\ 'Witch' Slaying Case Continued # Houghton, Mich., TP—The weird story of a man and wife who killed their maid because the * husband believed the \girl was a \witch\ was continued todaj in Houghton. The pair, M r • and Mrs. Wilfred Pitchette, are being examined . on a charge of murder. TWELVE PAGES T 1 S k f I ENDICOTT, N. Y, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1938 VOLUME FORTY-FIVE, NO. 65 Health Workers Convene # Grand Rapids, Mich, TP—Health workers from all parts of Michigan gathered in Grand Rapids today for a three-day public health con ference sponsored by the Michigan Department of Health and the Michigan Public Health As- sociatiorif Jimmie Fidler - in Hollywood Republicans Win Every Office in Town of Vestal \ 0 Hollywood-r-The mortality rate among high-ranking studio work ers is turning that \Life-begrins- at-forty\ theory of Professor Pit kin's into a ghastly laugh-line as far as Hollywod is concerned. In surance statistics prove that the average life Bpan of Pilmville's top-notchprs is about seven years shorter than that of even the hardest working laborers. The other day the RKO troupe which has been filming Kipling's colossal, \Gunga Din,\ returned from a two-months location jaunt—and the Hollywood medi- cnl profession began reaping a harvest. Gcorgo Stevens, the director, went to Palm Springs on doctor's orders to recuperate from a se vere case of jitters; 3be August, the cameraman, suffered a full- fledged nervous breakdown; Cary Grant and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., are off to Europe to cure at tacks of \nerves\; the. unit man ager is under o doctor's care for the same ailment and. even th<i two scenarists are taking en forced vacations. Nerve tension played the same havoc with the \Jesse James\ company at Twentieth Century- Pox. \Breakdowns\ are so com mon in Our-villc that they no longer rate as news. There Is little or no physical strain involved in picture making. In fact, Bet visitor* always came nway convinced that movie-work ers, with their hour long lolls be tween scenes and their month- long lay-offs between pictures, all load the life of Reilly. The strain is entirely on the nerves and I .think that most of it can be charged to the intense competi tion that makes every tomorrow u hazard. People who live with the axe poised constantly over their necks worry themselves into illnesses and, Rometimes, into early graves. Stopped in at United Artists to watch the filming of wind-up scenes for \Trade Winds.\ Pred- ric March was kidding one of the many Japanese lads working in the picture, \Your men and wom en both wear kimonos,\ he point ed out, \how can you tell which sex is which when you dress alike?\ The self-possessed Jap anese smiled slyly. \I .could ask the same question,\ he countered. \How do you tell the Hollywood boys and girls apart'when both sexes wear short half and long punts?\ \That's easy,\ said the quick-witted Mr. Miitjih. \The girls are the ones who carry pocketbooks.\' I've had on my desk for two weeks a memo to write a para graph about something I saw at Twentieth Century-Fox. The script girl on. a set com plained she had n date that night and she hadn't had time to get a needed manicure. Arleen Whelan —a bnrber-shop manicurist be fore she became a Beit-screen- bet—overheard her, produced » manicure - set from her make-up kit, and calmly went to work. The reason I didn't write the anecdote was that it sounded like n publicity effusion. Perhaps it still does, but nevertheless it's true. And I'm going to clap a 7ittlc louder than usual when Arleen's next picture Is pre viewed, .
