is CAGNEY‘S BOAT NOW KIDE‘ PLAYOROUND â€" Youngsters d CAGNEY‘3 BOAT NOW KIDY PLAYGROUND â€" Youngsters dive into the water from the "Swift"., 18th centuryâ€"design boat once owned by Jimmy Cagney. Jimmy‘s one voyage aboard can be summed up in "Sail, Pale, Rail." Shortly afterward, he sold her. "You can‘t fool audiences any more. Before, an ideal movie star was one who had the flawless face of a model in a collar adverâ€" tisement. Fortunately the premâ€" jum now is no longer on beauty but on truth. I‘m ore of many "Like myself, Dick Brooks beâ€" Meves in the luxury of imperâ€" fectionâ€"using the little things that happen spontaneously when the camera is turning. A door sticking, for example, or when a match doesn‘t light on the first stroke. Or, most of all, two peoâ€" ple talking at the same time. A director with courage will say, *Print it. That‘s the truth.‘ It‘s this absence of the old artificiâ€" ality that has matured both movies and movie audiences. Glenn Ford, after twenty years as an inâ€"andâ€"outer among Hollyâ€" wood‘s stars, has suddenly beâ€" come the biggest boxâ€"office draw in the country at the age of 43. Visited on the l:t of his M“tlh picture recently (a comedy, "It Started With a Kiss"), Ford was asked: "How come No. 1?" He quickly threw a monologue on the conversational fire. u“‘l.mv;:;tu thl.oo faintest idea," e hâ€"looking actor deâ€" clared. ‘"Things just began to happen to me when I came to Mâ€"Gâ€"M in 1954. Before that I‘d been at Columbia with Rita Hayâ€" worth and Bill Holden. We all started out together. Patience was what I learned at Columbia. But when I did ‘Blackboard Jungle‘ for Richard Brooks at Mâ€"Gâ€"M, I was finally allowed to use a lot of theories I‘d had stewâ€" ing in the back of my head for New King Of The Movie Box Office REMINDER â€" Poster, pictured above, is the Humane Associaâ€" tion‘s reminder to all of its mission. Poster was issued in connection with the 45th anâ€" nuol observance of Be Kind to Animals Week. . | Now rumors were rampant that Toronto would trade four players to Detroit for Delvecchio before the Byng announcement. Imlach continued, "Do you think I‘m crazy enougl to give up four players for one? Is Delvecchio that good? He didn‘t score 20 goals and he didn‘t get more than a couple of penalties. So what is the guy doing? My only conclusion is that Delvecchio was â€"doing nothing. I don‘t care who #tâ€"is,â€" no player in this league ean go through 70 games and get only a couple of penalties if he‘s checking." Well, maybe Punch closed the door on any such deal as the rumor stated. but we must remind the Toronto general manager (s if he is not already aware) that some pretty good Toronto Maple Leaf players have won the Byng trophy in the past, namely Sid Smith, Syl Apps, Joe Primeau, and Gordon Drilâ€" lon. Punch would have to temper his remarks regarding those stalâ€" warts, even if they did win the Byng trophy, and the Toronto management might even swap Punch for another Apps, Priâ€" meau, or Drillon. amnouncement that Alex Delvecâ€" chio of Detroit had won the Lady Byng trophy, "I don‘t want any myu winners on my elub. TL any player who wins the Byng trophy." Now the Byng trophy in the National Hockey League is awarded to "the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability during the season." The winner also gets $1,000 from the league, writes Webb Morse, Sports Editor of the Christian Science Monitor. It is probably o more than w talk, but the Associated quotes George (Punch) Imlach of the ‘Toronto Maple Leafs as saying, following the When we crawled through a hole in the ivy and entered the Boston University building at Boylston and Clarendon Streets Joe went upstairs to enroll for his courses; I was left alone at the door to locate Professor Hoffâ€" man. I found the proper room on the ground floor, and got into line. When it came my time to sign, the Professor lookâ€" ed up and blinked. Then he looked away, looked back, and blinked again. He couldn‘t beâ€" lieve his eyes. He had seen me in Boston only a few weeks beâ€" fore with The Greenwich Vilâ€" lage Follies He couldn‘t underâ€" stand why I was posing as a college student. He thought it was some sort of gag. I explainâ€" ed my presence by saying that I came from Boston and couldn‘t be traveling around the country in show business making gramâ€" matical errors in other cities that would reflect on the high culâ€" tural standards of Boston‘s eduâ€" cational institutions. ‘The Prof. fortunately had a good sense of humor. After learning that I had only graduated from high school, he said that permitting me to enroll for his course would be highly irregular. However, he added, if I really wanted to spend six weeks studying, he would permit me to join his class as a stowaway. â€" From "Much Ado About Me." by Fred | Allen. | ‘The summer 1 returned fro The Greenwich Village WJ; spent in the hands of another professor. It happened in this way. Joe Kelly, the only fellow I knew in our neighborhood who was going to college, worked during his vacations as a lifeâ€" guard at Carson Beach. When 1 came home every year, Joe would let me row the lifeguard boat to enable me to get a good tan in a hurry. In June, 1925, when I came back from the Fol:â€" lies, Joe told me that this year he couldn‘t take the lifeguard post; he had to take a summer course at Boston University to make up some credits. He sugâ€" gested that I take a summer course, too. It sounded interestâ€" ing. I wasn‘t much of a scholar; it had almost taken extradition papers to get me out of the High School of Commerce. ‘The subâ€" sequent years I had spent in vaudeville and in shows, I had never been to college; I didn‘t need any credits; I hadn‘t been near a school for fourteen years. All my qualifications were negaâ€" tive, but, after looking over the Boston University catalogue and selecting a course that was given by Professor William C. Hoffâ€" man and included English Vocaâ€" bulary, Rhetoric, Oratory, Public Speaking, and a few other subâ€" jects, I agreed to, accompany Joe on enrollment day just to see what would happen. _ Another big reason for Ford‘s current boxâ€"office dominance is that he has appeared recently in several good comedies, and there is no doubt that movie audiences hunger for fun these days. Glenn Ford comedies do particularly well. Why? Unlike the profesâ€" sional gagman movies, Ford inâ€" terpolates credible subjectivity in all he does. As he explained it: "I don‘t pJay it as comedy but as serious drama. Once an actor thinks he‘s funny, he‘s lost the audience. If you examine care: fully each of the comedies I‘ve been inâ€"‘Teahouse of theâ€"August Moon,‘ ‘Don‘t Go Near the Water,‘ ‘Imitation General‘â€"you‘ll find that though the movies are billed as comedies, the leading characâ€" ter is always confronted with a‘ very serious situation. My new picture has the same sort of techâ€". nique. Maybe that‘s my secret." â€"From NEWSWEEK. w A Great Comedian Goes To College "The medium has changed, and possibly that‘s why my career changed too, Hollywood is more and more a director‘s and writer‘s medium, The picture with the bigâ€"name star is no longer an asâ€" surance of success. It‘s now a team effort, and as an actor I‘ve been fortunate to find my place, to fit better into the medium. My approach to making movies is simple as falling off a dolly. I read a script and if 1 can believe in the character and the story line, I do it. If I can‘t, I don‘t." actors in the business now who don‘t have to go to the ‘correcâ€" tive‘ makeâ€"up department early each morning. I wear no makeâ€" up. In that way the lines and flaws in my face show on the screen. This is truth, and people want to see characters on the screen who are real. DRIVE WITH CARE! ‘ After weighing all the claims made on behalf of witches | throughout the centuries, and |the results of laboratory and .ield 1experiments, Vogt and. Hyman can only conclude that "the eviâ€" 1dem-e for (water witching) . . . iis appallingly negative.‘) Still the rod does move, sometimes ‘with a seemingly supernatural |force. Why? Vogt and Hyman ofâ€" |fer a downâ€"toâ€"earth answer: 1Ideomolor action, the body‘s abilâ€" ity to make imperceptible, unâ€" Econscious muscular contractions. _ This portrait of the bogusâ€" check passer was painted by Dr. John MacDonald at the Ameriâ€" can Psychiatric Association meetâ€" ing in Philadelphia. After a study of 300 check offenders in mental institutions and penitentiaries, the University of Colorado psyâ€" chiatrist found that most of them wrote bad checks either "to purâ€" chase friends and demonstrate affluence" or to relieve repressed feelings of hostility. _ Of all U.S. criminals, the proâ€" fessional badâ€"check artist | is probably the most dapper. Beâ€" tween 25 and 40 years of age, he is apt to sport a lodge emblem or a respectable club‘s badge in the lapel of his conservative suit. He is also likely to be highly inâ€" telligent. When 50 convicted check forgers were given IQ tests, 42 per cent scored higher than 110, which is the IQ of only 25 per cent of the general populaâ€" tion. But he is also likely to be a man driven by a "deepâ€"seated feeling of insecurity." Water witching, dowsing, diâ€" vining, although its name may vary, the mysterious scene deâ€" scribed above may be repeated any day, this week by any one of the 25,000 water finders now pracâ€" ticing in the U.S. How these ‘magical divinators" are able to prosper in a country that prides itself on its technological . adâ€" vances is the subject of a fasciâ€" naiing new study just published by Evon Z. Vogt, associate proâ€" fessor of anthropology at Harâ€" vard, and Ray Hyman, psycholoâ€" gist and consultant to the Genâ€" eral Electric Co. Clutching the Yâ€"shaped tree limb in his workâ€"hardened hands, the weatherâ€"beaten mar in faded blue overalls paced the pasture His head was bent forward, eyes focused as in a trance. Suddenly. the branch quivered, then whipâ€" ped downward so violently the bark peeled off in his hands. "Dig here," the man told the pasture owner, pocketing the $25 fee. "and you‘ll find water." The hands that hold the rod. however, need not be those of a charlatan. 