w2 i i SAYS NOVIES ARE WORSE NORALLY Federal Gouncil Wants Govers- ment Supervision of Films ‘Washington, Nov. 28 (P—The fed- cral motion picture council has gone on record as favoring government supervision of motion pictures and also as declaring that the cinema has grown worse morally. These resolutions were passed, however. only after representatives of five women's organizations had walked out of the meeting. Right They left the final executive scs- sion of the convention last night when they were denied the right by council officials of supporting their stand of opposition to federal su- pervision of pictures production. The representatives withdrawing were those of the General Federa- tion of Women's clubs, the D. A. R., the League of American Pcnwomen, the American Federation of Indus- trial Women and the National Cath- olic Alumnae. That the session would not be en- tirely harmonious was shown early yesterday when Mrs. Charles T. Owens of Norristown, Pa., better films chairman of the D. A. R., sald that she understood that a speak- er, the Rev. W. M. MacLeod of Pinchurst, North Carolina, at a meeting the previous night had been told that he could not have the floor unless he supported the council's policy. Canon William Sheafe Chase of New York, general secretary of the council, replied that time limitation had forced him to make the rule. “I understand that the Rev. Mr. MacLeod, who was here last night. was a paid lecturer of Will Hays," he said. “I don't know, of course, but T do know that he was not Iy- vited.” \ Mr. Chase requested Mrs. Owen to show her delegate card before he granted her the flqor, Mrs. David Ross of the Indiana state council for women said that Hays, head of the motion pictures producers and distributors, ‘and his organization deserved the support of all who were seeking to clean up motion pictures. Mrs. Owens declared that her or- ganization did not support proposed legislation that would establish gov- ernment supervision. “This is a form of bureaucracy,” she sald, “which the Daughters have been on record as opposed to."” During the day there were discus- slons of the effect of certain types of motion pictures, it being assert- ed the cinema might in some in- stances cause juvenile delinquency, crime among older persons and might also be a cause of war . Huston Thompson, former mem- ber of the federal trade commission, said that irritating nationals of oth- er countries by motion pictures con- stituted “a very grave cause of war.” He proposed a treaty to deal with the international aspects of motion pictures to be shown abroad. Favors Censorship Censorship found another friend in Miss Maud Aldrich of the W. C.' T. U. of Oregon, who sald it was the best thing done thus far in the cause of wholesome pictures. Professor Harmon B. Stephens, of the University of Tennessee, told of the harmful effffects of what he termed immoral motion pictures. “Motion pictures appeal to the mentally immature,” he said, “and because of that they have a great duty to perform.” ‘The council at the final executive session agreed to sponsor a meeting to formulate 4 legislative program to provide federal supervision of pic- tures, CRUSHED TO DEATH Fitchburg, Mass., Nov. 28 (P — Adam Lapnesky, 38, was crushed to death today in a pulp grinder at the Crocker-Burbank paper mill where he was employed.

Right now is the best time for this kind of work, because— First:—The most costly item in painting and decorating is labor. The very best men in the trade may be had now. Spring keeps these experts in high demand and the costs are higher. Second :—Relieved of pressure, the work can be more thorough. More time can be given to small details ?nd the results will be better by ar, Third:—With the home heated the work dries quicker and better and aives more satisfactory and lasting results. We believe that if once a home is redecorated in the winter the re- sults and low cost of the job will be so much of a revelation that the “Spring Decorating” idea will not be adhered to so rigidly. The job doesn’t end there how- ever. In painting and decorating, as in any other trade, there are skilled and unskilled workmen. A PAIR OF WHITE 'OVERALLS DOES NOT MAKE A SKILLED CAINTER. For 50 years the John Boyle Co. _has employed only the highest type of skilled workmen, the very best quality products and applied its 107 years of knowledze so expertly that today when better home dec- orating is desired it is logical to call 3 359 for estimates.
