By INEZ GERHARD Released by WNU Features. J OHN PAYNE so enjoyed making his first western. "El Paso,’' that he'd like to make more. Says it’s the healthiest branch of pic ture making,, out in the open all day: “I all but slept with my horse.” However, there was nothing pleasant about the big fight in a sand storm so realistic JOHN PAYNE that it was impossible to see more than a few feet ahead. Payne said he killed the wrong man four times. In his next for Pine-Themas he will work four days ic vater— and he looks foiwaru to it. Soon after reaching New York he phoned 3s California home; his thr“^-year-old daughter got on the line and sang “Happy Birthday” him, all the way through. . * After six years as announcer on "We, the People” Dan Seymour has become master of ceremonies, the job he holds on "Sing It Again.” He will still announce “The Al drich Family” and “Aunt Jenny” —has been a top-flight announcer for years. Melvyn Douglas has had dis tinguished careers as a theatrical producer, army officer, (he fought in both World Wars) and actor on both stage and screen. After fin ishing "My Own True Love” at Paramount with Phyllis Calvert, he came to New York to do his first play in some years, “Two Blind Mice”. The Douglas family is a bit scattered at the moment; Helen Gabagan Douglas, congress- woman, is in Washington, the three young Douglases, 15-21, are still in California. * Paul McGrath, “John Wayne” on CBS “Big Sister," like Doug las juggles two careers. He may be a hero on the air, but he is practising to be a villain at the moment, preparing 1 -for his role in Clifford Odets’ new play, “The Big Knife.” * On the set of Samuel Goldwyn’s “Roseanna McCoy” Marshall Thompson was displaying the wed- • ding ring he'd bought for Barbara Long. He was hoping to finish his sequences in the picture before the wedding day, so they could honey- /noon in Mexico. “But I’ll prob ably have to hang around,” he prophesied gloomily. “I get killed in the last reel.” * Also in “Roseanna McCoy” you’ll see Raymond Massey gallop up to a log cabin on horseback, to be greeted by Aline MacMahon. That scene had to be re-shot because the horse looked too rested—had to be lathered with shaving soap! Lon McAllister hesitated about ordering meat for luncheon—said he’d beer’ making too many animal pictures lately. And his next for Eagle-Lion will keep him in the rut; an Irish setter is featured. In New York in connection with his latest, “The Big Cat,” he stood out as one Hollywoodite who does not want to go on the stage; says he’s afraid of visual audiences. That seems a shame; Lon is a good-looking young fellow, with great (and unconscious) charm. For one hour and a half the pretty girl and the handsome young man kissed each other linger ingly, while lights were set and cameras adjusted. Then they left, separately. Just stand-ins for Ron ald Reagan and Patricia Neal in “John Loves Mary.” Jimmy Durante says he will make personal appearances in London’s Palladium Theatre after taking his annual summer vacation from radio. Meanwhile television executives are trying to lure him into doing his famous vaudeville act for them. ODDS AND ENDS . . . BasU Ruysdael, who went to Hollywood to retire from radio announcing, plays an admiral in “Task Force” . . . Patricia Neal is proud of getting Laurence Olivier’s auto graph, in London . . . Will Cary Grant regret saying “Betsy Drake’s movie contract was strictly busi ness, as far as I’m concerned” . . . Ann Blyth has the top feminine role in Universal-International’s “Desert Legion,” the story of Palestine. THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C- WomaiVg World Restyling Helps Add Interest When You Tire of Clothes By Ertta Haley A BOUT This TIME of year, al most every woman can hardly wait for the new season’s clothes to come out, and at the same time she has tired of clbthes she’s been wear ing since last fall. The answer to this problem is some simple restyling on clothes of which you have tired. Restyling does not involv<j any suclx, extensive job as remaking a dress or hat completely. It simply means that you add some new touches to the clothing that you have to wear for a few months longer. A new set of collars and cuffs, a bit of hem interest, a new set of buttons, a fresh yoke or plastron on a dress are refreshing and will add new life and interest to many gar ments. Or, ctemge the cuffs on a pair of fabric gloves by adding a dash of color. For a piece of fine veiling on a hat, substitute a piece of coarsely textured material and see how de lighted you will be. Dramatic buttons on a weary suit guarantee new