NOTES
BY JAMES BACON
tor Bob Thomas)

HOLLYWOOD IL Comes now
MGM's answer to Francis the talk
ing mule - Fearless Pagan. the
wandering lion.
Unless Hollywood tradition re-
verses itself, that means you'll be
seeing pictures with such titles as
these:
Fearless Pagan in Africa
Fearless Pagan Takes Mate"
and, of course. .Son of Fearless
Pagan"
There Is no better. or more con-
sistent, moneymaker in the bust
ness than series picture with an
animal star. Lassie, Rim Tin Tin
and now Francis ar top examples.
Universal International, the trade
reports say. uses Francis to pay
off the studio overhead.
MGM press previewed Fear
less Pagan the other day and in
troduced PFC. Floyd Humeston,
the real life owne- of Pagan. Al
though Carleton Carpenter and ia
net Leigh were CO starred. IL was
Fagan's picture. One critic quipped
that he would give it a flour roars
rating. Another called Pagan the
movies best grunter since the late
Wallace Beery.
But surest sign that the studio
is going to give Pagan the buildup
is the news that Sidney Franklin
Jr., has been upped to producer
status.
Young Franklin. until Pagan
came along, had only been assist
ant to Producer Gottfried Rein
hardt.
But about a year ago, Franklin
read the headlines about Humeston
and his wandering lion. The Army
had drafted Humeston and he in
sisted upon carting Pagan off to
Ft. Ord with him in direct viola
ton If Army regulations.
The story grew as Pagan was
shipped tvia Flying Tiger Airline)
to Columbus. O.. and back to Ven
ice, Calf.
That's where Franklin found
Humeston. He says the young SOL
der admitted he was toying with
the idea of going over the hill with
Pagan unless he could find a COCO
home for the beast.
Franklin piled HumeSton and Fa-
gan into his car and took off. With
the help Of writer Eldon w. Grit
fiths. the Fearless Pagan story was
practically written on the spot.
''I'll never forget that ride, |"
Humeston recalls. People would
do the sillicst double takes when
we'd stop at signal light and
they'd spot old Pagan sitting there
in the back seat IA
I'VE even had more fun than
that" Franklin added. I'VE showed
up at a cocktail party that night
with Pagan on a leash. Quite a
beast from the time IL was four
days old. He spends every furlough
away from Fl. Ord with Pagan.
MGM paid Franklin and Grit.
fiths $4,000 for the Fearless Pagan
story. They split it three ways with
Humeston who said he considered
tire money Of minor importance.
The fact that Pagan has good
home at MGM is what's really i'm
portant.
'sThe very least l could do for
that lion Is give ii a good home.
says Franklin. Look what he's
done for me. He only needs 1s
pounds Of horsemeat q day. What
other MGM star works that
cheap"

sleeve. Maybe it's the way Elmer
smiles, or makes passing re-
mark. Anyhow, people took to
him, and he took to them.
The Personal Touch
In America--and knowing Elmer
we know it better, though it may
sound sentimental - the mail
man is not only the peddler of the
whole worlds sealed and stamped
loves, delights, woes, business,
greetings and whimsical notions.
He is a friend of the people as no
other federal man can be. He's the
fellow that's almost expected to
say an encouraging word on the
way, the news-bearing modern
town-crier of little happenings up
and down the street. A man whose
worth is valued as much by the
way he fingers on a little while,
by what he says and thinks per-
sonally, just as it was with the
message-bearing mail carriers, the
spreader of news and curious hap
penings and folkways in far-away
places in the pioneer days.
No More Corns?
Will Elmer quit now? He's elig-
IDLE. He gets his pension pretty
soon. He can settle back in a nice
soft chair, maybe go places, those
places he's brought closer to 9TH
err people. How about it? No more
corns. Do a lot Of snoozing. Take
it easy. What a life!

some of the old people who are
able to do SO could work a few

ira money for themselves, AND
FOR THE HOME.
Along the streets, starting near
est the Center, the following one
store frame buildings should be
built:
1. One room cabins, (near a
public "Latrine" as in the Army
Camps).
2. One room cabins, with tot
lets, lavatory, shower or tub.
3. Two room cabins, with tot
let's, lavatory, shower or tub.
4. Duplex cabins, with toilets,
lavatory, shower or tub.
5. One or two room cabins, with
kitchen and bath.
Such project could be started
very modestly, as follows:
1. A small temporary Admin
istration Building.
2. A permanent Dormit ry
building with space for enlarg-
ing).
8. Electric Power line brought
in to the project.
4. Main lines of Sanitary Sew
er and drainage installed.
s. Community Center space,
and some Of the streets graded.
6. A few one and two room
cabins built.
Gradually, as the finances per-
NIT, and the needs require, the 9TH
er permanent buildings in the Com
iiuliily SCitSI, dIlu duNlllOlldl CdU-
ms could be built.
Old people would feel at home
in such community. 1t would be
like living in their own home, not
in an institution. Provisions might
also be made for some of the old
people to build and pay for their
own cabins, Ito be the property of
the HOME). But that would have
to be subject to a contract, stip-
ulating the rights, privileges, du-
ties and responsibilities of both
parties. Some Of them might want
to build their cabin on a IA acre
tract in order to raise their own
vegetables. Or perhaps a plan for
community gardening might be
worked out.

Uterine Cancer Is
Rising In Sweden

A survey of 10,S63 cases of ute
rine cancer made by the Swedish
specialist Arne Lindell indicates
that a continuous rise in the in
cidence is taking place and may be
expected to persist. DR. Linden
foresees that in 1868 there may
be 100 new cases per year. as
against 600 in 1949, and he recon-
mends that the medical services be
forearmed. Uterine cancer is
most prevalent in the ages 51-55,
but women of 80 are also suseep-
tible to the disease.

Why Not An Old Peoples
Home Community?
. BY A. BJERKESETH

Not so long ago 1 wrote a few
lines about the contemplated
Morse Home in Seattle in this
column. Quite a few fellow coun-
trymen commented on the story but
unfortunately what they wrote,
was not exactly for publication.
One thing is certain, there is quite
a lot of interest for an Old
Peoples Home. The question seems
to be: How to go about it in the
most practical way?
One of my good friends in
Olympia, Wash, contractor and
builder Gunvald Kulien, writes as
follows:
Dear Mr.. Bjerkeseth:
When I read your Editorial in
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES about
the Norwegian Old Peoples Home,
some time ago, 1 intended to write
and tell you that 1 completely
agree with your views in the mat
ter.
If the committee, as you sug-
gest, would give up the idea of
building a Palace on their val
liable property (too valuable for an
Old Peoples Home, anyway and
instead concentrate on plans for
building something on a more mod
est and practical scale RIGHT
NOW, I am sure it would meet
with the approval OF a majority
Of the people who are interested
in the project, particularly of the
old Norwegians who are in need
of, or desire such home NOW.
Sincerely yours,
Gunvald Kulien.
P. S. Attached herewith you will
find an outline, or suggestions for
an Old Peoples Home COMMUN-
ITY. Impracticable, visionary, isn't
it? Perhaps so, but then, it does
not cost anything to dream.
