921.929.9 EDUCATIONAL FILM CATALOG 1943 EDITION TYNDALE. V/ILLIAM—Cotitinued "In London, he fails to secure support for his work of translating the Bible. He goes to Hamburg, after obtaining financial support from a weaJthy man. After a year in Hamburg, he goes to Wittenburg, continu- ing his translation, and then returns to Ham- burg to arrange for the printing. "Persecution follows him and he is forced to flee from Hamburg to Worms, where his Testament was completed. The books were smuggled into England, there to be discovered and destroyed after being purchased. In Antwerp, a trap was laid for him by a false friend and he was imprisoned. "On October 6, 1536, he was burned at the stake. In answer to his last words, the King of England's eyes were opened after his death and less than a year thereafter a bible was placed in every parish church, by the King's order. "A good film. Our only criticism is the rather unnecessary lengthiness brought on by the inclusion of so many scenes of modern-day cities where the historical events are laid. Staged scenes are good but scenic shots are only fair."

A brief his- torical introduction shows ten of the more im- portant flags of the United States We see the upholstery shop where Betsy Ross made her flag and Independence Hall in Philadelphia. We learn the meaning of the flags that fly over the White House and Capitol in Washington We see ships from Holland, Sweden, Ru- mania, Denmark, Honduras and the Philip- pines, all showing their colors. The English and French ships, at war, show only one spot of color—the flag. All over the world ocean liners are signalled into harbor by flags—the pilot flag, the medical quarantine flag, the coast guard flag, famous blue Peter. Flags even give the name of the ship in flag code Red flags are the symbol of danger. Weather bureau signals flown by the marine exchange are seen warning all ships headed for rough seas. The coast guard flag rescues a boat in distress relying on the primitive rule of the sea—"Anything flown upside down is a call for help" There are decorative flags, tatooed flags and flags as identification. Boy Scouts signal with flags; a scout master tells the story of flags to his troop and most strongly stressed— Old Glory bids us uphold the ideals for which our flag stands "Beautiful kodachrome color. . . Provides a good general survey which is both interest- ing and instructive. . . The film's chief fault is that it crowds in so much information that people in the audience are likely to fail to remember much that is told them. This could, of course, be compensated for by a follow-up of certain of the more important sections of the film. Excellent film." Secondary educ.
