AP Wirephoto by radio from Stockholm. Swim Lines Across Moselle 3 ODAY IS QUITE A DAY for all of us employes here at the Star Journal and Tribune, and we're all nervous and jittery. We've never had a day quite like it before.

We've had things happen. Big stories have broken. We've gone in to hit the Old Gent for a raise. We've had big shot guests come down to our building. But nothing quite compares with what each of us is going through today.

We've turned movie actors and the premier of our first film is being shown today in the Northwest's largest motion picture theater, Radio City. Don't you think we're entitled to at least a touch of the jitters? Most of you have probably had. some home movies taken of you at one time or another. Well, you know how you feel when you see your own shape come toddling across the screen. There's usually a mixture of emotions.

You're thrilled, and then you say to yourself, "My gosh, do I walk like that?" That's what all of us here at the paper will be going through for a whole week, only our feelings will be somewhat magnified because the picture will be seen by so many of our friends TITLE OF THE FILM is "Good Neighbor," mnd In sound and picture It tells the story of the Star Journal and Tribune newspapers not only in the making; but In the role they play In the Northwest. Some of you may remember is or seven years ago when we held those open house evening; here at the paper and you came down In droves to visit our plant, see our setup, watch us at work. This film amounts to a tour of our entire plant against the bark, ground that helps create our newspapers. Naturally, wo sort of hope you'll like the film. When you see it, try to keep In mind that we aren't Lana Turners or IJonrI Barry-mores or Bette Davises, we're just ordinary gees at work SOONER OR LATER, we hope, naturally, that everybody In.

the Northwest will see the film and it's our secret wish that when you do, you keep in mind that It's as though the camera had moved In on you when you were slaving over a hot stove or engaged In the daily task that brings you your bread and butter. That's really what happened here when they filmed the story. You put people like Virginia, Safford, Charlie Johnson, Jimmy Robinson or Tom Dillon in front of a camera and they're bound to mug a little bit. There's a little sequence in the film where this Rotund Reporter Is shown and I guess I've been watching President Roosevelt too much In the news reels. Unconsciously, I've copied that head-nodding of his.

Here and there you'll see a flaw or two, maybe, but don't be too critical of us, will you Maybe If we were getting Lana Turner's salary, our starring jobs would have been better. This Is one time when the motion picture people can get even with Bob Murphy, our movie critic, too. They can make their reviews very brief with a little note to Bob that says, You stink!" DOESN'T SEEM as though It'll soon be here again, but department stores are already signing up men to act as Santa Clauses during the holiday season and have already made arrangements for specialties with which to imrne the youngsters Walter IJberaee, the wizard of the keyboard, brings his "Concerts In Miniature" back to the Radisson's Flame Room tonight and here's a sample of how the 2 ear-old has been climbing: In less than nine months he has poshed his salary from $300 to $1,800 a week A plumbing concern In Los Angeles has established a unique "wash-your-own-elothes" laundry. Twelve rebuilt washing machines are provided In a former store building and eaeh machine rents for 60 cents an hour. Ifot and cold water are furnished, but customers bring their own soap.

The unusual enterprise operates at capacity all day, too.
