luck's of tragedy than prosperity, the new nationah'sm of this Moslem state can mean oppression once again if some event or incident sparks volatile anti-Zionism into anti-Semitism. Highly recommended for young people and adults in church and synagogue. Complete, the price is $7. .50 from UAHC. Having taken a Wednesday morning Bible class thru the Book of Acts last winter, I am in a good position to appreciate fully the quality and general utility of a new series of filmstrips (Continued on next page) pictures. Chop the message up into small chunks so that each picture carries just the right amount of the total meaning. I see far too many filmstrips— although they are fewer now than five years ago— where we have the elephant and donkey team. The verbal is the elephant and the visual the donkey, often pretty slack in his harness at that. That's no way to make a visualaudio aid. (By the way, why not change the term?) Now we did not create this truth about the needed balance between the visual and the verbal. We are announcing the facts. The eye-gate to the brain is much larger than the eargate, and this is no accident. It needs to be larger. It has more traffic to carry. Not only that, the traffic it carries is more important. The survival and fitness of the organism is more dependent upon what is seen than on what is heard. Can you think of a better reason than that to begin using the term visual-audio aid? After doing several depth analyses for producers, a very interesting fact turned up: There would be in the same filmstrip both good and bad frames (pictures) from the standpoint of their communicative qualities. Generally, these qualities were directly related to the interior dynamics of the pictures— the dynamics of motion, optics and psychology. Because the artist was not thinking of his pictures as media of communication he did not know which were good and bad, which spoke and which were mute. He was illustrating, or jamming into one picture all the 'canvas' would hold. In the first instance the pictures were secondary to the printed (or recorded) text and in the second the pictures needed a lot of explaining. Poor communication thus resulted. Congratulations and good wishes, Mr. Strumberg of Belvedere, and forgive me if I have carried too many coals to your Newcastle! But, if things work out as they always have, you'll need some of this coal for your clients from time to time! Filmstrip Notes The Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC), 838 Fifth Ave., N. Y. 21, has added another title to its "Jews In Distant Lands" filmstrip series-Morocco. In 64 good color photographs we get an informative and interesting documentation of the present status and situation of the Jewish communities in Morocco's larger cities. While for 20 centuries the Jews of Morocco have had more oppression than freedom, more inter Edijcatioaal ScreeiN anu AuDiovisi'AF, Guide — August, 1961 m fILM OOCIOftS^ SPECIALISTS in the science of FILM REJUVENATION RAPIDWELO Process for: • Scratch-Removal • Abrasions • Dirt • "Rain Send for Free Brochure rapid "■ounded 1940 17-02C 27th St., Long Island City I .
