censorship boards regard bed as
a comfortable piece OF furniture.
In others it is a hideous monster
with all kinds of implications lurk-
ing under its covers. Some censors
object to seeing lady and gentle
man in the same bed, even if they
have been married for so years.
So there is censorship rule that
the gentleman must keep one foot
on the floor. This has worked pretty
well up to now, although it is fast
making contortionists out of gents
like Walter Pidgeon and Enrol
Flynn.
There are all kinds of kisses, but
it is generally agreed that anything
over 30 seconds is necking. And
ordinary screen kisses under an an
ciet Massachusetts state censorship
law can be only half as long on
Sunday as on week days.
Film censors are about as con-
siStent as politicians. For years
they have been approving photo
graphs of Dorothy Lamour in her
scanty eight-ounce Sarong. But re-
, Gently they banned as indecent
three photographs of Dottie in mod
ern shorts.
Writing a scene for Hcdy Lamar
in new film, a script writer COM
mented: MISS Lamar enters the
room wearing a negligee. The neg
ligee is stunning-as stunning as the
censors will permit"
Feminine scanties take on un-
lookedfor meanings in the eyes of
the cenSors. Set dressers hung a
pair of lace pantieS on a rooftop
clothesline for a scene in a movie
but the censors ordered them re-
placed with pair of stockings.
And speaking of stockings, a
studio wanted to dress a line of
chorus girls with black silk stock
ings on one leg, none on the other.
The cenSors screamed Two bare
legs were all right. Two legs with
stockings were all right. But one
of each-never Well never forget,
either, little whim of the censors
which left a small native boy in the
picture Hurricane" standing in
white belted swimming trunks after
the wind whipped away his Sarong.
Once a censor objected to some
photographs of Betty Hutton. You
can't get away with those night
gown pictures" he said. They're
impossible"
That's no nightgown," argued the
studio. Its the fastest thing in eve
ming gowns"
oh" replied the deflated GEN.
sor, then I guess it's all right"
One of M-G-Ms educational short
subjects, THE Courtship of a
Newt" caused as much trouble in
celluloid censorship circles as Betty
CRADLES negligees.
A newt, you probably know, is
just fancy name for salamander.
Well, the short was titled, THE
Love Lie of a Newt" This sent
the censors into mild Mysteries, SO
the studio changed it to Court
ship"
All went we'll until the short was
shown to the Ohio state censorship
board. The board passed the film
except for this bit of whimSy by
the narrator: The courting season
of the newt opens on the 10th of
March and extends on through the
following February, leaving about
10 days of general overhauling and
redecorating."

Purchase of Auto
Use Stamps Tagging
Oakland Postoffice Has Sold 465
Stamps Thus Far

The sale of auto use tax stamps is
tagging in Oakland and the County
as we'll as in all other parts of the
state
The Oakland postoffice reported a
sale of 465 stamps late yesterday
afternoon. |. R. Rudy postmaster,
said other postoffices in the county
also had the stamps for sale. After
July the Oakland office will still have
the $500 stamps for sale, but motor
lists who do not expect to operate
their cars all year may purchase
monthly stamps at the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue office, postoffice
building, Cumberland.
Motorists are required by federal
law to have the use tax stamp on the
windshield. Enforcement is in the
hands of the Internal Revenue bureau.
City and state police have not con-
Cerned themselves about enforcement.
The old stamp became invalid June 80.
Many motorists have resented the
imposition of the tax since they are
restricted on the use of gasoline, and
have failed to purchase the sticker,
not only this year but in the past two
years that the law has been in effect.
The Cumberland office announced
that while no instructions had been
received it was expected that deputy
collectors would begin their annual
inspection and checking of cars in the
area within . short time. A person
caught driving car not bearing the
stamp is liable to . $25O0 fine or
thirty days Imprisonment or both.
The L. S, District Attorneys office
in Baltimore indicated it would not
prosecute Maryland motorists who
fail to buy the stamps, according to a
news item in the Baltimore Sunday
Sun.
1t was stated that at least 100000
Maryland motorists have failed tc
purchase the stamp. There are over
500 registered vehicles in Garrett
county.
