FRENCH INTOLERANCE
(Santa Monica Outlook)

(Santa Monica OUTLOOK
1t is deplorable though not surprising
that the Nazi-dominated government of
France has copied its overlords in hunt
ing scapegoats among prominent French
men of the Jewish race The decree which
this puppet government has issued, con-
fiscating the property of such Frenchmen
and declaring their citizenship forfeit,
on the grounds that they left France with
out reason after the national collapse, is
obviously designed to fan racial prejudice
among Frenchmen and to supply them
with the same kind of explanation for
their defeat which Hitler invented for
the German masses, to explain why Ger
many lost the World war.
If the explanation was grotesque in the
case Of Germany, it Is even worse Tor
France Thus the French decree charges:
at was found that a maj ority OF French
financial undertakings were owned by
Jews and therefore not serving France
alone. but international interests" One
wonders whether the French people, who
pride themselves on their logic, can be
deceived by this hokum.
When France fell, these members OF
the Jewish race naturally feared for what
would happen to them under Nazl rule.
Those who could, fled the country. For
this they are now being punished and re-
viled by the puppet government at Vlchy.
Thus their fears are proved to have been
justified.
1t is another demonstration, which we
in America should heed, of what tri-
umphant Nazism means to the world. Not
content to subjugate the countries they
overcome, the Nazis must destroy their
civilization and infect them with the
poison of race fanaticism, vengefulness
and intolerance.

DRAMA VS.. DON'T
Riverside Press)

A symposium of members of the
American Medical association recon-
mends that health education IN schools
be dramatized so that children will take
a genuine interest in keeping themselves
we'll.
Children, as a rule, are delighted to
learn that their milk and their orange
Juice help to make strong bones and good
teeth. They take a keen interest IN the
pump" which speeds the blood thru
their bodies and the heating system
which keeps them warm even when they
play out in the snow, or play on skates
at the ice gardens.
The idea of getting every germ off
hands and face before eating is quite eX-
citing, and makes thorough wash-up be-
fore meals an important piece of business
much more interesting than cleanliness
alone.
Once the child realizes that different
foods serve different purposes in making
him grow and keep we'll, he's quite likely
to eat happily while he discusses the
muscles he expects to develop for tree
climbing bike riding, and so on. Better
to teach the youngster the good that will
come from eating certain foods, rather
than worry him with the thought that
if he doesn't eat other foods he will SUI
fer. The word don't" gets rather monot-
onous when used too frequently:
Such decentralization" can be done at
home where parents are we'll informed
and interested in the method. Some OF 1t
certainly must be done in the schools.
But in neither place does it need to be a
formal burdensome process. The word
"dramatize" connotes plays and costumes
and properties. These Celebrations are
not necessary.

HERE'S A PROJECT
FOR SOMEBODY

Possibly it's the shattering roar and
bark of premature firecrackers that sets
off the idea, and possibly it is the increas-
ing number of "Don'ts" and You Can'ts"
imposed on the younger half of the
younger generation these days when the
Fourth of July comes around.
Anyway, why doesn't someone or some
organization, set up a supervised fire
works project" for Imperial Valleys
youngsters on the Fourth?
One reason sticks out like a sore thumb,
OF course. Whoever sponsored such pro-
Ject would be in critical danger of incur
ring the wrath of mothers and dads in
case little Johnnie scorched a couple of
fingers So, unless mothers and dads
came along, it would have to be fixed up
so the youngsters didn't handle any of
the fireworks.
There is, however, potentially worth
while project here.
AT Christmas time there are several
organizations which give Christmas par
ties for the youngsters whose parents
cannot afford their own. 1t is the same
at Easter Why should the Fourth of
July be an exception? After all, the
Fourth is just as dear to juvenile hearts,
in its own poisy way, as are Christmas
and Easter. And the thing it celebrates
is just as holy: it is freedom.
A fireworks display for the entertain
ment of the youngsters (and their par
ents too) would not have to be one of the
expensive kind. 1t could consist merely of
the usual skyrockets, roman candles, pin
wheels, and what-have-yous. 1t could be
held far out on the desert, where nothing
but the peace of the lizards would be en-
dangered. Bus transportation could be
provided for the youngsters unable to
get there under their own or their par
elts' power. Supervision could be arrang-
ed to keep the spectators back of given
line, or away from the danger area. And
each youngster could know that the whole
shooting match was his to watch and en-
JOY. None of them would have to envy the
more fortunate child, with his excess of
fireworks.
1t takes so little to please the youngs-
ters, and their pleasure is so big if only
we will take the trouble to try.

