ttmidly.
Elisofen and Huston looked
at me, pityingly. 1.-THE bite
Of a gorilla Is the most poison
Gus thing in the world" ex-
planned Elisofen. "a gorilla
bit him through the thumb,
right down to the bone. I
stuck his hand in my Develop
ing fluid Immediately. It
damn near took the skin Of,
it was that strong. Then we
rushed him to q hospital and
he was there for nine
months"
First White Men In?
'That happened when we
were shooting African Queen"
said Huston. 1T was rugged
country"
This guy Huston" said Els
ofen. picked out the most
God-foresaken spot in Africa.
He wanted to find q river
whose water was so black that
it would reflect like a mirror.
Week after week, he went
deeper into the jungle and
finally picked a spot where no
white man had ever reached
before. It had the river he
wanted and it also had the
most vicious gorillas on the
continent. Even the native
boys were scared.
Luckily, in the Huston unit,
was a doctor who was expert
on tropical diseases. Gener-
ally, when photographers go
out on an assignment Of this
type, we're on our own. We
take along our own private
load of penicillin, with all the
syringes and needles for self
injection. If you don't carry
the stuff, you're Just out Of
luck because sometimes it's
hundreds of miles to a native
hospital and, If you become
infected, you never make it to
the hospital"
Ernie Anderson was looking
at. his wrist watch and glaring
at Huston. We've got to leave
right now" he protested.

Hundreds Of them" said
Anderson, YEARLY. ITO this
day, I don't know how you ever
finished, 'Moby Dick"

groaned Huston, saying his
au revoirS.
What flight are you on?"
I asked Huston.
First I'll go to Dublin for a
few days, pack my stuff-then
Paris and on to India"
"They tell me you're the best
shot in all of show business"

Don't you ever believe it,"
he advised. THE greatest

least four shows have been in
so far.
Currently a band of stylistS
headed by Vincente Escudero,
a 62-year-old legend in the
jota-and-boler world, is at
the Playhouse for two weeks.
The experts at such matters
have hailed his return after
20 years on a farewell tour as
an aesthetic triumph for de-
voices.
But Spanish dancing is an
art form of somewhat less than
universal appeal. The rash Of
bookings into midtown theatres
normally reserved for dramatic
presentations is puzzling.
The other Broadway arrival
of the week was "The South
west Corner" a New England
comedy by John Cecil Holm
with Eva LeGallienne starred.
The critics generally found the
Offering at the holiday a rather
small play with a warm human
feeling. Enid Markey makes
herself a leading candidate for
supporting honors Of the year

porter was contenting him

tered toast and a cereal SUBJ
stitute for coffee. But here on
East Fifty-fifth street, only a
few strides from sleek Fifth

sounded like Ernest Heming-

were continent droppers.

of soft-boiled egg. trembled.

"Tiger hunting" he ex-
planned matter-of- -factly.
"Oh," I said weakly.
Great sport" he said.
Ancient Technique
Huston's aide de camp, be-
spectacled Ernie Anderson,
rushed over from the other
end of the table: you've got
exactly is minutes before we
leave for the airport, john"
he advised. Before you go

Madeiras."
LetS see them, asked
Photographer Eliot Elisofen.
THAT big fellow sinking the
harpoon looks like a real pro-
fessional," he said expertly.
HE should look like a pro-"
agreed Anderson. "All of these
whalers are native Portu-
gueSe. Their whaling tech
nique goes back for centuries.
Two of them were badly
wounded on that same day."
Remember, john" chuck

Africa when the gorilla ripped
my shirt OFF,"

Huston. "How did that

ing the school year. In these
meetings the All member learns
cooperation, group planning
parliamentary procedure and
planning. He learns by actually
falling part in these phases OF
the All program and thus learn
by doing. Demonstrations on
project work are given at these
meetings by the Farm and Home
Agents to teach new methods OF
farming and homemaking. Mem
bers also receive training in cit
izenship, health, and farm safe
ty.
Any rural boy or girl between
the ages of 10 and 81 years may
join the All Club. The one re-
quirement is that the member
must take at least one project in
some phase of agriculture or
homemaking. Besides the project
work All offers boys and girls
an opportunity to participate in
All Judging Contests, give dem
onstrations, Public Speaking
Beef Cattle Shows, Dairy Shows,
Poultry Shows, Swine Shows,

schools. These school clubs viii
observe National Club Week in
various ways such as: window
displays. news articles. posters,
radio programs, project exhibits,
and special programs in the
schools. The purpose Of National
Al Club Week is to acquaint
the public with the All club
program.
All Club work has been going
on and off in Columbus County
for 30 years. 1t made its largest
gains in the late World War II
years after additions of new per-
sonnet to the County Extension
Staff. The work has progressed
steadily ever since. AS the num-
Der of All members increased a
need was felt for more leaders
to help with the All program
The County and Home Agents
found that it was impossible tc
give personal attention to sc
many boys and girls. To solve
this Problem it was decided to
organize community b-H clubs
under the supervision of volun-
tary leaders in the various COM
munities Of the county. The first
community All Club was organ
lied in 1949 and since that time
the number of clubs has increas-
ed to twenty with over foul
hundred All members.
The purpose of the community
clubs is to supplement the Al
program that Is carried on in the
school All clubs. The local lead
ers Of the community clubs are
able to give their members per-
sonal supervision and encourage
them in various activities. The
community All clubs provide
opportunities for recreation that
is not possible in the school
clubs. Members are given train
ing in many fields of recreation
such as: music, arts, crafts, Soc
ial recreation, and recreation
designed to meet the needs OF
the individual and the family
group. Community clubs are be-
ing organized as fast as qualifi-
cd leaders can be found. The
clubs organized SO far have
made a great contribution to the
All program.
In the school clubs, members
assemble once each month dur
