dirigible to prove it, he clearly is
man with a sound case.
The idea of 27-foot illuminated
letters running around a bag of gas
in the heavens is one that came to
him while he was in the Navy. The
Navy, with more logic than 1t
showed toward many of its personnel
assigned Leigh to Special Devices
Since it had no problem such as
how to make soap powder appear
bubble on sign over Broadway, it
set Leigh into association with diri-
gibles. He could not keep from
thinking about them In connectior
with the postwar world, especial,
his own one of spectacular advertis-
ing. He was virtually ready with
the idea which is now so sensational
by the time he was discharged; an
idea likely to stun first spectators
into doing just what Leigh and his
advertising clients want them to do.
The party interview with Leigh
made it clear that there is a fine
technical story in the man and his
d1rigibles. or in both of them. Every
one. however, seemed to be avoiding
1t IN favor of something more
readily comprehensive to movie
minded writer's.
This sort of more human ap-
proach developed few facts about
the mans private life. He thinks
he always has been a sort of queer
duck in thinking exclusively of
spectacular advertising, but you
would never know it from talking
to him. He first got interested in
advertising while working on his
high school monthly down in South
Carolina. His first specular sign on
Broadway was lighted in 1888 and.
while he does not say so, established
him as the master in his field. He
never has to worry about the good

taste of his signs, he says, because
the clients always have more of a
problem of sound public relations
than he does. He is enormously
grateful for all the interest that
newspapers and magazines always
have shown in him. He doesn't
think he is that interesting, but is
happy if others continue to do so.
Having taken over the sky, you
might think Leigh would be salts
fed to rest for while. Leigh doesn t
feel that way.
There are some terrific things
I would like to try" he says.
You will be seeing them. no doubt.

Latest honor guest of this off beat
type is Douglas Leigh, the advertising
man. who is largely responsible for
turning Times Square in New York
into such a fascinating bedlam of
illumination Mr.. Leigh. of whom you
certainly must have read in The
New Yorker, Life or some other ma
tional magazine, is small sort of
man. And, at Loew's Capitol's 18th
birthday party at the Shoreham, he
was a man who needed a haircut.
Neither of these descriptive details
is half so interesting as that In point
of having something to say, Mr..
Leigh can knock the spots off most
Of the glamour people who dominate
such social events.
Mr.. Leigh got to be the Capitol's
party honor guest through sheer
Imagination What he imagined
was Metro Goldwyn-M Mayors adver-
tising dirigible which took over the
sky above Washington on Thursday
night with a 50o-word birthday
greeting to the big theater on F.
street. The dirigible is Mr.. Lees
latest spectacular thought in illum-
mated advertising, one which pales
his bubbling beer, smoking Gig
arettes and other signs on Broad
way.
Mr. Leigh. who dreams up the CO.
lossal in ways of calling peoples at
tention to other peoples products,
is a type to which reviewers of
movies are quite unaccustomed. The
novelty of him to humans who never
think in larger than 24-point type
is naturally enormous. 1t gives him
a sort of spellbinding power which
M-G-M would be proud to have in
its pictures: the ones which the
Leigh dirigible will be advertising
here for some time.
Long training in having asked
visiting movie celebrities where they
were born, whether marriage inter
feres with a career, and what their
next pictures are going to be, leaves
an interviewer feeling silly vis-a-vis
Leigh. But that lasts only as long as
1t takes to discover that he is a
pleasant sort, and quite normal
even il he has advertising dirigibles
on the brain.
A sample of the first disconcert-
ing effect of having met Leigh and
read a 500-word message on his
dirigible, issevident in one of the
first questions he was asked after
dinner.
An international-m minded fellow
among the group wasted no time
in submitting the query:

