Have you ever been on a long motor-trip and sought vainly for a restful spot to pull off the side of the road and relax with a little snack? If you have, and you are ever touring the state of Michigan, you'll never forget the attractive little roadside picnic sites that the Michigan State Highway department has established at regular intervals along its highway right-of-ways. They have not achieved all of this quickly and without planning and effort. Trees and shrubs have been systematically plarted along high-; ways at strategic points. Sometimes this may be at the junction of two or three highways. But usually the sites are a slight widening of the right-of-way, offering the shelter of a.large tree, the beauty of enclosing shrubs, it rustic table and benches are provided at each site, sometimes several if the space allows. But mostly they have attempted to provide privacy for a small group and most sites have but one or two tables. Each site is kept . scrupulously clean and suitable signs appeal to the traveler to leave the site as clean as he found it. Waste containers are provided to facilitate this. Water is available at •erae ipoints. . Sunday Rest Bill--Did you hear Brown snoring in church this morning? Joe--I'll say. He woke me up, too! DON'T QUOTE ME!

Some say he is a second Qary Cooper. Actually he's the first Gregory Peck. Critics went all out about him in "Days of Glory"--but not th6 picture. He co-stars with Ingrid Bergman in "Spellbound," which Alfred Hitchc o c k directed. • He's the only male star except Gary Cpoper w h o m I n g r i d Bergman has ever been able to look up to. Peck is 6 feet 2. This lanky young man has n ot been built up by desperate Hollywood studios scurrying to alleviate the Scutev male shortage. Greg was a pre-medical student at the University of California when he took part in a school production of "Anna Christie" and decided to give up medicine and become an actor. He got his first real break in the Katharine Cornell play "The Doctor's Dilemma." That decided him to become ah actor. But before that he was a member of the Barter theater in Abingdon, Va. He was a stroke on the Bear crew that rowed at Poughkeepste itli 1938. Lowly Beginning ' Peck's first professional experience in showmanship was as a 'barker on the Midway at the New York's World's fair. In a contest he won a two-year scholarship to the New York Neighborhood Playhouse. Between semesters he won the Barter theater «award. Guthrie McClintic saw him in a Barter theater play and engaged him for the tour with "The Doctor's Dilemma. Made his Broadway debut in "The Morning Star." Played juvenile lead opposite Jane Cowl in "Punch and Julia." Also played male lead opposite Martha Scott in "The Willow and I" and opposite Geraldine Fitzgerald in "Sons and Soldiers." Received no less than a dozen motion picture offers before he accepted the RKO-Selznick contract. Strictly Per tonal Gregory Peck's wife, Greta Rice, is a nonprofessional. He is modest, intelligent, and conservative. He is prouder of his small son than he is of star billing. He's a collector of "how to bring up babies" information. He boasts that he pins a mighty neat diaper on his young son. Greg says that if as an actor he has to have a hobby, the help shortage has fortunately provided one for him. He is a pretty fair *nd passably energetic gardener. Greta and Gregory Peck do very well without night clubs. Their favorite entertainment is visiting with half a dozen friends. Greg likes discussions--any subject. He swims and rides, but his tennis is bad, and he's never mastered golf. a . Behind the Scenes Peck is a quick study. He learns a page of dialog merely by reading it through twice. He always had stage fright at dress rehearsals. This tenseness lasts several days of sltooting on each picture. He doesn't believe the "hoitytoity" attitude stage actors have toward the screen is justified. For his ^noney some of the best actors in the world are right in this town. , He's under the spell of Alfred Hitchcock. Says, "It's a privilege to work under his direction." He'd like to do one rootin', tootin* western. His enjoyment of horseback riding has something to do with this ambition. One Appearance Greg's father was a druggist in San Diego. He'd always wished that he was a doctor. Greg had a great devotion to his father--still has. He decided that if his father thought doctoring was the ideal career, doctoring was for him. At the University of California Greg studied medicine. » Then came the school production of "Anna Christie." With that one appearance he discovered he really liked acting. When he finished school he left for New York. He applied for the job as a guide at Radio city. Then came his scholarship to the New York Neighborhood Playhouse, which was followed by the Barter theater award. And he was on his way up. • • • *' Would Hamlet Pan? ^ O, my gosh! The Hays office has put a ceiling on the number 61 bodies you can have in a western. Now it's eight. . . . Producers are mighty sensitive, too, about gunwomen on the screen these days. Are they afraid it might give some Hollywood ladies an idea? . . . Elizabeth Taylor is star stuff in "National Velvet," as I predicted she would be. In "Hold High the Torch," she's also starred. . . . They've also got the raven, Pete, who barks like a doff. • - Valuable Worms In rich 'garden soil as many as 50,000 earth worms per acre may be found. They bring to the surface about ten tons of rich fertile subsoU. ^ Brazil's Iron Deposit v • Btsiil's new iron deposit has been^ estimatfed at 15 billion tons, or 22p cent of the wood's estimated. iProJn reserves. ^ Lemon in Cooking By adding one tablespoon ot lemon juice to each pint of cooking water for rice or potatoes, they will remain whit* when cooked.
