HOLLYWOOD Rl-Dagmar does
MT have to worry. Marie Wilson
isn't going to battle her for Flung
ing necilne honors on television.
Quite TIE reverse. Marie made
her Nv debut with her "My Friend
Irma, show couple of weeks
ago, and so far her gowns haven't
been cut much lower than her
Adams apple.
ITS not my fault" said the
glamor girl somewhat wistfully.
She said she was acting under
orders of CIV Howard, who operates
the fIrma" show on radio and TV.
t;He issued orders that / wasn't
supposed to wear any low-cut
gowns or sweaters, Marie report
ed. e.He says they wouldn't be in
character. Also, he's afraid such
things would take attention away
from the laughs.
II remember one day when
came to the radio show wearing
great big picture hat. I like
picture hats. you know: little hats
look kinda silly on me. But when

So Marie, somewhat unwillinglv,

IN eye toward curbing the curves.
For Marie. this is major en-
cheering achievement.
The ba.my blonde (who is wiser
han most people suspect) is in a
'vhirl these days. She has been
continuing her air show, inaugural
ing the TV version ard campaign
ing for the March of Dimes. She
has offered her services as secre-
tary TO the businessman donating
the largest amount to the polio
fund drive.
The TV whirl has Marie's head

She added that she had to re-

of the week. And when she isa I

additional b o r costs and
those for delivered charcoal on
ISt. Thomas have also been in
creased because Of higher
transportation costs.
The regulation takes into
consideration the fact that
there is seasonal production Of
charcoal in the islands because
during the time for harvesting
sugar cane many Of the labor
'ers who normally work at the
.kilns are attracted to the sugar
cane fields by more lucrative
wages. Prices set in the regula-
ton vary in accordance with
whether the charcoal is sold in
or out of t h e harvesting
season.
Effective July 8, 1852, the
price Of charcoal in the NUM-
cipality Of ST, Thomas and st.
John will be from $1.3O un-
delivered to $1.65 delivered.
On the island Of st. Croix the
price will be from $1.3O UNI
delivered to $3.50 delivered.
