ROTAR|ANS SEE WATCH
MANDATORY IN FILM

The story of the land of Lilli-
put, where little things make a
big difference, was told by mo-
ton pictures Tuesday noon at
the weekly luncheon meeting Of
the Laurel Rotary club. 1t was
exhibited by Harold I~sachsen,
program committeeman, and was
entitled "What Makes a Fine
Watch Fine?" Portrayed was a
step by step tour of the plant of
Hamilton Watch company, Lam
caster, Pa.
Included in the shots were
some ancient timepieces, among
which was the company's first
watch sold. Others were of
models that never got beyond the
experimental stage. Three points
were stressed as of prime i'm
portance in watch mandatory
as in other businesses; (1) care
fully selected, trained and pains
taking personnel; (2) n~ever-ceas-
ing investigation in science, with
accompanying development of
tools, methods and materials, and
(3) sustained cultivation of us
tcmer-confidence.
Many of the intricate machines
producing minute and accurate
parts e interesting to the Ro-
tarians.
Isachsen at conclusion of the
picture told of recent develop
ments in which atomic energy is
used to keep experimental time
in almost perfect time.

are more cops come out Of Public School 81
than any other school in town."
Ten minutes later Mr.. Washers chauffeur
parks the big car across the street from the
school, which is neat three-story building
with large playground adjoining.
Mr. Vlasker gets out of the car. He PAGES
the sidewalk, frowning and glowering at old
PS. 81 as though it has played him dirty
trick.
1T should be sordid and ugly" he says
reproachfully. 1T should be a stone tomb
sandwiched between rows of tenements. We
must feel these undernourished youngsters
are imprisoned in its dank and gloomy depths"
and he looks more unhappy than ever
These kids amt 50 undernourished, Dan
says. They get good hot lunch right here
at school"
Most unfortunate" says Mr.. Vlasker,
shaking his head bitterly. Just look at those
children romping in the playground! -. Too
clean. Much too Clean"
I'VE could dirty them up bit" suggests
Kitty
There shouldn't be any playground says
Mr. Vasker sadly. The kids should be run

waves his cigarette holder in the air and
strikes pose. 1t will be filmed here in your
own city!' he cries. 1T is the new trend of
the cinema. There must be authentic back
grounds, authentic characters. The artiici-
alities of Hollywood must go!' And with this
he collapses into chair and goes into kind
of trance.
IL AM assigning you to Mr.. Vlasker to be
his technical adviser" the Commissioner now
tells Dan. ''You will stay with him and see
that he finds the proper locations and appro-
pirate types for his picture"
Realism" whispers MIR. Vlasker hoarsely,
without coming out of his trance. Com
plete, spontaneous, stark!'
"Well," Dan tells them, 1--WE never been
further than twenty-five miles from Head
quarters downtown. know this town inside
out guess can steer Mr.. Vlasker straight"
I'VE will start in few days." says Mr..
Vlasker, coming back to the world. I'VE will
build monumental epic to honor that un-
sung hero - the plain-clothes cop!"
Dams eyes are shining with excitement
when he finishes telling all this to Kitty.
Evening star., 1949-10-23

W7HEN Dan McGary, the plain-clothes
" cop, comes to see his mouse Kitty this
evening he has an important air about him.
Did you know" he says, with mysterious
smile and lift of his eyebrows, that am 60
ing to be the hero of movie? 1t will be the
real inside story of my life"
How inside will they get?" asks Kitty
anxiously. There are certain things -"
'Oh, it won't be about me personally"
Dan explains 1T will be documentary film
based on the life and trials of an ordinary,
hard-working, unappreciated plain-clothes
cop like me- He sinks into a chair and
chuckles happily. Il hear about it this after
noon when the Commissioner sends for me-"
The Commissioner sent for you? No,o
what have you done?"
THAT is the amazing part of it, says Dan.
For once the Commissioner seems glad to
see me. And he introduces me to Mr. Vlexir
Vlasker, of Hollywood, who is going to
make one of those documentary pictures"
Evening star., 1949-10-23