interest. Some clip- on jewelry for your hand bag makes it almost new! These are all simple restyling tricks, but they will lift any wardrobe out of the doldrums until you can don lighter, gayer things of the new season. Do Cleaning, Repairs Before Restyling You will be both surprised and de lighted at how much life you can bring to clothing with proper clean ing. Much of the original texture and shape of the garment can be restored to dresses, sweaters, hats and coats when dirt and grime are displaced. Wash those pieces which are guaranteed washable, and clean or have cleaned those which require it. Repair buttons, snaps, zippers and other parts of the garment which need it. If the garment still does Add a new yoke not create more o^an interest, em bark on a bit of restyling. Buy or Make Your Patterns Yokes, plastrons, collars and cuffs as well as puffy peplums which are new being used may be cut from tissue paper at home, or purchased if you don’t feel clever about designing them. Check your own sources of mater ials before purchasing any. A bit of precious lace from an old dress or trimming may give you a new Or ruffle to restyle dress. yoke for a dress or collars and cuffs. It’s possible to sew imitation rhinestones into the lace to add glitter and new life to the lace. Old evening apparel often yields a piece of taffeta or net that can be utilized into yokes, collars or cuffs. The new tissue taffeta may be purchased by the yard to add a plastron to the front of a dress. Almost any type of material can be used to add a portrait ruffle neck- Be Smart! Come what may in hat fash- inons, there’s always at least one small hajr' that you’ll cling to for all sorts of occasions. This sea son it’s likely to be a pretty beret. Not just any beret will do, for it must be a very smart one such as the jade genius highlighted with brown mesh as shown in the sketch. It’s fastened underneath a young chin with a soutache frog. Empire Waistline Fashion interest centers on the softly shirred empire waistline and the matching three-quarter sleeves in this wool crepe dress designed by Sara Simon. Other good points include the standing np collar, the deep V - neckline and the corded self belt. line to a dress. Make a belt of the same material to hold the dress to gether. Hem interest is still high, and a ruffled or gathered hem may be added to a full, flaring skirt, or a softly gathered one. If you are work ing with the skirt alone, and adding restyling in the form of a new hem to it, carry out the same motif in the pockets, too. If you’re adding the hem to a dress, it’s wise to make a collar and cuffs of the same material as the hem. This forestalls an appear ance of face-lifting, and makes the garment look as though just pur chased. In cases where you have gained or lost weight during the season, the restyling will consist of letting out or taking in a garment. The latter is an easy matter; the former slight ly more difficult since material may have to be added. For the too tight basic dress, add an inverted panel of trimming and use the same trim on the cuffs. For dresses that have become shorter because you’ve gained weight, a new hem plus collar and cuffs may be added. How to Restyle Torn Blouses There’s a lot of under-arm strain on blouses resulting in tears beyond repair. For the short-sleeved blouse which has tom, full, new sleeves may be added. For sleeves which have tom at the armhole, it’s best to cut down the blouse and make a dickey out of it. For lace which is frayed and shabby at the front of the blouse, carefully rip out the old, and insert some new lace which will match closely that which has been remov ed. Blouses which button down the back, frequently tear at the button holes, or where the buttons are sew ed. This is easily mended by plac ing a long strip of matching mend ing tape on either side, preferably on the button side. Place the tape inside where the fabric will cover it and then sew the buttons on that. It makes a good reinforcing job. • Change your Shabby Accessories It’s a simple matter to buy a new belt or change a tarnished buckle on the old one in preferance to wearing a shabby one. Besides that, a fresh new belt or a reconditioned one will do more for both waistline and dress. Clasps, zippers and trimmings on purses can be changed either by yourself or a repair shop. If a fav orite hand-bag has a worn lining, it’s easy enough to mend it or buy a new piece of fabric to make a fresh one. This adds greatly to the life of the purse. Suede and leather cleaners may be used on gloves to good advantage. A stiff-bristled brush used