tributed 33.819 young pheasants already this year, about 14,500 of these to youth groups and more than 19,000 to participating conservation clubs. Superintendent Lynn Gregg. Sr., says that 64,393 pheasant eggs have been hatched since the season began toward the end of May. Pheasant eggs are gathered each day, about 4,000 during the peak season. They are hatched during a 25-day period in one of eight large incubators. After the young arc ; hatched, they are shifted to 60 I brooder houses until they are well feathered. When they are large enough to fare “outside,” they are turned loose in the fields. The park, 1,033 acres on state road 316, of Bluffton, was begun in 1935. by a joint effort of the > civilian conservation corps (CCC> and the works progress administration IWPA). The working staff now is usually doubled during the summer, the superintendent says, as right now the park employs 40 workers. The 20 extra helpers,are usually high school students. To most visitors, the park is more familiar as a spot for picnickers and fishermen. For the picnic facilities, there are 250 tables, tennis courts, and three separate playground areas. There are also several shelter houses and a lodge which is booked up on Sundays until the middle of September for family reunions, the superintendent reports. There is also a zoo. with deer, elk, bison, and bear. The center attraction of the animals right now is newborn buffalo. Sportsmen have found crappies and pan fish in Kunkel Lake, an artificial body of water, covering about 25 acres. The lake was stocked with blue gills and bass, the superintendent reports, predicting that these should provide good fishing in two or thre years.

Film Actresses Are Difficult To Handle By VERNON SCOTT UPI | Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD <UPI) — Movie stars don’t bite the hand that feeds them. They devour the entire arm! Producers and studios nuture the neophyte performers, handfeeding them when necessary, to bring them to stardom. But once they reach the top, Charlie, run for your life. Marilyn Monroe is the classic example. I She was just another blond starlet when 20th Century-Fox Studios wound up the old razzmatazz and baileyhood her to international fame. After she became Hollywood’s sex kitten Marilyn refused assignments, demanded more money, wanted out of her contract and went on suspension. Once again, Movieland’s kitten became a tigress. It’s an old pattern, and most producers are somewhat chary about “new faces,” and the old buildup. Joe Pasternak? who recently completed his 50th movie, is an exception. He’s working on a new picture now. "Please Don’t Eat The Daisies.” with oldtimers David Niven and Doris Day. But his next, “Unholy Spring,’’ will feature a new crop of unfamiliar faces. “Weve got to develop new stars or we’ll all be out of business,” Pasternak rasped. “Actors are like children. They like you when you give ’em a nice toy. What I mean is they like the guy who gives ’em the best toy. I never met a newcomer who wasn’t grateful But once they’re' stars you can’t put up with them, i It’s murder.”
