 Hollywood.-Foreigners arriving in Hollywood are faced with the tick fish alternative of becoming either stars or failures.
 Nobody seems to know why there is no middle ground, why a player who falls short of stellar ranking may not remain to play character roles and second leads capably and prof1tably. But that's the way it is; they can't get jobs.
 Such a situation, though, is the very reason why studios are counting on a large proportion of their imported glamorists to suc- ceed. Most of them will work harder than young American ac- tresses would dream of working. They have everything to win and everything to lose. To understand the determina- tion of some of these people you should knew about Ilona Massey. Miss Massey was that shapely. beautifully cOiffed-and- gcwned creature who warbled in "Rosalie." Also, not so many years ago, Miss Massey was an Hungarian peasant.
 She Wanted to Sing

FAMOUS AIRLINER TO OPERATE

Johnny Stevenson, pilot and in

Kirkpatrick and his trio-motOred
Ford airliner to carry passengers

time. But for some unknown rea-
son the pedestrian who gets behind
the wheel of a motor car forgets that
just a few minutes before, he was a
pedestrian and Immediately adopts
the impatient viewpoint of the motor
car driver who thinks that pedes-
trians have no place except on the
sidewalk and that they should never
cross streets or highways and that
any vehicle on the highway has the
right of way at all times and at all
places.
From the safety standpoint wheth
er. this viewpoint is right or wrong
really doesn't make any difference
for we all know that in a collision
between a motor car and a human
being the motor car has weight and
the strength Of metal on its side and
the human being always gets the
worst Of 1t. So we should give our
whole thought to how we can avoid
being struck or running into a motor
car Of any size, shape or description.
Every pedestrian should know the
safety suggestions for people walk
ing on the streets and highways.
They should always cross streets and
highways only at regular intersec-
tions and should never cross be-
tween blocks. II the pedestrian
would follow this simple rule each
time he or she crossed street and |
would live up to it without deviation |
and in addition after looking-never
to buck any approaching |
the number OF pedes-
trians killed each year would be cut
to such an extent that the value Of
the rule would quickly prove itself.

MILFORD n. F. A. PLANS BUSY
YEAR

Milford N. F. A. boys of the Mil
ford ColOred School, had some new
and helpful experiences this sum
mer.
On several occasions during the
last three months these N. F. A.
boys have helped caponfze many
cockerels for farmers and patrons
Of the vicinity. They received only
the theoretical part of the operation
in their poultry course last spring.
Now that they have had the actual
experience of capOnizing-as they
watch the capons develop and their
value increase; these boys will get
a better conception of why agricul-
ture is being taught in our schools
today. II the families to which these
boys belong can not afford a turkey
for Christmas they can have a capon
raised on their own farm.
Milford N. F. A. boys have also
had many exercises in the prepara-
tiOn and spraying of vegetables as a
protection against insects.
They will have a larger room for
their agricultural classroom and
laboratory work this coming school
year. This will be a great asset to
the department because it will pro-
vide better conditions for them to
work in; thus causing more inter-
est and better work.

cultural instructor left with ten