LOOKING FORWARD

Next Fall is going to be the busiest
season Imperial Valley has enjoyed for
many years.
This" you may say, "is one heck of
time to be thinking about next Fall"
But it isn't. For the merchant, the
trAdesman, the business man in any line,
even for the laborer whose livelihood de-
pends upon what happens to the eco
nDmic structure, this is the time to begin
thinking of next Fall.
Business right now is better than it has
been for years in most Imperial Valley
firms Wherever you look, encouraging re-
ports come to hand. Everybody from
bankers and realtors to grocers is doing
a bigger business than for many years.
And every indication is that it will be
bigger yet in the Fall.
The man who realizes that fact, and
prepares now to take advantage of it, is
the man who will get a major share of
the business when Fall does come. The
fellow who waits until then to do his plan
ming will come out on the short end.
So-there's more than idle chatter in
the observation!
Business will be better than ever in the
Fall

HOLLYWOOD. June 27 The
evacuation of the B. E. F. from
Dunkirk was feat SO difficult and
gallantly accomplished that it will
live forever in the history of En-
pire arms, but for Hollywood ma
gicians 1t was just a routine, one
day job.
OF course it took considerable
preliminary planning and building.
A sand beach had been installed
along one side OF 2Oth-Fox's huge
outdoor tank and some building
fronts constructed for the back
ground. One of the ships in the
tank was converted into a fishing
tlawler, and a few small boats
were brought in. Then Lou Witte,
the studios specialist in blasts
and battles went TO work.
He planted bombs under the
sand set up smoke and wind ma
chimes, and laid network of large
hoses, held down by sandbags, un-
der the waters surface. When
compressed air was Shot into
hose, roaring gyser Oh water rose
so or more feet from the surface
OF the tank as if G bomb mad
fallen there.
FLAIN TO SEE
A stranger in Hollywood would be
utterly bewildered by a big outdoor
action scene of this sort because
human eyes take in the artificial
tiles along with the realism of the
whole panorama. On a raft float
ing near the beach were mounted
compressed air wave machines. AT
one side were moored two ships
which obviously didn't belong with
"A Yank in the RAF'. Smoke and
wind apparatus was placed where
you'd think 1t would be visible.
Movie cameras don't see 1t that
way, of course. The area covered
by every shot was precisely cal
culated in advance. AS for the I'M
naturel backgrounds, smoke will OBJ
scure part of them ana some will be
masked out on the film. Sky, sea
and low-flying airplanes will be
put in later

water and floundered across the
tank.
Everything was very orderly. Past
a wrecked German airplane, a
burning truck, field guns, shell
holes, ammunition cases, the SOL
diers moved briskly but not in
panic. They had to move in pre-
else patterns because Lou Witte
at MS switchboard was setting Off
wired charges Of black powder be-
tween the groups of men. These
simulated explosions of German
shells and bombs, while in the
water terrifying columns of wa
ter spouted among the wading
soldiers.
no CASUALTIES
On the first attempt at one Of
the most spectacular scenes, only
three CT four of the land mines
We're explooed, but there was too
much noise and too large field
of action Tor the thing to be stop
ped. Production officials were in a
frenzy as they stormed over to
Whites switchboard. He said he
was sorry, but smoke had obstruct-
ed his view aud lie couldn't be
sure that some OF the actors
wouldn't be injured. No matter u
him that a couple of thousand
dollars haG been wasted he wasn't
going to hurt anyone.
The retreat from Dunkirk is the
dramatic TO "A Yank in the RAF
as it was made possible by Britain's
control of the air with the help
of Tyrone Power as the Yank). But
this and other modern war movies
arc inclined to show the blood
and horror Of combat more through
flashes and impressions than by
closeup shots Of death and fury.
