NU-ART FILMS, INC. 145 West 45th Street, New York NAVED Reports on Current Developments The National Association of Visual Education Dealers iiad planned to hold its annual meeting in St. Louis in coiniection with the convention of the American .Asso- ciation of School Administrators but upon the cancella- tion of that convention by the Office of Defense Trans- ]5ortation. called a meeting of its Board of Directors in Washington February 14 and 15. A meaty 20-page bulletin, issued to the members of the .Association by Mr. D. T. Davis, Secretary-Treasurer, reports on the business tran.sacted at that meeting, and the activities of the W'ashington committee in bringing to the atten- tion of different government agencies problems of the visual education industry, and ways and means for further cooperation in the war effort. The NAVED has become an influential factor in the visual field and has made a valuable contribution to the Home Front offensive in its service to the Government and users of visual aids. The .Association has a membership of 115 selected distributors from 39 states. Mr. Floyde Brooker. U. S. Department of Education, has solicited information from many sources concerning the projector needs of all schools for the next year or two. His department has com])iled this information and it is now in the hands of VV.P.B. With this information they have made an appeal to W.P.B. for an allocation of materials for the manufacture of 1900 16mm sound projectors, and 1600 slidefilm projectors. The X.WED is urgently endorsing this appeal, as shown by the exchange of correspondence reproduced in the bulletin. One of the problems with which this Association is vitally concerned is the maintenance of 16nim projectors so that every machine in the country can be kept in efficient operation for the maximum utilization of films for war training and war information. It is consequently urging the granting of priorities not only on motion picture projectors hut on ]3rojector parts as well. .A report has been furnished the Photographic Division of \\'.P.B. by Association member Richard F. O'Xeil of Visual Education Service. Boston, submitting an estimate on the number and type of amplifier tubes that would be required to keep 16mm sound projectors operating in the war training program. Advice from government head(|uarters has been to the effect that no difficulty will be experienced in having the glass tubes in production, but the metal tubes will probably be taken by the Armed Forces. The matter of jirojection lamps has also been taken up to ascertain their availability. No priority is required but due to the limitations on lamp manufacturers as to the types of lamps they may produce, a shortage exists. The N.A\'ED announces that it will make an annual award to the individual in the United States making the greatest contribution to the cause of Visual Edu- cation for the year. This award will be made next year at the animal meeting of the A. A. S. A. An outstand- ing committee of national educational leaders will be appointed to '.'etermine the winner. Following are the new officers of the N.AVED: Mr.
