Taxi she come pronto.” The lady thanked him pro fusely, then boasted to her hus band, “You see, Oscar?

In this scene, Lola Albright, representative of a national magazine, is quizzing her about her private life. Blonde Lola is wearing a brown wig. You seldom see another blonde in a picture with Doris Day. The camera rolls and Lola asks Doris: “How does it happen that a film star like you comes to Broadway and works for half the money?” “I don’t care about the money,” replies Doris. "My husband works here. It en ables us to be together. Be sides, I thought Oat Broad way might change my image. Bnt you can’t win. I’m atlll ‘the Constant Virgin’.” “That’s cute,” applauds Lola, "can I print it?” “It I said it, you can print it,” affirms Doris. “Just don’t ask me what my husband sleeps in, what I sleep in, if he’s jeal ous of my leading man, whether we sleep in a double bed or twin beds. Peter and I feel that our marriage is private, and we want to keep it that way.” "would be fascinated to know how you combine a career with a riage.” I LOLA ALBRIGHT'S HAW TO HAVE BRUNETTE WIO get together.** “Maybe," suggests Uh brightly, “that’s the secret ot it.

They have to re-load the camera so X comer Lola, ask her how She likes being a brunette; "Wonderful!” she exdabna. "After you’ve been, in the busi ness as long as I have, it’s great to be somebody else for A. change. I’ve always wanted to have coal black hair. But X was bom a tow-head.” They resume the scene.

Good Intentions A mother was preparing for dinner guests one evening. So she sent her little girl upstairs to bed and reminded the child to say her prayers. Next morn ing, the mother asked, “Did you say your prayers last night?” “Well,” the child explained. ‘I got down on my knees and started to say them and all of a sudden I thought, 1 bet God gets awfully tired hearing the same old prayer over and over.’ So I crawled into bed and told Him the story of The Three Bears.” When in need of job printing, call The Transylvania Times.

