In the opening reel, many familiar landmarks o Weston and the district fhrshed upon the screen; it proved to be a rather seculiar sensation to sit in the arkened theatre and witness these everyday Ih""fl'fe"hs through the eyes of the splendid technicolor camera.

In our opinion the moset strik- ing scene was that which portrayed Bill Nichglls, I member of the firm's Twenty Year Club, us, with a swift and practised hand he cast moulds for the burners. In our mind, this scene proves the point that there is poetry and beauty in the way a skilled artisan does his work,--. fact that is more than often'forgotten in this humdrum day of mass production untim- sersonal graphs of business con- itions. Nicholls performed his work with s precision, dexterity and even flow of muscular effort that was extremely pleasing to the eye. The pcene which most tickled the audience was played by Supt. Jack Wright, who devoured a mixed Ialad for the benefit of Moffat dealers throughout the world. Jack did a noble job. But as an tmnteur movie critic,'we would have given him something . little easier to set on the fork, _ As In outsider who has never been through the plant, we were impressed with the splendid condi- tion in which the factory is main- tained. the extent of heavy ma- chinery which is ”(wired to build the product, and t e gleam”, spotless machines themselves. e were also struck with the uncom- mon good looks of the young ladies who appeared in the film.

The campaign acroaa Canada this year, starting in most placea Sept. 10, is for a total of $1,500,0000 for Salvation Army purposes for 1946. There has been no campaign in Toronto for maintenance funds ex- clusively for the Salvation Army since September, 1942, but in 1943 the Salvation Army participated Jn the United Welfare fund. Since the United Welfare fund was changed into the United Welfare Chest, the Salvation Agmy has not participated in its benefits. The Salvation Army is a national organisation and the chest is or- ganized on tr local basis. The Sal- vation Army is unable to ehnform its operptions to the restrictions imposed by chest membership. Organization for the campaign is now well under way, said Mr. Berk- inshaw, and 1 large number of canvassen have alrebdy volunteer- ed to help. There will .be about 1,000 Salvation Army etaonnel in the campaign and 121-013be about 2,000 civilian workers.

It is thought that the cost of interior decoration, alone,' may amount to three quarters of a million.

From the standpoint of a builder it may be a couple. of year: before everything is in shape for a com. plete exhibition. Of course no one can predict just how soon labor and materials will be available but Mayor Saunders say.- that he does not, wish to draw men or supplies away from more necessary work such as house: and milita hospi- tals.
