YOU'RE IN, IF .
by Louis Berg
Joan Caulfield was a hit in
her first picture. Then what
happened? She got tangled UP
in a pair of ballet slippers :.

ToAN CAUIFlELD is the Hollywood newcomer who
was starred in three major films and almost lost
. her option before the public ever saw her the
screen The story of how it happened is super
colossal Hollywood epic.
1t began when Buddy De Sylvia, Paramount pro-
duoer interviewed her for her first movie job. She
had just clicked in the Broadway production of kiss
and TELL" and had been rushed off to the Coast
before she could even get her picture the wall at
Sardi's the theatrical restaurant.
She was cautious, therefore, when De Sylvia asked
her point-blank what she thought she could do.
@'Maybe," she said hesitantly, 81 ought to
get the feel of the cameras first - start an
extra, or something like that
This was something new in De Sylva's experience
That's smart" he said obviously. Start at the
bottom and work up. Now have a part that should
interest you Servant girl - couple of speaking lines"
Excuse me-" interrupted Joan's agent. He had
turned green. Il must talk to my client - alone"
Fast Start
1HE agent dragged her into the hail. MY ulcers"
he gasped But back in the Office he did all the talk
ing. She got secondary lead in Miss Susie Slages"
As it turned out, this was sensational beginning
"a role that Joan has not since been able to top.
One of Paramount's top producers Mark Sandrich,
saw the rushes and sent for her in hurry How would
she liked to be starred with Bing Crosby? A
$4,OOO,OO0 job, in Technicolor: ''Blue Skies,''
with music by Irving Berlin. A cast that was to
include Paul Draper, Nijinsky of tap dancers.
If Mr.. Berlin approves you're in, " Mark Sand
rich said, beamng.
Mr. Berlin, when the matter was broached to him,
looked worried. But then he always looks worried.
do you sing?" he asked. Joan shook her head.
"Dance?" Again the answer was mo-" Berlin made
helpless gesture and left in hurry. He is always
in hurry.
Never mind" said the unfalingly cheerful pro-
ducer well send you to dance instructor. If Paul
Draper approves, you're in"
Wrong Number
SHE practiced hard on one number - the ballroom
dance she was supposed to do in the picture.
Paul Draper sat on chair and tapped with his
feet during her tryout VERY good" he said politely
when she finished, but what had in mind was
ballet number"
We'll give you ballet lessons" said Sandrich stub
bornly. He looked worried but determined. So Joan
abored for months before iron bar. How are you
doing?" asked Sandrich one day. mot so good"
said Joan honestly.

Truman Asks For Grain Control

WASHINGTON, (P)-President Truman has prepared a special message to Congress asking con- tinued power for the government to say how much grain can be used for whisky-making.
 Present government power to control distillers' use of grain will end tomorrow. Congress voted it last fall because of the grain shortage and the Truman admin istration's campaign to save grain for food for Europe.
 The Senate has passed bill to continue the power through Feb ruary, but the House banking committee has pigeon-holed it.

And now he says we should spend 12 and one-half bill lions on international programs in the next two fiscal years. A year ago, he estimated the treasury would have surplus of POP mil lion dollars on June 30, l948, and now he predicts a surplus on that date of nearly and one-half bill lion dollars.
 One place governments of all kinds can reduce imitation is in their pay rolls. According to cen- sus figures, federal, state, city and county governments had a total of 5,808,000 employees last October. They were drawing a record high total salary of 1,108 million dol lars. One out of every ten em- ployed persons in the nation was on a public pay roll. No wonder taxes keep on going up and up.

Natures Children
Tussock Moth.
(Hemerocampu leucostign1d. }
d. :II:. T>~ AaL

All about US are the strange,
intricate cocoons of the tussock
moths. the future invaders of our
valuable city trees and shrubs. The
males are handsome winged fellows
who wait for radioed message be-
fore going calling. The female is
no "pin-up girl" She is fat and
clumsy, covered with most beau
tiful platinum-blond coat which
glistens in the sun. She is stay
at-home. No wings have been given
her.
She creeps from her self-made
cocoon and waits for her coat to
fluff out. 1t is really beautiful. Then
she sends her messages. 1t is be-
lieved the males receive the wire
less by means Of their very sensi-
tive antennae.
The mother must provide a place
Of safety for her 400 eggs. You
can see her as she clings by her
slender feet to her empty cocoon,
swaying back and forth in an arc
laying her eggs on the roof Of her
empty home. The eggs are laid in
regular rows and are very sticky.
She moves over them slowly for
she is parting with the long hairs
Of her body. These will make a
warm, thick blanket for the eggs
during the winter. If you use a
thin knife blade you can lift up
the hair robe and see the eggs.
BY the time she has accomplished
her mission she is thin and spent
She tumbles to the ground, It'd
bit for a hungry bird.
When the foliage is ready the
eggs hatch into ugly, warty black
babies. Though their mother gave
her life for them, she overlooked
their food. While moth mothers lay
their eggs in the midst of food, the
tussock mother has merely located
her nursery where her offspring
can climb up tree trunks for theirs.
1t is for this reason sticky paper
or paint placed around the tree
trunk makes it impossible for the
caterpillars to reach their goal.
The caterpillars are really beau
tiful. They have coral heads and
brilliantly colored buttons on their
bodies and along the back a satiny
black stripe, stiff black hairs and
tufts of white ones.
The tussock moth has many ma
tural enemies expert in locating
her egg basket and placing their
own among hers. More valuable
