A wood fuel moving-picture film, prepared last summer by the New 

 York State Conservation Commission as a part of the wood-fuel cam- 

 paign in New York State, is now being shown on the regular circuit 

 of moving-picture theaters throughout New York. The scenario, pre- 

 pared by Warwick S. Carpenter, secretary of the New York State 

 Conservation Commission, tells the story of the appointment of a 

 comity fuel administrator and his work in furthering the use of wood 

 fuel. One of the pictures portrays a meeting in the executive chamber 

 at the Capitol at Albany, where Governor Whitman, the members of 

 the New York State wood fuel advisory committee, and other State 

 officials are seen discussing the proposed program.
