St. Louis Chamber of Commerce Lends Support to Business Films ♦ If a cheer, loud and clear, from ihe chamber of commerce of an American metropolis can help its (iim makers and sponsors to score, picture making points are already mounting in St. Louis. Convinced it can "be of service to the whole community by encouraging the manufacture, distribution, and use of films which provide for a better understanding of the American economy," the Education Committee of the Chamber of Commerce ot Metropolitan St. Louis has begun publishing a series of folders aimed at school groups and community organizations. As part of its larger program for a better understanding of the American economy, the chamber's Education Committee proclaims: "The past few years have seen an amazing increase in both the quantity and the quality of business films, both those depicting L'usiness operations and those on general community-interest themes, such as health, safety, recreation, and travel." Encourages Better Films "To encourage more and better films, and to provide assistance in making them available and usable." are key objectives of the committee's comprehensive cheer. Alerting the community groups with six direct questions, the first folder asks, "Do You: Need a film for your program? Need information on film sources and costs? Need help in choosing among many offerings? Do You: Know where to inquire for films? Kno\»' what films of local interest are available? FGiow how much information and entertainment may be found in the best of modern business films?"' Awake, the community groups mav scan the folder's handy lists suggesting sources of further information, where to go for films, what good films to see, general catalogues and guides, and a representative log of "local firms active in films." These include such familiar St. Louis names as Anheuser-Busch, Inc., Southwestern Bell Telephone, Monsanto Chemical, the Wabash Railroad, Fouke Fur, International Shoe, Midwest Rubber Reclaiming, Pacific Intermountain Express, Owens-Illinois Glass, Missouri Pacific Railroad, McDonnell Aircraft, .Alco Valve, General Motors, Missouri RolHng Mill, Bemis Brothers Bag Company. Offers Source Information Interested groups are likewise urged to write Eugene R. Page, director of the chamber's Educational I bureau for information. The mes sage also informs its readers that many of the local firms or local agencies of national firms supply their films free or for postage charge only. These sponsored films are usually available in 16mm with sound and brighten assemblies with reel lengths from 10 to 30 minutes each, the bureau notes. Chiefly credited for this periodic cheer is the Chamber's Sub-Committee on Film Information, Radio, and Television, composed of St. Louis leaders Alfred Fleishman, Fleishman. Hillard & Associates; A. C. Hoskins, Al Fresco Advertizing Company ; Waldo P. Johnson, Webster Publishing Company; Otis McInto.-^h, Ralston-Purina Company; C. L. Thomas, Station KXOK; Rabbi Samuel Thurman, United Hebrew Temple; and Raymond H. Wittcoff, Caradiiie Hat Company. Roger Clipp Heads Ad Committee for U. S. Chamber of Commerce ♦ Roger \S".
