StrOlls Thru HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. II. U.P)-
They love 'em and leave 'em in
the movies, and. sometimes they
kill 'em-but not often. Records
of insurance actuaries show film
people are fairly good risks.
Most of the trouble happens in
personal appearances, shows and
exhibitions, where iron-clad pro-
lection of studio stage sets is not
available.
Tom Mix broke his leg touring
with a circus, Mabel Starke was
clawed by a tiger, and a movie
elephant trainer was tramped to
death in Baldwin Park, but these
happened before audiences in the
flesh.
Alfred Cadona and Lillian Leitzel,
trapeze artists, fell to their deaths
before packed houses, Sylvia Sid
ney, in her stage debut in Wash
ington, D. c., tainted and fell in
the orchestra pit.
Imposing List
Dangers still lurk in corners, but
millions of feet of film have pass
ed over the sprocket since "The
Perils of Pauline" and "T'he Dia-
mond from the Sky" There is, OF
course, an imposing list of actual
screen fatalities
Five aviatorS died making 'Helfs
Angels for Howard Hughes, three
stunters were drowned shooting
rapids in the Yukon for "The Trail
of '98" and Kenneth Hawks, di-
rector, his cameramen and pilot
were killed when his plane crash
ed with another in production.
A woman stuntser was killed
when her parachute didn't open,
filming a Hoot Gibson picture.
Hoot tore the film out of the cam
era SO neWsreelers wouldn't get it.
Animal Risks
And there is Charles Bickford,
claWed twice in a month by jungle
cats. Joe E. Brown once was chew
ed by a lion.
Harry Fonda broke his hand
hlttlng Blckford, ana cary Grant
went to hospital year ago when
setting dropped on him. Gary
Cooper nearly had his arm broken
when ton of gravel fell on him
Randolph Scott accidentally jabbed
bayonet through an EXTRAS cheek
in 80 Red the Rose"
And then there was the celebrat-
ed case of the European filmers
who saw an American thriller in
which an engineer dashed into the
path of a speeding locomotive, and
snatched up girl. The film was
run backwards, of course, the en-
gineer actually running out and
laying the girl on the tracks.
Fatal Mistake
The foreign film folks tried il
the way il looked on the screen
and lost a leading lady.

Bidding went: South, Spade;
West, 2 Diamonds; North, 3 Clubs;
East, 3 Hearts; South, 3 Spades;

score it was almost certain that the
side obtaining the contract would be
forced to overbid, as being cheaper
than allowing opponents to walk
away with an easy rubber.
AS defenders, either side has four
defensive tricks, with the simplest
sort of strategy. North and South
can win two defensive tricks in
spades and two in clubs. East and
West can win two defensive tricks
in hearts and 40 in diamonds. Just
3-odd can be made at either spades
or hearts, but note what happened in

PROFESSIONALISM
IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Hardly a football season goes by with
out a discussion, one way or another, OF
proselyting subsidizing and profession
alism in college football. The dormant
topic has been famed to new fever
pitch by the case of Ted Key of L. c. L..
A. who is not Ted Key at all, but Clos
Key He played out his eligible years at
a Texas college as Clois Key, then enter
ed the California school under his broth
er's name and with his brothers credits
His football experience, needless to say
made him a valuable part of the Uclan
football machine.
No blame attaches to the school, When
the fraud was discovered, university au-
thorities did all in their power to cor
rect it. Key was discharged not only
from the football team, but from school.
There was no way the affair could have
been forestalled. 1t is obviously impos-
sible for university the size of the Uni
versity of California at Los Angeles to
investigate in detail every student en-
rolled, or even every man who goes out
for football. Routine methods are fol-
lowed. U. C. L. A. cannot be blamed be-
cause one man succeeded in deceiving its
officials.
1t is not true that blame cannot be at
tached to others. First among them is
Key himself Certainly the spirit which
should motivate amateur sports, and
college sports most of all, was lacking
in Keys action. Football should at
tempt to build up the spirit of sports
manship, as we'll as to furnish an income
for the colleges and amusement for thou
sands. In Keys case, it quite evidently
failed to do so. There was no tinge of
craftsmanship in his actions.
Equally deplorable is the rush of pro-
fessional promoters to capitalize on the
unfortunate situation. Moving pictures,
boxing and wrestling arenas and profess
sional football teams are seeking Keys
services. not because of any innate ability
of his. but because of the prominence
given his name in publicity attendant up
on discovery of his fraud. Yet Key is
given the opportunity to make money out
of his escapade. For the good of amateur
sports, if not for his own good, Key should
be man enough to turn down the offers.
1t is lucky for collegiate football that
Keys deception was discovered. The eX-
ample surely should deter others from
following the same practice, unless the
unscrupulous merely seek notOriety. If
they do, the offers Key has received will
make the practice even more popular.
In that event, colleges can do only one
ng-investigate down to the mlnutest
detail the personality and history of each
man on the football team. Necessity for
such investigation would not speak high
ly of Americas college students
Clean amateur sports are possible only
through participation of clean, sports
manlike players.

