Orr (Joy Page). Cinder, undismayed and nonchalant, was completely successful. She and her two pups are doing well. Allergic Donkey An acting donkey, hired for a kind of character role in "Happy Times," at Warner Bros., had to be fired because it was allergic to the voice of Walter Slezak. Every time Slezak tried to speak his lines, the animal began to bray. It paid no attention to the talking of star Danny Kaye, or to that of other players in' the cast.

With scarcely a week of rest between pictures in her skyrocket ing career, launched with her de- but in "Romance on the High Seas," and continuing currently with her starring role in "Two Guys and a Gal," Miss Day hasn't had time to furnish the fine home she recently purchased .in Hidden Village, a motion picture colony. But she moved in just the same and is roughing it, with nothing in the place but one bed, two kitchen chairs, one table, one two- burner electric plate, a couple of cooking pots and a few dishes. Miss Day said she would sleep on the floor if she had to. "It's the first home I've ever owned," she explained, "and six wild horses couldn't keep me out of it. Goes Boom on Gangplank Alexis Smith, beautiful Warner Bros.' star, has enshrined herself in the-hearts of the citizens of Penticton, B.C., where she recent. ly presided over Western Cana- da's famous annual peach festival. While boarding a plane for Hol- lywood she stumbled and fell flat upon her pretty face, while hun- dreds of fans, on hand to see her off, groaned with sympathy. Their groans changed to cheers when the actress regained her feet, smiled a mischievous smile, and said, "Always leave 'em laughing, that's me!" Rules Fail Romance goes on forever, even when it's supposed to be against the rules. Recently, by special permission, a group of screen stars from War- ner Bros.' studio went to the Bir- mingham Veterans' Administra- tion hospital to stage some scenes for 'Somewhere in the City," a romantic mystery drama. The story stipulated that Virginia Mayo, as a beautiful nurse, was to kiss Gordon MacRae, portray- ing a patient. Director Vincent Sherman ask- ed Miss Monica Cahill, nursing service chief who was acting as a technical advisor, if kissing was against hospital rules "Oh, yes, indeed," she replied. "Positively." "Then I guess we shouldn't shoot it," replied Sherman. "I didn't say that," said Miss Cahill. "I merely said it's against the rules. I didn't say it wasn't done. Ten of our nurses have married patients in the last two years!" Did You Guess Right? 1. "Treasure of the Sierre Madre." Humphrey Bogart. 2. No. It was James Cagney. The gal was Mae Clarke 3. "Kiss of Death." 'Widmark. Guest of the Week If Mr. Langmo Moren, 8th Line, Oakville, will present himself at the box office of the new Century theatre, any night next week, he and another guest will be admit- ted free as guests of The Journal. Richard EGGBURGERS POPULAR A novel method of selling pee- wee eggs came to light recently in Trenton, Ont. A service club was holding a carnival, and ham- burg steak for hamburgers could not be obtained. The local egg- grading station advanced the idea. that pee-wee sized eggs fried and placed in a round bun would be a good substitute and suggested that the sandwich be called an "eggburger." Fifteen dozen pee- wees were ordered. They went over like wildfire. By the end of the evening 69 dozen were sold. More could have been sold had they been available. Motorists, don't forget the gol- den rule of safety. Drive as you would have others drive. Remem- ber, to the others you are the "other fellow." BUSINESS DIRECTORY T. S. H.

Soehren in the magazine Hygeia. Thousands of men and women who have had coronary throm- bosis may reasonably expect to live many more years and lead comparatively normal, useful lives. Miss Soehren's article describes coronary thrombosis as follows: "A clot forms in one of the cor- onary arteries, and a portion of the heart muscle is deprived of blood for a length of time suffi- cient to do damage. "The fifth day is the most wor- risome. All the area of the heart supplied by the closed artery and its branches is incapacitated. Hemorrhage and death of the tis- sue take place. The height of softness in this area is reached the fifth day, when it is most sub- ject to rupture. If rupture oc- curs, the internal bleeding is nearly always fatal. "But if the patient gets past the first week, one can breathe easier. Complete healing takes six or eight weeks. The muscle deprived of blood no longer con- tracts. It dies, and scar tissues form. Healing of the injured area has been effected, but the heart's efficiency is reduced in propor- tion to the extent of the muscle damage. "Many patients go back to so nearly normal that oie cannot tell they have had a coronary attack." The writer states that as life expectancy increases, more peo- ple than ever will die of coronary heart disease. "But through the use of the new anticoagulant drugs, heparin and dicumarol, more and more will survive the first attack." TEEN TOWN By Bruce Squires Hi everybody! At last Teen Town is ready to start operations for another year. Last Friday night elections for mayor, reeve, and representatives took place. Candidates for mayor were Alis- tair Lessels, Mike Dyer, who withdrew in favor of Dave Far- ley, Ted Husband and Dave Far- ley. Farley won the election with his call to action speech, which proposed the spending of our $700 savings on tennis courts or the redecorating of our hall . which at the present time could definitely do with some- thing. Also Dave proposed the use of the space above the hall for clubrooms for the camera club, stamp club, and other pro- posed Teen Town clubs. One thing stressed by all can- didates in their speeches was the lack of spirit in Teen Town. Now more than ever, members of Teen Town come there "just for some- thing to do," and there seems to be a complete lack of spirit and co-operation among them. So come on kids, we have a good leader. . . . Let us put it on the map in '48-'49. Ruddy Whiting took the lead = in the fight for reeve from Betty McFaul. Representatives elec ed were: Karen Peck, 1st form; Laurie Wright, 2nd form; Doug Peery (acclaimed), 8rd form; Shelagh Lynch, 4th form; Rod Jones, 5th form; and Ken Pollock, Bronte representative. There's our council, kids. Let's do our best to back them up this year. By the way, membership cards will be on sale at Teen Town next week, so remember that fifty cents.
