Only Co-operation of Merchants and Public Can Accomplish Good Results. AIKEN DEMANDS "OF GIF. Advances Nine-Point Program for Reorganization of Party. When you find high class public schools located accessible to your children; when you find community of fine churches; when you find all the conveniences of modern life at your elbow, just stop and think that this is the result of successful home trade, which has made it possible to create a splendid center of civilization in your locality. If everybody had decided to trade away from home these things could not exist in your neighborhood.

They might exist In some remote city where your welfare Is never considered, and you might as well be In the wilds of Africa, for all those who had profited by the money you sent them would care. A safe and sound bank, a live mercantile establishment, or an industry that is commanding business In the community is a great asset to every peiscn in a community. It is the thing that tlecides the stability of the town, and deteimines the growth of the place and its desirability as a plate in i to live. No person caies to locate In a where husi- is uncei tain and shaky, or where conditions aic so uncGitam that investments in ical estate v.ould be a doubtful And all of those conditions depend in the Imal analysis on what ou arc doing with your money and whether the is ic- cemng the business to svhieh it is entitled. In homf trade, however, you are dealing i neighhots and friends.

You are dealing with those who sorrow i your loved ones nre taken. You a dealing i those are ready to chip in and help as far as their means i allow them when you and your family are in dis- tiess; you aie dealing i those who aie joint a In the joys and sorrows of our home community. Disaster to joil is disastei to them. The welfare of the people of a comm i is inxepaiable. Selfishness and shortsightedness but It's the EDWARDSVILLE INTELLIGENCES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 6 1937.

PAGE F1VB Premiere of 'Snow White' Nears Montpeller, Dec. 6--Gov. George D. Aiken of Vermont bid for leadership of the Republican party today with an open letter to the national committee demanding a party purge and a constructive program. The governor proposed a nine-point program to avert a revolt within the ranks and a possible turning to a third party.

He said the party'pres- ently was in a "nearly complete state of demoralization." The letter was released last night, less than two weeks before G. O. executive committee meets. Aiken, one of the few Republicans to win an office in the 1936 nationa elections, demanded that the party organization be purged of "its reactionary and unfair element," that the "youth of our nation" be recognized and that the party "prepaie immediately an affirmative program." That is the demand which the Republican leadership Vermont makes on the Republican leadership of the nation," ho said. The '15-year-old governor said he sent the Icttei as "titular head of the Republican party in Veimont, and not as governor of the state." To rid the national committee of the "baneful influence" southern members, Aiken suggested that each committeeman be allotted a vote proportioned to the Republican vote in his itate cast for picsiclcnt in the last national election.

This would leave Vermont and Maine the only states with a full vote or more, In his nine-point ptogram, Aiken uiged the "committee: 1. Accept the social aim which the opposing paity has had the wisdom to adopt but has lacked the ability to put into efficient opeiation." 2. Reject the use of enormous ex- pcndituics and special benchU as a political expedient to attiact agriculture, Industiial groups and other woikcis to the party. 3. Invite youth "to work together STEP TAKEN 11 Lives Taken; Accomplishments Sato "Minor Refinement of-Treatment."

Veiy few of the towns of the state offer better business opportunities than they did years ago, and in many of them the pios- pccts a not so promising as they were at that time. One reason for this, peihaps, Is the glowing tendency to mail order houses and stores located in the larger centers It is worth notms that farm values depend in some mcatuio, at least, on the proximity of the property to a good town. Eliminate the country town, and land values surely will drop. We believe the small town is needed, and that farmers and townspeople are ixcecdmgly shortsighted when they to patronize home merchants and Uieir home Institutions. WILLIAM S.

Hollywood, Dec. 6--Night and day, day and night, color cameras at the Disney Studio are gimding away at "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Perhaps "grinding" isn't quite the word.

These cameras merely click, and slowly. A photogiapher adjusts a painted background under the light and the lens, Fiom a great stack of celluloid sheets he takes those on which are painted all the players in a scene and places them over the back ground. Then he pushes a button and the camera clicks once, recording a split instant of suspended animation. To make the picture move there must be 24 of these carefully arranged shots for every second that "Snow White" runs on the screen. That will mean, for this first full-length animated feature, about 150,000 frames of film and at least 100,000 more to be lost in the editing, cutting and retakes.

After four years, the job is nearly finished now. They're recording the last of the background music, and the songs are being synchronized. Snow White already is the arms of the Prince, and the Dwarfs aie chasing the Wicked Witch. But only in Hollywood, where a dazzling, formal premiere is being planned, will the completed film be seen by Christmas. Weeks more will be required to make prints for nationwide distribution.

