Willis of Old Fort Rt. 1 says he raises more corn on six acres of land now than he form erly raised on his whole farm. Mr. Willis attributes the in crease in yields on his farm to the fact that he is using lime, break ing the land good, planting le gumes for summer and winter cover, and rotating the different crops. Mr. Willis uses bi-annual grass es and legumes in his crop rota tion which gives him a source for raising his hay. By growing his hay in this manner Mr. Willis is able to turn under more lepsedeza and soy beans as a manure crop. Clyde Gilliam and G. S.

In as much as I admired your theater in Old Fort, so much I was particularly interested in comparing it with our New York movies. In only one respect, size, can the New York movie theaters be called superior if that can be re garded an advantage. In many other points I still think your theater better with respect t» beauty, comfort, cleanliness and most important it has that in tangible q u.a 1 i Uy, atmosphere which makes one not only enjoy a picture but also one seems to Suiaq Xjojs aqj jo jaud b aiuooaq unfolded. This is something that with all the bizarre architecture and bric-a-brac that the larger New York movie houses try to impress their patrons with lack so completely atmosphere. I am certain that the people of Old Fort do not realize how 7 for tunate they are to have such a splendid theater and that they are enjoying movie productions in a setting in which they cannot help but get the most out of a picture. Speaking for myself because of being in a position to compare the much publicized, huge New York movie theaters. I am sure that Hollywood and its actors would wish for more theaters such as your own where patrons can really enjoy their artistry. 1 can think of no greater treat than for the movie goer to see “The Green Years” in your beau tiful theater. “A perfect gem in a perfect setting”. Speaking of New York’s bizarre and record movie houses reminds me of the story they tell of Harry K. Shaw who was a central figure in a New York murder case. Stan ford White who was one of the world’s modern architects was not adverse to some extra clever color design one night was Shaw’s beautiful young wife Evelyn Nes bitt White on a not too secret rendezvous in one of the more fashionable New York hotels Harry K. Shaw coming upon them seated at a table on the roof gar den proceeded to bump the great architect off. Harry K. Shaw having plenty of money, influence and skillful counsel succeeded in having him self declared insane and committ ed to an asylum. In due course of time and with his money still plentiful he also succeeded in con vincing the authorties that he was now a sane man. The Paramount Theater on Broadway had just been completed and Shaw being of great news value because of his recent release was invited to the opening night. As he entered the great lobby surrounded by re porters, in being over whelmed with the architectural monstrosi ties he beheld, clasping his hands to his head he cried, “My God I shot the wrong man!” Miss Helen Mareau Bay Side, Long Island, N.

Buyers Srtike Held Unlikely ’Till ’47 The public is assuming a more critical attitude toward rising prices, lack of quanity and quality. Yet Dr. R. C. Shook of the Inter national Bureau of Statistics said that he expected the sellers mar ket to be with us for another year. The peak of the present price cycle will come, probably in 1947, the first indication of the new attitude manifesting itself in the first quarter of the year. Dr. Shook’s statement was made one day before the New York Times ran their story about the worst market break in years, blaming a twenty point drop of market issues on a developing buyers strike. With the death of the OPA, prices could be expected to sky rocket. However, the attitude of many manufacturers has been to restrain a rise in prices for the period ahead. Control must be realized by increasing production to the point where supply is equal to demand. But top govern ment officials have cited small household appliances and radids as scarce articles that may com mand higher prices right awa;4 Yet voluntary discipline on the part of the large manufacturers with a cautious rise in prices is the watchword.
