own problems without an attorney's advice, for differing facts may change the outcome. Ex-Owner Takes Away Sam's Shoe Repair Trade Sam Beak received his dis charge from the service and set about to learn the shoe re pair trade. He wanted to open a shop of his own. He found one that was doing a thriving business in a good neighbor hood; and the owner didn't hesitate to show him the books, which indicated a very fair return. Sam put up his savings and borrowed some money to buy the shop. Business continued briskly for about two weeks just long enough for the former owner to open another shoe repair shop around the corner. His customers follow ed him to the new location. Sam, a stranger in town, saw his trade vanish to practically nothing. Yet there vas nothing he could do. Prohibiton Agreement Before buying, Sam should have insisted that his purchase agreement contain a prohibi tion agaist the seller opening a similar business within the same general area. Such agreements are enforced by the courts and are valuable protection to buyers. A business of any respect able size must occupy space, and a person opening a busi ness is likely to rent it. Sup pose he signs a five-year lease. Would the building owner permit .him to sub-lease it if he wished to? If, after a year, he decided to sell, would the building owner agree to rent to the new owner of the busi ness? Suppose he installed elaborate equipment to whom does it belong when he moves? Not necessarily to him. For example, one man. put a refrigerating system into the building he leased. The court decided he had no right to remove it because the system had become a part of the building and could not be taken out without some dam age. Another man put in an expensive plate glass window and marble front.

In both cases, arrangements with the landlord might have been made at the time of leasing which would have per mitted removal. Other Points Certain other points should be decided on in advance. Who is to maintain the place and make repairs? What serv ices will the landlord furnish? Who pays for opening plugged sewers or fixing leaky roofs? Anyone who plans to pur chase or lease a business should watch for and under stand these things before he commits himself to a transac tion.

Working together dventof Kiddie Cowboy Towns Offer Youngsters Taste of Old New York (IP) Kids don't need imaginations to play cowboy any more. They can run around in imitation wild West towns that have sprouted across the country. The kiddie cowboy cities, usually consisting of a gen eral store, post office, bank, 'saloon,' jail, trading post all made from rough-hewn lumber and a dusty main street on which real horses and cowboys travel, permit children of all ages to relive the frontier days. . At last count, there were 10 such towns in the coun try, scattered in New York, New Jersery, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ohio and Cali forna. They have different names "Dodge City," "Cow boy City," "Adventure Town," "Cowboy Valley,'' "Tombstone" and they come in different sizes, ranging from 25 to 2,000 acres. Make Believe Holdups But regardless of six or location, they all have one thing in common make be lieve holdups and gunfights, sometimes every hour on the hour, for the edification of the small fry. The main event consists of holdup men grabbing "money" sacks from the bank or stage coach and running for the hills. In a flash, the sheriff rides up, deputizes the kids and all dash off in hot pursuit. When the bad guys are caught they always are they are hauled back to the main street, given a fair trial, and locked up. Joe Phillips of the Cimar ron Ranch at Putman Valley, N.Y., who bills himself as "King of the Eastern Cow boys," recalls one chase where a youngster got car ried away and began to clout the robber with a club. "This work can get danger ous when the kids get excit ed," says Pillhips, who earns his living appearing at the cowboy towns with "Smo key," a trick horse, and his "wonder dogs," "Shep and Sandy." Competition Increasing Phillips notes that his com petition is getting stronger, for some nationally known TV cowboys are making them selves available for week end appearances along the kiddie cowboy circuit in the East. The holdup attraction us ually is followed by profes sional entertainmerit in the form of a trick rider, rope artist, rodeo or Indian war dance. to serve you better After that, the kids and their parents can visit the shops and spend all their money on soft drinks, cow boy hats, belts, spurs, pen nants, badges, stage . coach rides and pony rides. There is no' clear-cut claim as to which cowboy came first since the germ of the idea can be traced to various dude ranches.

Total employment in Feb ruary, excluding farm work ers and servants, was 5,512, 100. This was 80,000 under the total for the same month in 1957. The bureau said most of the January-February decline was in business and trade employ ment but there were also heavy layoffs in manufactur ing and construction.

But the grownups get a big charge out of it, too. They come here with cameras and get pictures of the kids in a setting they never dreamed existed anymore."
