When nerves play their queer, frightening tricks on you then is the time for a course of bracing Wincarnis. A wineglassful taken mid-morning and before going to bed, will have a wonderful tonic effect. Wincarnis is a wine fortified with extracts of beef and malt and glycerophosphates. You will hardly find a pleasanter, more palatable way of bringing yourself back to normal health.

WINCARNIS Delicious Invigorating 4 Lincoln 1160 FILM FANFARE Healthy Film Industry Must Have An Amateur HEALTHY film industry must be based on a strong amateur This being the opinion of the governors of the British Film Institute expressed in their annual report, it is not surprising to learn that the Institute has initiated a movement for a new organisation to represent all the amateur film makers in this country. In September, 1047, following the lead given by the Institute, the British Amateur Central Council was founded, its main purpose to represent the amateur movement in international relations. The Institute hopes that the new body will not only encourage interest in the technique of making films among amateurs but will sponsor general experiments in film technique. That there is a large public already interested in film technique and anxious to study film trends by comparing old productions with those of the present day is instanced by the growing number of film societies. The four years the federation of'film societies in Copland and Wales has enrolled I members representing 30.000 individual subscribers.

Added to these are Hie 10 societies in Scotland which, have S.OOO subscribers. In drawing attention to the major problem which eonfronts these societies, narneiy the supply of suitable films, the institute draws attention also to the lack of properly equipped meeting places them. the governors suggest, would appear to he that whenever a new hall is built, or an old one reconstructed, the installation of theatrical cinema projectors should be regarded as normal practice. Another and better would he for societies to iucreuse their mcrnhershiii to such point that then arc in a position to bun out one of a cinema's ordinary iveck-day sessions for their meeting." The latter suggestion presents a formidable target for film societies, but it would appear lo be the only solution for those societies in Wales, for example, where there is no Sunday opening of cinemas and where local authorities will not grant licences for them to meet in a cinema on Sunday. In England the difficulty is to find a cinema ready to open That Britain, through its Film Institute, has a National Film Library whose system of selection and preservation of films is better than any other in the world.

A for your cinema diary is of the Sierra a tough heman film full of the sense of burning sunshine and parched earth: a story of men's battle against nature to wrest gold from a desert region. It is one of those all too few films which has no love interest indeed, are conspicuous by their absence but it has what is all too rare in cinema entertainment, a strong story plus good character development, a full measure of first class acting and fine photography. It packs plenty of punches, has movement and excitement and real emotion.

Humphrey Bogart, tough man of the screen, has never heen tougher than he is in this film, and never has he given a better performarre than as the down-and-out turned gold-miner whose 1 character is completely corrupted by the lust for gold. Sharing his gold-mining exi pioits are Walter Huston, as the old philosophical pros pector who, though he realises what gold does to men's natures, cannot resist the ex citement of prospecting, and Tim Holt, upon whose upright character success has no effect. The story of fheir adven lures in bandit-ridden Mexico's mountainous Sierra Madre has made an Ironical ending; to tell it would spoil your enjoyment, but it is firstrate cinema.

When, at the February hundreds of thousands less meeting of the City Council, people want houses today the chairman of the Housing than they did when we took Committee announced that over forms were being sent out to all people whose names appeared on the housing he stressed the necessity for the form being completed. Bust just over 4Si) forms are stilt and the Corporation Housing Department officials feel that the majority of them must either have been overlooked or that the recipients are so apathetic that they have just not bothered.

Either attitude, it was emphasised to me yesterday is fatal. pOUMCILLOR Coombes told the Council, and the Echo passed it on to the people concerned, that the nonreturn of a form would be construed as an indication that ttic person to whom it was sent no longer needed a house. The form itself also makes that quite clear and, read it how- you will, you misunderstand it. Some people, whose names have recently been added to the register, might think they have been sent a form by mistake. No forms have been sent out in error, I am told, and no one who is anxious for a house, should ignore the matter.

On the forms returned will the waiting list for Corporation houses in Lincoln be compiled. vyHEN the topic was raised at the last meeting of the City Council, Alderman Rayment praised the move on the part of the Government, who were anxious to obtain an upto-d a picture of the housing requirements. I have since heard it cynically observed that it is all propaganda, and I have no doubt that the people are thinking along those lines will derive support for their thoughts in the 483 forms locally. They anticipate that this sort of thing will be happening all over the country and that, when the forms are totalled up, the number will he hundreds of thousands less than the figure. Then the Government will say; what we've done for housing: So many ALTHOUGH the Corporation never let a house to a single person, there are, on the wailing list, the names of several young men and women who are not yet married.

When I discussed this aspect of the matter with Mr. Newton, the Housing Manager, yesterday, he made it quite clear that need for a house is not regarded as having commenced until marriage has taken plaee. But, he added, several intelligent young people, on getting engaged, had put their names down on the list. music hall was how he described the suggestion that parents put down the names of their voung offspring in the hope that, by the time they arrived of, a marriageable age there would be a house for them.

Only in a normal light can see the light and shade and the details properly. Similarly, in the blare of a noise the details are lost and we shut our ears in selfdefence.

This is what Emily has done and she has vated it as an unconscious habit. If mother had taken Emily the first time and had spoken slowly and quietly, but made quite sure that her girl had heard and even repeating what had to be would not have needed to make a second journey. It was, of course, quite right that Emily made those extra journeys, but the real solution lies in helping her to do it right the first time. This will be achieved by giving her a rest from those things which over-stimulate and then deaden cinema, by providing quiet and peaceful home surroundings and encouraging her to fill her time with useful handwork, finishing each Job.
