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. I'm never ask

they make a fuss over me.
,"So far I have many ac
quaintances. I hope they soon
will become ' close friends.
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."

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.

What Is The Law?
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. When he
left, he took this out and care

But the court said his im
provements had become "af

part of the building and he
had no right to remove them.
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. Tomorrow may be too
late.

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. Knott's Berry
Farm and Ghost Town, at
Buena Park, Calif., started in
1941 and now is in a solid,

has reported.
Employment on the Coast
has dropped by 390,000 jobs
since the all-time peak last
September, the Department
added.
Total employment in Feb

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.

Grownups Impressed
Tony Marino, who opened
"Dodge City' at Patchogue,
N.Y., last summer, says,
"we're in business to make
the kids live inside a TV set.
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."

helped run a pony ride and
Shaw operated a luncheon

is that adults get twice as
much enjoyment out of these