7 :e witch‘s grip is the key to movement. According to Vogt and Hyman, four slight changes (ease the grip. rotate wrists, move hands together or apart) can cause the rod to move by "creating greater tension in the rod than in the force of the grip." This comes about because it is almost impossible for anyâ€" one to hold the forked branch for 30 minutes or so without slightly relaxing or tightening his grip The balance is upset, and the rod "acts like a coiled spring . . ." Since a little water always will show up in areas where witches operate when the well diggers hit the water table, the "magic‘ of witching is perpetuated. And as a Nebraska county agriculâ€" tural agent told the authors: ‘"Farmers drilling an irrigation well feel that the . . . $25 fee is so small compared with the $3,000 to $15,000 investment that they do it even if they aren‘t sold on it."â€"From NEWSWEEK.

"I don‘t think he should be so cudâ€"happy," Senator Scoit complained. And he fired back at Senator Douglas, who showered Capitol Hill with a virtual snowstorm of popcorn all day: ‘This all came about because a garden club in suburban Falis Church,\ Va., heard about the national flower debate and got into the act. It borrowed the Senate caucus room and invited the legislators to hold forth on the merits of their choices. Bometime the Congress will get around to declaring a naâ€" tional flower maybe. Senator Hugh Scott of Pennâ€" sylvania, who wouldn‘t hear a word against roses, stomped in turn on Senator Morton‘s reâ€" veries of blueâ€"grass. to just plain grass, preferably Kentucky grass, plowed under the corr. tassel: "A purely male plant . . . What are we going to do â€" lose the women‘s vote?" Senator Thruston B.

"Distinctively _ American â€" in origin," said the senator, senaâ€" torially. Carnations are the most pracâ€" tical for corsages, contended Representative William H. Ayres of Ohio, and besides the rose is often tied in with trouble. ‘Tis frequent in a flower store, he said, that "a man comes in and says. ‘Give me a dozen roses quick. Mama‘s mad again.‘" Then rose Senator Paul H. Douglas of Illinois, a diehard supporter of the corn tassel as the American flower. Something like this aroma of confusion arose from the U.S. Senate Office Bldg. in the wake of a mock hearing on a question which stirs many a gardener: What should be the United States national flower? Three senators and a House member took part in the deâ€" bate, You never saw such furiâ€" ous lobbying. Carnations were pinned on you when you enterâ€" ed, whether you like it or not.

It‘s not a bit too early, even in the north, to start thinking about canning, or freezing if you have a freezer. Rhubarb, strawâ€" berries, peas â€"they‘re available in southern states already, and will be with us farther north in just a few weeks. Now‘s the time to check jars and tops, to see whether you need any new equipâ€" ment. Experts say that canning a few jars at a time is not only less tiring, but you‘re likely to have better success with your handiwork,‘ too. _ A halfâ€"pint tapered jar which first came on the market two or three years ago is by far the nicest container ever invented for homemade jellies and jams. many think. It is also fine for relishes, or for any small quanâ€" tity you wish to preserve! These jars seal air tight with regular dome, twoâ€"piece, metal caps, and no paraffin is ever needed. Jelly can also be turned from the jars just as from any ordinary jelly glass. If you once use these iars, the chances are you‘ll never go back to fussing with paraffin. Another way of saying the same thing is that over 20 milâ€" lion women did home canning last year. And interestingly enough, nearly 30 per cent of them were urban dwellers, as contrasted with rural. The. economies inherent in canning are considered the main reason for its pop\&larity â€"â€" but there‘s another. One young man was talking one day recently about signs of spring, and he mentioned his rhubarb patch. He said his wife cans many quarts each year, and during winter months makes them into pies or sauceâ€"the latter served with hot cream of tartar biscuits, he exâ€" plained.
