f I' ' PAGE TWO Marie MacDonald After Paying To Ki By PATRICIA CLARY j United Press Staff Correspondent j HOLLYWOOD (UPl Marie: iThe $odyl MacDonald belongs all to herself again at last. The blonde and beautiful actress got back "The Body" from Metro Goldw ('n-Mayer when she paid the studio $10,000 to tear up her con tract Beautiful bodies are going out of style, she decided. It's belter to get a job where you can act. "I don't believe in signing my self away for several years.'' she said. "I'd rather pick and choose oles 1 consider suitable." And between pictures, she added she likes to be able to take 'The Body" on personal appearance tours. Besides being fun, I hey earn her $3,500 a week. "I've tried long contracts at a couple of studios, bid 1 wasn't too happy wllh them." she said. "1 just want to own myself from now on." The first role Miss MacDonald accepted for herself was the olher Woman part in Columbia's comedy, "fell ll to the Judge." Hard To Hide ' 'i he best thing about it." she said "is that 1 don't have to wear a bathing suit. When people see me as an actress just like anybody else, they'll forget thai Boily lag 1 hope ' Thai's an optimistic point of view. The Body shows up through mink coals and overalls. Well. 1 don't expect people to think I'm a Duse." Miss MacDon ald said "1 just want to be treated wilh a little respect Nobody ever tave me a chance to prove 1 could do anything but stand up on n stage and breathe. "1 want a chance to do some thing in acting wilhuut exploiting Di figure. A body is just something sou get born with. There's no per sonal credit about it. But being an actress is something else again. That lakes hard work, skill and brains. "Any moron who wants a beau tiful body can touch lot's .ill times a morning 1 want to get out of lhat class."

Sings 'My Body' Contract Materials Issued Qn Corn Contest North Carolina's campaign to heal Virginia' in the corn contest was stepped up t his week as edu cational leaflets and posters were distributed from ore end of I he Stale to the oilier. Copies ol the lour-pa'.'e leaflet, entitled "Virginia Has Challenged Us." are being distributed by Gov ernor Scot Is corn contest commit-, lee. The publication was prepared for the committee by the editorial office of the Stale College Kxten sion Service. Copies may be ob-1 tained from the local county agent, j vocational teacher, or PMA com-, milleeman. The special 'Corn war" message , is signed by K. Klake Shaw, chair man of steering. Harry B. Cald well, chairman of action: and Frank Daniels, chairman of pub licity. After explaining the terms of the contest they ask, "What arc we going to do about it"" ' We can w in this coolest." I hey declare. "We have Die land, wo have the seed, and We haw the know-how If each farmer in the State will follow the five-step pro gram on at least one acre of his corn this year, the average yield for the entire' Slate will show a live-bushel increase." The committee sums up the con test with the assurance thai "we don't intend to lose But even it we do. our increased coin yields will mean that our Stale is richer bo cause of more pork, more milk and butter, more poultry and eggs, more hay. and more land available 1 for other crops." Like the leaflets, the posters arc also printed in color. They assure 4'armers that "you cm profit'' and urge that growers top-dress their corn and lay I he crop by early, plowing shallow lo avoid root dam- 1 age. j Flavors Apple Put a few raisins in the mixture ol cinnamon and sugar used to sweeten baked apples.

One - Room Apartment Can Be Complete By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK il'P' pace of modern life -It's not the that bothers Burton Sloane.. designer. It's the space. He believes in "condensed liv ing" and scorns wasted wall spaces and rambling architecture. To demonstrate his fheorles. Sloane turned one room 9 by 18 eel into a combination living, din ing room bedroom and kitchen. The apartment, which Sloane and his wife now occupy, is in back of his workshop in an old Easl Side tenement building. One vviill is covered wilh eight inch squares of corrugated card board. He used ordinary wallpaper paste to put up I he novelty wall covering, pasting the squares so the corrugated pattern runs alternately in vertical and horizontal lines. Then he shellacked Hie surface. Features Invisible Two other walls have been cov ered with ordinary burlap and thi n painted a pink-beige. The fourth wall has (loor lo ceiling drapes thai pull across the wall and wide win dow. The dining room table opens out ol the eardhoard-rov ereil wall. l!y making Hie openings along the reg ular lines of the cardboard. Sloane has made the built-in features in visible. The table opens down from ; the top. It's also hinged in the mid : die so it either can be half open to seal lour, or folded completely out lo seal eight or ten people. Sloane turned the wall space be hind the table into an attractive china cabinet, painted chartreuse, with a mirrored hack and glass shelves. A leather-covered bench doubles as dining room seating and storage space. The leather seat lilfs up so the space below can hold canned goods and pots and pans. The corrugated cardboard wall also opens to reveal a broom closet, ironing board and shelves for gen eral storage The built-in kitchen fits into a tiny alcove along one side, which is covered by figured draperies continuing around the alcove and across the one end of the room. Cabinet Bed Folds One of Sloane's pet ideas for condensed living isn't in his pres ent apartment. It's a fold-away cabinet bed that he designed for his own use two years ago. The single bed had hinges along one side so it could bp folded into a long, low cabinet. Striated plywood doors opened out from the center to form a head and footboard for I he bed. A fluorescent lighting tube along the inside of the headboard door e ven made a bed lamp. The cabinet was 18 inches deep and eight feet long, but it also held storage space for linens, some clothes and a bedside radio. Sloane says a similar design is on the mar ket now. but his model never has cone any farther than his own liv ing room. His full-time business is making models of new products for other designers and building furni ture lo order. But his favorite topic of conver sation still is condensed living, in Sloane's dream house, every wall will hold the makings of another ocm. DON'T If A WAUR CLOWN . . .

I Here are some of this designers' creations. j There is no doubt about them -they were obviously meant lor hoys.

Be sure the waistline is at the right place and 1 hat I lie skirl is a becoming length. Check the side seams, which should follow a straight line to the floor. Test for roominess too by reaching alius upward as in getting a cup from a high shelf. And finally, sit down in the dress to check fit in his position.