 Hints
Saving Seed

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 24-A good thrifty custom followed by many gardeners is the saving of home grown seed for planting next year. This is excellent practice for many crops, altf ough there are some exceptions, says pr. D. F. Jones of the Connecticut Agricultu- ral Experiment Station.
 Let's take first the vegetables from which seed can be saved to advantage. Roughly, any plant that is naturally self-fertilized will re- main true to type and seed from it can be saved for at least one year with good results. Peas, beans and lima beans are in this cate gory. Seed saved should come from hardy, vigorous plants that are free from disease.
 Tomato and pepper seed saved from the garden is generally satis- factory but requires special hand ling. The seed should be washed in stralner and dried in the sun before being stored.
 Seed from crops naturally cross pollinated, such as sweet corn, mel ons, cucumbers and squash, are sell dom satisfactory and should not be saved unless a single variety has been grown. Seed from hybrid vegetables should never be saved.
 What about packeted seed that is left over from this years plant ing? Nearly all seed will germin- ate and grow as well the second year as the first ana many are good up to five years, pr. Jones says. The only seeds that should not be saved are those belonging to the parsley family: carrots, parsnips, parsley, celery and many herbs. These seeds are oily and seldom germinate the second year.
 Place seed which is being saved in strong envelopes and label them properly To protect the seeds from insect damage, dust them lightly with seed disinfectant or hydrated lime. Store in venti- lated, metal box in 3 dry, cool place.

Under new legislation there has been created the office of Under Secretary of Labor-a post which has just been filled by a man of unquestioned experience and com petence, Keen Johnson, the former Governor of Kentucky. Also cre- ated were three offices of Assistant Secretary. I have the honor to fill one of these offices.
 The efficient administrative structure which has been set up within the Labor Department and the bringing together under the one administration of all labor functions delegated to the national authority have accomplished much for labor. Those accomplishments are, I believe, reflected in the rec ord of the Departments operations through the past year. They are evidence that the enlarged facili- ties of the Department have been brought closer to the workers of this country than ever before.
 Meanwhile the Bureaus, Dlvl- sions and Offices of the Department have been strengthened and im- proved. The Cancellation Service, for example, is stronger than it has ever been before The Bureau of Labor Statistics is better equipped and manned than ever before to collect and disseminate the infor- nation that labor must have. And so on down through all the branch es of the Department.

seller lists with such works as "You Are What You Eat" Food and Health Guides" 'Vitamin Cookbook" etc.
 Specializing as he does in the science of food, it is natural that Victor Lindlahr's chief hobby should also pertain to this subject. He spends most of his free mo- ments in the pursuit of rare books on food and cooking; his library now boasts an unusual collection of unique documents and books in this field. When asked what he wanted to "do more than anything else" Lindlahr stated he wanted to find first edition of "A Form of Curry" :. book he has sought lcng and vainly.
 The art Victor Lindlahr finds most interesting-outside of radio is English painting of the 17th century; Lindlahr has an outstand- ing reputation as an art as well as rare book collector.

Eastern Connecticut news., 1946-09-02

The theme song of "The Case Book of Gregory Hood" mystery detective series heard over WNLC Mondays from 8:30 to g p. m. which was composed by Dean Fossler, the shows musician, has been attract ing much comment through the mail. Although it has no title, the song is supposed to embody all the moods and atmoSpheres of San Francisco, the locale of the Greg ory Hood mysteries
 The song seems to fascinate the 5" listeners who use varying adJec- tives to describe it. However, the best way to put ii seems to be that it's melody full of impu- dence, suggesting carelessness and indifference, a Worldliness and sophistication, with an undercur- rent of heavy romance that is strangely intriguing.
 Fossler says that he does much of his composing of all things under a walnut tree An instru- ment is unnecessary for creating his music. Sitting under a tree makes composing just come mat urally," he says.
 Starting Monday, September g, Montgomery Ward will sponsor new program called Art Baker and His Notebook which will be heard 10:45 to II a. m. Mondays through Fridays.
 On September 8, many familiar popular programs return to the air for the Fall and winter season. among them The Shadow at p. m. Sundays, and Quick as a Flash at 5:3O p. m. Sundays.

and then began preparing it for an

Summer stock is recruiting
ground, too, for new actors and

the summer theater door much
easier to crash than the Broadway
stage door. Actors Equity reports
that lit new actors and actresses
enrolled from the summer theaters

One significant discovery of sum-
mer theater producers is that audi
ences viewing a honeysuckle stage
will relish plays revived with tender
direction from the past. Helen
Hayes, appearing with her lovely
young daughter, Mary Macarthur,
in the latter's stage debut, has been
playing Sir James M. Barrie's

undoubtedly never would succeed
before sophisticated Broadway au-
