Bing Crosby, who has sponsor
ed the debut of many a present-
day star, is serving in like capac
ity for the first screen appearance
of a trained squirrel, first arbore
ous rodent to scamper to the top
of the cinema firmament.
Named Crack, the squirrel has
an important role with Bing and
Gloria Jean, co-stars of Univers
al’s “If I Had My Way,’’ which
comes Thursday and Friday to the
New Orpheum Theatre. The squir
rel is the property of Curly Twy-
fort, Hollywood "animal man”
who specializes in training odd
birds, bersts and reptiles for mov
ie purpp s. Twyfort raised Crack
from a ^aby, aud spent many
hours teaching him tricks.
Crack’s main value in the movies
is his ability to do what he’s
told and to do it at the right time.
David Butler, who produced
and directed “If I Had My Way,”
is credited with discovering
Crack. He saw him in Twyfort’s
pet shop, near Universal studios.
After watching the squirrel do
his tricks, Butler decided he
would create a role for him. Con
sequently. Crack was written in
to the picture.
Crack will be seen as the con
stant companion of Gloria Jean,
the amazing 12-year-old singer
who made her movie debut in
•‘The Under-Pup.”

Poultry Flock N^d®
Special Care In June
The period wfiBn'the poultir
flock will either return a good
profit, or be a drain on the fam
ily finances Is just ahead, says C.
F. Parrish, poultry extension
specialist of N. C. State College.
Eggs will be scarce in June, as
hot weather cuts production In
the average flock, but the -wise
poultry raiser can keep his flock’s
production up and profit from
higher egg prices, Parrish stated.
“As the summer heat during
the long June days becomes in
tense, the flock is apt to drop off
sharply in feed consumption,” the
speqialUt said..“At the first signs
of a slWinjf^d consumption,
ai^ the decline in egg
productloit,' U is advisable to
start back feeding a wet mash at
noon, made up with cool water
cool sour milk. ‘
“This practice, along with close
culling of broody hens will help
a great deal in holding a high
egg production during hot wea
ther. As soon as the comb of a hen
loses Its bright red color and be
gins to shrink, or when she shows
of beginning to molt, that is the
time to put that bird on the
market.”
Parrish also suggests that the
windows and ventilators in the
back of the laying house be open
ed to make the poultry quarters
cooler. It is also important, he
says, to prevent lice Infestation at
this season of the year.
“Check on some of the birds
occasionally for lice infestation
and treat the birds or the roost
poles for lice, if they are found.
