Show MOVIES HOLD LUMBER JACKS Jfotion pictures, shown with a nightly night-ly change of program, , have enabled the Guejmey Lumber Company in Wisconsin Wis-consin to hold steady crews at their Camps near Ashland, where formerly the end of a month seldom found more than a man or two at work who had sjirted the month. The lumberjacks would go to the cities, "blow in" their roll and then seek employment at another camp. The motion picture' Idea was suggest- i ed, according to the National Lumber I Manufacturers Association, by one of I the office employes of the concern. I There had boen so much trouble In I holding men that the company secured 1 an outfit and an operator and gave the plan an immediate trial. A -small admission price is charged, which the men are more than glad to pay, and the little show Hall is crowded crowd-ed every night and Sunday afternoon with lumberjacks who do not go to town and fail to return next day. The idea has been so successful that several sev-eral other companies expect to try it In the near future. |
