light toward the on before the cameras All that ended years ago Tod' an attor carries no more than his makeup kit WITH PEARL WHITE Tom London can tell you all about Torn Mix William Hart root Gibson Buck Jones Pearl White and all the old-time star He can tell you quite a bit about the modem ones too "I have been in pictures with every Western star except one" he said "That one is Rex Allen and he's really Just getting started And I expect to play sheriff for him pretty soon now" As socn as he gets back to I-lolly-wood which will be in a couple of months or so he'll join Wild Bill Elliott for another Western "Sleep All Winter" He's played with all the Ho Its Jack Tim and Jennifer In fact he once saved Jennifer's life She Wag galloping along a dusty trail In a hard riding scene when she suddenly fainted Tom London saw her and rode up hard catching her just before she hit the ground He shielded her from the horses following and saved her from injury And not so long ago Roy Rogers saved Torn's life He was riding hell for leather through a cloud of dust when his saddle cinch slipped Down he went and his foot caught in a stirrup When he came too a few hours later they told him he had been pronounced dead and would have been had not Roy been there This is what happened When he fell from his horse a group of players rushed up and tried to revive him They couldn't A doctor came up and couldn't find his pulse Then he held a mirror in front of his face There was no moisture on the glass ROY SAID NO "He's dead boys" said the doctor and all the fellows took off their hats and said what a great guy old Tom was But not Roy 'Hell" he said "he's not dead His jaws are locked and he can't get his breath" A prop man pried open his nouth and the doctor saw he had swallowed his tongue He called for a pair of pliers reached down his throat and pulled out his tongue In his stage show he cracks jokes shoots his pistol tells how Westerns are made even sings "But I'm an old man" he grinned "No one wants to hear me for very long" His show opens in Atlanta Oct 13 then moves into Florida closing in Tampa Oct 22 He'll be back in the Carolinas a day or so later RAILROADS TO MOVIES Tom London was born in Louisville and became a railroad fireman when still a young man He decided to go to California or Panama and when he got to the ccast he saw an advertisement for actors That's when he changed professions "i played in those nickoledeon movies you used to see for pen-rues and nickels in penny arcades Maybe you remember them Drop in a coin and look through a slot "And what

low-priced shares helped to prop today's stock market Profit taking sales bit into some recently popular issues and on the hole the maiket showed a thorcugh mixture of gains and losses Most changes were fractional Automobile stocks in particular couple of which advanced to new 1949 highs yesterday were singled out for profit taking operations but they behaved well A fair amount of business was done for a Saturday although the ticker tape came to a full stop more than once Turnover was at the rate of around 600000 shares for the two-hour session As in Friday's market many traders were inclined to sit tight pending outcome of current negotiations to settle the coal strike Representatives of coal labor and management met yesterday with Cyrus Ching chief Federal mediator and the meetings will continue I next week No announcement has been made of what progress if any has been made Wall Street persisted in taking the view that a strike settlement will be made in the near future Considerable interest incidental- ly was created by announcement of a price increased in Steel Plate posted by Central Iron Steel Corp one of the smaller units in the industry The company recently signed a 10-cent an hour inturance and pensicn agreement with the CIO United Steel Workers The agreement provided that the company would finance the plan Whether or not employees should contribute to social benefit plans is apparently the major issue in rteel negotiations Callahan Zinc and American Zinc were amcng the most active issues both up around 14 point 1Callahan closed Friday at 1 3 8 and

and Standard Power Light Cities Service and Electric Bond As Share declined Corporate bonds held steady "The next step is to clean out the attic which is another danger spot he said "By cleaning up your home this week you may keep it from burning up next week" The chief also suggested these "seven steps to fire 1 Have the complete heating systern inspected cleaned and repaired by an experienced repairman 2 Provide covered metal containers for ashes and trash 3 Avoid hanging extension cords over bare nails or running them under rugs as this causes dangerous wear Replace worn extension cords 4 Always call in an experienced electrician for necessary home wiring became "home handymen's have been responsible for many fires traced to faulty wiring 5 Oil and clean motors of electric appliances and check to be sure that belts are in proper condition (This does not apply to refrigerators which have sealed-in motors) 6 Place a metal screen in front of the fireplace to guard against flying sparks and hot ashes 7 Never clean with dangerous Fire experts suggest that cleaning be sent out: if you must clean at home use cleaning fluids bearing the label of Underwriters' Laboratories Inc In addition to these specific steps the chief emphasized: "Careless handling of cigarettes and matches is still the No I fire cause" He said the national board estimates that nearly a third of all fires in homes factories forests and elsewhere are caused by careless smokers "This week and every week you should make certain cigarettes are out before throwing them away avoid tossing cigarettes or matches into wastebaskets and especially make certain that no member of your family ever smokes in bed" the fire chief warned Nurses Plan Denounced RALEIGH (iP) A publicity campaign against certain stands taken by the State and national leadership of organized registered nurses has been declared unjustified and based on "misunderstanding" Mrs Louise East of Asheville president of the State Nurses' Association said in a statement released here yesterday that there is "no basis of fact" in the campaign The eighth district of the association headed by Mrs Alton Clapp of Greenville is sponsoring the campaign said Mrs East Mrs East said the district has attached the leadership because of its support or proposed federal aid to nurse education and Its implied backing of a new standard for nurse training: Mrs Clapp last night declined to comment on the matter The charges have been made by the district advertisements placed recently in several North Carolina Newspapers The ads charged that the association membership is being taken "down a blind alley" leading to "loss of your professional standing" In her statement Mrs East said "Mrs Clapp does not speak for the 3000 members of the State Nurses' Association or for the State Association's officers" A meeting of the eighth district is set for next Tuesday at Rocky Mount when the matter may arise Both Mrs Clapp and
