Ann has been featured As a

MINOR REVOLUTION

There are those among us who fear that our Rus sian ally means to change the face and political structure of postwar Flu rope. It may comfort these fearful ones to learn of some changes that the Rus sians have begun at home.
 Several recaptured cities in the Ukraine have been given new names. Tarno- pol, for instance, has been changed to Ternopol. And Czertkow (pronounced Cherkov) has become Chortkov (pronounced Chortkov).
 The revolution may be under way. But it certain is proceeding in low gear. ---(Anchorage Times).

cause one Of the Quislings in this
story of the heroic Norwegian un-

insulting some patriotic Norwegian

Watch That Brand.
Mentioning brand names is also
ticklish business. Sample of the
dangerous ground on which the
studios tread in this respect when
any particular type OF article is
mentioned on the screen is afforded
by the protests repeatedly lodged
with the Motion Picture Producers
Association by an association of
bourbon whisky distillers. They
were aggrieved because, they said,

in accordance with the script In
variably asked for Scotch and
soda"
Telephone numbers were a source
Of grief for the producers almost as
prolific as names until they licked
that problem, too.
Suppose Jack Carson in Make
Your Own Bed" is required by the
script to telephone to Jane Wyman
and the number must be mentioned
In the dialogue Invariably some
persons in the audience will make a
mental note Of that number, even
jot it down, then call it after leav-
ing the theater. That has hap
pened many times. just to see who
answers, presumably.
So the telephone numbers used
nowadays generally are either test
numbers, which when rung re-
turn the ringer only a wailing
"Annnnnn-nh," or the number of
the producing company's exchange

locale.
