"Appropriations for the Yankton Hospital have been increased' by $776,000 and an increase of $385,000 has been made for Redfield," she said.

Opening her talk with a brief review of the National Mental Health Act, hieh was adopted in 1946 for the assistance and prevention of mental illness, the speaker outlined the organization of the South Dakota Mental Health Association in Aberdeen in 1947 by John Foster. The parents' part In preventing mental illness was also stressed by Miss Mastrovich, who reported on the highlights of the Mental Health Conference held in Sioux Falls last year. "Parents' must retain mental health in their children by providing basic need's to keep them satisfied, developing a feeling of security in the children by treating them like adults and accepting them as one of the family," she said. The report of Dr. Riley Guthrie, National Institute of Mental Health, made following an exhaustive survey of both state hospitals in 1950 was also reviewed by the speaker.

Miss Matrovich said the reports revealed an inadequacy of personnel and salaries and overcrowded conditions with a waiting list of over 600 seeking admittance to Redfield State Hospital. "Dr. Guthrie's reports were not to primarily criticize but to commend for carrying on under such a financial handicap," the speaker pointed out. The welfare worker concluded with the request that the public voice its demands. "It is the only way in which mental patients will receive the care which they need," She said.

By ERSKINE JOHNSON Journal Staff Sorrespondent Hollywood fNEA) Movies Without 0 p-corn: "The Lion and the Horse" Jj I -i- 'something I II tells me this ti- tie will have to go is winding up at Warners' and I watch Steve Cochran, the star, play a scene with Ray Teal and moppet Sherry Jackson. Steve's face is lathered and, he draws a rafcor over his chin as he speaks his line.

When the scene is finished, I notice that only one side of Steve's face the side nearest the camera is covered with the sudsy stuff. In Hollywood there's nothing behind the buildifigs that you see on the screen and you can't even trust a movie shave. Mitzi Gaynor Is before the cameras at Fox in a scene "The I Don't Care Girl" the movie biography of Eva Tan- guay- Mitzi will get down to bare essentials later in the picture, but right now she's wearing a long skirt and a high-necked shirtwaist the turn-of-the-century period'. A player piano tinkles "On the Mississippi" and lively, boupcing Mitzi, as a waitress in a Manhattan delicatessen, between, the tables. As the sequence ends, Mitzi massages her mitts.

Tanguay always waved her hands around and I'm not used to it;" she wails. "I can wave other things around, but not my hands." Producer Stanley Kramer is filming "My Six Convicts" at Columbia and I watch Gilbert Roland and Millard Mitchell, as prisoners, enact a scene with John Beal, who portrays a big house psychologist. In the background, wearing a baker's uniform, I spot an actor named Keith. Remember him? Something like 26 years ago, Donald Keith was Clara Bow's leading man in a movie titled "The Plastic Age." In that picture were two extras Clark Gable and Gilbert Roland. Today Gable and 'Roland are stars.

Keith is now an extra an extra in a former extra's starring picture. Three-hundred-and-fifty dancers are whirling arc nd a gold-draped crystal-chandeliered ball-room for the' waltz in MGM's "The Merry Widow. It's gay, glittery and as sparkling as chamoaene. In the spotlight is Lana Turner in i form -fitting, blacK veivei, low cut evenine sown. Her diamonds and emeralds glitter in the lights.

Lana is breathtaking and the excitement is contagious. It almost sweeps away Director Curtis Bernhardt who stands on an 80-foot parallel, field-gcncraling the entire scene. Anxious to start a new scene, he is about to signal the camera when he shouts: "No, no, I can't see Lana for the people." Huh? I couldn't see the people for Lana. The scene in "Lovely lo Look At" at MGM has a dozen workmen busy remodeling the exterior of a smart French dress shop. In t.ie midst of the painting and hammering.

Marge and Gower Champion are supposed to be rehearsing a dance. The rehearsal is distracting to the extras hired as painters and carpenters. They'd rather watch, no matter what the script says. Director Merryn LeRoy rehearses the scene but the painters still drop their brushes to watch Marge and Gower. Fin ally LeRoy Issues an edict.

"Paint." he shouts. "Pain' "Paint so I can hear it." The transformation of Virginia Mavo from a star who occasionally dabbles in- musicals into an all-out dancing, prancing, singing movie queen is taking place in She Working Her Way Through Col- lege, Virginia. In the role of a bur- lesquc star, is wearing costume of gold fringe voice booms over the machine: "Oh hahre. what 1 scanty and her playback wouldn't do-o-o-o, rml-lentv of money and vou-hoo-hoo." It's ey.e-popping and mouth-drop, ping, with Virginia's gold Mnge fossing like wheat in the wind The males on the set gulp and blink. AH except one studio workman.

Maybe Virginia Mayo in a hand-kerchief-sized costume is just the bait to keep movie houses packed, but he's snoring away blissfully. By JOHN ROBERT POWERS Four things add up to a beautiful figure diet, posture, exercise, and a girdle. The girdle may be a mere wisp but it is sure to delineate the difference between a curve and a bulge. And thats the difference between the beauty and the bump tious. Easy Slimming With current fashions, what a girdle does for the waist is most important.

The new models fit above the waistline in a way that smooths the diaphragm and helps to pull your waist out of your hips at all times, whether you are sit ting, walking or standing. You can augment the effect with this waist slimming exercise: Lie on the floor with your knees bent, soles on the floor, and hands resting lightly on your thighs. Sliding your hands toward your knees, lift your head and shoulders as high as you can. Roll them back (don't drop back) to the floor again. Work up to the point at which you can easily do this twenty-five times daily and then "be sure that you do! When you see the snug and upping waistlines of the new spring fashions you'll be' glad you started this exercise in January, You'll also want a slimmer thigh- line to grace those new fashions that have rippling skirts.

A four-section foundation with firm side panels will help, but this exercise performed ten times a day will help even more: Assume the same starting position mentioned above. Drop both knees over to smack the floor, first right and then left, Jetting the inner surfaces of the thighs slap with each fall. As a dividend, this will reduce your derriere. too. Posterior View If you are really worried about your posterior view, choose A girdle with a staunch, down-stretch back, panel.

Also, start counting your calories and pull your buttocks taut in under your body as an exercise whenever you are standing or walking. Don't depend on any one element alone diet, posture, exercise, or a girdle to proportion your figure. It takes all four to achieve the form divine! If that's for you in '52, get busy!
