HOLLYWOOD, November 28.-
Cranks and not criminals, studio police
and executives agree. threaten all the
Hollywood kidnapings.
It's getting to be old stuff to the
stars, although these same letters
cause young stars parents and stars
who have children to hire bodyguards
and to install elaborate police signal
systems.
The latest scare" an alleged threat
to kidnap 12-year-old Freddie Barthol-
omew, was discounted at M-G-M
studio today "as just another crank
letter." An investigation is being made
by the Department of Justice because,
apparently, similar letters had been
written by the same person. perhaps
to Bartholomew and to others, studio
executive said.
We get so many of these letters that
we couldn't possibly look into all of
them," w. P. Hendry, chief Of the
M-G-M police force said.
Threatening letters are no novelty
at the goth Century-Fox Studio, either,
said William B. Dover, personnel man
ager. Child stars seem to be the most
vulnerable and because Dover's studio
has two, Shirley Temple and Jane
Withers, dozens of these letters are
addressed to their parents every week.
Generally they are harmless" said
Dover. occasionally they 60 so far

There's all kinds of weather signs

deal of fun out of it: rain crow a-holler-
almanac signs-an things like that
but the beatin'est thing anybody ever

studyin' to work outa way to tell how
hot or cold it is by cricket's chirp, UNI
less it gets colder than so degrees, for
when it gets chillier than that crickets
jest don't sing. Nearly everybody knows
that the warmer the weather the faster
a cricket chirps-the way to do is to
take out your watch and count the chirps
in second and add 40 to it, and that's
the temperature.

Ever look in the dictionary and see the

Surely no more colossal ignorance
could exist than some town fellers' sense,
or lack of it, about things in the coun-
try. The other day new neighbor came
to borrow a gun to shoot chimney
sweep that sang all night. 1t was a
hooking bird, and he thought it Chin

ney and sang-and his wife complained
cause the quail walked her up at day
light "Bob-whiting' and called the bull
male ow'-and fused because there
was water in the buttermilk.
Eatin' peas with your knife and usin'
toothpicks maybe amt the best modern
manners, but lot of fellers in the coun-

brains in their head, and know a mock

Truth is there's lot of comfort and
satisfaction in breakin' some of the
rules of etiquette eating chicken with
your fingers and sopping big hot sody
biskits in the gravy, and sucking up"
your coffee like the old folks used to.
May not be just the thing to debut it
