Helen Kayes Is
Making First Film
In Sixteen Years
By GENU UANDSAKKR
AP Newsfeatures
HOLLYWOOD Helen Hayes is
making her fust movie in 16 years
and she's "terrified"
"1 never did anything in my life
that I wasn't," the grand little lady
of- the American thcaler reflected.
"The worst thing is, it gels worse
as yoju gel older."
The live-foot, DO ve;i'- old actress
is playing Hubert Walker's mother
In "My Son John". The plot's a
secret, but it has iiiie'hing to do
with a mother's sefferiii',' when her
son, a govei linn ri! employee, turns
Commie.
Director Leo MeCnrey had a
tough time lur'n? Miss Hayes back
to the screen. Numerous long-distance
calls to her in New York got
only polite refusals. He tried put
ting on pressure through mutual
friends. Then he turned up with
out warning at her door. His de
tailed descriotion of the part got
her to accept. But it was all this
attention, she says, that has left
her "still terrified though they
tell me the picture is going well."
She came here with her adopted
son Jamie, 13; her cook, her maid
for 18 years, and a French poodle.
They occupy a Beverly Mills house
rented from Actor Kent Smith.
Miss Hayes never sees the projection-room
showings of previous
days' shooting "they mke me
nervous and insecure." She tried
if years ago. at Gary Cooper"s urg
ing during the filming of "A Fare
well to Arms". Self-consciousness
ruined her next day's work. She
told me: "All I could think of was
getting pretty angles. It was so
artificial. Instead of going to the
rushes, I trust Leo MeCarey to tell
me if I'm wrong."
The only way he has corrected
her is to slow down her character
istic rapid gestures. Over-projection
from stage habit is no prob
lem, Helen said. "I've done so
much radio work it's easy to pull
my voice down." She said she
hadn't returned to pictures soon
er because: "The time was never
right. I was always tied up with a
play or radio series."
Miss Hayes won an Academy Os
car for her first movie, "The Sin
of Madelon Claudet". ' Her hus
band, Charles MacArthur, owns
one for the screenplay of "The
Scoundrel". The two Oscars are at
opposite ends of their mantel.
Would she like another? "It would

Former Haywood Man Has 400-Acr
Sho w-Place Dairy Farm Near States
William I',,-.,, ,
N, C. James, former' Haywood
merchant-farmer, now operating a
400-acre farm at Statesville, was
featured In the Sunday issue of the
Winston-Salem Journal and Sent
inel. tAn eight column picture of
the James' farm, together with a
two Column picture of Mr. James
and one of his Holsteins were feat
ured. The article by Harvey Dink
ins, farm editor of The Journal and
Sentinel, was as follows;
This is a yarn about a man who
"retired from business and went
to work."
Maybe it would describe him bet
ter to say that he worked 28 years
before he got the chance to do the
kind of work he wanted to do.
In any event, N. C. James went
into business in 1920 at Clyde, Hay
wood County, For 28 years, he and
Mrs, James were engaged in mer
chandising and raising a family of
seven children. A disastrous fire
complicated matters. It was not un
til April. 1948, that they were situ
ated so they could indulge their
ife-mng desire to "get onto the
land."
Buy Good Farm
In acquiring a farm, the James
family departed from the conven
tional procedure Most folks buy a
rundown farm and build it up
(probably because rundown farms
ire about the only kind that have
been on the market lately). Mr.
James bought a good farm from a
good farmer who, like himself,
wanted to push other business that
was more to his liking.
He purchased the Fairview Farm
of J. E. Dooley, Statesville, Route
4. Mr. Dooley lumped in every
thing, including a. fin herd of beef
cattle. He then turned his full at
tention to the operation of his
quarries.
Mr. James made one more major
change after he got the farm. He
sold out the beef cattle, lock, slock
and barrel, and then started build
ing a dairy herd, To date he has a
boul 125 head. All of the cattle are
grades, although many are pure
bred and probably subject to regis
tration. He still has one more major
change in view. He will gradually
drop his grade Holsteins as they
become over age and replace them
with registered Holsteins,
There are few farms such as N.
C. James' Fairview in North Caro
line. He has added slightly to his
acreage since making the original
purchase and he now has 4 0 0
acres. Less than two acres of the
place is non-productive.
Many farms have small acreages
of fine pasture, high yielding field
crops and miscellanies. Mr. James'
entire acreage Is almost ideally
productive. Every acre is knee
deep in luch ladino-clover - orchard
grass - blue - grass pasture, Al
falfa, small grain, or row crops.
All of his cattle are from strains
that not many generations ago were
all registered or were subject to
registration. The papers were sim
ply not kept up. No mongrel blood
has crept in. He has cows milking
more than 70 pounds a day that
could walk down front in cattle

shows with the best of them, if they
only had their official pedigrees in
tact. Mr, James plans to change all
ihat, but he will "milk his way
through." He will move deliberately
io that the pedigrees he gets won't
cost too much.
Two of the James sons are at
home, N. C. Jr., a graduate of State
College and William, who attended
Mars Hill College. Max and Tex are
in school. One daughter, Miss Hil
da James, works at Frankllnton.
fwo other daughters are married,
Mrs. Mark Ferguson of Clyde and
Mrs. II. M - Stamey of Statesville.
The sons who are at home see the
wonderful prospects in the business
it home and have teamed up with
their dad to make the best of it.
Indeed N. C. Junior deserted the
bright lights of New York City to
come back to "green light on the
farm.
And the "green light" glows
there constantly. The "green light"
jl ways glows where green grass
grows. Mr, James brought with
him the know-how to make green
rirass grow, as he learned it among
I he farmers of a mountain county
and is applying that know-how to
level land. The results are most
satisfactory.
At Fairview Farm, the bills are
laid and "the goose hangs high."

Wrecked Truck
Holds Headaches
IVOR, Va. (AP) State
Trooper A. O. Downing said he had
never seen so many curious people
before in his life. But he refused
to let any of them stop on U. S.
Route 460 near here after a heavy
tractor-trailer truck ran off the
road, overturned and struck a tree.
There were no personal injuries,
but the truck was badly damaged
along with part of its cargo. The
cargo headed for Alcoholic Bever
age Control Board stores in the
Tidewater area was worth $20,
000 of bonded whiskey.
Carriages with bodies suspended
on straps appeared in Europe early
in the 1400s.
