MOVIE PRODUCED AT STATE COLLEGE TO BE RELEASED FOR SCREEN “Pennsylvania Local Government in Action,” a new 16mm. sound {of Internal Affairs, and produced [by the motion picture and record- | ing studio of the Pennsylvania Sta- te College extension services, now ready for distribution. The film, which runs approxima- tely two minutes, has been releas- ed by the Department of Internal Affairs to local government gro- ups, service clubs, civic organiza- tions and schools, free of charge. William S. Livengood, secretary of the Department, is the narrator. Frank Neusbaum, in charge of the studio, wrote the script and di- rected the film. Paul Seitzinger served as sound technician and ed- itor, and Delmar Duvall as camera- man. Harold F. Alderfer, direetor of the Bureau of Municipal Affairs, of the Department of Internal Af- fairs, and also executive secretary of the Institute of Local Govern- ment at the college was technical adviser for the film. He explained that the film serves four purposes: | first, to show the variety and col- | cr of day by day local government; | second, to indicate some of its [ most pressing current problems; { third, to make citizens and officia- [ls cognizant of the importance of [local government in the system of | American government and fourth, | to help to cement unity of spirit | and purpose among Pennsylvania | local government officials. | The film includes several governmental organization housing, traffic, a health road building, police, fire company activities, water works, a sewage | local | disposal plant, and other government activities which were filmed in several dozen towns and t | cities throughout the state. STATE FIRE TOLL IS HIGHEST IN YEARS Fire took its heaviest toll of life | in 25 years throughout Pennsylva- [nia during 1945, the state police | report. State Fire Marshal William F. { Traeger said preliminary reports | indicated that about 160 persons | died in fires last year, considera- | bly more than the annual previous | average of 125. Final reports may | show the figure to be even higher. | Some $23,000,000 worth of prop- | erty was destroyed, which also was |a decided increase over the $21,- 000,000 loss reported in 1944. The greatest fire loss in Penn- ylvania, Traeger said, occuprred |S TYPEWRITER FOR SALE.

The unusual thing about it was that | many families were wiped out. In | former years it was mostly one | person whi died in a fire, but last | year the loss of life usually was two, three, four or more in a sin- gle blaze. Traeger reported that many of | the fires were caused by careless- ness and asked that the public use more caution as a step toward | reducing fatalities and blazes. DEERSKINS NEEDED. Deerskins are need to make glo- ves and other essential battle eq- uipment for our armed forces as much in peace times as in war times and game officials say none should be wasted. Hides may be legally sold within ninety days of the close of the season. Local fur dealers, hide buyers and taxider- mists are usually willing to pur- chase them, or they can be sold to tanneries, officials advise.