on a suede bag will bring new life to it. Try a brisk brushing, too, on a felt er suede hat and see how well the nap conaes up in it. Many hats need nothing more to restore them than thorough brushing which will rid them of several month's accum ulation of dust that dulls their color. For hats which have been caught too frequently in rain and snow, do or have done, a re-blocking job. With a change of veiling in addition to this, hats will become practically new. ,SHOIITSf0l?y Money For Love By LOUIS CUNNINGHAM • ‘/"’IRL reporters are the bunk,” growled Harrftnan, the crime expert, in the news-room of the Comet. The pulsing presses that shook the building getting out the last edition brought the toilers under the eye-shades a pleasurable sense of rest after hard work well done. It was the acceptable time for airing theories and grievances. “As I was saying,” continued Harriman, “women in journalism and men in dress making are one and the. same. Now if Brickley, ordinarily a half- intelligent city editor, had shown any sense, we wouldn’t be having this Alicia Delano around, making the newsroom a place where you can’t swear and . . “Crab!” interrupted Dale Harmsworth, a fresh young report er. Dale had known Harriman long enough to be in proper awe of the great man. But Dale had known Alicia Delano long enough to be in love with her. Further discussion of Alicia was postponed by the turbulent entry of the city editor, Brickley. His de risive eye swept the crowd. “Well, my merry morons,” he jeered. “Ex tend your cobwebbed ears to this: The Prince Bartholdi, a wealthy Roman, has arrived in this city of sin. He is seeking his daughter, a runaway princess. Seems the lady objected to her father’s idea of a husband. The old boy offers the modest sum of fifty thousand to the one who finds his little Mariana. We’re going to get her for the greater glory of the Comet. It’s a general alarm. Here’s a picture of the renegade.” “What do you think of it, Alicia?" asked Dale, discovering his lovely neighbor and quickly telling her what it was all about. "Fifty thousand dollars!" he sighed. "Just imagine, Alicia, what one could do with that. Why . Later, when he had her alone in the secluded comer of their favorite restaurant, he took a deep breath. “I’m going after that money,” he declared determinedly. “I need it, and if ... if I get it .. . Atycia, darling, have I ever told you that I love you? If I get the money will you . . . marry me?" T HE girl smiled and raised her head. There was something in the warm blue eyes and the set of the lovely mouth, framed by her reddjsh hair, that made the palm ' Minute Fiction “I love yon. Dale,” said AUda, solemnly. tree behind her dance a madrigal before Dale’s dreaming eyes. “I love you. Dale,” said Alicia solemnly. “I will marry you.” Then she twinkled. “Let’s do it right away.” Dale and Alicia were married that week and their radiant young faces in the newsroom advertised their happiness. The marriage, however, they kept secret, although they managed to find a small apartment, to be furnished with their joint savings. But how to keep it was a puzzle, unless Dale dis covered the princess. “It seems a hopeless task, Alicia,” lamented Dale. “Every body’s giving up. This Princess Mariana is the best little hider imaginable." She pulled his ear teasingly. "Don’t worry. Things will look different in the morning.” Alicia was a prophetess. Dale awoke to find a strange girl sitting at the foot of the bed. The morning sunlight was no more golden than her hair. Her eyes danced with mischief. “What . . . what . . . Alicia?” “I told you things would be dif ferent in the morning. But it is still Alicia . . . minus the hair dye . . . Mariana Alicia Delano di Bartholdi . . . Mrs. Dale Harms- worth. My mother was an Amer ican. So I don’t mind if you tell on me now, Dale, but be sure and get the money from dad before you mention that I’m your wife. We need it for our honeymoon.” Released Oy WNU Features. THE Home Touin pgpOPTSP IN WASHINGTON WALTER SMEAD, WNU C Appraisal of Truman I N APRIL of 1945 your Home Town Reporter attended the first press conference given by Harry Truman as President of the United States. Probably more reporters were packed into the oval room at the White House at that press conference than ever before. We wrote, as a result of that conference, our ap praisal of the man and sai(l, “you may be assured that the country is in safe hands,” that “Harry S. Truman is an humble man, God fearing, knowing his capabilities.” “Ofttimes,” we wrote, “the re sponsibilities of the office ol President itself brings out