TTACK B Y I LOSSES GIVEN AS I a x i im nn f LIFE DEMONSTRATED VIEWS AND l.FXTVUE BY W. l-IM.I-pa" IlltorGllT Ml'CH APPKECIATIOX An audience that filled every seat 1 and crowded most of the aisles en : Joyed the Finley "Wild Life.' pictures at the Arcade theatre last evening. The word enjoy is used advisedly for ,the reason that there was never a mo ment when the audience failed to re gister the fullest measure of appre ciation and interest. The affair was given under the aus. Pices of the Junior lied Cross and the size of the audience was due in lare measure to the enthusiastic I manner In which the members of this , organization carried on their personal 1 advertising campa'iKn. ( As explained by Mr. Finley the two fold object of the state Fish and Game Com in ission In providing these pic tures is to awaken an interest in out door life among the people of the state, thereby stimulating them to a greater desire to conserve and protect this life, and also to show to the peo ple of this and other states the great ness of Oregon's resources of this i kind. He said the commission felt ' as much could be accomplished for .mine protection through education as through the enforcement f laws by means of the warden service. The first film shown was that of the Columbia hiirhvtay with its accom panying bird, andimal and plant life. This was followed by a visit to Mt. ! Hood and a glowing tribute was paid to the personnel and work of the For est Service. One of the most interest -i ing reels was that giving the life his tory df the salmon from propagation to ha rvest. Not the least interesting to oid and young were the wonderful views obtained in the Yellowstone Park, while fishing in the Willamette and Kogue rivers together with scenes liom Kastern uit-'hh were greeted w It h audible approval- The educational value of the pic tures themselves was ureatly increas ed by the very inl eri in g explanatory lecture with which Mr- Finley accom pu hied them. lie was Introduced as Oregon's greatest naturalist and could a vote lrive been taioui nt the con clusion of t he d ispJ.iy It is probable 1 hat t he a udience woi- Id have voted him the nat ion's greatest naturalist.
