Ecv± an Films for OWI Campaign Programs The Office of Program Coordination of OWI co- ordinates the various media for the dissemination of information—radio, newspapers, magazines, and movies —and channels their releases to promote the campaigns of most importance at a certain time. Many of these campaigns are of contiimiiig importance and attention is given to them continuously, with special emphasis during certain months—such as tin can and waste fat salvage. Others receive emphasis only for a short time and then the necessity for promoting them passes. One of the continuing campaigns is that of impress- ing upon our people the importance of food as a war weapon. Special attention is being given to this sub- ject this month, which has been designated Food for Freedom month. One of the services of the Bureau of Motion Pictures, Office of War Information, is to correlate the 16mm motion pictures released by the Government on war subjects with the other OWI media employed in these informational programs. To this end, the Bureau has released an e.xtensive list of "Food for Freedom" 16mm films offering a wide selection of films suitable for use in that campaign. In addition to the food campaign, Recruitment is em- phasized in November. To recruit women for the WACS. WAVES. Marines, and SPARS, the film Coast Guard Spars is recommended. For other films on recruitment, consult your local recruiting offices. Other vital subjects will be stressed during the months to come. Don't Travel will be emphasized in December. Films which will aid in discouraging un- necessary civilian bus and rail travel are Right of Way and Troop Train. Two continuing campaigns also will receive emphasis in December— Security of War Infor- mation and Farm Production Goals. Films selected to discourage careless talk are: Safeguarding Military In- formation. All Hands. Dangerous Comment, Nozv You're Talking. Among the many motion pictures w^hich can be utilized in the farm production program are: The Battle Is in Our Hands, World of Plenty, Farm Battle Lines, Home on the Range, Farmer at War, Henry Browne. Farmer and Salute to Farmers. Schools should take a leading part in this work by promoting films related to these campaigns and urging groups to plan their programs for the respective months around the particular campaigns for that month. An- nouncements of subsequent programs and film sug- gestions will appear in the monthly issues of the News- letter circulated by the OWI Bureau of Motion Pic- tures to its 229 distributors, from whom the films are available.