Walt Disney grins when people accuse him of doing a Chaplin--that is, working slowly and meticulously, regardless of time and cost. Disney points out that "Snow White and the Seven Dwaifs" is, after all, the first animated feature, and that much of the work naturally was experimental. Three years ago he had a staff of about 100 people. This had to be enlarged to a total of 600. Several times during early stages of the work, discoveries were -made which prompted idealist Disney to go back and virtually begin again.

One development is an impressive contraption called the multiplane camera, svhieh gives an Impression of depth. Until now, all animated cartoon 1 were photographed as if from a single sheet of paper, with the characters moving flat against the backgrounds. The multiplane process causes charactcis to stand out as though on a miniature stage Disney spent $50, 000 perfecting this idea, and a lot more in applying it. To meet the voice problem, Disney established a casting departm. nt, which held thousands of auditions.

The job was to look at the character while listening to the voice anj decide whether the two went together convincingly. The dwarfs-Sneezy, Bashful, Dopey, Sleepy, Doc, Grumpy and Happy- have quite different personalities. The- queen is cold, the witch a horrific hag Snow White required the voice of a young girl, not a child. And she had to sing. Snow White was by all odds the most difficult part of the entire production, but a human being.

Also, being the heroine, she had to be beautiful. It would have been no trick at all, Disney explained, for his artists to produce almost photographic likenesses of some lovely.model complete with all the lines and coloring and detail of a human face. Nor would he have begrudged the extra expense and labor entailed. But it was photographically impossible to employ such minute detail because in animation Snow White's; face would have become hazy. So they finally worked out a simplified design for a pretty girl, who probably is as real a person as the animated screen is likely to see.

Her movement and gestures also caused a thousand headaches among her cie- ators, who for the first time were obliged to show motion as graceful and natural instead of comic. Anyway, the job is clone, and cameras are putting the last few thousand upon film. Total cost will be $1,500,000. Lists Grounds For New Trial. Pittsfleld, 111., Dec.

FATHER DEBS IN ALTON HOSPITAL Chicago, Dec. 6--A first step by medical science toward control of the virulent, unknown disease which has taken the lives of 11 newborn and threatens seven others at St. Elizabeth's Hospital Nursery was revealed today by a staff pediatrician.

The accomplishment was described aa a "minor refinement of technique of treatment" but physicians held hope it may aid in saving the lives of the infants still isolated in the nurserj, ward. The malady, characterized by acute inflammation of the intestinal tract and usually fatal within 24 hours, has baffled pathologists and toxicologists. Physicians have recognized the ailment in recent years as a new and distinct malady. Its deadlmess and unknown cause have prompted widespread and, so far, relatively unsuccessful study Even as tyie death of the eleventh victim was announced, Dr. Benjamin Levin, head pediatrician of the hospital staff, announced a means had been determined to offset exhaustion of bodily fluids--one of the malady's principal symptoms.

We have found a way to counterbalance such dehciencies blood transfusions and saline injections," he said, "and can control dehydration be- foie the infection has spread too far." Another symptom of the disease, in addition to the intestinal inflammation, is vomiting, he said. Mother Superior Adolphine, in president of the board of health, said. "We are hampered by the rapidity with which the disease strikes and claims its victims." He believed the disease was caused by an unalterable virus. All of the victims so far have ranged from five to 25 days old. Dr.

Bundesen said health department physicians have been, ordered to make daily visits to the homes of all babies born at St. Elizabeth's during the past two months. The visits are being made only as a precaution measure, he said, to insure that babies will be given immediate treatment if they show symptoms of the disease. The ailment is to enteritis- epidemic diarrhea--which attacked hundreds of infants throughout the country during the last 10 years and appears to be fatal in about 50 per cent of the cases.

KROEXIXG Quincy, Illinois. CHALLENGE TO CHIZZLEWITS THERE once was a merchant named Chizzlewit who trimmed his tree every Christmas and his customers every day, He was a canny creature? this Chizzlewit, knew how to win a customer by guile. The shirts he sold were cheaply woven, packed with powder to make them seem firm. To conceal their inferiority he told customers that he always wore them himself. In the glassware department he "made up" for poor quality by giving a set of pretty paper doilies with every purchase.

He knew many such clever tricks and used them without reserve. Chizzlewit never advertised. He knew too well he could never fool people for long in print. Advertising must live up to its own claims. That is why you can have full confidence in goods consistently advertised.

If the maker has a worthy product, fairly priced, he wants as many people as possible to know about it. If the product is unworthy, the printed word will only expose it sooner. Christmas, and all around the calendar, read advertising. Makers and merchants stake their reputation, in cold black type, that what you read is true. Nrw:.
