reflected in these letters. The
joys. woes, defeats and triumphs
of the world and its people find
expression there. And, like the
trickling heartbeats of the popu-
lace, these letters carry COM
passion, hate, high ideals and

survey was for publication. "Sure," he
answered. "the boys In the service are our
most important audiences today. Pictures
never had higher mission than building
morale for those young men,"
In the order named, the lie Baron poll
reveals that musicals, comedies and high adj
venture yarns have the greatest appeal for the
lads engaged in fighting for their country.
"Amusingly enough" smiled Bill, movies
about the army, the navy or the marines are
acceptable-but the boys seem to have sort
of tOngue-in-the-cheeN attitude about them
They love to spot technical mistakes-which
hand them a big laugh.

Recorded in Films

In World War I, photographic records were only a few news reel clips.
 But in World War II, signal corps camarmen all over the world are recording in still and in motion pictures the story of the war Actual combat, installa- tons, living conditions are all going down on film.
 First the films are sent 10 the chief signal officer and his staff for review by the war depart ment. Then they are edited, so that military information will by no chance fall into the hands of Inc enemy.
 And then the films are passed on for training of the fighting men who must some day go to the same theatres of operations. The films may eventually be re- leased in part for public con sumption. From them some day will come a pictorial history book, the greatest photographic story of war ever made, the great est document of American cou- rage.

 And they will picture what Colonel Zanuck and the men of the armed forces and the people of the little English island, and China. and all besieged countries already know, but what some of the rest of us may not realize.
 That other war;" says Col Onel Zanuck, who as a boy of sixteen was overseas with the in- fantry, was fought in one place and you left it, and came back to it. But this war is everywhere. It's grim and it's bitter and there are no bands marching to the front. And the boys up there in the Aleutians are fighting the worst part of it."
 In June Col. Zanuck was in England, organizing photograph ic crews for the Signal Corps, of which he is chief of the field photographic staff.
 He was assigned to the Com mando operations as a military observer.
