The process of contacting the public IS you sell and rent prints to schools, olleges, libraries, government agen
cies and private organizations is most revealing. The letters and phone calls zero in on what the public wants and needs. Perhaps you'd be interested in one letter from a young student in California: Deur Sirs:
I am very worried ohout drinkin<; dirty water. I know that it hurts my health. What are you doing aboitt it? Also, what can I do to help? The reason that I am interested in this subject is that I don't want to die soon because of polluted water. Will you please write back and in your letter tell me the statistics and all of the things that you are discussing at Stuart Finley.

Solid waste disposal problem is exemplified by a line of trucks waiting to enter the Oxon Cove Landfill at Washington, D.C.
Pilot plant of fluidized bed incinerator at West Virginia University designed to burn solid wastes. A full-scale reactor such as this is now operating at Franklin, Ohio.
Stuart Finley, president of Stuart Finley, Inc., Falls Church, Va., has been a leading producer in the environmental film field for the past 17 years.
Incorporated. I, for one. don't want to die soon because of this water pollution problem.
Sincerely Your, Robert Schell
I haven't answered the letter yet because the only way I know how is to produce that film and send him a print.
Perhaps the soundest guidance I've ever had on the philosophy of environmental film production has come from my E. P. A. Solid Waste Project Officer. Ralph Black. He keeps saying: "Just tell It like it is!"
