Not that Amy Vanderbilt, a Miss Universe To Have Screen Try-out Today HOLLYWOOD W—A screen test was set up at Universal-Interna- tional Studio today for Miss Uni- verse—21-year-old Miriam Steven- son of South Carolina. Miss Stevenson, _ proclaimed early Saturday to be the mos: beautiful girl in the world, had won the Miss USA title earlier in the annual contest t nerby Long Beach. One of her prizes was a film contract. The first girl in the contest’s three-year history to win both crowns, Miss Stevenson has what the judges regard as perfect meas- urements—36 inches at the bust and hips and 24 at the waistline. She won the Miss Universe title over 32 foreign entries. Universal-International is one of the sponsors of the worldwide contest. eagerly looking forward to the week-long day camp. The campers will use West Mar- tetio Towers and the facilities of the County Beach from 10 o’clock in the morning until 3 o’clock in the afternoon. i Only Girl Scouts who register will be permitted to take part in the program. Parents will register their daughters and sign permis- sion-slips. A registration fee of fif- ty-cents will be charged. Each troop will make its own arrangements for transportation to and from the camp site.

Sigsbee Park “Teen-Agers” Have First Dance On Saturday Night Practically every ‘teen ager’ ” in Sigsbee Park turned up at the teen-age dance on Saturday night. The dance was held at the new shelter at. the recreation area. The dance was sponsored by the newly formed Sigsbee Park Community Couneil, but the youngsters managed the affair from start to finish. The youngsters danced to records and program dances included “girl | breaks” and ‘“‘broom” dances. The committee in charge served cold drinks, cookies and crackers. Members of the adult council were chaperones. The dance marked the first event scheduled by the council especial- ly for the teen-age group.

On Wednesday night the young people will have their first formal meeting and will make definite plans for their next party. Present officers of the Sigshee teen-age council are Lynn Flood and Martin Lee Frantz, co- chairmen; Judy Fincher, secretary and Joan Hoffman, publicity chair-| man.

Children love to put on bathing suits and run in and out of the spray of the lawn sprinkler. It’s fun and it seems harmless enough. However, there are a few hazards, especially for tiny tots. If the days is very hot—and it’s on such days that this idea comes up—the difference in temperature between the air and the water may be very great. Little children chill quite easily. If a child becomes thoroughly chilled with this water play he’s very likely to come down with a sore throat the next day. It may seem like a paradox to get a sore throat from chilling when thermometer is hovering in the 90’s. It’s the sad truth just the same. Older children seem much better able to withstand a reasonable amount of chilling without bad ef- fects. But the little tots, the twos, threes, fours and even fives, have not built up much resistance to this kind of abuse. Not all, of course, but a fair number develop colds and sore throats after chill- ing. Since it’s such a lot of fun to play in the spray, is there anything to do to make it safe? Yes—avoid chilling. Have your sprinkler play when it isn’t so blistering hot. On a warm sunny day—not a very hot one—there’s less danger that the air temperature and water temper- track devised with the hot rodder in mind. If the teen-agers want to see how fast they can go—this is the place to do it, where it is sup- ervised and free from perestrians and other cars. Hot rod clubs have sprung up all over the country to teach members to abide by safety rules. Another way to cut down on the 2,350,000 yearly accidents in which persons under 20 are involved is to teach them the right way to drive whfle they are still in high school. The American Automobile As- sociation reports that more than 330,000 high school students took behind-the-wheel training courses last year and an additional 259,000 had only classroom insruction. One-fourth of the nation’s second- ary schools participated. Cost per student for the full course is only $36—less than the cost of repairing one crumpled fender—() Newsfeature.

Also if there is any way you; can run hot water through the garden hose you have the problem solved for any day. C. If you’re going to permit it any- way, and take the chance, at least be handy with a towel and dry the child off quickly as soon as he comes out of the water. This at least cuts down the hazard, thought it does not eliminate it. If instead of a_ sprinkler you | have a backyard wading pool, it’s} easy to see that the water isn’t} too cold. If you just put the pool in the sun for an hour before the children play in it, the shallow water will warm up.
