European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 10, 1967, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Dick Van Dyke a refreshing Maverick continued from Page w know so much More and they re All searching for some values in  have they rejected the values of their elders it would seem so and i think they May be right Don t you the often claim we say one thing but do  he smiled As he said it but there was no mistaking the seriousness of his conviction. When asked whether the Church could play a significantly dynamic role in dealing with currently volatile social problems in the ., Van Dyke took an affirmative position with one Reserva  Shook his head doubtfully when the racial Issue was brought up the negro today tends to regard the Church As a White Man s  moving aside As a movie prop was carried past Van Dyke lowered his voice As a scene was being shot nearby showing the child Catcher played by Robert help Mann capturing Carac Tacus Potts Van Dyke two children after tempting them with ice Cream. Look at that Man Van Dyke said pointing toward help Mann. A real Genius. A Fine actor choreographer did you know he choreographed the red shoes ? a fantastic  sticking to the entertainment world Van Dyke said that he accepted the role of Wacky inventor Caractacus Potts in chitty chitty bang bang a name derived from the noise made by the marvelous automobile around which Ian Fleming s children s fantasy was built on the condition that he could stick to his native american accent Potts is an englishman. Van Dyke winced when he thought Back on his part of All purpose Chimney sweep Hubert in award winning Mary  although he had nothing but Praise for Julie Andrews who played the remarkable governess Mary Poppins his bout with Hubert s Cockney accent was another matter. I had this Cockney fellow working with me teaching me How to speak it properly Van Dyke reminisced but when i got Back to the studio in Holly Wood they gave one listen and said look our american audience will never understand what you re saying. You be got to modify it so i modified , when i came to England for this picture chitty ban people in Lon Don kept coming up to me and saying they saw me in Mary Poppins an said that i must have been All Over England because sometimes i sounded North country sometimes Wales some times somewhere else. So when this picture came up i said Fine As Long As i did t have to sound  someone remarked that miss Andrew Swan t sexy in the classical sense but that she had some Quality that was exciting. It is True in t it that most of these symbols today Are imported. Now we seem to be looking for actresses who can  Van Dyke said that his current commitments carry through 1971, after which he May devote his considerable energies to personal projects. Among other things he would like Todo a few things directed toward Young sters perhaps dramatizations which Are brisk and entertaining but which have some special Point or meaning. We re so afraid today of anything message he said a trifle sadly. Van Dyke has a better Chance than most to get messages across he gets a lot of moral mileage out of an engaging smile. Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i would like to form a club called the Down with hippies society or something like that. I am tired of Reading about weirdos pot smokers Loders draft card burners and the res of those creeps. Why do we waste valuable Magazine and newspaper space and prime to time on blobs who contribute nothing have earned nothing and amount to nothing these oddballs have the idea that they Are something special because they Are attracting so much attention. They go around ruining the scenery whenever they appear just their presence is a blight they enjoy the stares hoping someone will Start somethings they can get into a fight and yell i am being persecute because 1 am a  i was told recently that Iam a Square because i have a haircut a clean neck and Wear shoes with laces. I also Shower every Day and Wear trouser that Are so Loose i can actually sit Down in them. I know i am not alone in my views. There must be others who resent the fact that nor Mal people Don t get any time Page 14 or space or attention. How about it Down with hippies dear Down Here s some space with More than 50 Mil lion readers. I too deplore the attention Given to people who Don t deserve it. But unfortunately bizarre and Odd Ball behaviour is often More fascinating than decent living. So Long As this is one of the unalterable facts of life the offbeat the Kook and the Way outer is going to grab the Center of the stage. Dear Ann Landers you prob ably never heard of a problem like this in your whole life. Iam a 12-year-old girl who needs your help.

But i am sensible girl and not fat or anything. Yesterday when mom heard me pouring a Glass of milk for myself she said put it Back. You must ask me if you want to eat Between  every one of my friends can go into their fridges and eat whatever they want to and you should see the glop they pack in. What is your opinion hungry dear Hung i am Assum ing your Story is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth in which Case the 12 year old should be free to help herself to a Glass of milk or a piece of fruit without asking special permission dear Ann Landers i am a 42-year-old woman in Good health and have straight morals.
