Government to Curtail
Film for MOUie Industry

They're shooting 'en once or
maybe twice If somebody sneezes
The picture manufacturers in all
seriousness have been attempting
TO save film these many months
Many studio has eliminated lis
cops -and-robbers quickies. which Is
break for the customers that the
War Production Board never an
ticipated, and il is estimated that
Hollywood now is using one-third
less film than il did last year.
Actors are being forced to learn
their lines before the camera turns
and much time now is being spent
in rehearsals without film in the
magazines.
FEW PRINTS
Last year Hollywood consumed
about 250,000.000 (M) feet OF
film. Then the distributors made
prints of each movie, something
up TO $50 copies of a big picture,
for distribution 10 the theaters.
The distributors all have cut
down on the NUMBER OF prlntSi
which will make some pictures
late in reaching certain theaters.
BY the time they reach their final
runs some films probably will look
rainy. even during indoor scenes,
though the experts have devised
new methods of removing the dirt
which causes the rain effect.
Finally the boys have shortened
and in some cases eliminated the
trailer-so called because il is an
advertisement shown on the screen
a week or so before the picture
itself arrives. That also is a boon
the government didn't contem'
plate.
And If the army doesn't get all
the actors and if the sweater girls
don't get too busy selling bonds
il looks as if the movies are here
to stay.

AS any of his hosts of friends in
the community will confirm, he
possesses in an unusual degree three
invaluable qualities that all the
learning of an aged scholar and the
experience of lifetime cannot
supply. We refer to his integrity,
his Unborn sense of fairness, and his
even and democratic disposition. A
man who has these virtues will soon
develop all else that may be neces-
sary to fill with distinction the high
office of judge. For in these virtues
lies the guarantee of the stability
and success of the State: they COM
mand the confidence and trust of all
who come before the Courts that
fair and impartial hearing awaits.
The administration of justice is
always serious matter to the par
Elephants. Life, death, prosperity and
reputation are often at stake. The
people want from the tribunal,
which hears them, neither ostenta-
lions good fellowship nor a display
of technical cleverness; but rather
sincere, sympathetic attention to the
justice of their cause. The majesty
of the law is no mere phrase as long
as we have judges to uphold it.
And Albert Constable, in our |
opinion, has the character to up
hold it, He is in the prime of his man
hood, and without the prejudices of
age. He is kindly and discrete. He is
bound to his native community by
ties of blood affection and back
ground, his Father having been
Chief Judge of this Circuit. More
over, he is man who will grow in
stature as the opportunity for public
service presents itself.
We think he is the man for the
,fice.

HUNTERS URGED TO SAVE

During the present emergency,
the Federal Government is re-
questing that all hunters save the
butts Of shotgun shells and rifle
cartridges and when the wild water
fowl season comes in November to
save the down feathers of wild
geese and wild ducks; also save fats
from game animals including deer,
rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, and
oppossums.
Statee Game Warden E. Lee Lee
Compile has issued an appeal to all
local hunters to comply with the
above request. Turn over your saw
ings to the District Deputy Game
Warden of this county or the coun-
ty in which you hunt or send them
to the office of the State Game and
Inland Fish Commission, 514 Mum

will be sent to the proper authorities

they may be used to avantage.

THE CECIL RESIDENT JUDGEsHIP

We recommend to the voters AL
bert Constable for the office OF AS
sociate Judge from Cecil County
Our reason is not alone that the
Democrats decisively endorsed him in
the primary nor that prominent law
yers of the Cecil Bar, such as Omar
D. Crothers, Jr., have given their
endorsement Our chief reason lies
in our belief that Mr. Constable pos
sesses the particular traits and back
ground from which a successful
judgeship is fashioned. We are think
ing above all of his integrity in
which there is no trace of narrow
ness or of self-righteousneess. We
are thinking also of his effective
combination of quiet dignity with
a democratic bearing that would fear
or favor no man beyond the bounds
of right and justice.
We are thinking above all OF his
natural sense of decency--that un-
taught virtue which instinctively
tells a man what is fair, what is
right, what is proper. 1t is not the
weight of years that make good
judge--it is character, founded on
adequate background.
We think Albert Constable has
exactly the character and stature
for the important Office for which he
is candidate.
