ovie is plann
or
on,g
This evening, as its fourth
program in the series
Movies/Take III, the Community
Library Association will present
Jean Renoir's great anti-war
classic, Grand Illusion.
In 1917, two French officers,
the aristocrat de Boieldieu (Pierre
Fresnay) and the mechanic
Marechal (Jean Gabin) are shot
down while on a reconnaisance
flight by the German Commander
yon Rauffenstein (Erich yon
Stroheim) and interned. After
repeated escape attempts, they
are transferred to an
"'escape-proof" fortress
County
commanded by Rauffenstein,
who has been badly wounded.
Although a friendship has
developed between Boieldieu and
Rauffenstein, loyalty to his men
compels Boieldieu to aid in their
escape, just as a similar loyalty
compels Rauffeustein to shoot
him. As Marechal and the French
Jew Rosenthal (Marcel Dalio) flee
toward the Swiss border,
Marechal falls in love with a
German farm woman (Data Patio).
Renoir's theme is the
indissolubility of class barriers
and the consequent absurdity of
nationalism and its logical
extension, war: the two
aristocrats are more at ease with
one another than with their
fellow-nationals; the
working-class Marechal is
naturally attracted to a German
woman of his own class. But
Renoir satirizes neither worker
nor aristocrat; rather, his
generosity illuminates the
humanity of each character.
(Filmed in 1936-37 in French and
German; shown in a subtitled
version, running 111 minutes.)
The film will be presented at
7:30 tonight (December 4) in the
high school auditorium.
Admission is by series ticket or by
individual tickets available at the
door. Children will not be
admitted unless accompanied by
an adult.

program
Charlie Brown from the
Department of Social and Health
Services, announced recently that
the program of information
embarked upon last fall between
the Mason County Senior Center
and his office has taken on a new
dimension.
Any senior citizen resident of
Mason County using food stamps
or interested in being certified to
use food stamps may come to the
Senior Center at 208 Grove Street
in Shelton. Brown will be at the
center December 10 between 1
and 3 p.m. The continuation of
this service on a weekly basis will
be determined by this week's
usage.
Julie A. Raichart, director of
the senior center, stated that the
outreach effort is especially
helpful to senior persons who live
within the city and find it
difficult to arrange transportation
to the Department of Social and
Health Services which is located
on Mt. View in Shelton. "Many
senior persons hesitate to apply
for food stamps as a result of
viewing "the usage as demoralizing.
Elderly people must come to the
realization that it is a method of
stretching their retirement dollars
which they have paid for while
employed and paying taxes," she
said.
Any senior citizen needing
transportation to the center for
this service may call 426-2568.
All interviews and certification
are done privately.

money
Mason County will receive
$1,846,755 in the 1975 fiscal
year in funds from forest board
lands in the county managed by
the Department of Natural
Resources, the department said
this week.

the taxing districts in which the
land is located.
There are 59,687 acres of
state land in Mason County of
which 28,266 acres are forest
board lands, the department said.
Most of the forest board lands
were tax-delinquent lands which
the counties deeded in trust to
the state for management.

received $1,032,130 from the
forest board lands in the 1974
fiscal year.
