Joe Johnson Tops Entries !
In A-W Speedway Event
Joe Loe Johnson, the tall Ten
nessean from Chattanooga, who
holds the speed record at Ashe
viile-Weaverville Speedway, heads
a field of more than 30 modified
and sportsman stock ear drivers
competing in a tripleheader racing
program on A-W track Sunday af- 1
ternpon (April 17).
The 100-lap program will start i
with time ttlals at 1:30 p.m. The |
schedule includes two 10-lap heat
races, a 1 S lap consolation and a
3l>-lap main event for modified and ;
sportsman cars. A 35-lap amateur
event rounds out the card of ac
tion.
In Ashevllle-Weaverville Speed
way's season opener, held April 3, j
Johnson spurred his 1937 Chevro
let coupe, powered by a 375-horse
power Cadillac engine, around the j
half-mile oval in a record 24 sec- ;
onds during time trials. It shatter- 1
ed the previous track record of
24.01 seconds, set by Jimmy
Thompson of Monroe in a Chrys
ler-powered Plymouth last June 6.
Johnson continued his domi
nance through the first heat race
when he completely outclassed the
competition. He took an early lead
in the main eevnt and it looked
like he was headed for a clean
sweep.
But mechanical trouble on the
26th lap took him out of the race i
and left the way open for Cotton
Owens of Spartanburg, S. C., who
had driven on Johnson's bumper
throughout the race.
Owens, who pilots a speedy
Chrysler-powered Plymouth, will J
be back In quest of win No. 2 and I
probably wil be Johnson's chief |
competitor.
Another phattanooga boy, Fred- j
dy Friar, who has been running
wild of late in his souped-up Ford 1
when Medford was safe on an cr- j
ror, Davis singled. Mallance walk- |

Says Age
Is Attitude
By DOROTHY ROE
Associated Press Women's Editor
Age is merely a matter of atti
tude, says Tyrone Power, who has
had a lot of practice proving this
theory recently.
The handsome Ty plays a role
starting as an 18-year-old boy and
ending up as a 75-year-old man in
his newest picture. Discussing
the difficulties of portraying the
progressive ages of man, he says:
"There are small, subtle changes
in gestures, mannerisms and pos
ture that indicate age more dram
atically even than makeup. To
portray old age, I made my move
ments slower, stood less erect, let
my neck sink slightly into my
shoulders, and unconsciously I
| changed my voice, too, making it
i less brisk, somehow."
Power chatted in the spacious
living room of the flve-story house
in New York's fashionable Turtle.
Bay section, which he has leased "
for the run of his current Broad
way play, "The Dark Is Light
Enough," in which he is co-star
red with Katharine Cornell. Hfe
took the house because he hopes
to have his two small daughters,
Romina Francesca, 3t?, and Taryn
Stephanie. 1V4, with him soon.
Power himself looks most court
i ly these davs. wearing a dignified
i Koalee for his part in the play,
and somehow adjusting his off
stage manner to his changed ap
pearance.
This subject of the outward signs
of age interests him. He believes
it is a study that might well be
made by women who want to stay
young During Aiming of "The
Long Gray Line," he worked out
home theories on the subject:
"If a woman suddenly starts
feeling old, she unconsciously
assumes the mannerisms of age?
the slump, the slowdown, the
weary expression.
"I honestly believe that If wo
men would keep their attitude
youthful, it would do more good
for their looks than all the beauty
shops.
"Youth is looking ahead, and
age is looking back. I think one of
the best ways to stay young is
always to have something to aspire
to. Never stop and be satisfied.
When you aren't looking ahead,
then you have to start looking
back, and that's the beginning of
I old age -
Right now Ty is looking forward
, to a summer vacation in Greece,
with his two little girls, if pos
sible. and then another Broadway
play next fall. He also expects to

'Green Thumbers' Crowd
Politicians In Washington
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON ? There are al
most as many "green thumbers" as
politicians in the nation's capital.
In fact many of the politicos patter
in their gardens. Realtors say that
next to a room large enough for
entertaining, most local home
bnyers seek a plot of garden.
The growing interest in growing
is evidenced in the crowded cal
endar of spring garden tours, the
feverish year 'round activities of
Washington's 78 individual garden
clubs, the thousands who jammed
the fifth annual National Capital
Flower and Garden Show held re
cently at the armory.
Pretty Pat Nixon, wife of the
vice president, who cut the white
satin ribbon opening the flower
show, said she was thrilled to
find the tulips she planted in her
suburban garden coming up on
her return from her recent good
will tour of Latin American coun
tries with her husband.
Mrs. Nixon, who subbed for
Mrs. Eisenhower who was ill with
the flu, "Oh-ed and Ah-ed" with
the rest of us as she toured the
two-acre fairyland of flowers. She
was pinned with a large spray of
white orchids. She was presented
also with a bouquet of roses, an
armful of lilacs and some of the

of which had been flown from her ^
native California.
She was especially interested in
the surprise "Mamie Garden" set
up by the Allied Florists of Great
er Washington in honor of the
First Lady.
Washington socialites and gov
ernment workers joined in enthu
siasm and plenty of hard work
setting, up the garden exhibits and
floral decorations, most of them
bringing prize blooms from their
own gardens.
Further evidence of Washing
ton's increasing importance in gar
dening circles is the admittance of
four local clubs to the exclusive
Garden Clubs of America organiza
do another movie in the mean
time.
And here's a tip for Tyrone
Power fans: The star prefers girls
with short hair, puts good. com
panionship ahead of beauty, and
says if she's Interesting he doesn't
care whether a girl is Chinese or
Irish.
Bight now, however, he is not
in tercet ed in any romantic en
tanglements. The only girls he is
really excited about right now are
aged SVft and IV*?his daughters.
