A fnlerid who lad just returned from a motor tour i.n the United States tld me of a "funny" inci- dent he had witnessed during his visit to Hollywood. It seems that part o! a motion picture was be- îng staged on anc side o! a street, and the cameras and lights had to be set up on the opposite side- waik. Electric cables were laid loosely across the surface o! the Street Pavement, along whicIf mo- tor traffic wvas passing ta and fro. The director o! the picture, fear- ing that the current might be a!- fectcd by the constant jar cf the traffic, suggested that the car- penters, who were standing by, slould lay planks on Éither side o! tle cabie. Af 1er some consultation, the carpenters decided that, accord-j ing ta union rules, it was not their1 job ta lay týe planks; that wasi the propert3/-men's job. Sa the shooting o! the picture lad ta be held up until tle propcrty men were brought and the planks duly laid in position. But, with the jar- ring of the traf!ic, the planks wcre jostled out o! position, and the director asked that they might be secured 'by a !ew spikes. The property men, lowcvcr, said that spike-driving was a carpenter's job. As the carpenters lad disap- pcarcd in the meantime, they lad ta be brought -back, and a!tcr con- siderable deiay the shooting o! the pictume proceeded.. It is a pity that this little inci-t dent was not inciuded in the pic- turc, as it might have provided a comnic interlude. But my friend says that such incidents are quiteE comnmon at Hollywood, and that the above example o! strict unionJ mules for studio empioyces is not3 as 'ridiculous as some others that occur in the pmoccss o! making at picture. The idea, a! course, is ta sprcad out the wvork and providef empioyment for as many people J as possible, even though it means0 that for the most part thc "spec- f ialists" arc standing around idle.e But such exampies o! inflexiona o! union rules are not confinedt ta the motion picture industry. In lis chatty weckly appeaming in the Oillia Packet, Mr. J. R. Hale, i'eferring ta a retircd local bricklayer, writes: "Things have changed since Mr. Leonard Wainman was active in his trade. He is now over cighiy. In lis day, le or any other goodC bricklayer wouid lay 1200 bricksM a day. He wouid think there was d something wrong if le laid any CJ less. Today in Toronto a brick- dCý layer, I arn told, lays 250 -bricks, ri Five times 250 is 1250. In other Y( words, a brickiayer ioday takes 01 5 days ta do a day's work. For the five days in Toronto le gets ti $75, which is quite a good sum. m It is flot any wunder that build- fr ing costs a lot ihese days. Other sh trades are more or less similar." w, 1 showed a ciipping of the above th to a Toronto, architect and asked la him what le tlought about' it. -a Hc said the figures were not quite vF correct, but le added: "It's a won- at der ta me that theme is anY brick- th building these days.

At that trne theme weme no Eskimos on thc Island. This year's pamty was thc first ta carry Out 'an investigation o! thc ruins. Conditions on île island at the time the Eskimos resided there must lave been quite different frm thase o! today.
