Rationing No Drawback to North Carolina Farmer He ain’t worried—no gas, no oil, no tires impede this Appalachian in the pursuit of his weekly grocery buying chore. He hooks his steer to his sled with wooden runners, picks up a smidget of something to eat, and pulls it back to his craggy home. It may be a mite slow, but he doesn’t have to argue with the OPA about it. The North Carolina steer can go wherever a shod animal could climb, and the narrow sled, self-braking, will shame the most prudent wagon on steep slopes.

By VIRGINIA VALE PARAMOUNT’S studio press bureau reported an unusu al number of requests from servicemen to visit the Betty Hutton-Sonnv Tufts sets for “Cross My Heart.” They couldn’t figure out the rea son for that avalanche of requests, till some bright boy came up with the answer. Seems that somebody had announced in print that Betty had posed for photo graphs on the set with two air corps lieutenants, Robert Drew and Bruce Shaw, P-38 pilots stationed at near by Van Nuys—and Betty had sat on one officer's lap while the cameras clicked! -V It all turned out perfectly. A pub licity man introduced Nancy Nor man, pretty singer with Sammy Kaye’s orchestra, and Dick Brown, who’s featured on his own Sunday MBS program; the press agent’s ob ject, a “romance item” that he could send to radio editors (who get awfully sick of those same phoney “romances”!).

Selzniek, is about to send some of his spine-chilling yarns over the airways. "Too many mystery pro grams come on the air asking peo ple to turn out the lights, lock the doors, and prepare to be frightened to death," says he, "when actually nothing takes place that would scare anybody. When my program comes on, it will probably be a failure. While listening, the audience will be come so frightened they likely will turn it off." —-* David O.