unknown qualities of leadership and states manship in a man elected to that office.” A year later, in May of 1946, we attempted to give you our im pression of the President after his first year in office. We had watched him battle against almost insur mountable odds. That column said — “This reporter believes that in the year the President has been in the White House he has grown —grown as any average American man would have grown. He has built up no halos, no traditions, no myths, no superman, he remains an average American who is growing up to his job.” Today, four years later, we look back upon our first im pression of the President with satisfaction. We believe the country is still In safe hands, that the President is still an humble man, and that the office has brought out those hidden qualities of leadership and statesmanship which the entire nation recognized during his epoch-making presidential cam paign this last fall. We believe he is still growing in stature, growing up to his job. While the President may or may not have proved to business that it has nothing to fear'from his ad ministration if it will keep in step with 1949 instead of 1929, his state of the union message proved beyond doubt that the * President had lost nothing of his “liberal democracy,” that he still felt in his “fair deal” he must carry out the pledge he made to the people in his very fi-st message to congress back in 1945 when he ^aid. “The forward look ing people of America may be assured there will be no relaxation in our efforts to improve the lot of the common people.” • • • The voice was snarling and loud. I held the phone receiver away from my ear as the tirade poured out: “Yes, sure, they’ll ask for postal increases if for no other reason than to punish those news papers who opposed the dirty dog that was selected here. This ad ministration will penalize every body and maybe they ought to. I would like to see about 10 to 20 million of them penalized. I’d like to see that many walking the streets, penniless and hungry. Sure I mean it. The people are not honest They don’t know what’s good for em. They can’t govern themselves. I ought to vote to give ’em every thing this guy wants and then vote against all the appropriations. The people are net interested in any thing you try to do right.” ' That folks, came from a con gressman who got enough votes to be reelected, and he also publishes a newspaper. Insofar as this re porter is concerned, he doesn’t deserve to be either a congressman ar a newspaper publisher. • • • One gentleman in the senate, an able one too, is pretty quiet these days. He hasn’t much to say and says that quietly. He is Sen. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. Remember? He called upon President Truman to resign to make way for a real democrat so the party could be saved. • • • Seeking An Issue Swashbuckling, bumbling Sen. Homer E. Capehart of Indiana is casting about for an issue. He stacked the “jury” in his committee an investigation of the basing point ruling of the interstate commerce commission and the subsequent af firmative decision by the supreme court. So his investigation by the senate small business committee amounted to little or nothing. Now he says that because the demo crats increased the ratio of democrats to GOP on the senate foreign relations committee, bi partisan foreign policy is dead. * * * Another Lobbyist Former Sen. John a Danaher of Connecticut has resigned his position as director of the Re publican senatorial campaign and has again registered as lobbyist for Revere Copper & Brass, Inc. Arthur R. Barnett also has resigned his position with the GOP national com- cittee to re-affiliate as a lobby ist for the National Association of Electric Companies.

Ironing may mat the loops and make the towel less absorbent. —•— In ironing cotton sheets and pillowcases, use warm water for sprinkling because it penetrates the fabric more quickly than cold water. —•— Do not use too hot an iron or use too much pressure when iron ing the folds of sheets. This re sults in weakness at the line of the folds and finally causes crack ing of the sheet along these lines. —•— In removing stains from sheets and pillowcases, special methods should be used for the various types of stains. Lipstick usually comes out when bleached in hot, sudsy water. If it refuses to come out, the stained part should be bleached with hydrogen peroxide or Javelle water. If breakfast-in- bedders have spilled coffee or chocolate!, the spots will usually wash out in hot sudsy water. To remove fruit stains, pour boiling water through the stain.
