pre-Civil War days were scat
tered everywhere. Children, and
men and women of all ages.
We walked up the road to
where the greatest crowd was
gathered. A big camera boom
which looked something like a
derrick. A whole truckload of
big SpotlightS. Clarence Brown,
famous director, sitting on a
stool to the side of the camera.
Bud Lawson, one of Hollywood's
more famous of the youthful
cameramen, giving orders to his
assistants at the camera and
telling the men handling the re-
flector boards just where he
wanted the light. Browns as

tions on the microphone whose
metallic voice echoed among the
settings of the old Ohio Evil

Tell me how you did all Of
this, Mr.. Oliver"
HOW It's Done
First saw the script. Then
Brown and I talked over the
scenes. I then made a model to
scale Of what I thought the
village should look like. We had
to scout around to find the
proper place.
From this little inlet in the
lake we have fashioned the
thing to look like a river front.
This whole village was built in
nine days. We had about 14O
men working constantly. Much
Of the work was done in the
M-G-M carpenter shop and the
assembly work done here. Every.
thing is carried out to the tint
est detail, as you can see. Little
crosses and head stones in the
grave yard, corn stubbleS showed
into the ground to look as if the
stalks had Just been cut. Pump
kins lying around. Fences along
the roads. All painted to look
old and weather beaten"

Across the lake from out
Of the tall trees came words
as if from the throat of

these orders :"
1t was the public address
system rigged up on the To-
cation so that the director
could give orders and be
heard by everyone. What a
far cry-and a loud one
from the days of D W. Grif-
fifth, Cecil B. DeMille, and
tn cir ever present mega
phones!
Another motor boat rushed
up and lay painting at the dock.
"M-G-M?"
In answer we all climbed in,
and the boat raced across the
lake. But suddenly, as we round
ed a bend, the driver cut the
engine.
why have you done that?"
"See that red flag way UP in
the tree? Well. that means.
Everybody quiet! We're shoot

We sa; silent while the boat
bobbed around like a drunken
cork. The loud speaker would

would be silent. They were

again. Suddenly the red flag

he said. There are three powerful
factors that will work effectively in
offsetting any tendency to follow any
f1attening out or downward trend in
business. These are:
Il. The fewer and more reluctant
the buyers expected to be found in
the market place the more urgent it
is to install air conditioning to at
tract the buyers and encourage the
hesitant ones to take the time to let
the displays and selling take effect.
This has been noted in many lines
already, but Of especial significance
is the evidence that jewelry stores,
where buying in all price classes is
very deliberate, set out to lick the
summer slump this last season by
installing air conditioning.

National Guard Officers
Guests OF Rotary Club
During Luncheon Today

Al night Of nights was ceIe-
brated last night at the Fort Tay-
Tor Reservation when the Officers
of the 265th Regiment Coast Ar
tillery Florida National Guards
entertained in compliment to the
members of Key West Rotary
Club.
This affair was given in cele-
bration of the 10Th anniversary
of the formation Of the regiment,
and was one Of the most ella.
borate imaginable. The officers
mess hall at the encampment was
remindful of the dining room Of
a first class hotel, and the service
was similar to that of any first
class hostelry
The menu was, to use the words
Of q Rotarian whose word is final
in matters Of cuisine and culinary
preparations, comparable only to
that which graces the dining tables
of any restaurant anywhere.
On one Of the tables was .
beautifully decorated Birthday
cake, and the baker, artistic to
the nth degree, had traced in
glistening icing on the top the
words Welcome Rotary Club"
1T Was Delicious" was the YER
dict Of hosts and guests.
Lieutenant Colonel P. Z. Wall,
regimental commander delivered
brief welcoming address to the
knosts md the response was made
BY President Charles S. Taylor, OF
the Rotary Club, who called on
each member present who in turn
gave his name and classification.
During the evening there were
a number Of impromptu enter
tainment features introduced but
the outstanding offering was that
of Sergeant Hicks, whose recita-
ton Of Kipling's "Gunga DIM
End his "Roamin' in the Gloam-
in" recited and sung in pure
Scotch dialect, were voted the
most perfect presentations ever
heard.

cine and treatment. One visit was
made to a pr-n2tal having a ven
,ereal disease to persuade her t.
attend the venereal clinic. Four
midwives were visited for Midwife
instruction. Four members a.
tended the regular meeting OF the
Midwife Club, and after the
meeting, the midwiyes gave DEM
onstiations in the presence of the
nurses. Bags were inspected, and
al We're clean and fully equippe /.
Infant and PRIESTHOOD Hygiene
Thirty infants were visited in
their homes during the month; six
teen attended the Well Baby Con-
ference held the first of the
month. and all received Cod-Livr-
Oil, and necessary formulate.
Three infants were admitted to
medical and nursing service.
The pre-school roundup was 1T
very satisfactory. The low attend
anee was probably due to the, abb
normal amount of rain and cloudy
weather, and to the fact that sew
enty-one pre-school children were
examined earlier in the year at
the nursery schools. However.
sixteen white children, and six
colored were given thorough ex-
animation. No. pronounced de-
facts were found other than de-
cayed teeth.
Administration
Five visits were made to a local
dentist concerning the correction
OF INDECENT chisdren's teeth. Ten
visits were made to different
PIT. a. members regard ng the
pre-school roundup.
