This, of course, entails a considerable loss.” Asked if the present situation would have any bearing on this year’s prices paid to the fishermen, Engstrom replied that it undoubt- edly would. With such a lay-over supply from last year, halibut will not meet with so great a demand, he concluded.

The story of “Bambi,” with the | deer as its hero, is filled with the jhuman emotions of love, hate, | Jealousy, gaiety, fear, happiness, courtship and parenthood. It is the most adult and spectacular story ! Disney has yet chosen. Bambi’s iriends tnclude some of the most ingratiating characters ever created — principally Thum- per, a rabbit who steals many scenes of the picture. An inspired name for another character, an ir- resistibly charming skunk, 1s Flower. Faline is the doe Bambi loves and has to fight for to win. Other wild animals of the great forest are characters of varying importance. A great forest fire provides a sensational climax in the produc- ! tion, which, with its engrossing action and musical features is a distinguished example of high en- tertainment.
