Hollywood Rtally Neids Thoso Toohnloal Advisers The butcher, the baker, th« Candlestick maker--and about everyone else--watch Hollywood closely to see that they are done right. Let a movie maker show M little as 50 ffet of film wherein a plumber, doctor, dentist or bricklayer uses the wrong tool and he wttl -get a stack of mall. That's why hardly a movie Is made these days without at least one technical adviser, and sometimes three or four. In "A Streetcar Named Desire." one icene Ijriafly shows a machine shop where some welding Is going on. That was the signal, then, for Warner Brothers to call in Arthur Johnson, a veteran welder. He went on the pay roll as technical adviser to be sure all scenes pertinent to his craft were correct. Plumber^ are the most sensitive craftsmen, according to studio executives, and next come doctors and dentists. That's why you seldom see jokes in pictures any more about plumbers forgetting their tools, over* charging, hooking gas lines to water '«r cold water t« hot Advertise In The Plaindealer MOMic evidence^ prove new improved Bendix Tumble-Action gets clothes 3 ways cleaner! 1.

It lists a grand total of 1,932 species of these wood-eating insets, known chiefly to the general public as pests but to students of insect behavior as among the most remarkable examples of social evolution. The work is by Dr. Thomas E. Snyder of the department at agriculture's bureau of entomology and plant quarrantine. Dr. Snyder is among the world's foremost authorities on termites. He not only has made extensive collections but has studied the habits and control of the insects through most of th« western hemisphere. The catalog gives the "whit* ants"--a bad misnomer--a new family tree, and several hitherto unknown and living and fossil genera and species are listed. The wood eaters are most closely related to the cockroaches and thua can trace their lineage to the earliest known insects that swirmed in the ancient forests at least 25,000,- 000 years ago. The termite order itself is at least 30,000,000 years old and has undergone extensive evolution, although some of the most primitive forftis still are in existence. Superficially the termites resemble ants--their most .devastating enemies. They seem to have followed parallel lines of evolution, tOth In body ldrm and in their r«4 naarkabl# social organization.

Joe Marsh Granny Drives But Won't "Shift" Saw Grandma Taylor parking her 1924 Franklin out front the other day. Neat as a pin, radiator and hub caps gleaming--the whole car is as shiny as the day she bought it 30 years ago. Then I stopped and looked again--for there, hanging on the spare tire was a sign: "This car NOT for sale." Asked Granny what was going on. "Joe," she says, "it's this craze for old cars. Everybody wants to buy my Franklin.But it has served for years and it's not for sale at any price." From where I sit, it's strictly the new cars for me--but Grandma Taylor, and others, are certainly welcome to their "old faithfuls." It's simply a question of preference. Same with a choice of beverages. For instance, I like a temperate glass of beer with supper. You may prefer coffee. Fine! The important thing is that we respect each other's choice--and "ride along smoothly" together.
