GRITTY on Allied shipping sched-

months after the Liberation be-
fore Paris began to see them
because of the critical shortage
of electricity. Even now Paris
slams can 60 to the pictures only
after $50 in the evening (When
the peak of the electrical loa>
has passed) three days a week,
afternoons and evenings week
ends-and not at all Tuesdays
and Thursdays.
Altogether, the film sector Of
the Allied Information Service
have brought 80 films to Paris.
OF these, three are Russian, II
British and the rest American.
The Russians selected straight
documentary pictures - "One
Day of War;" Defeat of the
Germans" "Leningrad Fights"
The majority of the British pic
lures are war films, too, which
is only natural, since the out
standing English films of the
past four years have been fsr-
tionalized documentaries like
I'm Which We Serve" "One OF
Our Aircraft is Missing" San
Demetrio London"
Each of Hollywood's five ma
jor companies has sent five
pictures to Paris. Here Comes

'Long-Silent French May Now
Boo BOche Villains in Movies
BY TOM WOLF
NEA Staff Correspondent

PARIS-Parlsians are stand
ing in line for hours in chilling
rain and all but fighting to see
their first English language
movies in four and a half years,
For an American movie thea
ter is the best place to get the
feeling of what life must have
been like during the occupation.
French reaction to the gaiety or
melodrama of Allied films is so
overwhelmingly responsive that
it writes the definite treatise on
the four and a half years of
drearinesS and fear that were life
in Paris during the occupation.
For example, / recently went
to see the British submarine epic,
I'VE Dive at Dawn" The pic
ture reaches a climax wnen
British submarine crew moWs
down a Nazi port garrison. The
adult French audience put on an
exhibition of Whistling, cheering
and hysterical laughter which
makes American kids reaction
to a Saturday afternoon serial
seem genteel and restrained. 1t
was the first time the French
had seen the Boche bite the
dust. The degrees of their ex-
element mirrOred the degree of
four and a half years of pent-up
hatred.

Mimi, is the hermit of the riv-
er-getting the name because he
spent most of the summer at a
cabin near Two Harbors, north
of Duluth, raising the berries.
Of his work, which has come to
the attention of the Minnesota
State University's farm experts,
Morrison says that any smart
woodsman with flair for grow
ing things can do what he has
done.
He believes a controlled blue
berry industry is in the offing
on a broad scale for northern
Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Mich
igan, the principal sources of
wild blueberries in the Middle
West.
In his report to the state con-
servation department, Morrison
said it took him 10 years of
thinking and working to force
a cash income out of his shack
and his few acres in the north
ern woods.
II refer to blueberries dug
from the woods and transplant
ed into specially prepared tracts
some two feet deep in rotten
wood, pine needles, leaf loan
and whatever else will insure
soil sour with the carbonic acid
of rotting vegetation, his report
stated.
On this theory Morrison
transplanted 1000 plants which
brought clusters of 80 10 40 ber-
ries and as many as 70.
Il spaded the ground first,
only as deep as the black soil
went" he explained. Then l
made floor of rotten wood over
which / spread black dirt. About
eight inches of well-broken-up
rotten wood followed, riches that
| salvaged from half-buried pine
stumps and logs. Then came an
overstuffed mattress of pine
needles to depth Of about
eight inches.
The plants / put in we're
from patches that had observed
for several years. They grew
berries larger than average.
Their flavor was notably rich"
Morrison requested that all
who find large wild blueberries
should mail them TO T. s. Weir,
hortculturist, University Farm,
ST. Paul.

Experiments of 10 Years
Enhance Burberry Crop

DULUTH, MINI. - U,D -
Northern cutover land which
used to be called useless will be
crowded with domestic blue
berries if the experiments of

become more widely adopted.

Pride and Prejudice" ABE
Lincoln in Illinois, Our Town."
Sergeant York" and Watch on
the Rhine" There are some top
notch musicals, too, which will
be especially appreciated, since
the French film industry made
no musicals during the occupa-
ton and no patriotic Frenchman
attended German films.
However, the list fails TO in
clude several Of Hollywood's
tops of the past four years. Most
conspicuously missing are THE
Great Dictator"-a seeming nat
ural for all liberated areas
and all Disney. Their absence
is the more inexplicable since
the Allied Information Service
requested both.
Oustandingly absent also are
such Academy Award winners
as/"Mrs. Miniver," so Green
was My Valley and "Rebec-
ca'-the obvious conclusion be-
ing that because the subject mat
ter of these was British, they
rated less highly than such run
of the mill films as Seven
SWeethearts," "Mr. and Mrs.
Smith," Il Married Witch"
and some others.
Good, bad or indifferent, how
ever, all the Allied Movies are
drawing packed houses of plea
starved Parisians.

All is not gold that glitters, (we didn't make that up) as the water works workers well know since uncovering a large stone, weighing about 50 pounds, while laying the pipe line. The stone was found about 8 feet under the ground and bright, glitter ing substance occupied the upper portion On further uncovering the brightly gleaming metal it turned out to be brass cap ce- mented into the boulder.
 It was only one of many markers deposited when the town site survey was made
 The same U s. General Land Office survey party made the original boundary survey of the Naval Air Base in 1940. A guard carrying an army rife led the way as it followed the heavily beaten bear tracks. A pack train brought supplies to the group every other day and a daily feat was climbing the high peaks sur rounding the base and setting up boundary markers,
 When it came to putting in the last corner marker Of the base, MT Williamson, chief of the party, and Bob Davenport, who has since seen active ser vice at Guadalcanal, suggested that a necktie of Olaf Halverson, party member and present high school principal, be tied on the marker. The suggestion was prompted by the fact that throughout the summer MT. Halverson had appeared for ! (continued on next page)
