The Teutons regarded holly as a good luck symbol. Later legend associated the evergreens with the idea that all growing things blos- somed and bore fruit the night of the Nativity. Holly came to symbolize the crown of thorns worn by Christ. ‘The Puritans tabooed holly and mis- tletoe as pagan decorations. t STEAMER Movmvmms ’ F Sat- e ® e oo 000 e 00000 NORTHBOIIND scheduled to arrive wil Sitka, returning Monday e southbound to Seattle SCHEDULED SAIL .

W. Passengers baoard the HO"YWOOd Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Dec. 20.-It'll peace while it lasts. The main thing wrong with it is that, pretty obviousl last. That strike-averting agreement between producers and labor leaders is a Versailles treaty in one important respect. It con- tains the seed of a future war which potentially could make the recent strike threat lock like a tame skirmish. Unlike Versailles, however, this “treaty” considerately sets the approximate date for the outbreak of new trouble and suggests what other movie forces will be drawn into the controversy. The next labor scrap, without a doubt, will have an all-star cast before it's done. Here’s the set-up for this “peace in our time” truce: The producers granted the wage increases to the craftsmen involved, subject to review on or about February 15, 1940, as to the studios' ability fd pay. Also to be reviewed in this light is the previoqs wage increase granted to 12,000 other technical workers. be a nice movie labor , it can’t Producers and unions agree that, if they fail to see eye to eye after the February conferences, the question may be sub- mitted to an arbitration committee whose decision will be binding on both part This is all to the good, eminently sensible, But— The labor committee’s reply makes it clear that it will insist “the salaries”of those receiving $2,000 a week angd upwmds that NOW AT Percy’s exclusively 7/::;: Duyn CANDY AILED ANYWHERE :/_—— See Our Selection ot Gift Boxes TODAY! should be carefully scrutinized” if the conferences show a wage scale adjustment necessary. This is no new stand on the union men’s part. It has been reiterated through the recently concluded strike conferences. Such “careful scrutiny” of the screen’s top salaries, especially by an arbitration committee (one union man, one producer, one disinterested outsider) would focus such attention on these fav- ored few that almost inevitably the talent guilds would be called on to defend themselves—and their salaries. This they would do, to understate is a bit, with noble en- thusiasm. They could be relied upon at the very least to demand to be own"—and the upshot, unless the history of “voluntary cuts” by movie higher-ups reverses itself, would be turbulent. Aside from the treaty’s bellicose potentialties, its arbitra- tion provision ean be hailed with optimism as a means of staving off rectirrent strike crizis. It represents an adult approach to the problem which has been seriously lacking before. And out of it all might come, in the end, the enduring peace which would be Hollywood's greatest boon. An industry which has glways been made publicity capital, until recent years, of its fabulous wealth isn’t going to make friends for itself by con- stant internal squabbling over the spoils. There’s reason to doubt that the general public can work up much sympathy either for rich producers, stars and other talent or for workers whose wage scales are high even though, as the union commiftee insists, their average annual wage is around $900. The general public, in fact, might get pretty sick of the whole fuss, and of Hollywood and all its works.
