She Happens to

BY the Asseeiated Pres,
MOSCOW,

A young lady student at the
Government Movie Institute to-
day publicly charged Soviet
script writer's with underesti-
mating the power of love. "You
can't replace the theme of love
with the theme of industrial pro-
duction," she told the movie
writer's.
In a scathing article in Soviet
art, M. Shmarova, poked fun at
scripts that have heroes and
heroines saying this:
IF you fulfill the norm by
100 per cent, I shall love you"
when you become a stalk
honavite (pace-setting worker)
I will become your wife-if you
don't become one, look for an
other"
The student at the all union
state institute of cinematog-
raphy also said the theme of
requited love has also dropped
out of Soviet film art since World
War II. But" she added "It
hasn't disappeared from life,
and it's a matter of shame for
artists that this theme today
finds no reflection in our films"
Miss Shmarova added: 1--WE
must reproach our cinema art
because it completely ignores
such important aspects of life
as the establishment of a young
Soviet family. Why is love de-
picted only in the earliest stage.
only when the hero and heroine
are on the threshold Of expert
ence of life? Why are all the
heros of our films without chill
dren?"
The critic concluded that
Soviet films overlook a vast
number Of real day-to-day prob
lens that are of immense social

 We would like to thank the public for their cooperation. With out these practice alerts it is inn possible to see just where our weaknesses are and what phases of our CD organization need fur development. We learned a num- Der of valuable things Sunday, and our next test should find us even better prepared" he said.
 Imme paid special tribute to the warden and police services the volunteer fire service who who did an excellent job. Also made two runs, one in the city and one to the disaster site at Mile 27.3.. The Matanuska Elec- tric Association set up mobile radio units at three points in the city enabling the CD headquar- ters to communicate readily with the casualty station and the dis aster area at Chugiak.
 The social service group pro- vided coffee and doughnuts for all workers and observers. Trans portation provided emergency ambulance service to permit fast pickup of local casualties.
 A greater number of nurses turned out than was expected as we'll as two doctors. Many Boy Scouts turned out for courier service. To all volunteers Imme paid special tribute.
 "For our next test, which will be much more extensive, we will need many more first-aid workers rescue workers and ambulance vehicles" Imme announced. "We need the folowing," he said. Peo- pie with first aid experience sign up with Max Sherrod.. NOW! Station wagons and volunteer ambulance drivers sign ur with Oliver Onkka NOW! Men to work on rescue teams.

 Fire Chief Ray Lancaster an- nounced that there are now only six men he can consider regulars. Some of these men would re- sign if there were replacements available. We need about ten regular men who would attend all fires and practice meetings" he said.
 The discussion led to Acting Mayor Betty Mears instructing the city clerk to send letters to all business men and federal of fees in the city, asking that a man from each establishment be named as a fireman. 'It would be in their interests to see that the city does have a fire fight ing force," City Attorney Harold Butcher said. Final decision will be made at a future meeting.

Members of the Chamber of Commerce voted at their April Is meeting to by-pas any cele- bration of Settlers Day at this time. In it's place, it was suggested that possibly efforts could be combined during the Matanuska Valley Fair where perhaps one day could be identified as a set tiers day. and the better features of past Settlers Day and Colony Day celebrations be featured at that time.
 Inclimate weather the latter part of May has on many occa- sions and especially in 1852, spoiled many planned events. It was pointed out that this year there will be no carnival to at tract the interest of persons out side the valley.
