is battling home-bpund traffic. Jimmie is a combination babysitter and leprechaun. He’s ringmaster of “The Mickey Mouse Club," an idol to millions of smallfry from the diaper set to teenagers. Unlike TV s Western heroes, he never pulls a gun nor engages in fights. What sort of man is Dodd offscreen? .Does he go through his paces for the kids with gritted teeth waiting for pay day? Could Be Pied Piper Answer: If 1958 needed a pied piper, Jimmie would fit the bill. “I have no children of my own.” Dodd said during luhch at the Walt Disney, studio. "But my wife (Ruth) and I feel as if we

are the parents of 10 million little ones“No faatter where we go I’m surrounded by tykes of all ages and sizes—and we couldn't be more pleased. Some are shy, others openly friendly. But kids are the same in every section of the country. And if I didn't love them as much as they love me, they'd know it ipv a twinkling.” With an unruly mop of red hair and a sparkle in his eye, Jimmie seems to embody the elfin spirit of Peter Pan. It comes across to adults who meet him, too. Man of Many Talents He's a song writer, musidian, dancer and actor. But for the past three years he’s given up most of his activities (except song writing) to give mothers a half hour respite daily while the brood glues itself to the family TV set. “I’ve learned never to talk down to children, and baby talk is out of the question,” Jimmie grinned "One of Mr. Disney’s cardinal rules for everyone connected with hs shows and projects is to treat the little people like adults. Kids can spot a phony as easily on a TV screen as they can in person. “Parents who don't watch the program are curious about me. They’d like to be assured that the man who spends part of the time in their children’s hearts is worthy the occupancy. “It’s something of a responsibility, and I do my darndest to live up to it. ’ A Combination WAUKEGAN, 111. —m — Plans were afoot here for unification of the city’s services. Police and fire departments would be partly combined to have one popiceman and one fireman in each safety squad car. Deer Saved ASCUTNEY, Vt. — (IP) — A deer fled from a dog onto the frozen Connecticut River and plunged into the water when it broke through the ice. Nearby firefighters launched a boat and, with ladders, hauled the animal ashore. The deer stayed in a barn for two days before regaining enough strength to take to the woods.

Elman Celebrating Golden Anniversary One Os Greatest Violinists Os Age By DOC QLTGC United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK <UT- -A bouncy young fellow of €7 named Mischa Elman is celebrating his golden anniversary year as a concert artist in the United States. Who ;aid that prodigies don t last? Elman, one of the great violinists of the age, was a soaring orodigy in Europe for four years before he came here. He made his debut to wild acclaim in Berlin in 1904. He was hailed as a genius in short pants in London. When he got his first pair of long trousers, at 17, it was time to invade America. Now. half a century later, having delivered the famed "Elman tone’’ in more than 4,000 concerts to 8,000,000 listeners—not to menton millions more in radio and TV appearances — he’s looking ahead, not back. More Enthusastic Now A short, stocky, bald, stubbyfingered man with sharp blue eyes and a vigorous speaking voice, he produced, at an interview, pictures of himself as a boy violin virtuoso with a big bow tie and a mop of-hair. -He -said he believed his enthusiasm now is. greater than when he made hs debut at age 12. “I do hope my health will keep up the way it is today—and measure up to the enthusiasm I have for my art and my desire to go ahead and improve all the things I have accomplished,”- he said- “ That’s my ambition, and I think it should be the ambition of every artist, especially in these

days when fortunes, particularly in\ the arts, cannot be accumulated anymore. Elman has some decided ideas about present-day successes. Needed Personality “In my day as a young man you had to have personality to make a success,” he said. “Today people without personality make successes through this publicity. But a great personality will al ways succeed. ‘ A personality to me is a man who is creative. Someone whc has a message—a new message—something that no one before him could convey to the public. Today, the performance average is high, but they pull down the top. We’re not proflific in producing giant musical personalities such as were produced in an earlier day. “I'm not saying the younger generation isn’t good, but no one of them has made historyir-except this young Texas boy, Van Cliburn, and he has yet to prove himself. What is emphasized about Cliburn is the same thing the old masters had — and not the young ones — and that is the grand style.
