pertly than in those unforget-
table comedies.
Hilda Lewis novel, ""This Day
Is Ours" is the basis of Mac
Hendricks film.
When the story begins, Miss
Calvert and Morgan are the de-
voted, happy parents of a two
year-old girl. The air of their
congenial home is troubled by
but one thing, the mothers I'M
voiced fear that the child does
not talk because she is deaf.
When this suspicion is confirmed,
the shock of it proves too much
for the love the parents have for
each other and for the child.
The point on which they split
is the proper treatment for
Mandy. the mother favoring in
stitutional training for her. the
shocked father insisting upon her
Seclusion within the family circle.
MacKendrick's deeply moving
story misses no area of the drama
in the situation. 1t is documen-
tarily real in its handling of the
processes by which Mandy. and
similarly afflicted children are
taught to 'hear" and speak. 1t
is no less convincing and poig-
nant in its revelation of the
shattering effect of the expert
ence upon the relations of the
parents.
Sentimentality is avoided in
every foot Of the film.
No effort is made, for instance,
to paint Hawkins. as head of the
school for the deaf, in any ideal
colors. He is a fiercely dedicated
man who believes that totally
deaf children can be taught to
communicate clearly. This is his
exclusive interest in life and he
has no time to be tactful and
gracious to parents, boards of
trustee, and the like. 1t is
enough for him that the children
in his care love and trust him,
and prove that his theories are
correct.
Hawkins gives it the flavor of
absolute honesty in it's every in
Election.
There is equal sensitiveness
and force in Miss Calvert's por-
trait of the mother. This is a
woman who loves her husband
dearly. but not so much that she
is willing to sacrifice her child to
that affection. Once she has
sensibly made up her mind that
Mandy can obliquely achieve a
normal childhood, she sees it
through - through lot of
needed, but also much needless,
anguish of spirit. -. g..
These two, with Morgan, do a
superb exploration of the infinite
completely of the emotions in
volved in the handling of a han
dlcapped cnlld.
X
It is fascinating aspect of
Crash of Silence" that it makes
such excellent film drama of the
slow. labored processes by which
deaf children are taught to
speak. Indeed. in many respects
the film achieves it's greatest
force in the actual setting of a
school for such children as
Mandy who, with her parents,
comes triumphantly through one
of life's most difficult ordeals.
AS film that might be labelled
important" Crash of Silence"
also has the merit of being excel
lent in every respect.

weekly checks rather than eighteen
as before, subject, of course, to some
adjustment at the time of the change

One effect of the legislation,
Castles pointed out, is to tougher up
the law by increasing the amount of
earnings necessary to qualify work
er for benefits. The new law requires
that claimant must earn a qualify
ing minimum of wages in more than
one quarter in order to qualify for
any benefits at all.
The legislature also more clearly
defined conditions under which claim
ants will be disqualified from receiv-
ing benefits. For instance, woman
is no longer entitled to receive bene-
fits if she quits her job to accompany
her husband to another locality, or
if she quits due to pregnancy.

CLAIMS FOR cHL0RoPHYLL LARGELY BUNK

SAN FRANCISCO-The advertis-
ing claims made for chlorophyll are
largely bunk, according to DR.. Arthur
w. Galston, associate professor of BIZ
ology at the California Institute of
Technology.
What gave rise to the $100-million
toothpaste and deodorizer business, he
wrote, in a Cal Tech journal was the
fact that the foul smell of certain
gangrenous LESSONS, could be masked
by use of chlorophyll pastes.
That was the basis of the kitchen
deodorizer, he said.
The magic bottle" that kills
the odor of onions, he said, does
nothing of the kind. What is ac-
complished is the deadening of
your sense of smell by means of
a volatile anesthetic, such as for
maldehyde.

Many Montana employers whose
unemployment compensation payroll
tax rates have been either increased
or reduced by legislative action will
soon be notified of their new rate,
and on April 1, 1853, jobless workers
who are claiming unemployment
benefits will begin to feel the af-
fects of the lawmakers changes,
Wesley Castles, Chairman of the I'm
employment Compensation Commits
sion revealed this week.
Not all employers will receive tax
cut, but the overall effect of the
legislation is to lop off about one third
of the total U. C. payroll tax bill
paid into the Unemployment Com
pensation Trust Fund by Montana
employers, Castles said.
The average tax rate under the new
law is IL per cent of the total Mon
tana payroll, which represents re-
duction of siX-tenths of 1 per cent.
Twelve separate tax rates ranging
from one-half of 1 per cent of 2.7
per cent are now IN effecC. L ne rate
paid by each employer is determined
individually and in effect is based
upon the amount of unemployment
for which each employer is account
able. The manner of computation re-
mains virtually unchanged from pre-
vious years, Castles said.
The changeover to the new sched-
ule of benefit payments, which be-
came effective April 1, means an
increase of $500 for most claimants
who were receiving $40 weekly
benefit check. However, many claim
ants, especially those who have been
receiving less than $40 week, will
learn that their checks are now re-