Who can tell what will come of it?"' he says
to her happily. MAYBE they will make more
cop movies after this one. Maybe they will
want me in Hollywood. Maybe -"
Il think Ill 60 with you to meet Mr..
Vlasker," Kitty breaks in. He may want to
see something authentic in the way of an
unsung hero's girl friend"
So she goes with Dan two days later to
Mr.. Washers hotel suite. Eve thought"
Dan says, after he introduces Kitty to him,
you might like to see the kind of mouse
typical cop goes for
MIR. VLAsKER comes forward and takes
Kitty's hand and pats it. "A very charming
little lady," he says. But not quite what
had in mind" At this point a handsome,
dark-eyed guy with mustache even wispier
than Mr. Washers comes into the room.
This is our star, Wayne Wister," Mr.. Vlasker
says. He will portray our heroic minion of
the law He will be the McGany four picture
Evening star., 1949-10-23

HE doesn't look
much like Dan, does
he?" says Kitty.
There amt many
cops that wear a fancy
brush on their lip like
that one," says Dan.
Mr.. Wister's eye
brows 60 up. my
mustache belongs to
my public" he states.
Mr.. Vlasker smiles
brightly at Dan. "And
now to work." he cries.
First l must find a
typical city school. The
opening sequence of
the picture will show
the boyhood life of our
hero"
That" Dan tells
him, "is easy. There

1--WE have pretty good garbage collec-
ton here in town." Dan tells him.
Mr.. Vlasker sighs heavily. "Ah. we'll! We
will have to build the set in Hollywood"
Next in the list of locations is the Police
Academy, where the rookie cops are trained.
Some of the big scenes of the movie are going
to be made here. Dan directs the chauffeur
to the South Side and they pull up in front
of an ancient stone building.
Mr. Vlasker looks at it and groans Il ex-
pected something new and shining and mod
ern," he says.
They haven't gotten around to building
new one yet" Dan explains
They 60 through the dingy old building
into the yard in back. where a whole class of
rookie cops is doing calisthenics. Mr.. Vlasker
scowls at them for long time.
'Is that all they do?" he asks finally.
They study out of books, too" Dan tells
him. The penal code, police organization
and procedure -"
But is that all they do for exercise?" in
terrupts Mr.. Vlasker disdainfully Just that
conventional squatting and stretching? No
tumbling? No double-somersaults?"
They're learning to be cops, not aero
bats" says Kitty.
Its not nearly colorful enough" sighs
Mr. Vasker. I'll 90 back to the hotel and
phone my studio. III have them sign up
couple of high-powered tumbling troupes."
DAN and Kitty ride home in the bus. They
don't talk for long time. Then Kitty pats
Dams hand and says. "You poor unsung hero!
Dan keeps looking out the window. Il read
genius, he says stiff1y
Kitty smiles wisely. I'm pretty sure now
l won't be losing you to Hollywood" -.
Mr. Vlasker is waiting for Dan at his hotel
the next morning. They have big day ahead
of them, he says because he has to pick out
locations for the romantic scenes According
to the script cop meets girl at the cops annual
outing, and they fall in love.
Dan chuckles as he hears this. That is a
great coincidence" he says, because it is at
the annual outing when am a rookie cop
that fall in love with Kitty. I will show you
the exact spot in Highlands Park"
Highlands Park is the local Coney Island
where the cops always hold their big mid
summer picnic, and it has the usual rides and
slides and wheels and picnic tables under
trees. Mr.. Vlasker does not speak as he strolls
down the midway with Dan.
Finally Dan stops him and points. 1T is
up there" he says, "on top of that Ferris
wheel that kiss my Kitty for the first time"
1T has to be in canoe, says MIR. Vlasker
sharply.
There's no lake around here Just SWIM
ming pool, and canoe would look sort of
funny in -"
"A canoe, repeats Mr.. Vlasker. "A placid
pond in some sylvan grove. know just the
spot in the San Fernando Valley"
Evening star., 1949-10-23

