certainly deserve a few laughs,
too. But until more performers
are sent over, this will be one Of
the GI's gripes or should I

I heard that from many ridge
runners" fighting in Korea. Any
CT will tell you that in an ad-|
vance area there's no place to go,
nothing to see and no recreation
save that which is provided at
army bases. Most villages around
the 38th Parallel have been evacu-
ated, SO the boys rarely get a
glimpse of native Koreans except
the laborers who work on the
roads and those who help carry
wounded down from the ridges.
I met a soldier who arrived in
Seoul after spending eight solid
months at the front. Even the
wreckage Of Seoul was thrilling
sight, which caused him to re-
mark, "A look at this dump is
like trip to Manhattan"
Even though there are no places
to go. a soldier on the front lines
has little time for diversion. "On
the line" he's alerted every second
and spare moments are spent
digging trenches. carrying equip
ment, or tracking down enemy
mines.
One of the most touching and
most familiar sights was that of
weary soldier seated on an
empty ammo crate reading a little
packet of letters which he. carries
in his helmet. Aside from chin
ming with his buddies, this is about
the limit of a soldiers leisure
when he's on the front line.
In advance camps there are
daily basketball and softbail
games. After supper there might
be a boxing match, but GIs re-
turning from weeks at the front
admit they're "just too tired to
go out for sports" When a divi-
sion is in reserve, the boys have
more leisure to relax and read

POINSETTIA


From Mrs. w. w. E., WashingtonJ
Mrs. A. r.. Washington. IN re-
gard to your pcinsettia whose
leaves are turning yellow and fall
ing off. I will tell you what hap
pened to mine. 1t was out in the
ground in its pot all summer.
When we dug it up in September
there seemed to be no pot. It had
evidently disintegrated. We pot
ted it again and put it on
screened porch where it was part
ly protected. 1t Immediately
started to droop. One branch
bent in two, so I cut it off and
Immediately burned the wound
with matches so it wouldn't lose
sap, The leaves kept dying and
falling. except for those near the
top. Finally it was cold and We
brought it inside just when it
seemed to have recovered from the
shock of leaving the ground. 1t
again began to yellow and shed
more large leaves. AS it became
accustomed to the room it stopped
losing its leaves and although. it
now looks bare at the bottom it
has new leaves where I burned the
open wound and new leaves are
about to appear all along the
stems where the old ones dropped
off. So think if you will still
water it, feed it and keep it in a
window without too much sun, but
some. that it will gradually re-
cover as mine has. I hope it will
bloom for you and that you won't
be discouraged. 1t has taken ours
about six weeks to begin to look
right.

Mrs. A. NJ, College Park. To
prevent lids sticking on canister

the edge of your lids. They will
never stick and this also helps to
prevent rust if you will do it every
so often.

BAYBERRY CANDLES.
(From Mrs. C. H. S.. VIENNA

(From Mrs. c. H. S., VienndJ
7 would like to pass on these
directions for making bayberry
candles which I clipped from RICH
sometime ago.
The berries are gathered from
the bushes before the first snow.
Separate them from the larger
turgs, but do not wash them. Put
them in large granite kettle Zone
for canning is very handy and
cover with cold water and bring
to a boil. Boil for about ten min
utes or so. Then put the kettle
out in the cold for several hours
to chill. The berries. dirt and
small turgs will have settled to
the bottom of the vessel while
the fragrant, green wax will have
formed a layer on top. The novice
gets a slight shock at this point
because of the small amount Of
wax gained from the berries 1--WE
used about thirty pounds of ber-
ries and the yield was enough for
six medium sized candles). The
bayberry wax can, of course. be
supplemented by other candle
wax, but they lose some of their
fragrance then.

Television had better control its
low necklines or it will face the
danger of censorship, declares
Faye Emerson.
Some of the girls on television
think all they have to, do to get
ahead is lower their necklines, .
she added. That's not true. Sue
cess IN TV depends on q lot more
than merely displaying a good
figure"
These girls are getting away
with murder. They seem to be
trying to see how low they can
plunge their necklines and get
away with it. It's this sort Of
thing that is going to bring CEN
sorship.
Right now we have no censor
ship. think it's better that way.
But If the offenders Of good taste
continue, the blue-noses will step
in and impose censorship. I
think censorship-or any rule by
q minority-is undemocratic. 1t
is also sitting for the medium. I
think censorship is the reason
Hollywood makes so few adult
pictures"
Miss Emerson, who was here on
q whirlWind visit before starting
q new TV series, admitted that
she was pretty well identified with
the plunging neckline. But that
was highly overrated, she de-
clared.
Naturally. the plunging neck
line was a highly popular sub
ject-alWays has been" she ad-
mitted. Since 1t was a widely
discussed topic In the new indus
try and since ! was one Of the
nrst girls In TV. I got stuck with
5he title.
I'm not saying 1t didn't help
me: 1t did. But 1t happened very
naturally. When ! first went on
TV, I was on at 1880 at night.
So I wore what I would generally
wear at that time Of night, and
decollette gowns were then at the
height Of fashion. But my neck
lines never plunged very far, real
ly. Not as far as a lot Of the
other girls"
She denied that she has given
up the plunge. But" she ex-
planned, my show. went to a time
earlier in the evening. So I wore
suits and other things, as well as
an occasional evening gown"
This was Miss Emerson's first
stay in Hollywood since she left
six years ago, when she was a
Warner Bros. actress. She said
the visit was strictly social and
she has no movie plans.
"But I'd like to do a picture. )"
she added, "if I could work out the
time. It would have to be some
thing just right. don't care IL
the part is big or the picture ex-
pensive. just so 1t was something
that was right for me to do"
/ asked Miss Emerson If Holly
wood could take over from New
York as the television capital oil
the United States.
Not a chance" she replied.
Hollywood missed the boat by not
getting into TV early enough. Now
it's too late. And it's a shame
because television can use the
great talents that are here"
