have a representation in the New Eng
land Association. It is realized that
the State unit is the least important
as the sale of milk, cream and other
dairy products takes no note of State
lines.
At every meeting the producers will
have their own speakers, but an Or
ganizer we'll informed as to the de-
tails Of the general movement will be
present to help steer the producers in
the direction of an effective organ
1zation with the widest possible facil-
ity for cooperation and united effort.
No such attempt at simultaneous or
ganiZation ever has been attempted
before and the plan is expected to
gather impetus from the fact that SO
many groups Of men are all doing the
same thing at the same time.
With the county units organized Sat-
urday the representatives will go back
to their respective towns and proceed
to organize every available man. 1t is
not expected it will be difficult to do
this. for there is everything to gain
and nothing to lose from uniting with
the organization. The aim will not only
be to secure better prices, but to grade
up the milk to a higher quality so that
an even greater financial return can be
demanded justly. This will be a grad
ual process of evolution from the pres
ent half-productive herds to herds work.

high and low-grade products.

named is in charge of the local arrange
ments for hall. publicity, etc. but is
not necessarily responsible for the con-
duct Of the meeting itself. His post

STILL SUFFERING FROM
SCENE INJURIES

As an aftermath OF the fire staged
at the California Motion Picture plant
at San Rafael, Cal, during the produc-
ton OF THE Unwritten Law" Andrew
Robson, who played the part of Larry
Mccarthy. is now in St Lukes Hos
pital, San Francisco, suffering from
the injuries he received at that time
One of the big scenes of The Tn
written Law" is fire during which
Larry Mccarthy resCues Kate Wilson
(Beatriz Michelena) and her daughter
Sue (Baby Rix) from a bedroom in
the rear of a burning millinery store
To get realistic effect a building was
especially erected for this purpose,
kerosene applied, and then the whole
set on fire. Because of an excessive
amount of kerosene the blaze got be-
yond control, and what was suppos ed
to be make-believe rescue for the
picture became an actuality. Robson
carried first Baby RiX and then Miss
Michelena through a blazing inferno.
All three were seriously burned, but
Robson worst of all.
AS he had been cast for an important
role in the next California feature,
The Woman Who Dared" Robson
fought the idea of going to a hospital
to recuperate from his burns The
seriousness of his condition, however,
finally made the course practically
necessary. The doctors declare that
he will not have recovered for at least
six weeks, and this means that some
one else will have to take his place in
the coming production.
