D.C. Titled It's Your Decision — Clean Water, the 14 ',2 minute, 16mni film was initially shown to representatives of government agencies, national trade associations, and conservation and women's clubs. It's Your Decision — Clean Water was produced by Wilding:;, inc. and is being distributed nationally by Association Films, Inc. Co-sponsors are the League of Women Voters and the Soap and Detergent Association. The League is currently studying water resources as part of its community improvement program, while the Soap and Detergent Association represents an industry that has just completed a $150 million changeover from "hard" to "soft" materials that readily "break down" after disposal under adequate sewage treatment. Technical assistance and guidance in making the film was provided by the Public Health Service and the Federal Water Pollution Control Administration of the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The public service film attributes the present lack of clean water to three primary sources: people, prosperity and products. There are three times as many Americans living as in 1900. Not only do these people draw more water for personal use, but a wide variety of equipment used in today's "better living" utilizes tremendous quantities of water. I'inally, in the last 20 years we have created six times niore pollution per individual than in pre-World War II days. The use of renovated water (water that has been used and treated for re-use) is pointed up as an important potential added source in It's Your Decision — Clean Water. The film states that only 33 per cent of our population is today served by secondary sewage treatment plants which are "compact, efficient, modern adaptations of nature's own methods of purifying sewage and restoring water to better quality." Various kinds of waste treatment in use today are illustrated and evaluated in the film. The M}.JJ>0 l.ii;li( |Hr icMi oj tlie nation's people si ill (lischarfic untreated raw sewage from .Kcwcr stj.'ilcrns into our streams. film stresses, however, that in the final analysis the decision to have good sewage treatment and control of pollution rests with responsible citizens who make their interests known by voting for modern sewage treatment. • * * + Mass Innoculation Urged to Halt Smallpox in World Health Picture ■sV In today's world of rapid intercontinental travel, no one is safe from the scourge of smallpox unless he is vaccinated, states the new film. Smallpox: Merciless Traveler. Using animation, the 17-minute, color motion picture underscores the worldwide need to eradicate the dreaded disease by mass innoculation. It was produced by Czechoslovak Film for the World Health Organization and is available for purchase from the Center for Mass Communication of Columbia University Press. The film traces the history of smallpox from its appearance in ancient Egypt, as verified by the pock-marked face of Ramses V, to the most recent scare in the United States in I9(il. Vivid, stylized animation depicts its march across the centuries — first with nomads, then with invaders, explorers and crusaders and today with jet travelers. Smallpo.x: Merciless Traveler portrays Jenner's successful use of cowpox pus to vaccinate against smallpox and the slow adoption of his methods in countries throughout the world. The recent case of Eugene L. who brought smallpox into this country in 19.58 dramatically illustrates the need for mass innoculation. The film points out that the threat of an epidemic in any nation is real as long as there are countries in the world where the disease remains imchecked. • DOUGLAS ;.