"Perhaps you’d better sit over here, Mr. Collins, until we’ve made a bit more progress!” ' God’s Unwavering Compassion GOD PLEADS WITH HIS WAYWARD PEOPLE TO* RETURN TO HIM Scripture—Hosea 11, H. By R. H. BAMSF.V HOSEA was the prophet of love. Certainly he denounced his nation, as did most of the other prophets, for there was much to denounce. But his major empha sis was upon • the reality of God's love for His wayward peo ple and the immensity of Israel’s sin in disregarding: it and trans gressing upon it. * Pleading with his people, Hosea likened Israel's relation ship with God to that of a wife with her husband, an allegory that was a dreadful reality in his own life, for his wife had proved faithless. As Gomer had been unfaithful to Hosea, so Israel had been unfaithful to her 'God. Remembering the agony his unhappy home life had cost him, Hosea urged the people to •remember their God, repent and isreturp to Him. • Chapter ll’s metaphor of God as a parent teaching a child to .walk, taking him in His arms, 'loving him and caring for him ’despite his waywardness, sug gests that Hosea, as a father, •might have suffered from the acts of rebellious children, as well as those of an unfaithful wife. When Israel was & child — will suffer Assyrian invasion and captivity from which she will never return to Canaan as! a nation, though some individ-| uals and small groups will re turn to form a post-exile Israel, with the remnants of the tribes of Judah. As with all the prophetic books of the Old Testament and the Book of Revelation in the. New Testament, Hosea ends with victory for God and perfect fellowship between Him and His people. The thunder and light ning of God’s wrath has sub sided; the denunciations of sin are over. Though his mind can not be changed and Israel will be punished, God’s love abides. He reaches out to His people, reminding them they have fallen because of their iniquities. Confess your sins, Hosea urges; repudiate the idols which drew you away, repent truly and ask God’s forgiveness. They will be received graciously, Hosea assures them, for God will bless His people whom He' has brought to reflection and re pentance by means of the Judg ment. » While some of Hosea’s listen ers believed he meant the Lord would deliver them from As GOLDEN TEXT “The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Tea, | I have loved thee with cm everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”—Jeremiah 31:3. When the, twelve tribe* were living hi Egypt—the Lord called them out of bondage, set His love upon, them and interposed to save them. Yet, even before the exodus was complete, the newly-eman cipated people had yielded to Baal worship and burned in cense to graven images. Despite this God continued gracious to ■His chosen people. When they strayed too far. he sent prophets Itraa syria, the prophet declares this untrue. Instead he looks forward to a time when Israel will put her trust only in the Lord and He wiU heal their wounds and again bestow the blessings of His grace upon them. He will cure their apostasy and love them in spite of themselves. And the intdlUgtet and prudent among them will come to the conclusion that the ways of God are right and true. Consequently SO THIS 19 'NEW YORK WE ZBf WOKTH CALLAHAN One block south of the towerbvt Empire State Build ing is a unique store front ing on 5th Avenue and which has the odd but appropriate name of Polk’s Hobby Depart ment Store. I stopped in to see what the place contained and was surprised to find that apparently no newspaper story had yet been done about it. The manager quiet ly explained that while many stores have toy and hobby departments, this one is de voted entirely to supplying the play-minded public with what it needs to fill the in creasing leisure time we are experiencing. Looking around the brightly lighted place, 1 was almost overcome with the scope and variety of the multitudinous wares display ed. ‘ Polk’s has four floors of mer chandise. They are listed as having model airplanes, min iatures, railroads, motors, mil itary figures, train and toy repairs, table-top roadways, slot car racing, science sets, ship models and gas engines. I started on the top floor and slowly made my way down. Ev en if they were smaller, there seemed to be more airplanes here than at La Guardia Air port. Models from those of huge jets to tiny single - engine craft adorn numerous show cases, with colorful illustra tions on the boxes so vivid that one has a feeling of soon tak ing off. For those who fancy motors, there are miniature ones so realistic that is easy to imagine Gulliver operating them at great and effective speed and turning a whole toy kingdom into a busy mechaniz ed shop. As for railroads, so many little engines were draw ing swerving cars along tiny tracks it resembled a mighty round house. A poster asked “How long has it been since you last thrilled to a ride behind a huge, belching, clanking 6team locomotive? Have your children ever seen one of these great machines which ibuilt America into a modern industrial na tion? The Sag Horbor and Scuttle Hole Railroad will op erate autumn foliage trains to East Hampton and Montauk to recapture the travel thrills of past generations. Ride the Can non Ball! Some of the items I hard ly understood. For example there is a process called Pet sian fruit and Persian em broidery for decorating bas kets, desk blotters etc. The decorative designs are put on with glue and a kind of lace is made with scissors. One is informed he can make his own metallic brushing paint and thus create colors which are not available on the mar ket. Besides other uses, such a hobby enables one to make undetectable repairs on an tique pieces. Also displayed were plastic “antiqued” Flem ish floral arrangements for the home, which one can make and then color. “Ev erything but the roar of the crowd!” said a booklet on car racing, and nearby was a realistic track some twenty feet long and winding, to prove the point, complete with smart little cars. Boats in authentic miniature took up most of one floor, while “visible men, dissecting frogs, mighty molars and mar tian tricks” reminded one of the scientific fiction and our spage age. Not only authentic but his toric was the extensive display of miniature soldiers. Resplend ent in thei.r always impressive uniforms are figures of Na poleon and his staff, as well as his soldiers. The magnificent if vain glory of his empire is brought out probably most of all in his splendor on the bat tle field, until one wishes he were here to take over in Viet nam. Of more close relation ship are the models of troops on both sides in the American Revolution ranging from a British colonel out for a ride to a grenadier being pursued by a woman. Of our troops, only George Washington seems con spicuous in the collection-which is natural. * In -many people'M^h blood pressure can go undetected for years, because in its early stag es they have no symptoms that make them seek medical at tention. This is one of the most important reasons for having regular medical checkups, states the North Carolina Heart As sociation.
