• doesn't stop and chat during

FAITH HEALED HIM
"Dear Anne Hirst: The letter
you printed about the husband
who drank too much and led
his family through anxious years
of poverty, has impressed me
tremendously. I had that prob-
lem, but I let mine go too far
befort I asked help from the
Only One who could — and -,did
— give me strength to conquer
it.
"Every city has its skid row
of men and women because they
did not follow the Bible's teach-
ings. God is faithful and just, but
He wants us to be led by Him
every day, not just on Sun-
days....
"I pray that this man does not
let his drinking get the, best of
him, as I did, I lost my wife and
my two children for nearly a
year before I 'found the way to
be a man again. I can never be
thankful enough that I was led
back to God. A. L."
* Behind your letter lie
* months of heartbreaking temp--
* tation that required all the
* courage your new-found faith
* provided.
* Your experience will inspire
• others, I hope, to strive more
* earnestly for the help their
* church stands ready to give.
* There they can find the faith
* that will sustain them (as it
* sustained you) in their strug-
* gle for the good life.
*
When any problem faces you,
Anne Hirst stands by to offer her
wisdom and experience in solv-
ing it. Write her frankly at Box
1, 123 Eighteenth St. New Tor-

Bad Check Artists
Of all U,S. criminals, the pro-
fessional bad-check artist is
probably . the most' dapper. Be-
tween 25 and 40 years of age, he
is apt to sport a lodge emblem
or a respectable club's badge in
the lapel of his conservative suit.
He is also likely to be highly in-
telligent. When 50 convicted
check forgers were given IQ tests,
42 per cent scored higher than
110, which is the IQ of only 25
per cent of the general papule-
tion. But he is also likely to be
a man driven by a "deep-seated
feeling of insecurity,"
This portrait of the bogus-
theck passer was painted by Dr,
John MacDonald at the Ameri-
can Psychiatric Association meet-
ing in Philadelphia. After a study
of 300 check offenders in mental
institutions and penitentiaries,
the University of Colerado psy-
chiatrist found that most of them
wrote, hateenecketither "to pur-
"dhaeee friends and demonstrate
affluence" or to relieve repressed
feelings of hostility.
Flowers Start
New Civil War
A rose is a rose is a carnation
is a corn tassel,, or why does
this geese smell so eweet, and
how did those marigolds got in
here?
Something like this aroma of
confusion arose from the U.S.
Senate Office Bldg. in the wake
Oe a mock hearing on a question
which stirs many a gardener:
What should be the United
States national flower?
Three senators and a House
member took part in the de-
bate. You never saw such furi-
ous lobbying. Carnations were
pinned on you when you enter-
ed, whether you like it or not.
Popcorn (a symbol of the corn
tassel, see?) flowed like tax-
peyers' money,
Carnations are the most prac-
tical for corsages, contended
Representative William H. Ayres
of Ohio, and besides the rose is
often tied in with trouble. 'Tis
frequent in a flower store, he
said, that "a man comes in and
says. 'Give me a dozen roses,
quick, Mama's mad again.'"
Then rose Senator Paul H.
Douglas of Illinois, a diehard
supporter of the corn tassel as
the American _flower,
"Distinctively American in
origin," said the senator, sena-
torially.
As for the marigold, another

contender in the floral, derby:
"It's a good-looking teeth
sponge," conceded Senator
Douglas,
Senator Thruston B. Morton
odd Kentucky, who is committed
to just plain grass, preferably
Kentucky grass, plowed under
the corr. tassel: "A purely male
plant , . What are we going to
do — lose the women's vote?"
Senator Hugh Scott of Pene-
eylvania, who wouldn't hear a
word against roses, stomped in
turn on Senator Morton's re-
veries of blue-grass.
"I don't think he should be
so cud-happy." Senator Stott
complained.
. And he fired back at Senator
Douglas, who showered Capitol
Hill With a virtual snov:storrn of
popcorn all day;
"I suggest that the amount of
done on Capitol Hill is already
sufficient."
This' all came about because a
garden club in suburban Falls
Church, Va., heard about th
national flower debate and got
Into the act. It borrowed the
Senate caucus room and invited
the legislators to hold forth on
the merits of their choices.
Soinetitne the Congress will
get around to declaring a ha-
aortal flower Maybe.

New King Of The
Movie Box Office
Glenn Ford, after- twenty years
as an in-and-outer Among Holly-
wood's stars, has, suddenly' be-
come the biggest box-office draw
-in the country at' the' age of 43.
-Visited on the set of his .56th
picture recently (a comedy, "It
Started With a Kiss"), Ford was
asked: "How come No, 1?" He
quickly threw a monologue on
the conversational fire.
"I ;haven't the faintest idea,'
the -still hoyish-loeking actor de-
claret, "Things just began to
happen to me when I came to
M-Gelel' in 1954. 'Before that I'd '
been at Columbia with Rita Hay-
worth .and. Bill Heiden. We all
started ,out together. Patience
was what I learned at Columbia.
But when I did 'Blackboard
Jungle' for Richard Brooks at.
I was finally allowed to
use a lot of theories I'd had stew-
ing in the back of my head" for"
years.

lieves in" the ltrxu*- of impel,-

fection—using the little things
that happen spontaneously when
the camera is turning, A door
sticking, for example, or when a
match, doesn't light on the first
stroke. Or, most of all, two peo-
ple talking at the same time, A
director with courage will say,
'Print it. That's the truth' It's
this absence of the old artifici-
ality that has matured both
movies and movie •audiences.
"You can't fool audiences any
more. Before, an ideal movie star
'was one .who had the flawless
face of a model in a collar adver-
tisement. Fortunately the prem-
ium now is no longer on beauty
but on truth. I'm one of many
actors in the business now who
don't have to go to the 'correc-
tive' make-up department early
each morning. I wear no make-
up. In that way the lines and
flaws in- my face show on the
screen. This is 'truth, and people
want to see characters on the
screen who, are real.
"The medium has changed, and
possibly that's . why my .career
changed too. Hollywood is more
and more a 'director's arid writer's
medium. The picture with the
big-name star is no longer an as-
surance, of success., It's now a
'team effort, and as an actor I've
been fortunate to find my place,'
to fit better into the medium. My
approach 'to making ',movies is -
simple as falling off 'a dolly. I
read a script, and if , I can believe
in the character and the story
line, I do it. If I can't,, I don't."
Another big reason for Ford's
current box-offic'e do/affiance 'is
that he has appeared recently in
several good comedies, and -there
is no doubt that movie audiences
hunger for fun these days. Glenn
Ford comedies do particularly
Why? 'Unlike the profes-
sional gagman 'movies, Ford in-
terpolatee .credible subjectivity
in all he does, As he explained
it: "I don't play it as comedy but
as serious drania. Once an actor
thinks he's funny, he's lost the
audience. If you examine care-
fully each cif the comedies I've
been in—'Teahouse of the August
Moon,' Don't Go Near the Water,'
'Imitation General'-you'll• find
that though the monies aeerbilled
as comedies, the leadieg charac-
ter is always confronted with a
very seefons siteeation.-MY nnew

nique. Maybe that's my- secret,"