The Editor
Worcester Democrat,
Pocomoke City, Md.
Dear Sir:
AS County Health Officer, 1 wish
to offer the public the following in
formation concerning the Community
Sanitation project which is being mi
tiated in Worcester County, under
the Works Progress Administration
The purpose of this project is two
fold; namely, to create worthwhile
work for the unemployed persons, but
primarily to improve the health of
this community, and all others COOP
Grating in the work, by the eradica-
ton of the deplorable conditions now
existing because of filthy outdoor tot
lets.
It is the object of those directing
the Sanitation Project to replace the
present insanitary privies in this
County with modern sanitary privies
that meet the requirements of both
State and Federal authorities. The
specifications of the plans being used
call for a concrete sanitary unit,
properly fitted into an approved type
of building, and set over a five-foot
earth pit, that is constructed so as to
be free from surface drainage and
safe from flies and rats. This type
of sanitary privy, approved and re-
commended by the United States Pub
lie Health Service, is being used in
the Community Sanitation Project in
twenty-five States of the Union.
The Sanitation program will bene-
fit every person in this County, for
with the elimination of the old type
of germ-breeding, open, or shabbily-
built pit privy, the typhoid and diar-
rhea rates for Worcester County are
sure to be lowered. Statistics show
that this County has reason to be con-
cerned over this very item, and it
will be to the interest of the entire
community to push the work as far as
possible.
The property owner who is now
maintaining an old type outdoor
toilet on his premises is harboring
a potential source of danger and in
lection for every person in the Coun-
ty, including himself. He is catering

to the abominable fly and it's con-
slant spread of germs, and contami-
nation of everything with which it
comes in contact. He is endangering
the lives of innocent babies, respec-
table and important business men,
law-abiding and civic-minded citizens,
the stranger who happens to visit the
community, and, in fact, any one with
in the limits of disease communica-
ton.
The Sanitation program will furnish
such a property owner an excellent
opportunity to sanitate his present
privy or to construct a complete new
approved privy at nominal cost. In
my opinion, there will probably never
be another community interest that
surely must abide in the heart and
mind of any such person.
I heartily indorse the Sanitation
Program for this community and
County, and urgently request the CO.
operation of the citizens as whole,
and especially of those persons who
have outside toilets on their premises.
Persons desiring the construction of
a sanitary pit privy on their property
should write or see the County Health
Officer in Pocomoke, or the Super
visor of the Project, Mr.. Herbert
Meiser of Stockton.
Your very truly,
Bradford Massey, M. D.,
County Health Officer.

TO THE CITIZENS OF WORCES-
TER COUNTY:

TER COUNTY:
The Works Progress Administration
has approved the so-called "Commun-
ity Sanitation Project" and have al
loted the amount of $11 100000 to put
this Project into effect in Worcester
County.
This Project will make work for
men and at the same time help the
citizens, in the rural sections to in
stall equipment so that the household
sewage may be disposed Of in more
sanitary manner.
Health authorities inform us that
much sickness and death is traceable
to improper sewage disposal, in the
poorly constructed open back surface
privies and therefore, we urge that
the public cooperate with this Pro.
ject and make arrangements through
the County Health Officer to have
the improved sanitary privies install
