Cooperative League special contributions from member organizations for this desig- nated project. HISTORY: The film program began in 1938 with the production of a film for the League, and production has continued through the years. Ex- tensive use has also been made of Swedish, Danish, British, and Canadian cooperative films. The expanded use of films by mem- ber organizations has led to the establishment of their own film libraries within this period, and to the coordination of plans for film production. In addition, members have produced their own films when some specialized interest of theirs, such as oil refining or lumber mill operation, have made this advisable. FORECAST: An increasing use of visual aids is anticipated. It is expected that films will be produced more frequently. One is scheduled for 1954. There is also expected to be a wider use of filmstrips and of color slides. League publications will continue to report devel- opments in the film program.
