CIO FINANCING: The CIO is financed from membership dues. The staff and over- head of the Film Division are carried in the regular budget of the organization. The cost of the film library is partially covered by the rental fees charged. HISTORY: The CIO Department of Education and Research began develop- ment of its audio-visual aids program in 1946 with production of a sound filmstrip. At the same time, it started operation of the film library with a basic collection of labor films. Special emphasis at first was put on building interest among CIO unions in the use of visual aids. As interest in the use of films grew, the Division worked with CIO International unions and state councils in devel- oping their own film libraries. The special concern of the Division now is to help CIO affiliates use films more effectively through selection, previewing, and discussion. FORECAST: We have seen significant growth in the use of films in the CIO. We now have a list of 1,200 CIO people who work on film pro- grams, and through this list we can provide local groups with in- formation on new films that will be helpful in their program of building stronger unions and strengthening our democratic so- ciety. Interest in materials on international affairs has grown in the past two years and will continue to have special emphasis. We hope to see continued growth in the use of labor films in high schools and colleges. THE COOPERATIVE LEAGUE OF U.S.A.
