Government Movies
BY FREDERIC J. HASkIN

OTTAWA, Canada, Oct. 3.-Canada
has a branch of government that
every progressive country will even
tually have-a commercial moving
picture office
So far, Canada is the first govern.
ment to advertise itself commercially
by the films. A few days ago. the an
nouncement came of one of the states,
Nebraska, opening its official moving
picture studio to distribute pictures
advertising the state, but this venture,
like most of its kind, depends on state
funds to finance it. The pictures are
to be distributed free.
The Canadian government offers
some of its films free to schools and
clubs, but for the most part distributes
official pictures through big, well es,
tablished moving picture concerns,
and charges regular rates for them
They become a part of the programs
in the various movie houses all over
the country. The idea is that people
appreciate and are more interested in
something they pay for than SOME
thing they get for nothing. So the
moving picture bureau of the govern
ment decided to make its films as
good or better than the commercial
ones, and to offer it to the trade. The
plan worked. The government pro-
auctions are in demand. Moreover,
the films practically pay for them
selves, and as publicity they are in
valuable to the country.
The project was started four years
ago with the purpose of showing not
only people of other countries, but
Canadians as well, what Canada is
| like. 1t is a well known fact, to quote
one instance, that while many Am.
orleans go to Algonquin park in On
ltario for vacations, Canadians find 1t
more of an adventure to cross the
| border and come down to the Maine
woods to rest. So a picture of Algon-
ouin park is regarded as a novel ell
tertainment among Canadian audi
ences. Just as a moving picture of the
| Mt. Shasta region would be some
I thing new to a large part OF New
York audience.
Even the old legend of Canada being
| largely the frozen north obtains to
some extent among southern Cana
dians. The government film-makerS
say: "A good deal of what is now
regarded by intelligent Canadians as
arid, snow covered land is not barren
i the wear round The Mackenzie has1n
with it's short, hot summer OF long
DAYS is promising wheat land. But II
takes DAYS to get there, and the coun-
try is not opened up, and never VIII
be, so long as people dismiss it rs
the frozen north. We are taking pic
lures there and in other regions where
pictures, showing real conditions, have
never been taken before.
| Canada Not All Cold.
There is frozen, Arctic region In
! Canada, it is true. But that is not
Canada as it has been developed, and
as people should think of the country
| in general. Because so many people
do think of it in that vague way the

! les, and types of people are new and

FAITH OF CHRISTIANS
DISDAINS PESSIMISM
DECLARES REV. JAMES

Christians are not pessimistic," de-
clared Rev. H. S. James, pastor of the
United Brethren church, in his sermon
Sunday evening. Christians believe
in tomorrow he said, land think that
it will be better even than today
Rev. James emphasized the fact that
there are great many pessimists in
the world who refuse to believe that
the things that are being done are for
the best AS an illustration of this
fact, he recalled the story of the
Priests crossing the River Jordan. He
pointed out that the pessimists did
not believe that the waters would part
when the priests and their party came
to the waters edge. However, when
the priests feet touched the water the
river parted and the party was able to
go through and continue their jour
ney.
In the final part of his address, Rev
James said, so many people in this
world are sinners and they are afraid
of the morrow to come. But the people
who have no cares and are Christians
can pass through each and every day
and feel that they are on the right side
In conclusion, Rev. James added, THE
