"A YHEN you see "Rio Rita" you'll see
w Kathryn Grayson. And when you
w see Miss Grayson you'll be looking
at tailor made star. She got there quickly:
Kathy was l6, a student at Los Angeles
high school, when an M-G-M executive
heard her sing at music festival. She had
a one-in-a-million voice. But nothing else
that no average, pretty school kid didn't
have. The executive was smart: she had the
talent; Hollywood's star-building machine
could supply the rest. From then on she
was laboratory product.
The studio left nothing to chance. She
was signed to contract but for full year
and half she didn't step on set M-G-M
spent the l8 months in one of the best
examples of star-grooming on record: voice
lessons, drama coaching, diction, messages,
diets, exercises. At the end of year. she
saw a camera for the first time. But it was
only screen test. The moguls looked at
it. were pleased by the results, but decided
to take no chances: she went back for six
more months of preparation. More special
gowns designed by Adrian to show her off
best. More lessons in how to sit, walk, use
the hands, enter room, dance, run.
Then, little over year ago, the boys
were ready. They gave Kathryn role and

three musical numbers in ANDY Hardy's
Private Secretary" You saw it = saw and
heard her? Well, it worked out just as
they'd figured. Critics - professional and
otherwise - thought she was wonderful:
a new Deanna Durbin, young Jeanette
Macdonald, piles of folding money at the
ticket window.
She doesn't look much like a movie
gal. She has one of those ski-slide noses
- which looks good on her. She has
fine, dark-brOwn hair which doesn't
take to curls, and a figure which she
has to he careful about. But all the de-
tails merge nicely. Her voice is gilt
edged dividend. Most of her training
came off phonograph records.
She doesn't worry about clothes: favorite
costume is too-long sweater and pair of
faded slacks She wears them when she takes
her three cocker spaniels - Hinky, Dinky
and Parlez-Vous - for a walk. She also
has two shepherd dogs - Itch and Scratch.
Her pet exercise and relaxation is eating.
She does that we'll. She now hits the scales
at l2O. Height: five, three She gained two
of those inches since signing her contract
Miss Grayson is now all set Anybody
who sings - and looks - like kathy
should be. - JERRY MASON

PRESIDENT APPOINTS
PHILLIPS FOR INDIA

Washington - President Roose-
welt has appointed William Phil
lips, one of this country's out
standing diplomats, to represent
him in troubled India as his per
sonal envoy with the official tt
tie Of ambassador.
The demands of MOhandas K.
Gandhi and other Indians for in
dependence from Great Britain
have led some prominent Ameri-
cans outside of official life to sug-
gest that the United States medl-
ate in the situation, but there
was no indication what Phillips
instructions were on that ques-
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt said Phillips
is taking to New Delhi no special
plan or formula for the solution
of the Indian problem.
The appointment of personal
representative was the closest the
president could come to sending
an ambassador to country
which has no sovereign status. In
this capacity Phillips appoint
ment is not subject to confirma-
ton by the senate.

DIR. Mcdonald To
Heads I11fantile
Paralysis Fund

Ralph Mcdonald, Winston-Sa-
lem, will lead North Cardinals
1943 fight against infantile paral-
ysiS in the annual Embarrassing
campaign which eliminates in the
Celebration of the Presidents
Birthday on January 80.
The selection of Mcdonald was
announced December 10, by Ba-
sill O'Connor, president of the Ma
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. The initial salvo in
the 1943 drive against the pow
erful enemy on the home front
was fired two weeks ago when
O'Connor received the authori-
cation of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt for the use of his birth
day as the keynote date in the
battle against infantile paralysis.
Mcdonald, the new North Car
DINA chairman, is Associate Di-
rector of the Extension Division
at the University of North Caro-
lima, and has been outstanding in
establishing educational services
throughout the state. At one
time victim of prolonged illness,
he has for several years been a
leader in behalf of those stricken
by infantile paralysis and other
dread diseases.
Plans of chairmen and other
leaders in the United States and
the Possessions for a fast-moving
January appeal are farther ahead
at this point than in former years,
according to D. Walker Wear, di-
rector of organization for the Ma
tional Foundation.
State Chairman Mcdonald
stressed the increased demands
on the Foundation whose 1900
chapters swiftly aid victims of
infantile paralysis without re-
gard to race. creed or color.
More than a million dollars were
spent by the Foundation in grants
and appropriations during the
fiscal year ending September 30.
This sum exceeds the amount re-
ceived by the Foundation in any
one year, except 1912, through
the nationwide Celebration of
the Presidents Birthday, McDon-
aid pointed out.

