Cameraman 'Shoots' Real Head-Hunters
Hollywood—(U.P.)—Hollywood directors, who get ulcers wringing performances out of local cuties, look with awe these days upon Lewis Coslow. He just turned a tribe of savage head-hunters into movie actors.
They were real, live, honest-to-gosh head-hunters from the mouth of the Amazon river in South America. Mr. Coslow packed in by boat, mule, and foot to their native village and kept his cameras grinding while the boys of the Jijero tribe brought back a freshly-joined off head and shrank it down to doll-size.
He got back with his own head, too. Three heads, in fact. The savages were so impressed with his camera hocus-pocus they gave him a couple of souvenirs. The head-hunters call them "tsantas."
Mr. Coslow's movie, which he has tentatively titled "Headhunters of the Amazon," is probably the first in Hollywood history with such a bloodthirsty cast. But he said it was easier getting the Jiveros to act than it is with a lot of glamour girls he could name but wouldn't. He didn't even take a make-up man with him. The savages put on their own. And if it looks a little like war-paint—that's just what it is.
"I walked in cold," he said. "I've been an explorer for years, but this was the first time I ever met the head-hunters up close. As I'd approach a village I'd shout: 'Whe-de, whe-de.' That means 'friend.'"
Luckily, the gents with the spears understood his dialect. When he got closer, he dangled dime store beads and shiny rinkets in front of the women and kids and showed the warriors his picture in a national magazine.
"That impressed 'em," Mr. Coslow said.
From there on in, with a fast assisst from a native interpreter, the Hollywood explorer turned the Jiveros into a bunch of movie stars.

Design Instructor Decorates Home In Wichita
Pictures of a Wichita home, interiorly decorated by Miss Jean Saffell, instructor in design, are being displayed in the design department of Frank Strong hall. This home, which is located at 517 Oakwood in Wichita, is ranch style and is finished in natural red-wood.
By Repairing Generators and Starters before they wear out.
The entrance hall which opens onto the dining-living room area is one of the special attractions of the home. A bath, located so conveniently that it may be used as a powder room for guests, and a 25-foot thermo-pane glass wall which opens off the living room to a terrace at the rear of the house, are also outstanding features.
The furniture is of birch which blends with the natural finished woodwork used through-out the house. The furniture in different rooms can be easily interchanged to fit social activities. The floor of the dining-living room area is covered with a wool string rug.

Conditioning to the public. David Searcy Barrow, of Illinois, was the architect.
This ranch style house was built by Seibert and Willis company to present the Servel All-Year Air
All draperies are on traverse rods and are lined in light buff to contrast with the redwood finish of the exterior. Miss Saffell has used a color scheme which is based on the "nature" colors—blues, greens, reeds and browns.
Naturally I am delighted that Thomasville is growing, but there are decided disadvantages to rapid growth. Once upon a time I was able to walk down the street and speak to everybody without getting an icy glare. They knew me and I knew them. I still speak to everybody, but the strange women give me a look that practically spells out "Wolf" The strange men probably think I am a politician. I don't know which look is the most insulting. I was born here in Thomasville. It is my home town, and I'll just be damned if I'll let a bunch of new-comers make me change the habits I have formed over a period of forty-five years.—Earl L. Tucker, "Rambling Roses and Flying Bricks3" Times, Thomasville, Ala.