Dan travels around town with Mr.. Vlasker
for week before he reports back to Kitty.
And when he sees her he acts more important
than ever and his smile is still mysterious.
1T turns out you are not so smart after all, )"
he says mr. Vlasker wants me to ask for
leave of absence so can be his technical
adviser when he goes to Hollywood
HE was supposed to make the picture
here" Kitty reminds him.
He can't find much here that looks au-
thentic," Dan says. Police Headquarters is
not quite what he had in mind. His camera
men did take a few street scenes. And he
photographed the Mayor pinning some med
ais on cops in City Hall Plaza. But it wasn't
very good
1T WASN'T authentic, no doubt, says Kitty.
1T was the Mayors fault" Dan tells her
"He wasn't what Mr. Vlasker had in mind
He was much too small and Insignificant
looking Mr.. Vlasker wanted to shoot the
scene all over again with Ole Jonsen, the City
Hall janitor, playing the Mayor. Ole is just
the type for it, Mr. Vlasker said"
And maybe" says Kitty, His Honor
could have grabbed broom and played the
janitor."
The Mayor got little sore and walked
out on us when Mr.. Vlasker suggested that"
says Dan. But anyway we will film the big
climax of the movie here in Liberty Square
in front of the Public Library. OF course, it's
supposed to be the City Hall, but Mr.. Vlasker
thinks the Public Library looks more like the
City Hail. and the City Hall looks more like
the Public Library"
This want to see, says Kitty. ''When?"
Saturday at noon," says Dan. I'VE will
have six cameras hidden around the Square
in trucks and doorways."
And what will this stupendous climax
consist Off" asks Kitty.
THAT" says Dan going mysterious all the
way, is great secret Mr.. Vlasker won't
even tell me, and l am now practically his
right hand. He says he wants complete spOn-
tanety. His cameras will record the scene
exactly as it unfolds in all its stark realism"
Dan smiles Importantly. Il will be in front
of the cigar store near the library with Mr..
Vlasker A camera will be concealed in
milk truck at the curb
LIBERTY SQUARE is near most of the city's
big department stores and it is busy place
on Saturday at noon. MIR. Vlasker, thor
oughly disguised in plain blue business suit,
is pacing back and forth nervously behind his
milk truck. He keeps looking at his watch.
Dan watches closely. Pretty soon he sees
smoke curling out of the library windows.
Fire." he yels, and starts forward.
Wait" orders Mr.. Vasker. They're
coming" And in another minute the fire
apparatus comes racing into the Square from
all sides Its at least half the fire depart
ment! cries Dan.
It'll be the whole of it soon." says Mr..
Vlasker Il sent in general alarm"
The apparatus is now filling the Square,
Evening star., 1949-10-23

Mr.. Vlasker, Dan
explains, is a bald
headed little guy with
a wisp of a mustache
who is wearing a pea
green sports jacket and
a yellow scarf tied tight
around his neck.
"McGarry," says the
Commissioner when
the introductions are
over, "Mr. Vlasker
needs help. He's about
to make a movie based
on our plain-clothes
police - how they're
selected and trained,
how they work and
live"

Income Tax Returns
Due Jan. IS

FARMERS MUST file federal in
come tax returns for 1948 by Jan.
Is, 1949, Thomas M. Robinson, col
lector of internal revenue for the
district of Montana, said.
Most other business and profess
sional men were required to file a
declaration of estimated tax for 1913
or form 1040ES by last March and
to pay their estimated tax in quar-
terly installments, the last payment
of which is due by Jan. Is, 1949.
Farmers, or those who expect to re-
ceive at least two-thirds of their in
come from farming operations, are
given the privilege of postponing
the filing of a declaration of esti-
mated tax until Jan. Is, 1949, but
they must then pay their estimated
tax in full.
The Jan. Is filing date should not
be confused with the March Is filing
date, Robinson said. March Is is
still the final date for filing a final
and complete return on form 1040.
Even though an estimated return is

It is believed that in some cases It
has been confused with symptoms
resembling infantile paralysis. The
results of this work indicate that
there has been some association with
the Newcastle virus and the disease
may o be classified as another
animal disease transmissible to man.
Up to the present time, we have
been fortunate in that the spread of
Newcastle disease in Montana has
not been as great as in eastern and
coastal states. We earnestly solicit
your cooperation in aiding in the
control of this disease and other dis
eases, as it is to your benefit as well
as to the future of the poultry in
dustry of Montana and the public
health.
