 But the finish of the dinner was pretty daring. The ladies all went to another room and the men gathered around the table while the walters carried out huge ten- foot pie. Then they cut the pie and Eric Johnston stepped out.

Hollywood, Dec. e-tNEA) Holly. wood Is c land of palm trees, drive-in sandwich stands, writers for Bob Hope and girls with convertible tops.
 You think were kidding about the gals with the convertible topsp Well, we aren't And we've got lady with muscles like Joe Louis to prove it,
 The lady Is Hslen Borie, and she gets those muscles converting tops ln the back room at westmore's swank beauty salon. A gal comes in a blonde and goes out a red~head, or vice versa. Gray hair b turned to black, and black to platinum blonde.
 Helen probably gives more duco jobs to feminine mops than any- one else in the world. Her main customers are movie queens.
 They're always changing their minds and the color of their hair, And if they don't change the color of their hair, the studio does"
 Her best customer, Helen said, Is Lana Turner.
 she comes in about every three months with a new idea. One day she came in and said, Helen, how would 1 look with blue hair7 Hon. est--that's what she said
 T told her: Lana, you're crazyr 1 always say what 1 think She gave me an argument but finally agreed with me. We dyed--but to a differ. ent shade of blonde
 EVEN HELEN GETS CONFUSED
 Olga San Juan, though, is giving Lana tough competition in Helen's dye department.
 She made her film debut with black hair. In Blue Skies" she was a red-head, and now her hair Is the color of yellow gold for Variety Girl"
 Sometimes" said Helen, T have trouble keeping track of their colors myself"
 But Helen has made customers too. She gave William, Powell that red hair for his role in "1Afe With Father" And Cornel Wilde comes in every time he starts 6 technicolor picture.
 Irene Dunne also got her red hair for Life With Father" in Helen's shop. And So did one of the kids in the picture, Swear cold Derek Scott.
 Deanna Durbin came to Helen when she dyed her blonde hair back to what Helen said was medium brown gold"

Joan Barclay, Lily Pons and Rita Hayworth,
 Helen gave Rita that strawberry blonde color. But before becoming a blonde. Helen whispered, Rita had to have her red hair touched up. every three days. Her natural color Is black, and 1t just refuses to take a good dye job"
 Naturally, Helen said, most of the dying in Hollywood is done to make the gals look more attractive to the camera. Flat colors do not photo- graph well, and Helen gives them her artistic touch.
 We tried to get her to give us the name of some glamor dolls shed like to fix up. The only one she would mention was June Haver.
 Her blonde hair is a disgrace :"
 Helen dyes her own hair, she con- feSsed. It's black
 She said: I've got gray hair-and just couldn't face all those danes without a dye job myself"

P.-T.A. News

Officers of the Dunbar Parent
Teacher Association met with the
faculty, Friday, September ~, at
Dunbar School.
The main purpose of the meet
ing was to plan out a program
which would be of interest to both
parents and teachers. Heretofore,
very little interest has been shown,
by the parents, in the efforts of
the teachers, to get the best re-
suits from the children entrusted
in their care. AS a result, the
same lack of interest was shown
by the teachers, regarding the
P.T.A. meetings. Since these
meetings are, as the name implies,
for Parent and Teacher, the at
tendance of both is necessary, to
accomplish anything. The faculty
is to be commended, since it turned
out, ninety-eight percent, and the
two teachers not present, were on
duty elsewhere, and unable to at
tend. Surely, if these teachers
who put in six hours daily, with
our children, can still give OF their
time. it is little enough to ask
that we, the parents, to whom the
responsibility of molding to meet
with our co-workers, the teacherS.
AS a rule, P.-TA. meetings nave
been long, irregular, and of little
or no interest, partly because OF
the lack of cooperation on Dotn
sides. Last year, with school at
tendance was 18, while the teacn-
ers averaged about six.
This year with teachers, as Wen
as parents, on the various commit
tees appointed, the P-T.A. hopes
to accomplish many things. An
entertaining program will be gwen
at each meeting, and the meetings.
to be held on the third Thursday
of each month, will be contlneo
to one hour, from 3 to a pm.
Dunbar School is sadly in need
of many improvements, and has
been for a long time. The teach
ers, who draw their salaries thru
the tax payers, cannot demand
these things, but we, the parents,
as we'll as the tax payers, have the
right to do so, if we cooperate with
the P.-T.A. It takes more than
two or three members, to do it.,
however, and the support of every
parent, is needed.

included: Mrs. Marie Barr and

tened our none too choicy hogs.
Perhaps to suggest putting the
modern pig on ration of this
kind will create a terrible squeal
from scientific (though meatless)
agriculturists of today. AS 1 see
it, the difference is that then the
farmer had plenty of meat, now he
hasn't.
It isn't in keeping with sanitary
rules, but little as you may think,
there are people who find much
of their daily bread. from the
American garbage can.
It is so strange that with the
daily waste of food, nothing can
be found to produce enough meat
for the average American family
A remedy to the meat shortage
will come when once again we
demonstrate that a pig'll eat gar
bage, too!
