Tight To, Death..
Is "Just Acting".
A 'sma'll boy, without 'thought
et danger, is happily playirg
with a cuddly bear cub he has
found in the woods when the
mother bear ' rushes. forward,
Growling angrily,
Just at that terrifying moment,
a big yellow mongrel dog bounds
to the rescue:.of his little, master
— straight' at the mother bear's
throat. The fight that follows is
full of snarling,:. howling, fury
as bear and dog slash at each
other with bared teeth and fangs.
Bow on earth, you wonder, as
you watch that dramatic scene
in Walt Disney's f i 1 m, "Old
Yeller," could two animals be
made to fight to the death be-
fore the cameras, presumably
without hurting each other?
The answer is that both are
experienced actors who knew
just what to do! They rehearsed
the scene for months, kicked up
a, terrific • commotion while they
were enacting it, but when the
dust died down, neither bore so
much as a scratch,
Spike, the 115 -pound shaggy
mongrel who plays the title role
in "Old Yeller, spent weeks
on a leash .getting thoroughly
acquainted with Doug, a nine-
year-old bear owner] by a pro-
fessional trainer, .Byron Nelson.
Each animal -leans -red -to appre-
ciate the other's -advantages.
Spike had agility. Doug was su-
perior in brute. strt ngth. With
this knowledge they went into
the scrap with the utmost enthu-
siasm, each knowing exactly
what to do. And they .cameout
of it the best of friends.
Four years ago, this lop-ear-
ed yellow mongrel with lolling
tongue and bright eyes was lans
guishing in an American d o g
p0 u n d, unwanted, unknown,
homeless and without a future,
There he was spotted and bailed
out by Frank Weatherwax, one
of the Hollywood family of ani-
mal trainers who made Lassie
into a world-famous film star.
"He was two months old, all
head and feet," says Weather -
wax. "But he looked smart, so I
tieeided to give the little guy a
new lease of life" At the Wea-
therwax kennels Spike grew into
a big, affectionate and highly

Dust -eater below him is St.
Louis Cardinal Gene Green,
who was forced out on the play.
intelligent dog. But because of
his mongrel appearance he got
few acting jobs.
"He wasn't much in the gla-
mour line," says Weatherwax,
who can do more to win friends•
and influence animals than : most
people can with people, "but he
had brains. I couldn t help think-
ing that some day he'd get hes
break,,"
When Walt Disney started ais
search for a dog to play the
animal hero in the film version
of the novel, "Old Yeast," Spike
landed, the part: He was A na-
tural to play the lovable stray
c:og• who attaches himself to a
young boy . struggling to protect
his mother and small brother'
against all manner of hazards s
in an untamed Iand, and helps
him through them all,
So Spike moved into the Dia

righty -four assorted a:nim a is
which appear in the film. He
found himself in a very differ-

star, was provided with a shoot-

dresser and a stand-in.
Disturbing Facts
In The U.S.A.
"The sharp, rise-ln,the num•
ber of young aneea'mothers in
the U.S. is one ;oi arne.;most tra-
gic and disturlsifr( problems,"
Katharine B, Oettinger, chief of
the Children's Bureau in Wash-
ington, D.C., said recently.
In 1940, there were about 90,-
000 children born out of wed-
lock. During 1950 the figure
was 141,000. This year, it may
reach 200,000. "Two out of five
of these births are to girl's un-
der 20," said Mrs, Oettinger.
"There are nearly 5,000 illegiti-
mate births a year to girls under
15,"
Government statistics• show
that the Southern states, and
some of the large Eastern and
Midwestern states, nota ba y
Pennsylvania and Illinois, head
the list. A recent study by the
Washington, D.C., Health De-
partment reveals that the Dis-
trict has more babies born out
of wedlock than any' other ,large
city, The figures are higher in
city than in rural areas, with
the Negro rate 'two to three
times that for "white girls.
Wherever she May live, fa-
cilities for helping the unwed
mother are woefully few. She
may turn to a state public -wel-
fare agency, the Salvation Army,
or a Florence Crittenton home
(an organization of residential
homes for unwed mothers, with.
some 55 branches), However, a
Children's Bureau report points
out, "invariably, voluntary and
public ' agencies report inade-
quate funds and insufficient
staffs to offer medical care and.
social services needed by the
unmarried mothersand .their
children." —From NEWSWEEK

