Glamour Is Their Business:
By Lydio Lone

HOLLYWOOD. Ginger
Rogers and Jacques Bergerac are
one of Hollywood'S beSt-look1ng
couples. And Ginger remains as
one of the towns most attractive
and well-Shaped stars. How does
she do it?" every one asks. What
is Ginger'S secret for stopping
the hands on the clock of time?"
I mentioned these questions to
Ginger one afternoon recently as
we slipped fruit punch in her
lovely house in Beverly Hills.
Keeping fit is big subject"
Ginger said. 1T goes deep. The
obvious is to care for the body,
but the secret is to watch your
thinking. There is nothing which
makes you grow old faster than
to dwell on your last birthday.
The thought of age carried
continuously will be expressed"
she added seriously.
will the reverse work?" I
asked. Can you think yourself
into being young?"

had no record of her birth. She
was my nurse when I was a
child, but looks the same today
as she did then.
Worrying about age is de-
structive," Miss Rogers con-
tinued. Il try to leave the past
behind where it belongs. believe
we are as young as we THINK" d"
I asked Ginger how she felt
about those who contended that
we are what we eat.
"a person has a choice 10 keep
a young body or to let it become
aged" Ginger replied thought
fully. "Once you have formulated
your desire, put it into action and
follow through"
Ginger feels the decision is
up to you-Whether you prefer
to eat for taste or for youth.
do you have a weight prob
1em?" I asked.
NO" Ginger said, Because I
eat only when I am hungry and
! never eat more than I want"
You make it sound so simple"

because your thought commands

because your thought commands
it," Ginger said with a smile.
Dieting can be easy with the
proper attitude"
We talked about clothes and
their impact upon personality.
Your appearance is vitally
important" Miss Rogers COM
mented. You can't be at ease
when you feel you are not look
ing your best. You can't help but
have more assurance when you
are wearing a costume you know
is becoming.
But I am not at all impressed
by an outward Show" Ginger
continued. "Overdressing is one
thing I dislike, yet 1 was once
accused of it. That was a long
time ago, out I remember a COL
umnist wrote about me: What
she didn't wear she carried !"
Ginger laughed, IF it were true
then it definitely isn't now"
I wanted to know in what
way Ginger had been conditioned
by living in Hollywood.
"It has made me much less
spontaneous and free. It has
taught me the great difference
between the written and the
spoken word. I discovered that
a remark torn from what came
before and understanding alone
in black and white-could have
entirely different connotation.
I've taken some rough lashing by
being misquoted."
Ginger was wearing a white
dress which was a beautiful con-
trast to her smooth even tan.
When I complimented her skin
she told me, Il think if you are
going to spend a number of hours
in the sun you must try to put
back the oils which have been
dried out"
At this point a tall, dark and
handsome young man came into
the house. Miss Rogers excused
herself and rushed into the hall
to greet her groom.
When Jacques Bergerac Joined
us I was surprised to find him
speaking English so easily. Il
am studying many hours every
day" he said. And I am even
dreaming in English now"
It's remarkable how little ac-
cent you have" I commented.
IT am not like some foreigners

who like to keep an accent no
matter how long they stay in a
country"
I wanted to know his impress
sion of the American girls and
how they contrasted with those
in France.
European girls are more of
a mystery" he said after a
thoughtful pause. This, I think,
is because we do not have CO.
education. Here you find a
camaraderie between men and
women which does not exist in
France. But I also feel the girls
here are more competitive with

For almost a year and a half
now we have been sitting here
pounding out these editorial colu-

Sometimes we have been mad.
Sometimes we have tried to point

plumb haven't cared which way the
world went-so queer has the
world moved.
But through it all you have been

backs except in a few isolated in
stances and where there have
been comebacks they haven't been
violent ones but have been just
matters of disagreement of opinion

SELECTION IMPROVES
POTATO PRODUCTION

MeIvin Mills of Chocowinity de-
clares that few hours required
to hill-select sweet potato seed
stock are the most profitable he
has yet spent in growing sweet
potatoes.
H. NJ. Covington, horticulture
specialist for the State College
Agricultural Extension Service, re-
ports that Mills harvested the e.
quivalent of 355 bushels per acre
where he planted hill-selected stock
and only 176 bushels where he
planted stock selected in the usual
manner.
In the fall of 1851, Mills saved
512 bushels of stock, selecting only
from hills having five or more No.
l roots. This year he planted four
tenths of an acre using these these
seed; this land produced 142 BUSH
els. On adjacent land, he planted
seed selected in the usual man
ner, and from four-tenths of an
acre harvested only 70.5 bushels.
Mills saved the entire produc-
ton of the hill-selected plants to
be used as seed next year. He again
practiced hill-selection in this par
ticular field.
Other growers are practicing
hill-selection and are getting yields
20 to 100 per cent above normal.

STILL A MARVEL
(Raleigh News and Observer

The celebration of the 49th. an
niversary of the first airplane
flight by the. Wright brothers at
Kill Devil Hill this week was the
greatest to date, although it is ex-
pected to be exceeded when the
50th anniversary rolls around
next year.
The event was epoch-making.
There have also been other
epoch-making events, which are
celebrated to. a much lesser ex-
tent, if at all. Why the difference?
The reason seems to be that
the airplane is still a marvel to
the average person, including
millions who ride in them and
thousands who propel them. AL
though it's use has become ordi-
nary, the airplane is not yet re-
garded as an ordinary thing COM
parable to such things as steam
engines, automobiles, electric
lights, telephones and even atom
ic bombs.
All of these things began as
marvels and the atomic bomb is
still strange and awesome, but
the airplane is different.
Even people who ride in them
almost daily can still remember
their first flight and those who
have never done so talk about
the flights they never expect to
make.
