HOLLYWOOD (AP).-Actress June Caywroth says
Hollywoods era Of the sex starlet Is over.
To-day" says the actress "so-called models are q
dime dozen ct supermarket openings, premieres and
other openings but seldom in movies.
Budgets strict these days that the shapely
"featherbed" staretS who can't act aren't in movies
just because they're the producers girl friends.
Carlo Bergman Harlow-they weren't girls they
were women. And that was the movies greatest era.
Now the trend is back to maturity Maturity of beauty
as well as acting" Ill
Miss Caywroth is the wife Of film executive Sid
Rogell but she comments:
IF you think that's an advantage nowadays In
getting roles forget it. I don't mention I'm married
to him when go additions"

Dam Dedication Up Degrees for Salmon

BEDDING, Calf. LR - President Kennedy dedicates this Saturday the WhiskeytoWn Dam which will provide hot and cold running wa ter for spawning salmon.
 This is the first dam designed by the U. s. Bureau of Recla- nation providing such service.
 Salmon like water of 55 de- grees Fahrenheit for spawning. But water behind the dam can vary from 30 to 40 degrees from the surface to the bottom.
 So WhiskeptoWn Dam, near Red ding, will have built-in control gates at two levels. Water from each outlet can be mixed to pro- vide just the right temperature for the fish.

Seppala Birthday HOnored

Leonard Seppala, the world s most noted living dog musher," celebrated his Seth birthday on Sept. II, with many oldtime friends calling all through the day The home was filled with flower gifts and a birthday cake, centered with colored picture of Sep" and his dogs, and surrounded on the two tiers with 86 candles in tiny cups. It was the gift of MT. and Mrs. Roy B. Earling, oldtime Fairbanks friends
 As one talked with this dog lov- CT, he was reminded of Togo his leader. and of the 84 miles he drove one day through the winter blizzards in 1925 to help bring serum in relay teams from Nenana, 658 miles away. On September 13, Sen. Bob Bartlett paid tribute in the Senate to MT. Seppala and to all other pioneers whose dogs had given service in many ways in ear Her days. Men and dogs, working together" said Bartlett, "opened Alaska, carrying mails and sup plies"

New Disease

Do you scold your children when they chew their fingernails? You may also find foursef scold- ing them about "eraserophagia," a frequent childhood habit of nib- bling-and swallowing eraserS.
 Take a look at your child's classroom pencils. Signs of tooth marks or chewing, and absence of chunks of the eraser, could indi- cate your youngster has been inad- vertently adding to his diet.
 Should a child become ill and require an X-ray examination, the radiologist may observe these bits of eraser as unexplained opaque, white spots on the radiograph
 In a recent report to the medi- cal profession, two radiologist col leagues of mine detailed the dis covery of these unusual white spots scattered throughout the CO., lon Qarge intestine) of young chil- dren. No medical history could provide the reason for the spots.
 Led by the clue of a nibbled pen cil, the medical detectives were so intrigued by their findings that they chewed some erasers them selves, proving their diagnosis and labelling the disease ''erasero- phagia."
 Erasers show up on X-ray film only if they contain certain sub- stances. such as "lithophone, which is harmless ingredient but clearly evident on the film.
 While erasers do not have much flavor, it has now become evident through the diagnostic use of X rays that "eraserophagia" is prob ably a rather common habit among school children.

 Pact with Interior Road Contractor

JUNEAU LR - Regional Engin- ger William J. Niemi of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads today termed inspections of a highway construction project in the Tal- keetna area rather routine"
 Niemi said, however, that there were some unusual aspects to the job. involving the grading of some four miles of new roadway on the Anchorage Fairbanks Highway near Sunshine and the construc- tion of a bridge across the Su- sitna River.
 Niemi commented after a for mer Highway Department employe charged in Anchorage that he was instructed to falsify records to hide faulty construction.
 Another former employe on the job, an oiler for the contractor, was quoted as saying the state per- mitted stumps to be buried in fill work needed for the road.
 Robert E. Sharp, deputy high way commissioner, said the latter charge apparently involved the construction of an access road to the bridge site.
 ''We gave the contractor permis- sion to build the access road and to incorporate it later in the high way grading work" Sharp said, with the understanding that it had to be brought up to specifications. "
 "The access road wasn't up to specifications and wasn't expected to be.
 The main point that has been overlooked is that neither the state nor the Bureau of Public Roads has accepted the job, and they won't unless the work is up to specifications"
 Niemi said the audits and inves- tigations inspection of the high. way work involved had not been completed. and he said he had not yet received a field report from his district engineer.
