Screen Stars
Mind Their
Knitting
BY ORRY-KELLY
Famous Hollywood sty list

BECAUSE THE Hollywood
airs. during idle hours on the
It's, have remained true TO their
iirst love. knitting. there are
many fascinating fashions being
constantly turned out. Added
tuel TO enthusiasm are the in
ierestIng and intricate new
Yarns to be bought.
And it's no myth, for your in
formation. that the girls knit to
calm their nerves as we'll as pass
the time while waiting TO go into
a scene. Bette Davis is never
without her needlework. and
since being introduced TO the
pleasures of crocheting for
scenes in The Letter" Bette IS
now doing a good deal of this
work, little things for her home
generally.
A Novelty
Fur yarns are the newest
novelty. These combine shades
TO resemble the markings of fur
and are amazingly like the real
thing. Black and white for
skunk, gray with white for silver
fox. white with brown for
ermine. and so on. Bette has just
completed a boxy jacket in a
gray woody yarn that resembles
Persian lamb. In fact. il is so
like the fur that the star has
been wearing il as an evening
jacket with a gray chiffon gown.
Added dress is achieved in twin
diamond and ruby clips on the
collar.
During the eight weeks of
filming of The Wagons Roll AT
Night. Sylvia Sidney has knitted
a one-piece frock in black with
brief turtle neck. She pins q
sparkling gadget on the bodice
and il makes a very cookbook
ing casual dress worn with or
without a coat.
Scotch Tweed
Anita Louise has searched out
a very subtle Scottish tweed
yarn combining maroon and
gray with a bit of heather blue
for a street length swagger. A
matching knit turban is still in
the making. Because Anita
wanted a bright blue wool lining
TO be more than just a lining she
knitted the coat with very large
needles in an open stitch. Velvety
yarn are also popular for new
scarf and hat sets with the
needle-pliers.

Saginaw Union
Dispute Hearing
Drdgs On

SAGINAW, Dec. pa story OF
many months OF strife and battle
over union affiliation was being
unfolded here today in national
labor relations board hearing in
tended to end the trouble which
kept a picket lire for four weeks
at the Wilcox-Rich plant Of the
Eaton Manufacturing Company.
Starting yesterday morning, the
hearing dragged on into today and
attorneys were doubtful II they
could finish even by working on
through this evening.
William r. Ringer, assistant
chief trail examiner for the NLRB,
said he would return the complete
record of the case to the board and
its decision would be announced in
Washington "in the near future"
REFUSED ELECTION
He came here on appeal of the
UAW-CIO group which once was
refused an election to designate the
bargaining agency in the plant be-
cause of the present UAW-AFL
contract.
Yesterdays story was told by
Go synpathiZers who asserted
that Eaton officials had inserted
a clause in their master contract
holding sway in five other plants
promising recognition of the Go
group in Saginaw when majority
strength was proved, only to later
refuse to cooperate.
I'VE felt that was violation
OF our contract and we started
to strike In the other five plants
until this hearing was granted"
testified Richard E. Reisinger.
international board member and
Cleveland regional representa-
tive.
EMPLOYEES DISCHARGED
He added the company also had
broken faith by discharging en-
ployes during the controversy after
promising not to do so.
Local CLIO members told OF
meetings in which an affiliation
vote was sought but thwarted by
executive board members. They
claimed the present bargaining
contract held by the UAW-AFL
never was ratified by the member
ship and officials of the local failed
to follow the membership dictates
in having a committee prepare for
the affiliation election.
They said some of the meetings
during the past year had been
mot orderly to the extent that
no business was transacted. One
was adjourned when the room be-
came too smoke-filled for habita-
ton. according to Emil Carlson,
ISIS South Webster street.

Lamb Stew,
'DumpIings
For E. V. D.
By PRUDENCE PENNY

NOW THAT we've time to
look around and read our own
newspaper, we note E. v. Dur
ling the day after Christmas is
signing for old fashioned lamb
stew with dumplings. Well, Mr.
Durling here it rs. dumplings
and all, and a few other stews
thrown in for good measure.
Men like 'em, 1t seems.
Either lamb, beef or veal Is
suitable to use in this type OF
dish. Have the meat cut in
cubes about one-inch square. A
brown stew is made by brown
ing the meat, then adding the
liquid, while a white stew Is
made by cooking the meat in
the liquid without browning.
