> Famous Sister Ad Seeks New Recruit Andrews Sisters Seek Girl Singer ’ HOLLYWOOD. UP -Two-thirds of the most famous sister act in i modern days is looking for a lucky girl singer to join forces, but so far, Maxene Andrew's revealed today, the talent search is fruitless. The three Andrews sisters, after | 21 years as the top female trio, I broke up recently when Patti left | the group to go on her own as a single. But Laverne and Maxene plan Q to keep "The Andrews Sisters” r name going, if they can find a third thrush to join them. “We don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t continue,” explained Maxene. "We’ll be billed as ’The Andrews Sisters and . . .’, whoever gets the job. •*lt’s funny, but we haven’t been I able to find anybody yet. There I aren’t many qualifications, either. I Just a girt who can sing a good I lead, who is of medium height and I not too young. A I "Only one girl so far has fit the I bill, but she didn’t want to leave I her baby and husband to go on I tour with us, and I don’t blame I her.” I Maxene said offers for radio, I television, nightclub and record I jobs have poured in since the I three sisters called in a day. At I the time Patti announced she quit I the act because she’d net more i money as a single and she wanted to be on her own. t . The sisters still speak to each 8 other, Maxene added with a grin, i. "We’ve had our arguments and 1 beefs, but I think they were minor 9 compared to how much we were 9 together,” she said. "We still love 1 each other. "We worked together for 21 j years, seeing each other all the , time. Patti felt she wanted to be on her own, and I understand. After all. she’s been with us since she was 11 years old and every girl wants to raise a family and 1 live where she wants to and do things on her own." Laverne and Maxene considered adding ex - child actress Jane Withers to their act. But they decided “we’re basically a singing act. and it would have become a 1 comedy act.” ,-F " The new trio, Maxene went on. • will sound “almost identical” to . the old one. “I hope we pick somebody this week,” she said. “I'm of my mind sittfhg home with nothing to do. I’ve been singing most of my life.” The brunette singer thought a few moments and added, “It’ll seem odd without Patti, I guess. It’s like losing an arm.-': Canine Thief JACKSBORO, Tex..

Medical "Banks" Aid Humanity

By MERMAN M. BUNDESEN, MJ. WHEN a will is planned, all worldly possessions are carefully disposed of to various relatives, Institutions, or animals. Many a faithful dog or cat has more financial security than many humans. However, more valuable than any worldly goods are the parts of the human body that science is able to use for the benefit of the ill and the crippled. It has been known for a great number of years that bone can be grafted from one human being to another with a great deal of success. Various bone banks have been set up throughout the country and many people have donated- parts of their bones so that other people can use them after they are gone. — The Gift of Sight A part of Che eye known as the cornea has been grafted successfully from one human being to another. Eye banks have also been set up to promote this good work. Recently, the arteries which are the vessels that carry the blood around the body were transplanted from one human to

Turns Child Hobby Info New Career Operates Farm Os Flying Squirrels / WASHINGTON, UP — lx E. Greeson, retired government worker, has extended a childhood hobby into a new career. He operates the only commercial flying squirrel farm in the world. Unlike birds, these kiting rodents of the Petaurtstidae family utilise the furry folds of skin stretched between their legs as the means of staying airborne. They fly on the glider principle—gliding from aloft and steering , with their tails. Greeson’s ranch in the suburbs of Washington, numbers about 1,100 squirrels, not including the - fledglings. Greeson makes his living selling the creatures as pets—“the best in the world.” He receives orders from all over the - United States, and from Europe, India and Japan. As a bey in Texas and other - parts of the West, Greeson was in- ’• trigued by flying squirrels and l » took them up as a hobby. * Blue Ridge Habitat ** “Down there,” he said, the squirrels were so plentiful that “you could shake them out of a locust tree.” e But Texas and the West are not r< the only places one may encounter these flying nut-gatherers. e “The Blue Ridge Mountain area is the best place to catch them in a this part of the country,” he said. « “But they’re in the woods right s around Washington too. You have ' to know how to find them.” Outlining his trapping methods, _ Greeson said he learned that the squirrels, which are much smaller . than their earth-bound relatives, ’ “took oft from the top of a tree in a quick dive and would steer with their tails, and could twist and e turn in the air and dodge between e branches with never a miss.” ' How They’re Caught e “They would glide down —some- - times the length of a city block — n and when they reached the second d tree, they'd be near Its base,” he _ d added. “They give a quick flip and • I then land with all four paws. Then *• they'd climb up the second tree 5 > and take off again.” j Greeson explained that the 0 squirrels "never take off without j a destination in mind.” After a considerable period of squirrel watching, he learned to . foretell the direction they would t jump. Once attained, this skill f made capture simple. “But sometimes,” he added, “we i caught them in the air Just like a r . ball.” * He doesn’t expect serious com- “ petition from amateurs. 5 “You could walk all day and j never see one, and 1 could walk - right behind you and see a hunf dred. I can find flying squirrels anywhere.”
