HOLLYWOOD X u! !L!::'!!.W
ERCKTNE JOHNSON

But being out of job was no
thing new to young Harvey. Ten
wears ago, after graduating from a
Los Angeles high school, he start
ed knocking on the gates of Holly
wood. Nothing happened.
Finally, he was tested for Will
Rogers's "Ah, Wilderness" But he
was judged too young for the part.
A few weeks later he was tested
tor a Jane Withers picture. This
time they said he was too old.
Three more screen tests later
20th Century Fox signed him for
role in the film, -Four Sons" On
The way to the studio for his first
days work he had an automobile
accident. -Four Sons" went on with
out him.
"By this time," he says, II was
fed up with Hollywood. So I went
To New York to try the stage. I
had just $40. Somebody told me
they wanted juvenile with Texas
accent for a play called Free and
Equal" told 'em, of course, was
from tre south, and put on thick
accent. I got the part but the play
lasted only three weeks in the
sticks and never hit Broadway"
CINEMA CHANCE
To go en- eating this time, he
worked as model, appearing in
hair tonic, soap and toothpaste ads.
Then George Abbott cast him in a
hit Broadway comedy, Kiss and
Tell" a movie scout saw him and
Hollywood's gates, and Betty y
CRADLES arms, swung open.
There's a good chance Harvey
can go on acting. He's 4F-suffers
from recurrent headaches-and is
married. We watched Harvey and
Betty Cradle play love scene for
"Pin-Up Girl" over which some 10
million of his rivals will be mighty
| jealous.
| Director H. Bruce HumerStone
said action" and Harvey and Betty
went into a clinch.
We thought it was rather unnec-
essary for someone to yell action
when a guy has Betty Cradle in his
arms.

Help of Parents Asked in
Preventing Illness

Since colds and symptoms of be-
ginning colds are often the fore
runners of communicable diseases
such as measles, chickenpox,
mumps, scarlet fever, whooping
cough, diphtheria, infantile para
lysis, etc. the schools will continue
the policy of excluding all children
with beginning colds. If the first
day or two is spent in bed the
pupil may return to school the fol-
lowing day in greatly improved
condition. even though he may still
be coughing. "At the first sign of
cold, put the child to bed and
follow your doctors advice" said
Mrs Neal
Imperial Valley press., 1943-09-21

Prevention of illness is one of the
major projects being stressed in
the city schools this year by Mary
Jane Neal, school nurse, since
shortages of doctors and nurses
make maintenance of civilian
health imperative.
For this reason bulletins are
being sent to all parents asking
their cooperation in not only pre-
venting illness by observing all
health rules, but also by keeping
pupils home and at rest when
signs of illness appear.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-09-21
DAY ROOMS

Furnishing of day room for the
men at Camp Seeley is being under
taken by the Camp and Hospital
service committee, said Mrs. Charles
P. Delp, chairman. Desks have been
Euilt, lamps put in. the Red Cross
motor corps is supplying curtains,
iinoleum and the committee will
make slipcovers. Standard ash
trays are needed and anyone hav-
ing any to donate should call Mrs.
Delp. Ceiling and oscillating fans
were provided for the camp by the
citizenship committee of Chevrolet,
for which F. H. Mitchell is chair
man.
Holtville has also furnished a
day room for the Camp Verde men,
Miss Betty Harris, representing the
branch, reported. Coolers, the pri-
mary requisite, were secured first
and furnishings added later.
Revision of the budget to meet
the expanding calls made on the
chapter in the home service divi-
sion was announced. Home service,
the Red Gross work for servicemen
and their families, is growing tre-
mendously and the chapter, under
the Craftsmanship of Mrs. w. A.
Vize is on "a hour call to help when
asked. If a serviceman's family
needs help it is to the Red Cross
that the appeal is made and every
thing, from getting disqualification
for a wife who was taken off a
bus at midnight, desperately i'll, a
stranger in the city, to serving as an
information bureau to the service
men and their families, comes un-
der this heading.
In August Mrs. Vize, Mrs. r. H.
Maddux and Mrs. Celia Powell,
acted on l66 of these cases the
chapter loaning total of $44O.66
with payments on loans amounting
to $2ll40.
The Red Cross Motor corps in
August travelled 1910 miles in
transporting air raid warning OBJ
serbers, with q members putting
in total of 447 hours, Capt. Maude
Schofieid reported.
Proposed amendments to the by
laws were presented by George
Kirk and were discussed at length.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-09-21
INFECTIOUS STAGE

The infectious stage of a cold is
the time during which high fever
sneezing, headache and sore throat
are present. When these have left
the pupil may return to school.
This policy was carried out last
year and experience proved that
isolation and care of beginning
colds has greatly increased the
number of school days and de-
creased the number and spread of
communicable diseases.
Mrs. Neal pointed out that the
war has changed the problem of
children found i'll at school who
heretofore were taken home by the
nurse, the principal or teachers.
/ Principals and teachers now have
no gasoline for that purpose and it
is impossible for the nurse to take
all sick children home. Therefore
| parents are asked to keep their
children home in the morning if
! they have any of the following:
impetigo desert sores) unless
covered pink eye, ringworm (unless
covered, scabies dtch), colds dur
ing infectious stage) or any illness
which would prevent staying
through school throughout the
entire day.
CALL NURSE
If there is any doubt as to
whether the child may attend
school, parents may call the school
nurse between 8 and 8:45 a. m. at
1880, Wilson school, If the child
comes to school and is found to
have condition for which he must
be excluded, the parents must call
for him or he will have to walk
home by himself. For this reason
parents have been asked to list
any available telephone number on
the pupils registration cards.
Permits to re-enter school If the
pupil has been absent are required,
and may be obtained from the
principal if the absence was caused
by non-illnesS and under five days.
For all illnesses, regardless of dura-
ton, and for ali absences of more
than five days, regardless Of cause,
these permits must be obtained
from Mrs. Neal whose schedule has
been included in the bulletin sent
parents SO that they may know
the hours at which she will be at
the various schools.
Parents have been asked to notify
the school at once if the child is
i'll at home, giving the cause of
absence.
Parents are also asked to consult
the family physician and dentist
and to see that their children are
unized wherever possible
against diseases thus cutting down
the number of epidemics.
