In The Looking Glass

Most of the cotton belt at one time or another has
looked about for some convenient goat on which to
hang the blame for cottons deplorable condition. Bit
terly has blame been piled on the civil war and the war
in China, high tariffs and high taxes, the boil weevl and
the dictators, Washington and the weather.
Yet during National Cotton Week it may be well
for the cotton belt to look into a place it has neglected.
its household mirror. There is will find a very unusual
figure, one who is both partially responsible for the
present condition of cotton, and the only one who has
the power to bring about c%otton's recovery.
The story of what others have done to cotton is
tragic; but the story of what the cotton belt has done
to it, and what it has not done for ii, is both tragic and
inexcusable. Those to whom cotton means most have
not bothered to be loyal to it's use.
National Cotton Week offers the opportunity of
the year for active and effective support of the agricul-
tural product on which twenty-five million Americans
depend for all or part of their income. In sponsoring
it the National Cotton Council and other agencies have
not asked for sacrifices or inconvenience in behalf of a
public cause. Rather have they asked the people of
the cotton belt to invest their money in modern merchan-
disc offering full returns in style, smartness and service
ability. The task the logical maintenance of an Ameri-
can market for one of Americas greatest crops-a crop
whose products give to every purchaser a little more
than his moneys worth.

Extras Stampede,
Lau6htOn Is Calm

A huge trained bear and a dish
of ice cream recently combined to
cause brief panic among several
hundred extras on the San Fernando
Valley location of R-K-O Radios
"Hunchback of Notre Dame" And
it was the calm voice of Charles
Laughton over the public address
system which stopped the stampede
before serious injuries resulted.
The bear, used in festival scenes
OF 18th century Paris. was eating
ice cream during a mob scene when
his cage was tipped over by the
milling crowd. Freed by the acci-
dent, excited by the noise and peo-
pie, the bear lunged about, his Jaws
dripping ice cream. Seeing his white
flecked jaws, the crowd thought the
animal had gone mad, stampeded
as the trainer sought to fight his
way through the throng to get to
his bear.
Quickly grasping the microphone,
Laughton spoke evenly over the
public address system: Stand still,
please. The bear won't harm you
that's ice cream on his face. Stand
still and the trainer will tie him up"
