Outdoor Symphony on At Hollywood Bowl By BILL BECKER HOLLYWOOD (AP) Hollywood Bowl, jvhich barely staggered through its 30th year last season, tonight opens its 31st season of symphony under the stars with high vliopes and sounder fiscal policy. The new management, in the belief that good music should be as inexpensive as good basebaU, has lowered the price of the moonlight bleacher seats to 50' cents. The reasoning Is that 10,000 persons at four bits a head are worth more to the Bowl's continued well being than half filled general admission seats at one dollar. In all, the great outdoor amphitheater seats 20,000. The other 10,000 include the regular boxhold- ers and music patrons who can afford to shell out from $1.50 to $3.50 per ticket.

But, as any impressario can attest, if you don't keep the little money coming, you're in a venture so allegedly highbrow as classicial music. The bowl found that out last year when a disastrous opening week production of. "Die Fleder- maus" drew an average of less than 5,000 persons a night. The lavish production lost an estimated $50,000 and forced the bowl to shut down and reorganize. Artists rallied to donate their talents for most of the remaining 1951 season.

But it remained for John Q. music lover to square accounts. The general public tossed $80,000 into an emergency fund to complete reorganization of the project. Symphony concerts will prevail this summer on Tuesday and Thursdays, with Saturdays devoted to pops. Six nights of ballet will provide a mid-summer break in August.

TUESDAY SPECIAL Tomorrow and Every Tuesday From Now On DOUBLE EAGLE STAMPS With Every Purchase Mode On Tuesdays You Receive A Double Amount Of Eagle Your Extra Savings tWE OUAUTV CORNER OF MX VERNON Join Youngsters in Their Play As Companion, Not Spectator Don't always be just a spectator to your children's fun if you really want to enjoy them. Join right in and have fun with them, learning as they learn, playing as they play, exploring as they explore.

Fathers seem to know this secret for enjoying children better than mothers. But it works for mothers, too. This summer don't take your children to the swimming pool and sit on a bench beside the pool, the way so many mothers do, watching your children have fun. Get in there with them and have some of the fun yourself; Even if you don't know how to can learn. When one of your children is interested in a hobby, share his fun by learning something about it yourself.

Instead of sitting back and saying: "That's very interesting, Johnny," let go and really let yourself GET interested. Help Children Find Answers To Questions When your children ask for information, and what you can tell them on a subject is scanty, help them get the information they want instead of putting them off with vague answers. You'll be learning as much as they are, and learning is fun. In short, if you really want to enjoy your children come down off your onlooker's perch and join them. Dont be so self-consciously a mother.

Be a friend, a companion, a sharer of fun. That's the only real way to enjoy your children, to join in their interests and to share your own with them. The "mama" sitting beside the pool while her children swim is doing her duty, being a mother who sees to it that her children have a good time.

Klein, of Amarillo, Texas. A member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon social fraternity and Alpha Kappa Psi, ey Associated Press HOLLYWOOD Some of the American girls who wound up as "also rans" in the Miss Universe contest recently in Long Beach, do not agree with Miss Italy who said in her native Rome Sunday that an American girl should have been crqwned winner. The Italian miss contended the contest was rigged in favor of Miss Finland, who won, as an Olympic Games publicity stunt. The Italian contestant Giovanna Mazzotti, a movie starlet, said she was particularly impressed with the "beauty and perfection" of some American entrants. The Louisiana 'entrant, Jeanne Thompson, of Baton Rouge, said it is her opinion "'and the consensus of the American girls, I believe" that the judges picked the right girl, Armi Kuusela, who is Miss Finland.

Valerie Jackson concurred and said that while it was "most gracious' of the Italian miss to favor the American girls, she did not believe there, were political considerations involved. She was the Montana entrant.

Wet cleaning is a term used by the cleaning industry to designate the use of water in cleaning a garment. It is NOT 'washing," as that term is ordinarily understood. Wet cleaning is a process requiring professional skill and care.

Only the best soap for the specific garment, at the right temperature for the right leneth of time, together with the correct drying temperature for the indicated length ofe time, followed by the proper, delicate finishing procedures are employed in wet cleaning, FurtheiTnore, wet cleaning is necessary when no other spotting or cleaning procedure will remove the stain or soil. Thus, under certain conditions, it is the only SAFE way to make sure your garment is thoroughly clean and spotless.
