TANKS IN MOVIES

Another special motion pic
ture, showing how America is
swinging into her about war
stride. will be on the screen of
your favorite movie theatre very
soon. This picture is entitled
tanks" Orson Welles does a
masterful job in speaking the
commentary. The film shows
how the NIB tank is produced
and what it looks like when it
is ready for action. The produc-
ton shots were made at the
Chrysler plant near Detroit, the
testing shots at Fort Knox, KY,
and the shots showing shipment
to a scene of war action were
made at an u~ndisclosed port.
The new film has all the tech
nical perfection and dramatic
effect of the first of a series
which was entitled Bomber"

about 1t is that even after your baby
outgrows his swaddling clothes, you
can still adapt the same technique
to your picture-making without the
slightest difficulty. Just turn it into
a game. II the y%oungster is old
enough to be playing with building
blocks, talk to him about it for
awhile. You might suggest a minor
Improvement here or there. Then,
when he's really engrossed in his
game-quietly step back and make
your pictures.
AS for the t~echnicalities Of max.
ing baby pictures outdoors. there
are just three things to check on
focus, exposure. and background. II
you own a box or other type Of
ixed-focus camera, don't get any
closer to your subject than about
six feet-unless you place a portrait
attachment over your lens. With
this inexpensive accessory you can
work as close as three or four feet,
but if you plan to have your best
pictures enlarged. that won't be
necessary. Your photofnisher can
enlarge any section of the negative,
and eliminate from the finished
print all distracting or unnecessary
surroundings.
AS for background. keep it simple
"a plain wall or just the sky is
best, and you'll have no trouble
making top-notch baby pictures.

1912 FARM

Here's the way the 1912 pro-
gram for farm equipment has
been handled by the Office of
Production Management's prior
tiles division and what it means
to farmers of the Northwest.
The basic problem was to
mesh this program with the De-
partment of Agriculture's pro-
gram for food; to provide more
machinery where it will be
needed and to curtail produc-
ton where - as with wheat -
the agricultural plan calls for
smaller crops.
It's obvious that since farm
equipment is manufactured en-
tirely of materials vital to the
armed forces - the kinship be-
tween tank and tractor is ap-
parent - the problem had to be
considered cautiously. Many CT
william plants must be converted
to war work.
OPM has held down on ma
terials for new machinery to
about SO per cent of the 1910.
level while raising the quantity
earmarked for repair parts
manufacture to approximately
$50 per cent of the 1910 output.
Here's how it works: The agri-,
cultural program, for example,
calls for increased production of
pork and lard, milk and eggs,;
in 1912. And so new machinery
used to produce these foodstuffs
will be available in greater
quantity than machinery for
raising and harvesting wheat,
because the agricultural plan
calls for a 16 per cent reduce
ton in wheat acreage. = ,

TIRES AND A WORK

The tire rationing program is
another example of the govern
ment's effort to keep essential
services functioning under con-
ditions of all-out war. The Jap
anese took away the tires from
our pleasure cars when they
blocked our Pacific import lanes.
But that isn't going to hamper
farm work in the Northwest.
You can still get tires for farm
vehicles - if you really, need
them. Other needs essential to
the public health and welfare

TO saWdusti and from wood to fright WIGS
Movies in England are being produced on
a shoestrng so slender it breaks and must
be mended a dozen times day
II a script calls for a young and hand
actor and what script does not +? -
then the producing company must ask the
government for permission TO borrow David
Niven from the Army Richard Greene from
the mechanical division Of the 9th Lancers;
Rex Harrison from the RAF; Laurence
Olivier from the Fleet Air Arm; Able Sea
Robert Newton from the Navy; Ralph
Richardson from the Fleet Air Arm; Hugh
Williams from the Army: Roland Culver from
the Navy and so on down the list
All of Englands young actors are in the
armed services. The mere casting Of a
picture presents a stupendous problem and
much dickering between the companies and
the British authorities.
Mob scenes in the old. lavish sense are
wholly out of the question for two reasons:
First, the acute shortage of manpower, and
second. the impossibility of clothing mob
scene in nation in which CLOTH clothes and
material strictly ratoned.
An actor without his makeup is like
lawyer without his precedents or doctor
without his pills. And makeup is so diff
cult to obtain in England that in many studios
ii is a major problem.
Wood is so very scarce that every scrap
must be carefully preserved Old sets must
be taken apart, and every piece of wood and
every precious nail saved for future use.
Steel is impossible to buy. II a producing
/, company must have new steel, it must bor-
row the steel. as it borrows its heroes from
the government service. Both the heroes
and the steel must be returned TO the gov
eminent when a picture is completed.
Add to all the other shortages an acute
shortage of floor or studio space. since the
government has taken over many Of the
largest studios or storage and other purposes.
OF the $500 expert technicans who formerly
manned the English cinema industry. no
more than 700 remain today The rest are
in government service.
