CHOICE MORgEL It Says Here
SCHOOL OUT
By FOB HOPE

Well, school will close soon and it'n be time for summer vaca- tion. So 1t won't be long before we're up to our knees in kids. I've been noticing some of the small fry around my neighborhood, and they certainly don't act the way I did when I was in grammar school. of course, that might be because they're not yet twenty one.
 But kids nowdayS are really sophisticated. When I was young, we used to read about the "Ad- ventures of Tom Sawyer. now they read about the Adventures of Tom Manville." They don't want to grow up to be President any more. {. . they want to stay young and become quiz kids.
 I remember when I was a kid, they used to call me Hockey. and it wasn't because I skipped school so often. But it came in handy. I was the only boy in the block who could carve his initials in a tree without a knife. And I never got into any fights. I'd put a chip on my shoulder but they couldn't find it to knock off under those long, golden curls.
 Those were the good, old days. I used to play with my yo-yo, go barefooted, and wear little straw hat with a chinstrap. Things have certainly changed. now I don't wear the chinstrap any more.

Navy Takes Precautions InA-B Test
 Non-essentioI
 Men 10 Be Token
 From KwoioIein

Kwajalein, June 10 - CUP) - Against the remote possibility that the atomic bomb might go off at the wrong time, all non-essential personnel will be evacuated from Kwajalein on the day set for the bomb drop at Bikini, Comdr. Ben H. Wyatt announced today.
 Wyatt, Navy commander of the Marshall Islands, said the evacua- tion was recommended by Vice. Adm. w. H. P. Blandy, commander of Joint Task Force One and by scientists participating in this Sum- mer's test of atomic destruction against Navy ships.
 Wyatt said about 1000 personnel not essential to Operation Cross roads would be removed by small boat from Kwajalein to Ebeye. nearly three miles distant, an hour before the bomb carrying Superfort- ress takes off in the first test set for July l.
 These personnel will be kept on Ebeye until the bomb is dropped on target ships in Bikini lagoon or un- til the plane returns to Kwajalein in the event the bomb is not dropped.
 Remaining on KWajalein will be some 2,40O Army Air Forces person. nel essential to the operation and 10000 Navy personnel.
 Wyatt described the evacuation as "an extreme safety measure" even if the bombing plane should crash in the takeoff from Kwajalein, T do not think anything would hap pen," he added.
 Although Task Force officers ap- peared to think that the crash of the bomb plane would not detonate the atomic bomb, there was specula- ton here that such an accident might bring the component parts of the weapon together rapidly enough to cause a dangerous radiation if not an explosion.
 It was explained that the bomb ingredients must be brought togeth- CT very slowly before the burst can take place. Even if they are brought together slowly through an accident, they would emit radiation in dan gerouS amounts.

VIII Feel Better
By ESTELLE BOND

Boston. June l9 (UP)-Any American woman can make her. self more beautiful merely by par ticipating in some sport five hours each week.
 That's the prescription of Dr. Leslie w. Irwin, associate profeS- sor of health education at Bos- ton University, who said in an ln- terview today that this would make a woman feel better and therefore look better.
 Welding a tennis racket instead of a powder puff not only will improve physical and mental well being but in many cases even will eliminate the need for cosmetics, Dr. Irwin said.
 Rugged Ones Survived
 Today's average woman is slight ly taller, trimmer and simmer than her predecessor of the 1700s, he said, but that's only because the slender girls of that period often were too frail to reach maturity. Therefore, most of the adult women of that time who managed to sur vive were the rugged ones.
 However, Dr. Irwin gives little credit to the modern woman for her improved looks but rather says they're the result of better hous- ing. environment and nutrition. Further, he warned, Miss or Mrs. 1946 had better exercise or che'll rim t0 fat
 T can't emphasize enough" the Missouri-born educator said, "how vital it is for women to participate actively in sports, both outdoor and indoor according to the season. How strong and healthy our women will be in the future depends on how many of them go in for sports. "

