Now that the movie producers
have found that titlesongs from
movies are a big help in promoting
the picture (latest example was
“High and the Mighty”,) they’re
reversing the usual procedure and
maxing a movie to fit tne song j

rights to title “Young at Heart” to
feature Doris Day and Frank Sina-
tra ... It was the Sinatra re-
cording of “Young at Heart” which
made the song a smash hit this
spring . . Speaking of Sinatra, he
will do two of NBC-TV’s upcoming
color spectaculars which Betty
Hutton kicked off recently.

1 REMEMBER'
BY THE OLDTIMERS
From Mrs Harold Meyers, Short
Creek, Virginia: 1 remember when
our homes had floors made of
very rough lumber and full of
splinters.
To mop these floors, you Used a
broom made of wood splints. You
had to splash tne water iroin a
tub to the floor and scrub very1
hard.
In the corner of the room there
was a hole drilled in the floor,'
about the size of a quarter
Through this hole all the
water was swept out.
To dry the floor was the hardest
and biggest job. On hands and
knees you had to rub the floor with
rags and wring out the water un-
til the rough plank: were dny.

From George L. Wilkinson, Hil-
ton, New York: I remember when
mother would send me to tin
store for groceries. When asked
for a pound of crackers, tin- gro-
cer would open a paper bag and
drive the cat out of the crackers
The crackers always were in a
barrel and the cat always slept
there.

From Mrs. Jessie A. Miller,

a new- family moved into a neigh-
borhood all the neighbors came
calling If you wished to be accept-

their calls and returned the calls
later.
