Local Jewish
Women Form
Toy Loan Bureau

Something new in charitable &C
tivities for Jacksonville started
Monday of this week.
A toy lending bureau for chill
dren, sponsored by the Jackson
vile section of the National Coun-
Gil of Jewish Women, opened Mon
day morning in the Central Gram
mar school, Liberty and Church
Streets.
All sorts of toys, besides ath-
letic paraphernalia, bicycles and
scooters, for girls and boys be-
tween the ages of six and ii years
were available.
The plan of operating is SINH
lar to a book lending library. A
toy will be loaned for a five-day
period. The only request made is
that the toy be returned within the
time limit and that it is in the
same condition as it was when re-
ceived.
The plan has been successful
in number of cities, including
Los Angeles, where eight bur-
eaus are located, and in Philadel-
phia, which has five.
There is no reason why it will
not be successful in Jacksonville. f."
Mrs. Stanley Harris, president of
the Jacksonville section, declared.

De Mile, like Mahomet, cannot
come to the mountain, so the noun
tain comes to him.
But in this instance the noun
tain-moving, the biggest trucking
job ever shouldered by Hollywood,
cost $4,000 for the transportation
and placement of 300 pine trees
alone. Three days of shooting for
the Cecil B. De Mile extravaganza,
North West Mounted Police" cost
around $l25,000.
De Mile needed a Saskatchewan
mountain as Canadian background
for an Indian war. He planned to
shoot the scenes in a forest near
Pendleton, Oreg., but he was con-
vinced a homemade mountain would
be $4,000 less expensive.
On a 6-acre lot were strewn hun
dreds of tons of earth, so put that
1t would support running horses and
score OF Indians.
The pine trees. ranging up to 100
feet, were trucked in 100 miles. They
were planted" thickly throughout
the acreage, some of them on top
OF sound stages and few high on
a water tank to give a soaring,
mountainous perspective.
Five hundred Indians bedecked
the set-250 of them provided by
the Central Casting Bureau and
the others imported from reserva-
tions in California and Arizona.

OPINION
 POLLS DUBIOUS
No FOregOne Conclusions to Be Drawn By Results
 Warns Fortune Mag.

New York, Oct. II = The results of any survey or poll of public opinion indicate only the trend of political sentiment at the time the poll was taken and should not be accepted as flat prediction of what the outcome of the November election will be, Eric Hodgins, pulp fisher of Fortune magazine, declared today after receiving a report on a special sampling of opinion early this month.
 Although the results of this spe- cial sampling will not appear in Fortune, since a still later Fortune Survey will be completed next week for publication in the November is- sue of the magazine ten days before the election, Hodgins pointed out that "the use of present figures to forecast the possible lineup of Elec- toral College votes can only be characterized as a fascinating but highly hazardous game"
 No Foregone Conclusions
 Public opinion polls will be doing diSService to themselves and to the very democratic process itself if they permit their periodic soundings to be misinterpreted by the public as an indication of foregone conclu- sions," Hodgins stated. "The polls, when properly and conscientiously conducted, are valuable, not for the static figures presented as of any one moment but for their ability to show the dynamic trends.
 Tt is possible to combine and re- combine the statistics now in our possession so that MT. Willkie could receive any number of electoral votes from the eight which MT. Lan- don received in 1886 up to BPS which MT. Willkie could receive if he holds all his present ground and is in each case victorious in parts of the coun- try where the contest between the candidates is extremely close.
 "The latest figures available show MT. Willkie leading by good mar gin throughout New England, the West North Central States and the Mountain states" Hodgins explain ed. Here is maximum of 126 cleo toral votes which it is possible for MT. Willkie to acquire.
 Tn two vital areas - the Middle Atlantic states and the East North Central States the contest is so close that the mechanism of the public opinion poll cannot at this time make an accurate prediction. In the Middle Atlantic States MT. Roosevelt is fractionally ahead of MT. Willkie in popular favor, where as in the East North Central states Mir Willkie is fractionally ahead of MT. Roosevelt.
 2O2 For WilIlsie
 Should MT. Willk,e hold his ground in the East North Central States and turn a slight disadvan- tage into a slight advantage in the Middle Atlantic States by November 5, he could acquire another POP votes.
 Thus the outcome of the cleo toral vote still rests in debatabIe areas" Hodgins pointed out. Public opinion is more fluid in this month and year than 1t has ever been since the technique of scientific sampling was adapted to the measurement of political attitudes"

BY DARRELL BERRIGAN United Press Staff Correspondent


 Bangkok, Thailand (Siam), Oc- taber II. = (UP) = United States Minister Hugh Grant has called the attention of the Thailand govern ment to American announcements on maintenance of the present sta- tus in connection with Thailand's territorial demand son French Indo- China, it was understood today.
 Siam was reported to have massed troops, tanks and planes in the Ubol and Pachinburi areas of the Indo- Chinese frontier, and newspapers reported that the French Far East ern fleet had massed off Kong Is- land in the Gulf of Siam, 25 miles from the nearest point on the Thai land cast.
 Public feeling was mounting against Indo-China. Workers called a giant demonstration for today at the foot of the monument to democ- racy, and special forces of police were detailed to protect the French legation quarter.
 More than 5000 uniformed mem bers of the Youth Movement paraded yesterday demanding firm atti- tude, and calling on the government to fight if necessary to obtain the territory 1t wants.
 Reliable informants said that the French minister here had advised the French government to accept Thailand's demand for ession of territory west of the Mekong River and that deputation of six was on the way here to negotiate.
 The Vichy government had re- jected three separate demands by the Thailand government.
 The council Of ms1;:syrs was still considering the third rejection. Ot. flclals insisted that the government did not intend to resort to force, but said that it nigh denounce the Tndo-C China -ThalIand non aggfes. sion pact unless h eamAndA were met.
