Chairman Richard Evans ap- pointed a committee to contact the civic, fraternal, and service clubs in the city and secure from them the names of their president and welfare chairman and a brief re- sume of club projects in the field of social welfare. In order to faciliate the compil- ing of the list, presidents are ask- ed to contact committee members and give them this information, which the Council feels will avoid duplication. of services and help promote better understanding of the needs and. resources’ of the community whole. Members of committee are Bill Gibb, president of the Safety Council; Eileen Coughlin, director of the USO-NCCS; Kathryne Whit- ing, Navy Relief Society; Teresa Braxton, president of the Amer- ican Legion Auxiliary; and Mrs. Raymond Dalton of the County Health Clinic. 4 . It was brought out by various Persons present that, there is a need for better interpretation, of the aims of the Council of Social Agencies, not only in the communi- ty as a whole, but among the pro- fessional workers. Most of the non-professional per- sons who were at the meeting are active members of at least one civic organization and agree to take back to their membership a report on what has been accomp- lished to date, and what the com- mittee hopes to accomplish in the future. It was pointed out that the di- rectory would be a great value in correlating information and ser- vices. Miss Ester Bentley, of the UCDS, also pointed out that the structure of any community wide agency should be built.slowly so that the needs of the community could be explored and evaluated before any concrete plans and projects are definitely decided on. Most of the member organiza- tions of the Council of Social Ag- encies are supported by the Com- munity Chest, and many of the civic or clubs are interested in at least one project that receives help from the Chest. The date of the next meetng of the committee will be announced later. Present at Tuesday’s meeting were: Richard Evans, Mrs. Ben Adams, Mrs. Merville Rosam, James Johnson, Mrs. Teresa Brax- ton, Mrs. Christine Key, Mrs. Merel West, Mrs, Gloriana Bayly, Mrs. Grace Crosby, Judge Eva Warner Gibson, Miss Arline Mer- ritt, Mrs. Stuart Whiting, Mrs. Eileen S. Coughlin, Mrs. Winston Jones, Bill Gibb, William Plunkett, Miss Ester Bentley, Mrs. Raymond Dalton and Mrs. A. J. Sawyer.

This week saw much activity in behalf of new movie techniques. Paramount’s deluxe huckster, Wil liam Holden, was circling the globe to sell the studio’s process, vista-| vision. RKO was demonstrating its superscope throughout the United States. And in Hollywood, the press trooped out to see two new devel- opments. One was the long-awaited Todd-Ao process, in which “Okla- homa!” will be filmed. It’s good. Mighty good. In fact, it may be the best. The screen is broad, slightly curved and taller than the ribbon-like cinemascope. It excells in clarity. The film is 65mm instead of the normal 35mm. And the film runs through the camera at 30 frames per second instead of the usual 24. These factors, plus a great bug- eye lens, give a picture that seems as close to real life as anything I've seen on a movie screen. The other showing was the im- proved methods of cinemascope. Its parent, 20th Century-Fox, showed some films using a new lens that seems to eliminate the fuzziness that plagued early cine- mascope films. The depth of focus is pleasing to the eye. It’s time for our semi-annual re- fresher course or new dimensions and what is happening to them. | to Pay attention now! Cinemascope — it squeezes a wide scene onto normal film. A special lens projects the result on a broad screen. It is still the most used of the new techniques. Cinerama — three projectors throw a continuous scene on a huge, semi-circular screen, giving the audience a sense of being in the picture. It is doing great business Notes By Bob Thomas Pears destined for limited, road- | show use. | 3Ds — the viewer looks through Polarized glasses at two images, | achieving an illusion of depth, Not | much life left in 3D. Va. Governor Seeks To Bypass Segregation Ban RICHMOND, Va. (®—Gov. Thom- as B. Stanley has pledged to use “every legal means to continue segregated schools in Virginia and has suggested the elimination from the state constitution of the pro- vision that requires the mainte- nance of a public school system. The governor issued a 500-word statement last night setting forth a course of action for Virginia for the first time since the U. S. Su- pPreme Court ruled May 17 that seg- regation of the races in publi¢e Schools is unconstitutional. Stanley said he is convinced “the over- whelming majority” of Virginians want to retain segregated schools. Stanley added, however, he does not want “to destroy the publie school system.” He said he wants to enable the Virginia legislature “deal with all phases of the complex problem now confronting us.” Yields per acre of American farms have increased more since World War II than in the previous 60 years, according to a study mere by the Twentieth Century ‘und. % —. in a dozen cities, but is limited to a roadshow ‘operation. Vistavision — the image is re- ceived on two frames of normal film, The bigger negative can be blown up to fit any size screen and still retain clarity. This has not yet been seen by the public. Superscope — a trick lens can convert any kind of film to fit all screen sizes. It is still unseen by the public. Todd-Ao — a mammoth lens, 65mm film and big screen combine for utmost clarity.
