Red Heads
Have Better
Tempers
HOLLYWOOD (UP) Red-heads t
are better-tempered" than blondes
or brunettes, red-haired Susan Hay
ward contends. The carrot-tops
know they've ot two strikes
against them before they .start. .
"I know people who are expect
ing me to blow oft," Miss Hayward
said, "and so I go to extremes to
hide my temper. If I were a blonde
or a brunette, I wouldn't be so
careful. And maybe I wouldn't still
be in this business either. ,
"So I oltcn think that perhaps
I'm lucky to be a red-bead."
.That old superstition about a
girl's temper matching her hair
makes it doubly tough 10 get ahead
in Hollywood, though, Miss II.
says.
"Everyone thinks we have bad
tempers, she said Indignantly, "I
dant know where they get such
ideas. We are Judged before we
even open our mouths."
Susan admits she flares up oc
casionally. But no more, she in
sists, than any other female.
On Probation
"The first day I walked on a
movie set I could feel everybody
looking at me suspiciously," she
said. "I know they were thinking
that here's another temperamental
so-and-6o who's going to be hard
to handle.
"I told myself I'd have to con
ceal any temper at all. I'm prac
tically on probation, I told myself,
.nd one false step will land me
back wheie I started,
"I was unusually careful that
day and I have been ever since.
And believe it or not, I get along
with directors, and producers and
other actors remarkably well, I
think. I believe I actually have a
reputation for being rather calm."
Miss Haywood recently signed a
long-term contract with 20th Century-Fox
and is one of the most
popular members of 'the' "Rawhide"
company, which spent a month on
location at Lone Pine, Cal.
"She's a real trouper," co-star
Tyrone Power said of her. "The
weather was nearly zero, but she
never made a complaint."

Census Income Statistics
Vital lo Market Studies
Businesshien throughout t h e
country aie vitally interested in
the inforniatlon on income which
will be collected during the 17th
Decennial Census of the United
States in April 1950. These data
will provide market surveyors with
precise information on the relative
buying power of Various sections
of the country. Advertising cam
paigns, sales quotas, bank financing
of old ar.d new enterprises and
similar economic programs will de
pend on the income information in
the census. . - ' " '
In the 1950 Census the amount
of income from three sources
wages or salary, own business, and
sources other than earnings will
be reported for a sample of one
in five persons 14 years old and
over and one 'amily In five. The
reason for obtaining these data on
a sample basis is that it would be
too costly to attempt to get the in
come information from everybody
in the country. Information on the
incomes of men and women living
in urban and rural areas, and work
ing at various types of jobs will be
tabulated by the Census Bureau
for the Nation, for regions, for
States, and for metropolitan areas.
Family income tabulations will also
be made along similar lines and

will include also statistics for each
county and each urban place. .
It is expected that the income
figures obtained in the census will
reflect some of the momentous
economic changes which have tak
en place in the United States dur
ing the past 10 years. An indica
tion of the magnitude of some of
these changes is revealed by estim
ates from a recent special Census
Bureau Survey which showed that
the income of wage-earner families
has more than doubled since -the
last Census. ' -.-v.-- ,'i ; .

New Variety of Apple
Developed in N. Y. i -
GENEVA,. N. Y. (UP). A new
high-tmallty, late - keeping apple
introduced to the fruit world by
the New York State agriculture ex
periment station is ready for trial
by fruit growers.
Named the Monroe, the new
variety is yellow-fleshed. It is de
scribed as having a "fine-grained,
firm, tender, juicy flesh which is
pleasantly subacid to eat, and of
very good quality."
The Monroe keeps in storage as
well as the Baldwin and Jonathan
varieties and retains its flavor in
the late season.
The apple comes from one of 15
seeding obtained from a cross be
tween Jonathan and Rome Beauty
made at the station in 1910.'
