Singer Hits Dance
Floor ShOw-Offs
APP Newsfeatures

One of the pet peeves of dark,
handsome singer Tommy Sands is
a show-off dancer. He says:
Its just as if the dancer were
in an exhibition, rather than out
for dance fun. You'll even see one
partner dance away from the other,
facing her, leaving the partner to
shift alone"
The male partner USUALLY is
guilty of that fault, but the girl is
likely to pull her share of unpleas-
ant stunts too, such as hanging
around the bandstand ogling the
boys in the band, says Tommy, who
adds:
Its pretty embarrassing for a
fellow to date girl who makes up
to the band. I'd hate it."
Another type of girl who rates
criticism in his estimation is the
one who is always looking around
while she dances to make sure ev-
eryone is aware of her presence.
She steers her partner to the edge
of the dance floor so everyone can
stare at her.

News About Veterans
Loan Programs

Because Of the recent approval
of Kent and Sussex Counties in
Delaware as direct loan areas, the
following information concerning
the direct loan program has been
released by Leon Fields, Manager
of the Wilmington Regional Office
of the Veterans Administration:
Direct loans made by the Vet
Grams Administration are available
only for financing of homes or
farms. In the case of a farm there
must be house on the property in
which the veteran intends to live.
To save time, the first step the
veteran should take is to secure a
certificate of eligibility. This can
be applied for at any VA office, but
the veteran must furnish his orig
inal separation papers.
The next step, Mr.. Fields said,
is to find the property the veteran
wishes to buy and to attemt to OBJ
tain a CT Loan from the lending
institution of the locality. If the
veteran is unsuccessful in this, he
should then write to the Veterans
Administration Regional Office, st.
Paul and Fayette Streets, Balti-
more, Maryland. In this letter the
veteran should state that he wishes
to apply for a direct loan and give
brief information regarding the
home he wishes TO buy.
This letter will be acknowledged
and the veteran will be told where
his name stands upon the waiting
list. The establishment of a waiting
list is necessary because the ap
proving of any direct loan is con-
tingent upon funds being available.
When the veterans name is
reached on the waiting list, the
Baltimore office will send him the
necessary forms and instructions
for completing them. A prompt re-
ply of the veteran at this point will
expedite the processing of his ap-
plication.
1t should be remembered that the
Veteran Administration has the
responsibility of determining that
the applicant is a satisfactory
credit risk and has the ability to
repay the proposed loan. One of
the forms sent to the veterans will
be a questionable touching. upon
this matter or credit.
The certificate of eligibility ap-
piled for earlier should be held by
the veteran and submitted with his
final application.

Tommy is not a prude about
cheek-to-cheek dancers, however,
and doesn't think close dancing is
in bad taste. He says:
81 would much rather see a cou-
pie dance and look like they are
enjoying each others company by
copying up than to dance so far
apart they look like they are fore
ing themselves to enjoy the dance"
Tommy has seen a good many
dance floors during his career, hav-
ing made personal appearances in
hotels. He has appeared on tele-
vision, radio and in motion pic
lures, but thinks his biggest thrill
is coming up.
when l appear with Count Basic
at the Waldorf Astoria soon, it'll
really be the high point of my ca
reer because I've always admired
him, and his music" says the 21-
year-old singer.
Tommy regrets that rock n roll
has been so abused, remarking:
1--WE always liked rhythm and
blues, the start of rock n roll, but
they're really running it these days
Elvis Presley is a great singer. he
can really put some feeling into
rock n roll, and that's what counts
about a song, whether it is CLASH
cal, popular. hill-billy or what have
you"
Classical music and progressive
Jazz do mot intrigue Tommy. He
doesn't like a song without pattern
or melody.
Tommy's two movies were "Sing,
Boy, Sing" and "Mardi Gras." He
likes to swim and ride horses. He
rode his first horse at the age of
s. having lived in Texas as a child.
He was born in Chicago. raised in
Shreveport and Houston and NOV
ed on to Hollywood. He has a won
derful collection of drums, includ-
ing an African grass-cutting bongo
drums. He collects records and
thinks Frank Sinatra is the great
est singer today.
His big ambition in life: to play
Billy the Kid.
"It would be a real challenge"
Tommy says, because no one real
ly knows what made Billy the Kid
tick. 1t would be fun to try to
make sense out of the role and
play IL with real conviction.

Danger! Throw Away
Plastic Bags
APP Newsfeatures

Our chronological age is con-
stantly making daily life easier
and pleasanter, but sometimes an
improvement brings with it un-
expected dangers.
1t is self-evident that power NOW
ers carry with them the possible
danger of getting a foot or hand
injured. Almost all power tools
are made with safety devices built
into them, and customers are warn
ed to avoid misuses which might
result in accidental injury.
But that plastic bags could be
dangerous comes as a tragic sur
prise.
Dry cleaners recently began to
deliver cleaned clothing covered
with large plastic bags. These bags
are certainly practical for the pur-
pose for which they were designed.
They are light in weight, their
transparency makes the contents
visible without destroying the COW
ering. The plastic is alright, it
is dirt and moisture proof. Be
cause of their many advantages the
dry cleaning industry is rapidly
adopting such bags as routine
packaging.
Peril To Children
But these clear, thin, transpar-
ent bags must not be given to a
child to play with. The child may
put the bag over his head. If he
does, the plastic will very likely
cling to his head and body and cut
off all circulation of air. The child,
realizing he cannot breathe, begins
to claw at the bag. The plastic,
however, is tough and doesn't tear;
the more the child pulls it, the clos
er it clings to the skin. The child
becomes terrified, struggles and
screams. His violent exertions rap
idly uses up the last vestiges of air
inside the bag. In a few moments
the child suffocates and, unless
someone is right there to pull the
bag from his head, he sinks into
a coma and soon dies.
A good many such terrible TRACE
dies have been reported in the last
few months. There have been re-
rial as a cover over crib mattress.
A child wriggling around in his bed
soon loosens the plastice from the
mattress and is all too likely to
bury his face in it's soft folds with
disastrous results.
Who could guess that such an
attractive Misunderstanding object
has within it the power to do so
much harm so very quickly?
Warning To Parents
Nevertheless such is the case and
all parents need to be warned to
keep plastic bags away from their
children.
Other industries beside dry
cleaning have been using plastic
bags to cover their merchandise
bags large enough to do damage to
children. Pillows, curtains, blank
cts are more and more being mar
keted in plastic bags.
The industries involved have
been as Mortified as the general
public to learn of the occasional
death caused by their plastic bags.
Doubtless before long each bag will
carry some warning message tell
ing people not to let children put
these bags over their heads, but in
the meantime parents should guard
against possible risks involved in
letting a child play with a plastic
bag large enough to go over his
head.
The safest practice is to tie the
bags in a knot and throw them
away Immediately after delivery.
