Chesterfield's March and April campaign continues the “plea- sure” advertising that has won wide response from smokers and retailers throughout the country for its cheerfulness and good taste. The new campaign, which ties in directly with point-of-sale displays. radio and other Chesterfield ad- vertising, is designed to appeal to the typical smoker of every age.| Stars of radio and the sports world will be featured in some of the ad- vertising, while in others the smok- ers themselves are the “stars”. The campaign, according to Lig- gett & Meyers, is based on the be- lief that people smoke for the pleas- ure of smoking. But in each ad- vertisement, factful, reason-why copy supports the pleasure message The high quality of Chesterfield in- gredients—mild, ripe tobaccos and pure cigarette paper—are stated as the reasons why the cigarette gives “more pleasure” and has increased its popularity year after year.

Masonic SHRINE DANCE (INVITATIONAL) SATURDAY The Twelfth ® ORCHESTRA 9:30 | Temple NEW RENTALS FOR FUR FARM ISLANDS GIVEN United States Forest De- partment Announces | DownwardRevision A downward revision in island fur farm rentals is announced by the U. 8. Forest Service at Juneau, ef- fective at the beginning of this cal- endar year and continuing for the next five-year period. The new rates for or groups of islands under one permit are as follows: 500 acres or under, $12.50 p 501 to 1,000 acres, $25 per year 1,001 to 2500 acres, $50 per year ands Y 00 acres, $125 per ar The Forest Service also ises that here lands over 1,000 acres in area and now uncccupied will not be available for fur farm permit, nor will transfer of permits be approved for islands over 1,000 acres which are now stocked. In the latter case, if the improvements belonging to the present permittee are to be sold to a qualified appli- cant, only an area sufficient for the pen ising of foxes will be available to the new permittee. No new permits (as distinct from trans- fers) will be issued for any islands regardless of their size, which, in the judgment of the Forest Service. cannot be operated successfully. The last two rate items mentioned above apply only to islands covered by ex- isting permits, Industry Started The raising of blue foxes on is- lands in the National Forests of Alaska was a minor and seldom heard of industry until about 1920 According to Regional Forester B Frank Heintzleman, a total of 21 National Forest permits were in effect at the end of the year 1919. By 1620 this number had increased to 59 and by 1925 it had reached its peak of 210 permits. At one time or another, 300 separate islands had been under permit. Practically every island between 20 and 8,000 acres, and separated from other islands by more than a few hundred applied for. The Alas vice organization heartily approved of island fox farming, as it prom- ised a splendid opportunity for eco- nomic development by local people It was a “family enterprise” type of industry and offered Alaskans of limited means an opportunity to pool their capital in small local un- dertakings. The original Forest Service rental schedules were set when the indus- try was prosperous and rapidly ex- panding, states Mr. Heintzleman and quite naturally were a reflec- tion of these conditions. The charges ranged from a minimum of $25 to a maximum of $250. Unsolved Problems Unfortunately, the industry failed to meet expectations. In the first place, there were and still are too many unknown factors in the rais- ing of this wild animal in captivity For example, parasites, especially in- testinal worms, are an unsolved problem. They have proved very destructive to young foxes and have 50 badly infested many islands as to force abandonment of the enter- prises there. The proper food ration for females and young is another acute problem. Secondly, island fox ranching has been found to give inadequate control over breeding and a consequent deterioration in fur quality. The third major trouble has been that blue fox fur lost much of its former popularity in the style centers. Prices had decreased alarm- ingly before 1929, and the general economic depression just about added the finishing blow to the in- dustry. The number of National For- ests islands now under permit has dropped to 127. Cenditions Surveyed | In 1932, the low point of the de- pression, the Forest Service tempor- arily reduced the established fox island rentals by 50 percent, with the thought that the full rates would me reinstated when the industry improved. These temporary rates were continued to the end of 1937. Recently Mr. Heintzleman's office made a survey of conditions among the island fox farmers and this study indicated quite clearly the free-running of foxes on is- lands, as now practiced, had largely been an unprofitable enterprise and that the situation, with respect to the larger islands, has been defin- itely unsuccessful. Mr. Heintzleman expects that the Territorial Fur Experiment Station, now being es- tablished near Petersburg, will be able within five years to give the industry and the Forest Service con- crete information on the changes, it any, that can be made in island ranch methods and practices that will improve the prospects for suc- cess on the small and moderately sized islands; that is to say, islands up to 1,000 acres in area. The above five-year schedule of rental fees was set up to tide over this experi- mental period.

Even if the patron weren't movie-wise, he would lezve anyway because t lady in the seat ahead, who knew her signals, would be pinning on her hat and he couldn’t see if he did stay. But the protracted movie ending outlasted the hat pin era in femin- ine millinery by many a year.

About the only movie you can catch walking away into the sun- set nowadays is a Charlie Chaplin picture. Chaplin likes to send his little tramp shuffling and swing- ing down open roads for the fade- out. But then Charlie isn’'t mak- ing pictures nowadays. The ending of “Gold is Where You Find It” came pretty close George Brent and Olivia de Havil- land standing on a promontory looking out over their fertile val- ley while Brent philosophized and the color camera caught Cali- forma fruits in close-up. But there was a reason for that—the gold of the title sprang from those techni- colored fruits. Ordinarily, the wise producer today doesn't take time with such cinematic agonizing. He wants his picture to end with a bang—if for no other reason, because a good bang will wake up the patrons and clear the house for the next show.
