By VIRGINIA VALE JT'S Fred MacMurray whom the public chose for the stellar role in RKO's "The Miracle of the Bells." A blank ballot' was printed in the New York Times and ballots were inserted in each copy of the book, so (as is not always the case in such matters) the public really had a chance to vote. The character is that of a lively, hard-boiled press Agent, Often confuting to homemakers •re the thro* words--"enriched,1 "restored" and "fortified" -- found on food labels. In enriched Sour, the miller put* into flour about the seme amount of thiamine, niacin and inn that it lost in milling white firon* the whole grain. Riboflai added in even larger i than found In whole wheat. vin is ards have also been set up for calcium and vitaggin D, but'the addi- tkm of theMsMe i^SvVoOlul ntary. In "restored" foods the manufacturer puts back the nutrients lost in processing. Sometimes breakfast foods are restored and the manufacturer puts baek the thiamine, niacin and iron that were lost in the processing. This process is voluntary on the part of the manufacturers. When the manufacturer adds nutrients that were not originally present in the food, his foods become "fortified." For example, almost all margarine is fortified with vitamin A and sometimes milk is fortified with vitamin D. « J«a«wal Sees V"- Malaya is one at the world's greatest natural "aoos."

Hand laundering is recommended, but machine gashing is usually safe if garments are left in no longer than three minutes. Stubborn spots are removed by smoothing the wet f abric out on a flat surface and rubbing extra soap into the spots before actual laundering. Acetate garments should be bung up without wringing just as they come from the last rinse, or the water may be blotted up by rolling them in a toweL They should never be wrung or twisted.

This avoids flattening the fibers so they reflect light -- in other words it prevents those shiny surfaces that add six months' Wear If the appearance of the garment. FRED MacMURRAY perfect for MacMurray. Clark Gable and Cary Grant also got plenty of votes; right now the public seems to want to see Clark Gabie in practically anything! Same with Ingrid Bergman; she led the list for the role of the motion picture actress; second place, an unknown, with Jennifer Jones and Greer Garson com ing next. --*-- • • , You'll learn some surprising facts when you see the new March of Time, "Germany -- Handle with Care!" You'll learn the reasons for the British and American attempt to break the economic barriers sej>- arating the four zones of Germany: you'll see German crowd? at the. races, and at fashion shows. And the curtain is lifted on the obscure Russian zone. "Germany-- Handle with Care!" is important! Ancient Aztec civilization gets a lot of attention at the NBC "Life Can Be Beautiful" rehearsals; the star, Alice Reinhart, and her husband, Les Tremayne, also on the show, spend their vacations in Mexico each year; his hobby is studying and photographing archeological ruins. Next time they'll visit the Yucatan peninsula--they're doing research on the ruins there right now, "* When Milton Berle supplants Rudy Vallee on the air, beginning March 11th, you'll hear a new singer for whom great things are predicted. He's Dick Farney, and the movies are already after him, but he wants to make a nahie in radio here first. He's very handsome--"and sounds so much like Crosby you can hardly tell the difference." When you see "The Locket," with Laraine Day, Brian Aherne, Robert Mitchum and Gene Raymond starring, you'll see samples of art work by other' players. In an art gallery sequence displays include charcoal sketches by Douglas Fairbanks Jr., water colors by James Warren, oil paintings by Barbara Hale, statuary by Ginger Rogers and pastels by Myrna De& Just pastime art, but good. : The report on F^red Astaire's first movie test is practically a classic --"Can't act. Slightly bald. Can dance a little." But he's not the only one who hit the top after a discouraging start. Of course, there's Ray Milland, who made four trips from England to Hollywood before he made the grade. --*-- Abbott and Costello yearn to do "Hamlet** in the movies; it'll be a burlesque version, of coarse, which may cause admirers of the elastic to shudder. The boys won't get around to it till after they make a picture in England next sammer. Joy Ames and Dick Landry, dancers, were paired as a romantic team in "My Wild Irish Rose." They'd never met till the picture started. So--they fell in love, and were married on the set, with stars Dennis Morgan and Andrea King as best man and matron of honor. --*-- • After more than eight years on CBS, "Kate Smith Speaks" will switch to the Mutual network on June 23rd, with Ted Collins as News commentator; it's a five-year deal. "Kate Smith Sings" will continue on CBS till further notice. --$ ODDS AND ENDS--Barry Thomson of "Young Dr. Mdomtf* conld H* btmstlf field Ripened Research by Wayne university revealed that tomatoes ripened in the field compared with tomatoes from the same field harvested rt the "mature green" stage and shipped through the usual channels showed a ratio of approximately 25 to 14 more vitamin C content in favor of the field-ripened product. Experiments with figs, apricots and peaches indicated marked benefits in flavor and sugar content when these crops are left on the trees en additional week or so. .Storare Space Adequate storage sp*>ce ai>d a ter system for storing in y • kitchen will, help you save your self and your time. Of course, it'? very important to have a suffici* nt number of cupboarcj, shelves, racks and the like, but it's equnlly important that your storage space be well organized. Many cupboards can be made to hw)d almost twice as many dishes or cooking utensils by making better use of space. A little experimenting and shifting will very probably be worth the effort.