OLDER MEN MAY BE
CALLED IN HOME GUARD

Philadelphia, Dec. Is - Col.
Henry F. Rhodes, regional field
officer of the selective service
and the war manpower commits
sion, predicted this week that
men over 38 years of age and
capable of military service may
be indicted into a home guard
within the next six months.
In an address to the Eastern
Pennsylvania Association of Fore
mems clubs, Col. Rhodes said that
although the new policy of the
combined selective service-war
manpower commission was still
undecided as far as public infor-
nation was concerned colder men
are going to be called to war"
ITO date" he said, American
engagements with the enemy
have been mere skirmishes and
losses have not been great
The next six months, he declar-
ed, twill tell the story as to
whether or not men between the
ages of 38 and As who are capable
for military duty will be induct-
ed into a home guard"

Conservation
Farming News

Farmers who have been most
successful in establishing kudzu
have found that through land
preparation, we'll in advance of
planting, helped to get good
stands. Land prepared in the
fall or early winter was we'll
settled when the plants were set,
an important factor in getting
good results with this fast-grow-
ing plant.
In preparing land, pillow deep
burrows Is feet apart and apply
one ton of manure and 200
pounds of superphosphate per a.
ere in the burrows. Then throw
additional burrows to the row to
form a broad, flat bed approx
mately 10 feet wide, and allow to
settle until planting time.
If the beds have not settled suf-
ficiently by then, it will be nee
essary to harrow, or roll, or 9TH
erwise firm the ground to pro-
duce firm bed. Plants set out
in loose soil, often dry out and
die.
With a never increasing en-
phasis on the production of food
crops, the demand for kudzu
planting stock by Ashe farmers
is expected to exceed that of any
previous years. Added to that is
the possibility that the supply OF
plants may be limited. For these
reasons, it is important to take
every precaution to see that
plants set out this spring survive
Mr.. A. L. Dancy, whose farm
is located in the Nathan's Creek
community, secured an excep-
tionally good stand of kudzu last

Morgenthau And Doughton
Spoke In WinstOn-Salem, Sat.
Congressman DoughtOn De-
clared AS "NOrth Cardinals
Number One Citizen

Winston-Salem Crowding
the flag-decked banquet room tc
the walls, 430 men and women
from throughout the state gath
cred here Saturday night to hear
and honor two of the nations
foremost experts in the field
which hits them hardest: taxa
ton.
They had only the creates
praise for the two men who dc
more than any others to shape
the course of taxation in the u
nited States: Henry Morgenthau
Jr., the secretary of the Treasury
and Congressman Robert L
Doughton, of Laurel Springs
chairman of the House ways and
means committee, wherein is or
iginated the nations tax laws.
There was nothing stingy, cit
her. about that audience. They
were representatives of North
Carolina industries which are do
ing their part to help finance the
treasury, having secured partici-
patton of at least 80 per cent .o1
their employees in the pay roll
savings plan. They were leaders
in the war savings campaign, too
workers in the drive to raise
money to fight the war.
They cheered the address OF
Morgenthau, who told them how
the war bond program was pro-
crossing, and applauded loudly
the talk in which Doughton de-
clared that ''in my own humble
judgment, we should pay for as
much of the cost of the war as
we can in taxes" and that al
though taxes are heavy. I'VE
know they should be heavy-as
heavy as can be devised short OF
strangling enterprise or shatter-
ing sound economic stability"
Robert M. Hanes. presiding as
postmaster, paid tribute to the
two honor guests in assertions
that the job faced by the famous
secretary of the Treasury, Alex
ander Hamilton, was "child's
play" compared with the task
which Morgenthau is handling
and that there is nothing mar
row. bigoted or intolerant in the
life" of Congressman Doughton.
