BEACH WEATHER

When days are clear
 And the sun is hot, And the tide is favorable
 We know a spot Where it's fine to gather
 One and all To answer right away
 The wild waves call. The weather's just right
 For the beach party And a basket lunch
 For the hale and hearty. So let's fill up cars
 And all travel together For a day at the shore
 Now it's beach weather.

HOLLYWOOD, July 31-There's an item in today'S publicity that strikes me as masterpiece of issue lodging" It reads: Determined to circumvent Federal and State cen- Sorship if possible, the motion pie ture industry is now enforcing many self lf-imposed taboos Many of the major studios have voluntarily lim- tied screen kisses to maximum of six seconds in the belief that kisses of longer duration are against the rules of good taste.''
 I'm reminded of the faStidious always made 1t rule to wipe his feet on the victims doormat before breaking the lock and entering the house.
 It's high time for Hollywood pro- ducers to get their heads out of>the sand and realize that the millions of Americans who are protesting against the current epidemic of dis tasteful pictures. are less concerned about the duration of a screen kiss than they are about the implica- tion of the story filmed. Let's take for example a picture now showing ~hich has it's heroine tyou're SUD- posed to admire her) commit a series of robberies and sell herself in mar riage three times in order to sup port a worthless rake whom she loves. Will her character be made more saVory by putting stop watch on her mercenary kisses? I don't think so.
 II looks like Hollywood simply can't cure itself of the impression that We fans have @I2-year- minds.
