EDUCATIONAL FILM CATALOG 334-339.1 Heritage we guard— Continued The film concerns the damage to soil and wild life that accompanied the winning of the continent by westward migration; the value of such life and current activities in restoration "A concise, enlightening survey of the wild life of this country and its value to our well-being. Good continuity." Fred- erick H. Scantling el-jh-sh-c-adult 334 Cooperation Consumer cooperation in Sweden.

The film proceeds to trace briefly the history of Kooperativa Forbundet, the manufacturing, wholesal- ing, organizing and educating society of which the local cooperatives are members. Then appear scenes illustrative of the various activities of Kooperativa For- bundet: some of the many manufactur- ing plants, the correspondence school, the architectural bureau, the specialized school of Var-Gard, and samples of the local co-op stores which serve the people of Sweden. The last section is devoted to the housing cooperatives, and deals chiefly with the buildings and methods followed by H.S.B., Sweden's largest housing co- operative. Throughout this unit an at- tempt is made to show not only the coop- eratives themselves, but the significance of the movement for the people of Sweden Also available in color (16-si-sale apply; rent $5) 336.26 Smuggling Pound foolish. 21min 16-sd-rent $10 TFC 336.26 ALSO AVAILABLE FROM 16mm: Ohio A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production.

The photography, to use Hollywood, is superb. . . The titles are very clever both from a technical and pedagogical viewpoint. The subject is most authentic and presented in a very interesting manner. The editing is unusual for this type of film. . . They can profitably be used in History, Geog- raphy, Civics or Activity Groups studying. Transportation, Government Agencies, Mu- nicipal Agencies, Tariff, Public Health, Safety, Water Travel, First Aid and Com- munication." Committee on classroom films "We first accompany the customs and immigration ofl!icials on their round of duties as they inspect ships in the harbor ar- riving from foreign ports. We feel the nervous excitement of passengers and crew actually undergoing the scrutiny of the conscientious officials. Word has been re- ceived that a ship from the Orient carries illegal goods. The U.S. Customs calls in the U.S. Coast Guard to help. Each per- son on board is thoroughly searched. The ship is examined from bow to stern. . . The United States Customs officers super- vise the discharge of various kinds of freight and passenger luggage. We see the examination of the luggage as it i» opened, searched, and checked. Excitement is added by the discovery of a contraband bird-of-paradise smuggled in a suit-case. Last, we accompany a very attractive Japa- nese girl—an American resident—through the entire Customs inspection."

It considers the problem of capable men thrown out of jobs because of high-speed machinery. It gives an idea of what it does to the spirit of a. man and of the effect on a family. Finally it offers as one solution the constant train- ing of adults to keep them abreast of new developments ready for new and better jobs sh-c-trade-adult 339.1 Poverty Wild boys of the road; excerpt.

Jobs are not to be had, and attempts . on the part of the wandering youths to establish themselves are met with forceful' eviction. Brought before the court because of an innocent involvement in a hold-up, one of the boys accuses the judge of com- mitting him to the reformatory because the- judge, like all the others, is unwilling to- face the problem which these homeless-- children represent."
