stitutes high proof that ethnology is
BY no means the dull thing you
may have been thinking; that, in
stead, it is a lively and engrossing
motion picture theme.
/ The ring of authenticity sounds
through every foot of this northland
tale of deep parental love. and the
more conventional romantic kind,
although courtship in "En Sa-
ga" has a far more rugged back
ground than the courtship asso-
ciated with moonshine and honey
suckle. The hero and heroine OF
this love idyll, and the other man,
too, are astonishingly handsome
people, but not in the glamour girl
nor matinee idol sense. They are
dressed for the ice and SHOWS Of
their homeland and the furs which
exclude the cold winds of the north
country are rather more service
able than exotic.
Furs and icy climes conflne them
not, however, when it comes to liv-
ing pretty dramatic lives. Always
in the background is the dramatic
struggle the Lapps must put up
against a Nature which manifested
itself in a stern manner on the
storm whipped coast of the Arctic
Sea; the constant wandering to find
pasture for the reindeer herds. AL
ways in the foreground of EN-
Saga" is the race conflict, the sus-
picion and ill-feeling with which
the Lapps regard the Daros, as
they call them, and the attitude
of these Norwegians to what they
consider an inferior race Of vaga-
bonds.
Laila, the lovely heroine of EN-
Saga" rescued from the wolves
when a babe, reared by a rich Lapp
in the customs of that wandering
race and brought to young woman
hood to be afflanced to young Lapp
lad, is caught up in the middle OF
the race difficulties. She is a Daro,
and before the planned marriage
can be performed her heredity boils
up to engulf her upbringing. When
Mother Laagje collapses on trek
toward pasture land and Aslak
Laagje, who has been a father to
Laila, plans to leave his wife behind
and push on, Laila's Daro heart cries
out at the Lapp custom which places
reindeer before all else. When Laila
first sets eye upon Anders, the Nor
wegian pastors son, her heart cries
out, too, singing different message,
and the young Lapp fiance, though
he knows it not, is destined never
to have Laila for bride.
There is considerable turbulence
and turmoil, inner and outer, before
destiny is fulfilled, of course, all
translated to the screen with con-
summate skill. That authenticity
rather than a pretty picture was
the goal of the makers of EN- Saga"
is further disclosed when Aino
Taube, the extraordinarily compe-
tent actress who plays Laila, is first
introduced on the end Of tether
tied to a romping reindeer, her
charming face being pushed into
the snow in highly unglamorous
manner.

Election Officials
Deny Budget Hike

Disturbed at reports that the
board of county commissioners had
been requested to reduce the 1939-4O
budget appropriation for the county
board of election supervisors, two
members of the board this week de-
clared that the board actually had
requested a much smaller appropria-
ton than reported in the press.
Laurason b. Riggs, Brookeville,
and Carey Kingdom, Rockville, Demo-
cratic and Republican members of
the board, respectively, declare that
the board actually sought an orig
inal appropriation of $4,000 for the
approaching fiscal year.
This sum was increased, they said,
to $4,000, by Alexander X. Han
cock, county accountant, in order
to make provision for meeting the
expenses Of the 1910 primary cleo
tons in the county which the board
had intended to meet out Of the pro-
ceeds of the 1940-41 budget.
The budget item, accordingly,
reached the board of county COM
missioners in the form of a request
for $4,000 and when later it was
again voted to provide for the 1910
primary elections in next years
budget, a request for reduction
was made by Donald Bowie, Jr.,
chairman of the election board, and
Capt. Ward w. Caddington, clerk to
the board.
What inks Messrs. Riggs and King
don is the fact that they originally
asked only $1,000 and now, in spite
Of the reduction made at Bowels
suggestion, the budget calls for
$12,125.

mate Fire Hazards

Montgomery County volunteer fire.
men will join with fellow firemen
throughout the state in cooperating
with the State Insurance Commits
sioner and other agencies in con-
Quoting a comprehensive campaign to
stamp out fire hazards.
The local volunteer firemen will
function principally to survey and
inspect all public buildings, semi
public buildings and other struc-
lures with a view to correcting fire
hazards and making recommends
lions for safeguarding the premises
against fire losses.
Preliminary plans for the cam
paign have been outlined by John
b. Centrum, Insurance Commits
sioner, and call for drafting a code
establishing minimum standard of
safety for all public buildings. The
code will be drafted under the super
vision Of J. W. Just, Director Of
Fire Service Station, College of En-
cheering, University of Maryland.
Legal details of the code will be
passed upon by attorneys in the
office of Attorney-General William
C. Walsh.
In addition to inspecting buildings
and helping to enforce the new code,
the county firemen probably will be
asked to undertake a program of
instruction for the public in an
effort to still further promote fire
safety.
The program has been heartily
endorsed by Governor O'Conor and
President Karl Young of the Mary
land State Firemen's Association,
and is expected to receive consid-
GRAFTON at the annual State Fire
mems Convention next month in

County Plans
Campaign Against
Japanese Beetle
Commissioners Name Eight
County Boys To Do Work
Other Business Cleared

A concerted campaign against the
Japanese Beetle, something the Mont
gomery County Farm Bureau and ag-
ricultural leaders in the county have
been striving for for many years, was
voted by the board of county commits
sioners Tuesday.
At their weekly meeting in Rock
vile the commissioners voted to en-
ploy eight high school boys to join in
campaign of determination against
the devastating beetle which now is
infesting certain portions of the SUI
burban county and is threatening to
encroach on the upper county.
Named by the county board to do
the work were Howard Schropp,
Rockville; Joseph C. Freeman, Gath
ersburg; Thomas NARROW, Falkland;
Theodore Beall, Chevy Chase; ]. Bond
Smith, Jr., Takoma Park; Francis
Day, Jr., Ashton; Rodman Day, Beth
esda; and Daniel Wells, Glen Echo.
The boys will work under direct
supervision of Otto w. Anderson,
county farm agent, and will have the
job of making daily visits to 5000
beetle traps. Their compensation of
S3.04 per day will be met jointly by
the county, State and Federal govern
ments. The county voted to spend up
to $1,000 on the anti-beetle campaign.
The board ratified appointment by
Governor O'Conor of Lacy Shaw,
Richard F. Green and James B. Fitz-
gerald to the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, and vots.l to transfer Frederick
w. Page from the Rockville liquor
dispensary to the position Of clerk TO
the Bethesda Police Court. Worthing-
ton Griffith was moved from the
county treasurer's Office to the dis
pensary in Mr.. Pages former post.
Bids for the purchase of motor
cycles for county policemen were held
up after complaint was received that
the advertisement for bids was so
worked as to make is possible for
only one dealer to qualify. The adver-
tisement was referred to counsel to
the board for study and report.
