Hollywood news

By VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD UPI —Cinderella ia alive and living in Hollywood. She goes under the name of Christina Ferrare. She is 17 and starring in her first movie with David Niven. Her father is a meat cutter and her mother must accompany her on the set every day because she is under age for working in pictures. This particular Cinderella has no fairy godmother, but she does have a fairy godfather, MGM producer Lawrence Weingarten. Christina is blessed with a soft and beautiful face and a naievete rare among Hollywood Cinderella types. She can, however, act a little and signed a long-term contract at 20th Cen-tury-Fox, assigned to the studio’s talent school. Weingarten needed a soulful type for his picture and couldn’t find one among the busty cuties haunting the casting offices. So he called Fox and asked if they had any prospects. The producer took one look at Christina and decided he’d found precisely the right girl for ‘‘The Impossible Years.” When Christina reported for work the only bit of film on her

was a screen test at Fox. It was enough. Now that Cinderella had found the magic celluloid slipper was she flustered ? “No,” she answered during a break. "I wasn’t a bit nervous the first day on the set. I couldn’t wait to get into all the dialogue. The only thing that bothered me was having to spend three hours a day in school with a tutor. “I don’t know why I'm not scared—which only proves how young I am. I can’t wait for the weekends to be over so I can rush back to work. Acting in a movie didn’t take much adjust- | ment. “I left Fairfax High School in September, 1966. It was a jolt to leave those big classes of 30 or 40, writing notes to my girl friends and flirting with the I boys. “Now with the tutor I really have to study because I’m the only one in the class.” Despite her newfound career, Christina still is a teen-age ! daughter to her parents. She has a 12:30 a. m., curfew at home, and her mother must approve the boys she dates. “She has to know them about a year before I can have an unchaperoned date,” Christina complained. “Sometimes I even double date—to a movie or something—with my parents. Christina’s bright blue eyes sparkled with humor. “I really don’t know how much acting I'm doing. The girl I play is the same age I am, and we’re a great deal alike. The main difference Is the character I play gets away with a lot more at home than I do. But maybe that’ll change when Tm 18.”

Monthly tax collections up 6 per cent

INDIANAPOLIS UPI

tentative report of monthly net tax collections by the Indiana Department of Revenue Thursday showed an increase of approximately 6 per cent for the 1967 calendar year over 1966 and about 9 per cent for the last six months as compared with the same period of 1966. State revenue commissioner

William L. Fortune said “ if this holds up—it looks good.”! He said that while the 6 per cent increase for the year was about 2 per cent less than had been anticipated when the 196769 budget was prepared, the higher increase shown for the last six months was encourag-

ing.

The report did not cover all state revenues but included the major income, corporation and, sales taxes. A more exact report, plus a new fiscal outlook, is expected within a few weeks. The report showed the department colected $701,451,243 for 1967 compared to $659,478.-

138 for 1966. For the last six months the department collected $347,595,578 compared to $319,610,768 in the last half of 1966. Total sales and use tax collections for the calendar year amounted to a 175,549,675, an increase of $8,564,380 over the preceding year. Individual income tax revenue was $168,438,888 or an increase of $12, 055,673 and corporation income tax collections were $145,677,135 an increase of $5,745,326. The major fund to show a decrease was the cigarette tax. The figures showed that on a calendar year, the total net,

minus refunds, was $39,869,744, a decrease of $65,108 from 1966 and which caused O. Ray Olson, administrator of the cigarette tax division, to say that the tax may be leveling off. He cited both cigarette tax hikes and anti-smoking campaigns as possible factors in the decrease.

Eleven members and guests enjoyed the meeting and the social hour. Dainty refreshments of jello salad, nuts, crackers and coffee were served by the hostesses. We all slid home on the icy roads, waiting to see what the weather man will bring us in February.

I take the pillow outdoors and remove the cover carefully. Then, I cut the feet off two old nylon hose, split each hose down the center and stretch the stockings over the crumbling foam filling, stitching the

ends together.

This adds a couple of years to the life of my pillows because wear Is on the nylon and not the foam itself. Moreover, when I remove the cover for washing, j I don’t have the backng coated

OUTDOORS USA The 1967 Yearbook of Agriculture 1 is a handbook of resource conservation, a guide to the the American outdoors with its great recreation potential and a primer of natural beauty. It tells its story largely in terms of people. It covers all the USDA’s activities concerning farmers and the general public and developing our natural resources so that they can be enhanced while being used productively. These are the goals to which all agencies of the USDA are dedicated. Outdoors USA has a complete section on beautification. Some of the titles in this sec- j tion are—Blending Your Home Into the Landscape, Color It Green With Trees, How Garden Clubs Can Dress Up An Area, Container Gardening, Project Green Thumb, Building Beauty With Common Material and several others. This very interesting 1967 Yearbook may be obtained for $2.75 from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. 20402.

WASHINGTON UPI —When we come to the end of m perfect year, we find ourselves in a retrospective mood. Not that 1967 was totally sublime, but any year you can manage to muddle through must be regarded as having a measure of perfection, including the parts that were perfectly dreadful. Anyway, it is customary at this time to look back on the 12 months just passed and pick out the year’s most significant events. Here are three I think certainly belong on the list: 1. In international affairs, the most significant event was the emergence of North Carolina peanuts as a force for world peace. It seems that Rep. L. H. Fountain, D-N.C., a member of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations, took along sample bags of home state peanuts when he went to New York. Recently, he received a letter signed by Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg and his staff. It said: “We wish to thank you for sustaining the 11th floor throughout the long negotiations in regard to the Middle East crisis and now the Cyprus crisis. These negotiations are invariably conducted during hours when there are no restaurants open. Without your North Carolina peanuts, we could scarcely have survived.” Gad! That was a narrow escape. If peanuts made the difference between war and peace over the Middle East, I hope that next year someone will have the foresight to supply

the U.N. with a few pretzel* and some cheese dip. 2. In politics, the most significant event was the boost that President Johnson r e ceived from Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy. The Minnesota Democrat announced he would run against Johnson in four presidential primaries next year. Shortly afterwards, a national poll showed the American people favored LBJ over McCarthy, 8 to 1. This was about the only time all year that the President came in first in a national poll. It undoubted gave him a big psychological lift. 3. In Congress, the most significant event was the emergence of Sen. Everett M. Dirksen, RUl., as a great national leader. A motion picture titled “The Night They Raided Minsky’s” is now being filmed and in the cast is a stripper named “Ewy Dirksen.” Almost any old senator can have a bridge, park or street named for him. But to be Immortalized by a stripper is a rare distinction. Dirksen, obviously, has finally arrived.
