HUNTING WORMS is not an un-
usual chore this time of year when
the fish are biting at the Buckeye,
but has become almost a full-time
job for Linda Umphress, six-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Maurice
Umphress, who is playing mother to
baby robin at her home on Moth
Jackson street.
Linda adopted the baby robin, or
the robin adopted Linda no one
knows which after the mother bird
was killeo. The little first grader
keeps her bird with the two chicks
she brought home from a class visit
to Amstutz Hatcheries at Easter time
The chicks are getting trifle large
for baby robin companion, but they
seem to get along together nicely.
JUST ANOTHER MUSHROOM
story or two and we promise to drop
the subject for this season. The latest
is DIR. Gordon Bixefs find of 40 large
grey sponge mushrooms under an
apple tree at his former home on
North Spring street, now owned by
DR.. Richard Weaver and family.
The mushroom find was not pure
luck. DR.. Bixel has discovered way
to grow them, Last year he cleaned
a number of the large grey sponges
that grow best in orchards and
Intentionally tossed the rinse water
and cuttings onto the ground under
meath an apple tree. Sure enough,
when he went to look over the
grounds, there were 40 of the same
specie The forebears of the mush-
rooms had come from Pennsylvania.
Now Gordon is planning on growing
some at his new home on South Main
street.
INCIDENTALLY t h B Blufft o n
optometrist reports he has had an
increasing demand for special spec
tacle lenses that will aid in finding the
elusive morel. Sorry to report that
DR.. Bixel has been unable to
accommodate in this respect.
WHILE STILL ON THE SUBJECT
of mushrooms, Herb Rutter, manager
of the Bluffton and Deshler Charles
Company stores, reports finding more
than a bushel of morels in the
Houghton lake area of Michigan. We
haven't had report on Ed Bader-
tscher's planned Michigan hunt.

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT: A
handsome buffalo girl put in its ap-
pearance on the Ralph Crawfis farm
at Mount Coory last Friday. The calf
is the first one born in the herd be-
longing to Miss Beverly Crawfis which
has lived. Two other calves born to
another COW have both died.
The purchase of seven more fully
grown animals now brings the bison
total to an even dozen in Beverly 8
herd. The Mount Cory girl has also
stocked four head of elk and four
European deer on her fathers farm.
She still hopes someday to open a
restaurant offering Buffalo Bergers
as the principal attraction.
MISS BRENDA TAFT, granddaugh-
ter of Mrs. Lena Dillman, who was
recently crowned Miss Blossomtime
of Southwestern Michigan's Blossom
Festival, has appeared on dozer

HOLLYWOOD - Michel Ray who zoomed to

peasant lad in the current release of RKOs $2OOOOOO
production of "The Brave One, actually is blue-eyed
Jewish boy born in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire
England IL years ago. His full name is Michel David
Ray Pepper
IN A SPECIAL interview, his mother, Mrs. Henry
Alfred Pepper herself native of England who is
proud of her and her husbands Jewish ancestry told
this columnst how young Michel broke into the mo-
vies less than two years ago. without any dramatic
schooling whatsoever and without having seen movies
other than the Coronation newSree fOOtage and the
cartoon feature "Bambi."
Sir Michael Balloon, head of Ealing Studios, was
then looking for ten-year-old boy who was an ex-
pert SKIER spoke German uently and could be taken
for Slavic type. mutual acquaintance suggested
Michel for the role.
SINCE THE BOY had the qualifications and
seemed to be perfect for the part, he the much
talked about role of the Yugoslav refugee who grew
up in German foster home to be reclaimed after the
war; "The Divided Heart" based on an actual case,
was widely publicized in this country including a
spread in "Iife" magazine.
1t also got Michel Ray assignment in Robert
Adlas television SERIES Secret File USA," then pro-
duced in Amsterdam, Holland. AS Mrs. Pepper whose
husband is well-to-do- business executive with Of
fees in London and New York. told me, after compile
ton of the TV films the parents decided to discontinue
Michers movie altogether, to let him grow up
in a normal environment
MICHEL RAY was sent to a school in SWltzer-
land and acting was forgotten for the time being.
While the parents holiday in Austria, they
received wire from Arnold Shanks who had been
fnctioning assistant director on the TV series
and remembered the performance of Michel Ray.
He asked the Peppers to come to Rome and pre-
sent their son to film director Irving Rapper at the
RKO Offices for the possible lead in the CinemaScopeI
feature "The Brave One" then planned for produc-
ton in Spain The reluctant mother finally agreed to
meet the director in Zurich
THE FIRST reading convinced Rapper that he
had found in Michel the fiery Mexican ranch boy
though young Ray with his freckles and auburn hair
looked more Irish than Spanish The film director was
afraid to tell his producers King Brothers of Holly
wood that the young star for whom he had been
searching for almost year-actually had blue eyes,
MICHEL is AN expert swimmer, plays tennis,
and practices piano daily for full hour. He has been
attending the French Lycee in London and currently
studies Hebrew to add the language to the six others
he already speaks fuenty. The Peppers are of Ger
