Brewing Co., decided to get a
complete answer. Based on inter-
views with 6.340 middle income
housewives in nine northeastern
states, statistical analysis of the
replies disclosed that mothers of
one to three children are really
''on duty" in and around the
home for 80 to 100 hours a
week.
The discovery, incidentally,
was confirmed by another study
which approached the problem
from another angle. Professor

that most housewives had only
two hours of leisure during their

have a heavier load because,
while mechanical devices make

often sent out, is now done with
home equipment. Also. domestic

AND finally. today's mother,
with her greater understanding
of mental hygiene, is acutely
aware that what she does can
influence her child's entire future
happiness. The great response

Thus today's younger house
wife bears a heavy load of both
work and worry. Should she have

The showing at the Strand of

follows the pattern of light opera
All OF the songs further the plot "a.

Leigh Harline wrote the music
and Ned Washington the lyrics for
six songs. They are Little Wood

"Geppetto; when You Wish Upon

the opening Of the picture, acting
as a theme strain; Got No

show; Give a Little Whistle. J, an
other song by Jimmy; "Hi.diddle-

Besides these six songs the story
and music collaborates on some
novelty effects, such as the SYM
phoriies of the clocks and the music
boxes.
The Disney imagination found
plenty of inspiration in the adven-
lures Of 'Pinocchio" as written BY
Carlos Lorenzini, who wrote under
the name of c. Collodi.
Inc characters required to tell
Pinocchio's story range from real
ity to fancy. Among the creature
figures, Jimmy Cricket plays the
lead, because Of his gay PERSONAL

science, and his red umbrella. jim

the villains (the Fox and the Cat)

the two pets Of Geppetto, Figaro
the Kitten and Cleo the Goldfish

the Whale need words to help him
create terror. Another important
character is the Blue Fairy.
The adventures of Pinocchio are
animated against backgrounds of

Miss Universe
Once Felt Like
Ugly DuekIing
~ DsL Booth


Miriam Stevenson used 20 sit in
front Of her mirror and cry be-
cause she, thought she was ugly.
But that was when she was 10.
Now, at ri, this seIf-styled ugly
ducMing is acclaimed the most
beautiful girl in the world.
The freckles which made her
fearful at 10 turned into an asset
which helped win her the title of
Miss U. S. A., as the most whole
some American beauty; and led
to her selection as Miss Universe.
How does one grow an American
beauty?
That was the question put to
Mirian's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Leonard Stevenson. The recipe
seems to be: Take a normal little
girl, give her q happy rural child
hood and lots of buttermiIk, healthy
portions of fun and family love and
let nature take its course.
Locating the prosperous Steven
son farm with its one-story frame
house is no problem at all to a
stranger-everyoIle in these parts
knows the SteveTisons.
If you tried to classify Miriam.
you'd probably put her down as
an outdoor girl.
Yet even before she began
school she had learned to sew and
cook, and has designed and made
nearly all her own clothes since
she was halfway through gram
mar school.
Her prizes include q chance at
movie StardOm contract at Uni
versal- international for six weeks
at $3.50 weekly. For this she will
postpone her senior year in col
lege. And the studio says she also
will give up her southern accent.
