Presbyterians
Will Celebrate
Holy Communion
The First Presbyterian church,
announces the celebration of the
Communion for the regular service
today at 11:15 a. m. Due to the un
usual discomfort of the weather the
service will be briefer than is cus
tomary, members of the official
body of the church stated yester
day.
In recognition of the patriotic
sentiments of the season special
prayers for the nation and for
world peace will be offered, it is
understood.
Beginning the service with the
organ prelude, “Canzona” by Bach,
Edwin D. Clark, organist and di
rector of Music Education for the
church will conduct the chancel
choir in singing an anthem, “If
Ye Love Me,” composed by Tallis,
and will play, “O Sacred Head
Now Wounded,” by Brahms, for
the offertory on the Sprunt Memo
rial organ.
The service will he concluded
following the celebration of the
sacrament by the singing of the
communion hymn in use by the lo
cal congregation for several gener
ations, a composition by Bonar be
ginning with the words “Too soon
we rise, the symbols disappear.”
POUCE SET ’EM UP
REVERE, Mass. (U.P)—■'William
Wall, desk officer, estimates that
metropolitan policemen spend an
average ot $5 during the summer
for lollipops for children who get
lost at Revere Beach.
Tests show that where corn was
grown three years in succession
on a nine per cent slope, 37,320
pounds of soil per acre was lost
annually by erosion.
European Director Says
Americans Aren't Actors
HOLLYWOOD, July 5 —^—Di
rector Fritz Lang has just discov
ered what he likes about Euro
pean actresses.
“These foreign women,” says
Fritz, who hasn’t been in this
country long enough to lose his
accent, “can act.”
If you think Fritz is implying
that the American variety can’t*
act, you’re exactly right.
“Take Lana Turner, Gene Tier
nay and Ann Sheridan,” says
Fritz.
Any one of the tnree, r r;tz
continues, "could ao just as well
as any of the other two in any
-ole any of the girls has played.
What I mean is, their acting is
completely stylized. It isn’t act
ing. They just go through picture
after picture, playing the same
kind of glamor girl.
"After a while, they lose their
Individuality and don’t even try to
act.”
Fritz believes foreign actresses
auch as Deborah Kerr, Celia
Johnston, Valli, etc., will become
jreat stars for two reasons:
"First, they have a certain
fteshness that is hard to find un
der the Hollywood conditions of
life. Second, they have an old
fashioned idea that an actress
should be able to act.
“Look at Mariene Dietrich. Sbe
was a great actress. She remain
ed a star until Hollywood Ameri
canized her. The instances are
countless. No use naming any
more names.”
“I’ve insulted enough people for
today,” concluded Fritz. “Now, go
away and let me think what I
can do to make some of these
American actresses act.”

working for buttons, comparative
ly speaking, but only because of
a contract he signed four years
ago when he couldn't do any bet
ter.
Ginger is getting $450,000 for up
to 80 days work in the picture.
Wilde is getting about $400,000
less for the last of a four-picture
deal with the studio.
The studio could pay Wilde
more. It isn’t broke. If it weren’t
for the contract, it would have to
nav about six times as much' as
it is for Cornel's services.
As a matter of fact, it has mon
ey to burn. ‘‘Gilda" already has
grossed $9,000,000, and "The Jol
£On Story” will gross even more.
When one executive balked at Gin
ger’s asking price, a super-execu
tive barked: "So what difference
does it make whether we pay Gin
ger $100,000 to $500,000? If me
don’t give it to her we give it to
the government. She’s doing us a
favor by taking over part of our
income tax worries.”
As for giving Cornel a little bit
more of the gravy—that would be
unheard of.
That ain’t the way they do busi-:

Garden Furniture
CANVAS PAINT . . . helps dress up an old cot to be used
on the porch or the lawn.
BY VIVIAN BROWN
AP Newsfeatures Writer
There’s nothing so unattractive,
usually, as last season’s garden
furniture. After you drag out your
old wicker chairs, divan swing and
tables, you may decide that what
is wrong with them can’t be solved
with a bucket of water and a
lather of so^>. But you can do
much with paint, a nail here and
there and perhaps some fresh
cushions.
You can get some lovely plastic
coated fabrics with which to re
cover cushions if you like, but if
you haven’t the time to do a re
upholstery job you can get can
vas paint to brighten up faded
and soiled canvas awnings and
cushions. This paint will also come
in handy if you haven’t enough
furniture and need an extra lounge
or two. All you Co is gather up a
few inexpensive canvas cots and
paint them different colors with
your canvas paint.
These new paints come in thir
teen colors including black, white,
and aluminum. All the colors are
sun-resistent and water repellent
and should keep your furniture
pretty in spite of bad weather.
If you’d like to be fancy about
it, paint flowers or other designs
on canvas parasols and furniture.
But allow the background paint
to dry thoroughly before you try
your hand at the designs.
There are so many inexpensive
summer garden chairs that will
serve you well. You can pick up
metal chairs and tables for a
song; gliders are back and those
with wooden slats are inexpensive,
comfortable and lend a decorative
note to the porch or garden.
If you have a terrace to play
wir.h, you can do wonderful
things to it. Besides painting all
the flower pots and awnings in a
bright h '.e, you can bring out an
old dressing table or bureau and
fix it up as a bar or serving buf
fet. If the skirt is made of the
new plastic material you won’t
even have to worrk if it gets
damp and wet once in a while,
and underneath the drawers can
house your terrace pottery and
silver.
The terrace is another spot
where wrought iron chairs and
table serve well. A few hurricane
lamps, which also can be inex
pensive addtions to your recrea
tion budget, are good for windy
or rainy days.

Eight Year Old
Saves Playmate
From Drowning
ATLANTA, July 5— (/P) —Eight
year-old Martha Irene Stiles, who
ignored her own safety when she
heard cries for help, was credited
today with saving a two-year-old
playmate from drowning late yes
terday in a water-filled swer hole.
Police, who termed her act “one
of the most outstanding we ever
encountered,’’ said she rushed to
the saving edge of the poo! and
grabbed the blond hair of little
Linda Ann Bernard, holding her
above water until help came. The
child was revived after 15 min
utes artificial respiration applied
by her frantic father, Sylvester
Bernard.
The baby toddled to the edge of
the sewer hole while others played
nearby, and fell into more than
five feet of water when the bank
caved.
