At the meeting on November 18, it was proposed that committees be formed, such as the ones listed, to carry on the work of the Council : Film Service Committe (Films — previews, etc.). Equipment and Personnel Committee (Equipment and operators). Film Techniques Committee (Proper use of films). Finance Committee and Constitution and By-laws Committee. Members were given a questionnaire listing the types of work to be carried on and asking for statements from the individual members as to which type of activity he or she would be able to assist in accomplishing. At an executive board meeting on December 1, the committees were appointed and the work of the Council has begun. Mr. James Arnold from the University of Tennessee, who is the regional representative of the Film Council of America for Tennessee, Miss Edith Harbaugh, a religious education director especially interested in the use of visual aids in churches, and Mr. Charles W. Winegar, representative of the D. T. Davis Company, are the newly-appointed chairmen of the major committees. Previews of informational films — an hour's program — have been scheduled at the Lawson McGhee Library on Monday evenings. Program chairmen are urged by postal invitations and newspaper publicity to attend these previews. The showings are sponsored by the Film Council. Audio-Visual Materials Promoted At Industrial Arts Convention At the recent New England Industrial Arts Teacher's Convention held at the Hotel Bond in Hartford, Connecticut, audio-visual materials played an important role. Every attempt was made to provide the conferees with an opportunity to see and hear the latest audio-vi.sual material pertinent to the industrial arts teacher. Throughout the two-day convention, audio-visual materials were actively displayed. In the main lobby of the hotel, where registration was held, opaque and slide projectors flashed announcements on the walls and screens. As the men gathered for the luncheon, a motion picture was projected. In the evening at the banquet, commercial exhibits of audio-visual materials were arranged around the outside perimeter of the floor area. A disc recording of the main address was made and presented to the speaker immediately after he finished. Each commercial exhibitor was assigned sufficient floor and table space to give ample room to display his products. Each exhibitor was supplied with materials, such as filmstrips and motion pictures, to project for the conferees.