Will Feel Better Ladies! Want Beauty? Try Sports Each Week

But Dr. Irwin doesn't want grand- mothers to exhaust themselves on the tennis courts in their quest for a healthy glow It's just as im- portant, he said, to indulge in the right sports at the proper age as it is to participate at all.
 Roughly, here are his directions:
 From adolescence to 30 or 35 (de- pending on the individuaD even the more strenuous sports are good. After that, settle down to more leisurely pusuits, such as golf, bad hinton, swimming, gardening and walking.
 Some persons, he acknowledged, can ski or play squash without harm when they are well past mid- dle age. But, in such cases. they undergo periodic heart checks to be certain their physical condition has not been impaired.
 Setting-Up Not Endorsed
 Setting-up exercises were not en- oorSed with any show of enthu- siasm by Dr. Irwin because he con- siders them "too lonesome" to be followed faithfully.
 There just isn't any other boon to good appearance like exercise through sports" he declared em- phatically. That kind of activity will do more for a woman than everything else put together"
 Dr. Irwin, former faculty mem- Der of the University of Chicago for IS years, showed by his next remark that he's realist, too.
 T admit" he said, that woman might look better at one particular moment because of the application of cosmetics. But" he added hasti- ly, that's only because she neg lected her sports in the first place"

HOLLYWOOD, June 19-P. s. Harrison, editor of weekly publi- cation which reviews, for its ex- hibitor subscribers the current screen offerings, wrote an editorial the other day that should be of equal interest to fans. He berated the now common Hollywood prac- tice of remaking old pictures and issuing them under different titles, as brand new film fare. Exhibitors buy them, in good faith, as "orig- inals" and sell them as such to their patrons.
 I've long been aware of the prac- tice, and I've always considered it & violation of good business ethics. As a theater-goer, have no ob- jection, per SC, to re-makes. There have been many stories filmed which in my opinion should be made again. But I'm entitled to know whether I'm being offered re- make or an original" It isn't fair practice to lure me, via deception, into a theater to see for the second time a story that I didn't like when it was first filmed.
 Imagine a book publisher, for instance, having the poor taste to print a new edition of Gone With The Wind" and re-title it "The Tempest Blows" If, by some per- version of the copyright lays, he could do that, and put behind it a Hollywood-sized publicity campaign that would carefully conceal the fact that it was a reissue, he could undoubtedly sell quite few thous- and copies. But he would find him. self blown away by a tempest of public indignation as soon as his outer subterfuge became known

 Staff Correspondent Charles Arnot has just completed a fortnight's survey of the British occupation zone, "Beind the Silken Curtain" The following is the second in a series of dispatches based on his flHdings9.
 By CHARLES ARNOT
 Bad Oyenhausen, June l9 - CUP) --The British disarmament record in the highly militarized western portion of Germany is impressive.
 Three million former German servicemen have been discharged by the British and sent back to their homes during the last year accord- ing to figures provided by the Bri- tish Army.
 During the same period S6 per- cent of all priority German military weapons and installations have been destroyed, according to the same sources.
 Finds Plenty of Evidence
 During a 2,OOO-mile trip through the British zone-Without escort all the evidence saw went to sup port the British statements.
 The only German prisoner-of-war camp remaining in the British zone houses about 2,000 German officers, including more than 400 members of the general staff. Many of them are awaiting trial as war criminals. The British also have 5000 prison CTS of war in Belgium. These pris- oners will be sent to Britain next month where another 50,00O are already working as separations la bor.
 By the end of June the British will have returned to their homes the last 25,000 non German na- tionals who fought with the Wehr- macht.
 British statistics show that 95 percent of all German armaments in the zone-including aircraft have been collected and that "A percent of it has been destroyed.
 War Machinery Destroyed
 The British have dumped 45 ,000 tons of ammunition into the sea and will dump the remainder of l63, ,000 tons by the end of the year All the submarine pens in the Bri- tish zone have been destroyed and there is virtually no trace remain ing of German anti-aircraft guns.
