In 1908, a French illustrator named Emile Cohl combined film with drawing and produced shorts he called "dreams with a pencil," a series of fantasies full of simple linear figures in motion, such as a man running with his coattails flying. Despite the technical strides in film animation since Cohl's ex- periments, the cartoon industry is not a bit happy about its cur- rent situation. Its work is rapidly being squeezed out of movie houses, and only a few Of the cartoonists have been able to transfer their talents to the TV commercials. After playing cat and mouse with its bank account, M-G-M finally stopped making "Tom end Jerry" cartoons a year ago after building up a two-year backlog. Warner Bros., which produces the "Merrie Melodies" cartoons, made 40 during 1946,- a peak year, and only twenty this year. Having branched out ,ong ago into feature-length animated movies and more re- cently into TV, Walt Disney no .onger makes one-reel shorts, Donald.

Fallen Red Star Edouard (Edik) Streltsov was a Russian version of Frank lVfer- riwell. A handsome lad, he didn'te smoke, he didn't drink, and his wizardry on the All-Star soccer team made him a nation- al idol. The trouble began, said Kom- somolskaya Pravda, Moscow's Communist youth-league news- paper, when Edik's "patrons" became too enthusiastic. They pampered the "amateur" athlete with a fancy car and a new apartment. They fed him vodka and cigarettes, let him loaf on his job, and infected him with "the star disease." The paper chonicled the "rev- olting acts" in the rake's pro- gress. He (1) repeatedly got drunk, (2) beat up a factory worker and a policeman, (3) broke into a house and smashed up the kitchen, (4) deserted his wife and baby, (5) assaulted a passer-by on the Moscow sub- way, (6) raped a girl during a party in his honor at a country villa. For most of these peccadilloes, influential fans kept getting Edik reprieved But the rape was too much. Last month, Edik, now 21, was off the All-Stars and in jail. It happened just before the June World Cup matches in Stockholm, where Russia lost out in the quarter finals. Czechoslovakia's Communists also were complaining about "bourgeois attitudes" toward sports, specifically "nationalistic outbursts" in games with the U.S.S.R. When a Czech hockey player collided with, a /Russian in a game last spring, one paper complained, the Czech derisively made a sign of the cross over the unconscious Russian. DRYING OFF — Laurie Naimo gets an assist from the wind as she dries off between dips at Hampton Beach. Should .Doctors Use Hypnosis? While the American Medical. Association's governing b o 4y still officially frowns on the use of hypnosis as an "entertainment stunt," it agreed unanimously iast month that "general practi- tioners, medical specialists, and dentists might find hypnosis val- uable as a therapeutic adjunct." '"Active participation in high:. level research," it added, "is to be encouraged." This stand could be attributed at least partly to 'the work of one man: Dr. Milton 5. Marner of Beverly Hills, Calif., an anes- thesia specialist who for several months has been using hypnosis to kill pain during surgery. Last week Dr. Marmer described for the first time the use of medical hypnosis for major operations inside the heart. Such oVerations, possible with the new heart-lung machines which take over the job of pumping blood while the heart is open, still have their dangers: Because normal circu- lations is stopped, the patient may suffer permanent brain da- mage, One way to prevent such rt an emergency, Dr. Mariner the- orized, is to "awaken" a hypno- tized patient while he is in a heart-lung machine Dr. Mariner tried the tech- nique on two teen-age patients, both born with heart defects. One was a 13-year-old boy, who under hypnosis was successfully Operated on with "complete ab- sence of pain." The second pa- tient, a 14-year-old girl, was hypnotized on the morning of the operation, and was also given a small amount of an anesthetic. hi the operating room. When she was in the heart-lung machine, Dr. Mariner asked her to Open her 'eyes. "She did this lintrie., diately," he related, "and then she moved her head to indicate that she could hear me." The gitl then slept through the rest of the operation. "Is everything- OK?" ehe asked on awakening. it Was, Hypnosis,• Di-.

