HOLLYWOOD.-When- I Wis
tied my neighbors. the Dick
Powells, the other evening at the
cocktail hour I found Dick
seated alone in front of a cheer
full fire. June will be home
soon," he explained. "She had
to make a test at MGM today
and will be a little late"
Speaking of appearances" I
asked, what is your top prob
lem?"
Dick patted his tummy and
said Staying thin"
"He always talks about diet
ing" June said. coming in so
quietly we hadn't heard her.
! June sat down in front of the
fire. Richard has the most
beautiful TASTE" she said, ig-
noring Dicks joke. "He chooses
most of the things I wear"
/ "June may not have the
/ largest wardrobe in Hollywood,
but I can't build a closet big
enough" Mr.. Powell said. "She
has to have every hanger at
least 2 inches. apart so her
dresses don't get crushed"
"They look fresher when they
don't touch," June said in the
manner of one who had ex-
planned this before.
my mother never had much
money to spend, but she always
told us, it doesn't cost anything
to be neat and clean When I
came to Hollywood I knew I
could never compete on a CLAM
or basis, but I could emphasize
being immaculate. I work at
being well groomed," June con-
fessed.
! asked for further details on
her formula for a neat appear
ance.
IT never take anything off
without having it pressed,
washed or cleaned. When I want
to wear them again they look
fresh." she explained.
when you couldn't afford
help did you press your dresses
that often?" I asked.
June laughed. What do you
mean? ! have an ironing board
in my dressing room now. And
still press my sweaters. Once
you form a habit of neatnesS
it becomes automatic.
II think shoes should be in
spected regularly, too," June
continued, 80 you never go
around with rundown heels. :"
I brush my pumps as soon as I
take them off, sprinkle a special
powder into them and stuff the
toes with tissue.
II wash my gloves after every
wearing" June added, land
never wear cotton blouse but
once"
June washes her hair every
day." Dick chimed in.
MY hair looks best when it's
freshly Washed" June explained.
II take good care of it because
I get more compliments on it
than on anything else.. I have
just enough curl so that after
a few minutes under the dryer
I can brush it dry without set
ting 1t"
June told me that it took a
while to convince the studio that
it was more becoming natural
than curled in a fancy style.

nounces the resurfacing Of Euclid
ave. from Doan ave. to the west
city limit-Lakeview rd.-will be
underway about October 1st. The
Horvatz Co. has the contract with
the state, county and city footing
the bill. Completion of the job will
provide East Cleveland with a fine
boulevard right through the heart
Of the city.
The Traffic Division of the East
Cleveland Police Department has
its pattern ready, so the street de-
partment can move in quickly with
paint can and liner to tie the new
section in with the already newly
patterned lanes east of Doan ave.
One can depend on East Cleve-

tire improvement.

Sportswriters are predicting a

Cleveland City Council is start

noise, truckers topping the list of
offenders. May the movement
speed to encompass every suburb
in the Greater Cleveland area to
the end that needless noisemakers,
be they truckers, wedding guests
or what ever come to realize that
noisemaking hereabouts is strictly
taboo. Support Of the general pub
lie can put the idea over.
Congratulations to East Cleve-

deciding to raze that unsightly

Often the wives find that their

the destitute wives have no place
to so but wind up in the chap.
Ilain's officer where it becomes his
duty to lind some place for them
to stay. Very often he has called
on the club members TO help in
situations such as these.
Chaplain Laudenslager told how
the club members always come to
the assistance of those seeking
help with a true understanding of
friendship.
In his final words he admonish.
ed those who would be real Chris.

Jesus where all true friendship has
its roots.
