New ST. Croix deer law

ANNE#sE5
Last week I signed into law
a bill passed by the Municipal
Council Of ST. Croix for the
preservation Of and the con-
troll of taking of wild deer.
This is certainly a commend
able step taken by the legisla-
ture of ST. Croix. Although a
few amendments are needed
which I shall present to the
Council, I believe that the law
fills a long felt need for the
preservation of d e on
st. Croix.
The law provides that no
person shall engage in captur-
ing Or hunting deer in ST.
Croix without first having a
hunters license and that no
person shall be permitted a
hunters license unless regis
tered as licensed to own q
shoulder frearm. Hunting or.
capturing deer before sunrise
or after sunset is strictly pro-
hibited. The use of wire or
other traps to ensnare deer is
also prohibited. Each l~icensee
shall be permitted to take
three deer per season and inn
mediate report of each deer
taken must be filed.
No deer may be taken dur

Gary Cooper as its star. It is also
done up appropriately in color
and this combination, together
with a sound basic story, makes
it moderately appealing. In spite

a dramatic one.
It is a curious thing about
"Springf1eld Rifle" however. that
there apparently was not enough
about it to make a full-length fea-

Haas should speak sharply to Di-
rector Haas for not demanding a
better Screenplay of Writer Haas.
This one isn't a match for his
earlier "The Girl on the Bridge" :"
a moody melodrama which did

Strange Fascination" is just
moody melodrama. It is a Haas
variation on a theme by Vaughan

theme which seems to have
strange fascination for Haas.

Well, this blond baggage
wanders around his apartment for
several days oozing sex in several

gets the idea that he is not too
old for her after all. He even goes
so far as to marry her. which
turns out to be a mistake for both
of them.
Instead of bringing on connubial
blist this marriage seems to bring
on a flood which puts an end to a
concert tour and causes every one
to refuse to hire the pianist. With
their combined talents, they
should have made a fortune, but
they don't.

jacker set. It is an unhappy as
well as dangerous process in that
it costs him not only his most
cherished friendships but even the
love and loyalty of his wife.
Naturally, it is all Strengthened
out in the end in climactic bat
tie In which the breech-loading
Springfield replaces the old
muzzle-loader gun and assures
victory to the Union forces.
1t is pretty complicated plot
that Director Andre DeToth deals
with in Springfield Rifle" and
he is required to be over-painstak-
ing with certain areas of it.
Fortunately, however. he can
keep his camera concentrated on
Cooper as the hero and the latter
can be counted upon to reduce the
dull moments to a plausible mini
mum. On the assumption that it
probably will be a mans picture,
DeToth has filled Springfield
Rifle" with a number Of stormy
hand-to-hand battles between the
hero and a collection of villains.
He has seen to it also that the
gun duels between the horse
buying forces are on a proportion
ately larger and more spectacular
scale. Some of Hollywood's most
talented horses and trickiest riders
participate in these sequences and
they are invariably easy to watch.
"Springfield Rifle" is not quite
brave enough to dispense alto
gether with love interest. It limits
it, however. to a. few scenes be-
tween Cooper and Phyllis Thaxter
as man and wife estranged by the
quirks OF war. Miss Thaxter is a
pleasant girl to have around under
such circumstances.
Pictorially. Springfield Rifle" is
a pretty impressive affair with its
snow-covered mountain passes and
its ferociously sunburned valleys.

HOLLYWOOD R-What'S gone
wrong with Hollywood'S glamor?
Ricardo Montalban thinks he

Il think both extremes are bad
for Hollywood. There is nothing
exciting about sin; it is ugly anC
offensive to decent people. But il
is also bad to make movie stars
