Miller said Michigan is one of the few states that has developed a program to screen tourists for industrial prospects.

Tips for Teens By ELINOR WILLIAMS Here's that vacation question again! Should a girl write to her boy friend while he or she is away? What do you think? A high school girl writes: "Is it all right to write to your boy friend while you are away at camp even if he didn't suggest it?" Answer-It's better to be sure that a boy wants to write to you before you reach for your pen. Some boys hate to write letters; many of them like to receive letters and are willing to write to their steady or favorite date.

It's usually up to the girl to suggest letter-writing; boys just don't think of it in advance. Next time you have letter on your mind, mention the subject before you go away "I hope I'll hear from you while I'm at camp," or "Are New Studio Offers 3-D Bridal Photos Norman Shaver Photography Studio, 1103 W.

14 (P)-It's time we came to grips with the issue of name-dropping. Name-dropping ranks with sex and scrabble as one of Hollywood's three favorite pastimes. There may be some squares who have never heard of the expression, so I'll explain. When Hollywood. character drops a name, he is using the ancient system of gilt by association.

No doubt some early Roman remarked casually to friends, "Ran into Julius the other day; I gave him the name of my toga tailor." He was referring, of course, to Ceasar. Likewise, an actor today might comment: "Oh, that Lana! We were talking the other night at Clifton's. She told me that Ava and Frankie BIG WHEEL Get the picture? The speaker drops a few names into the conversation, making it seem that he is a big wheel. got some inside info on the name issue from an exton. Mind you, he ofpert on the subject, Chantion, Hesfender himself.

He is merely an amused observer of this Hollywood habit. It all arose when we were lunching between scenes of "Blue Horizons." A photographer came up and said he was "shooting Kelly today." I didn't know whether he meant Gene, Paul or Little Nelly. It turned out he was speaking of Grace. "This is the reverse-twist namedropper," Heston explained. "The name-dropper uses first names only.

A dead giveaway. But the reverse-twister drops the last of unusual familiarity. name, thus giving the 'impression "The technique can be carried even further. There is the undue deference variety. This fellow refers to people as 'Mr.

Crosby' or 'Miss People who hear this figure, 'Oh, he must know those stars really well to refer to them SO "Then the obscure name method. This fellow doesn't bother with the more familiar nicknames, like Bogie (Humphrey Bogart), Gadge (Elia or Bart (Herbert Marshall). He'll casually drop a reference to Kit or Buzz. Then you have to think for a while and figure out that he means Katherine Cornell or Burgess Meredith. "Still another variety is the realname dropper.

He isn't content to call stars by their stage names. He uses their real names, indicating that he has known the stars from 'way back. For instance, he'll refer to Cary Grant as Archie or Ray Milland as Jack." UNDUE FAMILIARITY On the semi-serious side, Heston deplored the undue familiarity of people in Hollywood. "I think it's all right to maintain a first-name basis with a fellow actor of the corresponding age and he remarked. "But I can't see calling everyone by his first name, particularly when more mature and distinguished actors are concerned.

For instance, I traveled for a year with the but Katharine Cornell company, never felt I should call her anything but Miss Cornell." Not so some Hollywoodians. I've seen young set workers tell Miss Barrymore, "move a little to the right, Ethel." And now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Joe and Marilyn. That's Joe Grubnik and Marilyn Crampton, of course. 2 Small Boys Warn Speeders of Trap WESTFIELD, N. Aug.

In the main, the boys need male guidance since they come from Says Quint Smothered In Pillow MONTREAL, Aug. 14 (P)-The Quebec medico-legal expert who performed an autopsy on Quintuplet Emilie Dionne explained last night that she accidentally smothered herself in her pillow during an epileptic seizure.

Apparently anxious to dispel any notions that Emilie died of epilepsy, Dr. Rosario Fontaine amplified his earlier findings. Fontaine said that following his investigation last Saturday he had announced that the 20-year-old girl "died of acute asphyxiation during an attack of epilepsy." "This declaration was exact," he said last night, "but perhaps incomplete because I omitted to state that the victim had accidentally suffocated herself in her pillow. Such a declaration was impossible for me to make at the time because I had not yet resuch confirmation from the police." He said the police investigation of her death last Friday at a Catholic hostel in Ste. Agathe, subsequently had revealed she was found dead in bed, face downward in her pillow.
