Jack Barnett, Fox Movietone News cameraman, is telling his friends of some more of his hairbreadth experiences to get pictures. His latest adventures were in Canada and northern Minnesota for pictures of log river drive and Prizefighter Braddock in training. Barnett’s search for scoops caused him to be stranded for three weeks in the 300-population town of Littlefork, Minn. Barnett had to be an excellent log driver to keep his balance among the log jams.