British 'girl in their Ladies' Singles match, 10-8 and 6-3.
TWENTY-ONE YEARS. LATER ;On Aug, 22,. 1851, the schooner
"America"' defeated yachts from all nations in a race around
the Isle of Wight to take a British silver cup valued at 100
pounds. The owner of the- yacht presentedthe cup to .the
New York Yacht Club which put it up as the prize in the
America's' Cup Race, a two -boat, 30 -mile race off Newport,
R.I. The British tried, repeateily and unsuccessfully to win the
cup back until the competition was discontinued in51937. Now,
21 years .later, she will try again, with a new, streamlined
yacht, the "Sceptre". Seeking to race with her in September
are a number of U.S. boats, including the "Vim", shown above
off Newport. The 19 -year-old craft will race aginst other U.S.
12 -meter boats' in elimination races.
A Love -Plot
That ]Miscarried
All of a sudden the woman -
hater felt romance stirring in
his blood. "I've quite a bit of
money put together," he mused.
"Why don't I go and. get myself
a wife, instead of carrying on
aloneand friendless?"
So Stanislaw Tib orsk1, .a
seventy - five - year - old Pole,
locked up his house in Detroit
and set out for Chicago, with the
aiin of finding a beautiful, lov-
ing'wife. Baokii:g in at a mod-
erately priced hotel, he enlisted
the hotel palter's aid in his
quest. "Sure, I can fix you up,"
said the porter. "I know plenty
of nice girls,"
Very quickly he introduced
Stanislaw to a woman, but she
disappointed him - he wanted
someone younger — and, to
make matters worse, she stole
some ofhis motley. He com-
plained to the kilter. "There's
plenty more • fish in the sea,"
the man assured:him.
Potential wife' No. 2 then.
came on to the scene. But her
face didn't appeal, and, like her
predecessor, she showed light-
fingered tendencies. Stanislaw
felt slightly peeved.
Yet, curiously, despite these
two disappointments, he still be-
lieved the porter would be able
to find him a captivating wife.
At the third introduction,
Stanislaw's naive faith seemed
justified, for now he met a beau-
tiful blonde — tall, willowy,
full -lipped, blue-eyed, He loved
her instantly, but it was she who
proposed marriage within twelve
hours of their meeting.
' His new-found fiancee then
Introduced him to her brother,
e slick, worldly type. Gushing
goodwill, he insisted on taking
Stanislaw for a ride in his lux-
ury •car to see the sights of Chi-
cago. The girl excused herself,
saying she felt ill. Before going,
Stanislaw left "in her charge his
entire savings, $7,500.
After cruising around for some
time, his fiancee's alleged bro-
ther suddenly wanted to. know
the lateststock market prices.
"X'll stop here," he said, as they
neared a railway station, "and
perhaps you won't mind buying
a paper,"
Stanislaw got out and walked
to the nearest newsagent, but
hardly was his back turned than
his "chauffeur" slipped the car
into gear and drove off.
Of course, when 'Stanislaw
reached his hotel, the beautiful
blonde had vanished with the
cash,
After reporting the trick to
the police, he returned to De-
troit, a sadder, poorer and wiser
•man. Above all, he was irked
at having parted with $7,500
without receiving more than half
a dozen kisses in exchange!
Many men, despite great dis-
•appointments, remain incurably
romantic to . the last. Cupid
smiles on some, but mocks
others.
A 58 -year-old French widow-
er., Henri Thermonceaux, of
Nantes, devised a fantastic plot
to win the love of a pretty girl,
Michele, who worked in a local
pastry " shop. Attracted ',to• her,
he began to buy more •cakes
'than he really needed, and timed
his visits carefully, when cus-
tomers were few and the girl
disengaged.
Being loyal to her .employer
and a good salesgirl, Michele
did • nslt,,, choke , him off. Henri
then worked out bis 'plan by
enlisting the aid of his nephew,
Pierre,' a • good-looking young
man who was going steady with
a vivacious .,girl Josette, Since -
he'd promised Pierre a substan-
tial teghcy, he felt perfectly jus -

titled in trusting him with a
special mission.
Pierre was to capture the
girl's interest, make love to her
a little, so that Henri could then
denounce Pierre as a scoundrel
and thus, as he hoped, win her
affection through his goodness
in rescuing her from a young
blackguard,
All seemed to be working out
extremely well. Pierre, a charm-
er, quickly set Michele's heart
fluttering. He was enjoying a
secluded picnic with her, actu-
ally had his arms about her,
when Henri suddenly popped
out from-- behind a tree, accom-
panied • by Josette, Pierre's fi-
ancee.
"That man's a rogue!" he
shouted. Josette leapt into ac-
tion.
"You rat, kissing other girls!"
she screamed, rushing at Pierre
and kicking him. "And as' for
you, you wicked husband -steal-
er!" she . shouted at 'Michele,
seizing her by the hair and kick,
ing her ferociously, until the
two men intervened.
Henri then told the truth
about the masquerade. But To
sette, having witnessed Pierre's
ardent "play acting," was furi-
ous.
urlous. As for Michele, she thought
Henri the most loathsome man
on earth and Pierre, who kissed
her so softly, the dearest.
So, finally, through this mis-
carriageof a love plot,. Pierre
married the pretty cake -shop
girl, And Josette, when her
rage cooled, found Henri's rov-
ing eye on her. "You've saved
me from an unreliable man, per-
haps you'll prove truer," she
told him.
When an elderly bachelor,
from Sydney, suddenly felt ro-
mantic he joined a Happiness
Clab and met a 71 -year-old
widow. He married her, but
within four months she left him.
He never bothered to look for
her, and when recently awarded
a decree nisi because of her de-
sertion, he bluntly told the
judge; "I'd fall for anything
once, but I won't rejoin a Hap-
piness Club and I won't, re-
marry."
