TEFAN used to make

Sup stories for himself about little

folks and giants, and about strange

planets and spaceships. There's not a

thing unusual about that other

children like to read and dream about

the same fancies. Stefan went one

step farther. Now he is, in a way, one

of the little people living on a strange

planet; and he got there by spaceship.

Here's how he does it: Stefan plays

Barry Lockridge in ABC-TV's Land of

the Giants. For Stefan it is a boy's

dream come true. The popular series

is the story of the passengers and

crew of a space vehicle which is forced

to make an emergency landing on an

unknown planet, a land of giants

twelve times the size of earthbound

men. The giants intend to use Barry

and his friends as laboratory guinea

pigs to further their knowledge in

medicine and electronics.

----------- 7 -----------

several movies and many TV shows,

including the Hallmark Hall of Fame.

With all this acting in the last ten

years, it wouldn't seem that Stefan has

had much time for school. But the

law says that, acting or no, children

must have a certain number of hours

of classwork each day. While Stefan is

doing Land of the Giants, he goes

to classes on the 20th Century Fox

lot. His teacher, Mrs. Klamp, was once

Shirley Temple's teacher.

Stefan has a hectic schedule when

he is working on a TV show. He must

be up at 5:30 or 6 o'clock in the morn-

ing in order to be on the lot and in

makeup before shooting starts. He has

a full day of acting and class sessions.

Stefan likes to play with the huge props He's

ready to climb the thread from a giant spool if

pilot Gary Conway will let him.

Photographs ABC-TV

Trick camera work and special props

help to create the effect of small hu-

mans in gigantic danger. Part of the

fun of being Barry in Land of the

Giants is playing with the enormous

props used in the show. When Stefan

isn't needed for a scene, he sometimes

goes to the prop storage area. The

show has used a 30-foot-wide desk,

and a huge plastic hand that's as wide

as Stefan is tall. There's a safety pin

so big that the little people use it as

a grappling hook. The prop man gave

Stefan a kitchen match about the size

of a small baseball bat.

Acting is nothing new to Stefan.

When he turned thirteen recently, he

also chalked up his tenth year as an

actor. He was born in Toronto, and

began acting on TV in Canada when

he was three. Since that time, his fam-

ily has moved to New York and then

to California. Stefan has appeared in

Flight 703's crew: Gary Conway, Heather Young,

Don Marshall. Passengers: Kurt Kasznar, De-

anna Lund, Stefan Arngrim, Don Matheson.

By the time he gets home it's dinner

time, and he spends the evening do-

ing homework and learning his lines

for the scenes to be filmed the next

day. But sometimes on Saturdays he

sleeps till noon. Both his mother and

father are in show business, and they

know that acting is hard work. So

they like him to catch up on his rest.

Stefan's father, Thor Arngrim, is an

actor and producer. His mother,

Norma Macmillan Arngrim, is an ac-

tress, writer, and recording artist. She

also does the voices for many cartoons

and television commercials. Stefan's

little sister Alison, who is six, is one

of his most devoted fans. She'd like

to act someday too. Rounding out

the Arngrim family are Rex, a Dalma-

tian, and Pork Chop, a pooch of un-

certain ancestry.

Newton LeVine, is an

M'architect. He is also a professor,

an archaeologist, and a city planner,

but if I put all that in the title, not

much room would be left for the pic-

ture. He has been in each of those

occupations at different times and in

different places. Right now he is

mostly an architect and city planner,

and he works in Boston.

Daddy learned how to be an archi-

tect at the University of Pennsylvania

in Philadelphia. He went to graduate

school there, too, and studied city

planning. That's a good combination,

because now he can help to plan a

city, and he knows how the buildings

that go to make up the city should be

designed as well.

The plan of an ancient city led

Daddy into archaeology. After he

graduated from school, he took a job

with an expedition to Guatemala. His

assignment was to map the jungle ex-

cavation site of the 1100-year-old

Mayan city of Tikal.

He lived in the jungle for five

months. The only contact his group

One of the most spectacular and

unusual parks in this country is the

Saguaro National Monument near

Tucson, Arizona. It is only in this sec-

tion of the country (and one or two

remote places in California) that you

will be able to see the tall and stately

saguaro cactus. These giants of the

desert may be only a few inches tall

when they are five years old, but

they grow to be almost fifty feet tall

and sometimes live for 200 years.

Like all cacti, they are filled with

water. During the rainy season in the

desert, a large plant may absorb as

much as a ton of water through its

widespread root system and store it

in its sponge-like tissues.

The large, creamy white flower which

blooms in May and early June has

been chosen as the official flower for

the state of Arizona. It is a feeding

YOUNG Clint Howard has both an

interesting career and an absorb-

ing hobby. When he isn't working in

front of a camera, he is behind one

taking pictures. Clint is a star of the

CBS television series Gentle Ben,

and an amateur photographer.

Clint takes pictures, as do many

boys and girls, for use in school proj-

him of parties and trips.

Of the two activities, acting came