DRIVE WITH CARE Every day last week Partner was away from home working at the haying . . . working hard but enjoying it. Probably he would have enjoyed it even more had there been more hay to cut. With so much dry weather the hay was terribly short and of poor quality. Hardly worth cut- ting, really, yet it had to be done, if for no other reason than to get rid of the weeds and give the second crop of hay a chance to grow. We had, just one wet day last week and of course that was the very day I had arranged to visit a friend In Toronto. But I went just the same. Caught an early bus and arrived in Forest Hill before nine o'clock. Thanks to the subway. For my money that subway is the grandest thing. When the east-west line is con- structed I can't see why anyone would want to drive to the city at all. Speaking of cars, it is a good thing we have a mechanic in the family. Here was I driving around quite happily thinking our car • was in good running order until one day when Bob had occasion to drive it. Almost at once he said—"There's some- thing wrong here—I think you need a valve job. Haven't you noticed it beingi a little-hard to start?" True, I had, but I always thought it was probably my fault, that more ,than likely I had flooded it. Anyway Bob took the car down to Milton and at the garage he found it needed not one ' but four new valves. I haven't had the bill yet! I am telling you this because ) think that if a person, driving a car knows little or nothing about the mechanism of the thing it is important that he—or more especially she—should have a service man who can be relied on to check over the essential parts every time the car is itt the garage for minor repairs. And who is better qualified than a dealer for whatever make of car you happen to drive? That is why Bob looked after the car for me as he was able to take it to the Man who had serviced it ever since it came off the as- sembly line. The repair bill may be costly but I look at it this way: A person cannot afford to drive a car at ell unless he, or can also afford to keep it in good repair before it breaks deem on the road. Even that is no guarantee against accidents but it is at least a guard against negligence. Now let me tell you about that unexpected view We had from our bedroom window last Week,— the Witiclow, incidentally; faces the teed. Well, •first Of all we noticed a lot of vetra activity et the house across the way, All the family carrying things arid will-dile back and forth ftom the house to 'the garage -e after the ear had been backed but -On to the driveway; It wasn't long be, Thee One of the Children , dated esedr and eXcitedlY told tie *hat teas going on A YtigesitiVieti Celebration, no leSS, And their' way of Celebrating' was to have feast of barbecued latish. Net just a leg of laith but a whole lain, as there terete nineteen coming for the feast. Stones were laid or, the garage floor on which a charcoal file was soon burning hotly. Then the 45-pound lamb was tied and skewered to an electric spit which had been hired or borrow- ed.. The laneb was salted and spiced and basted every little while with fat, Yugoslavian smoked bacon. It took five and a half hours to barbecue the lam. We were given a piece of it next day and it was good. Before the company- arrived I was invited over to watch the proceedings, in which, of course, I was naturally quite interested. ' Highly spiced, oil-cooked food Is not generally to our liking. It seems indigestible to.us but most people from central Europe. and the Balkan States • seem to thrive on it and manage to keep free, from stomach ulcers. Anyway, Ake it or not, it is itneresting• to sample the, various dishes and know something about' their native foods and drinks. How- ever, 'there are times when we have to tread warily for !rear of giving offence. Native wines are always on hand and are a nor- mal part of their 'hospitality. Refusal to take a drink is some, times misunderstood. However, now we have got to know each other better wine is no longer brought out every time we step inside a person's house, Not.that , we have anything against their wine or when they drink — it is as much a native custom as tea and coffee is to us. We just happen to prefer our 'tea and coffee, especially in the middie of the day, and that's all there is to it. Well, summer has come at last —88 degreee yesterday and 92 right now. Bob and family have gone north. Dee and Art are very much at home waitine; for pos- sible• tenants for their upper duplex. As for us we have dis- covered how to` keep the house reasonably cool and are quite content' to stay home and enjoy it. Modern Etiquette by Roberta Lee Q.

A retired nurse, "whoa; husband is a traveling freight agent for the Rock Island Railroad, she turned to rug making as a pastime—and because rugs were the most badly needed item in the Rutledge home. A thorough- going person, she enrolled in a course in making hand-hooked rugs, before starting off on her own, Mrs. Rutledge calls her hobby "painting with rags," for the reason that she dyes all the wool material that goes into her rugs. The wool scraps she cuts into very fine strips-3/32 of an inch—in order to get all the shadings in. A peach, for instance, will have as many as 8 to 10 shades of color. The strips are hooked in the pattern stamped burlap or monk's cloth material and the loops of wool are pulled through about 1/2 -inch high. All the loops must be even to give a needle- point effect. Her rugs have been widely exhibited and all of them have won blue ribbons. airs. Rutledge with prize rug. Garland of fruits on ivory ground. 1,W 'FRIDAY'. 'FAKES.
