Mrs. Walker died Tuesday morning in Paris. played in Mattoon, said he has since finished another picture yet to. be announced. Ives' twinkling blue eyes, which lighted up with laughter frequently Wednesday, and his robust form give an impression of a man with an easy life and few cares.

However, such is not the case. "People often say," Ives philosophized, "there goes a man who has pretty "But they don't realize how hard you work when you're shooting a picture. You get up every morning at 6 o'clock; you go to the set and you get made up; you rehearse and rehearse and rehearse; you shoot some scenes and about 6:30 p.m. you go home exhausted." appeared to his brothers and sisters that Ives had lost a few of his plenteous pounds. Probably he perspired them away while shooting "'The Spiral Road." The movie was made during several weeks in the jungles of Surinam, a Dutch colony in.

South America. you ever work near the Equator in July?" he remarked. Ives' hectic schedule doesn't allow him much time for trips home. The last time he was here was in 1959. But when he does come, he makes an effort to visit all his family.

He was accompanled by another brother, Clarence, of Macomb, who met him at the Peoria airport and chauffeured him on his jaunt. At their table at the motor inn, Ives reminisced with his elder brother and sister, Clarence and Audry, about childhood days in Jasper County, and he told his niece and nephew about his uncompleted sojourn at Eastern Illinots University in the 1920'6. The yen to roam took him from the classroom to the open road and he never received the bachelor's degree he set out to obtain.

He made up for it, though, when he was recently presented his honorary doctor of laws degree from Fairleigh Dickinson. "Big Daddy" told with evident pride of his exploits on the EIU football field in 1929, but one; area gridiron experience he recalled with a wince "That was when I played for Newton High School and Olney beat us 95 to nothin'." The reminiscing, the philosophizing and the entertaining wit are a too infrequent treat, for Ives' friends and family back home. They would like to see him more often, but regardless of how many years elapse between reunions they need never fear his changing.
