MOVIE PHUOPLE ENROU'TE
TO FOREST
A group of movie people, reportedly from Los Angeles were mired
deep in the middle of the road enroute to Alleghany one day last
week. They were on their way to
shoot snow pictures at Forest and
to use one of the mines for a set up.
The Davis freight truck assisted
them out of their difficulty on the
road. It is reported there were about
fifty movie people going to take part
in this filming. ;
