Her co-star will be Lew Ayres, who played the title role in the Kildare flickers of the late 1930s and 40s. Love Being Nurse "But instead of playing the young intern, he will play the role of Dr. Gillespie the part Lionel Barrymore once had," Maggie explained happily. "Of course, he will be much younger than Mr. Barrymore was. - "Now they're looking for a young man, not too much old er than I am, to portray the intern. He's the one who will by my romantic interest, and Mr. Ayres will be sort of fatherly." Maggie perched on the cor ner of a studio office desk, swinging her shapely legs dis concertingly. "I spent three years in New, York's Bellevue Hospital," she said. "I . loved being a nurse, but some of the doctors there advised me to give it up. They thought I couldn't disassociate myself from the patieri'ts. Patienls Get Worse "They were right. Whenev er one of my patients took a turn for the worse it would shake me up terribly. I just couldn't become calloused enough to harden myself to the suffering of other people. "So I quit to became a model. And the first modeling job I found was posing in a nurse's outfit.

Maggie smiled brightly and added that her role in the Kildare series will follow closely her own problems as a nurse not being able to ad just to the unemotional as pects of nursing. "I still want to be a movie star," she concluded, "but they aren't likely to cast me opposite Marlon Brando until I'm better known. And what better way is there to become known than in a TV series? "So it's back to the nurses uniform for me. At least I'll known what to do in the role."

YOUR QUALITY BUICK DEALERS Wall Street Chatter New York - (UPD - The gen eral public is in the market with a fervor and abandon un matched since the pre-crash days of 1929, says Business Reports Inc. "Let us keep in mind," the firm tells its readers, "that current stock prices are high - high by historical standards, by 'times-earnings' ratios, by dividend yields." That's why it favors a high degree of selectivity, with most of its choices admittedly on the conservative "fuddy duddy" side, the firm adds. However, if an investor feels he's in a position to speculate in any of the special situa tions, he'd better watch them very closely from now on, the letter cautions. Because the steel strike has been settled and the prospect of a railroad strike diminish ed, railroad volume should im prove this year, says Good body & Co. However, because of increased costs, something less than full benefits from the expected resurgence' of revenues will be realized, it adds. Bache & Co. notes that Owens-Illinois Glass remains just below its 1959-1960 high and that the chart pattern of this issue continues to reflect strength. Speckled trout are reported increasing in many of the lakes in Ontario. A NEW CAR AND NO NEW CAR UKE IN THIS AREA ARE: 143 S. Riverside MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford", Or.
