No doubt both Mr. Hockman and your readers will be interested to learn that the faulty sound recording of Colleen Townsend's voice which he referred to has since been remedied by re-recording. Dale McCulley Associate Producer Cavalcade Productions Park Rid^e, Illinois No Soufhpaw Editor: Was Daniel Boone (Nov., 1950 cover picture) left-handed or did you flop the negative? R. B. Newell Duehrodt, Newel, O'Kane and Gano, Inc. Chicago, Illinois Screen flopped — for art's sake. The KB film pictures sharpshooter Boone as the right-hander he undoubtedly was and probably had to be. — Ed. E Pluribus Unum Editor: We are very happy about Educational Screen's nice coverage of our film E Pluribus Unum (October, 1950, page 354) . . . Thank you not only for Community Chests and Councils but for the many Chests in cities all over the country which will be helped by the interest Educational Screen will stimulate in the film.

People seem to think that because I work with equipment, I should know much about it. Maybe I should, but I don't. Maybe audio-visual people should ignore microfilm completely since it is an individual proposition rather than group instruction. Also, since it is most often a reproduction of a book, we could rule it out of our field by definition. Can some one of Educational Screen's readers tell me what an audio-visual department should do about it? Raymond Wyman Assistant Professor, Audio-Visual Center University of Hassachusetta, Amherst Educational Screen would also appreciate reader eomm.ents. — En. William S. Hodman WKo's Who Edito::: In reading the comments of the "Editor for the Church Field," I am curious to know more about him. What is the educational, religious, and vocational background of Mr. Hockman? Winifred Champlin Chairman, Women's Physical Education Dept, (Jlendale College. Olendale, California Educated at Randolph Macon College {A.B.) and the University of Chicago (A.M. in religious education), William S. Hockman served a Congregational chnrch in Kansas and a Methodist church in Washington, D. C. before coming to his present position as Director of Religious Education at the Lakewood (Ohio) Presbyterian Church in 1928. One of the first to use and promote the use of audio-visual aids in the church, he has served on the staff of many of the audio-visual workshops of the International Council of Religious Education. His book, "Projected Visual Aids in the Church", has been widely used in all denominations. It may also interest readers to learn that January, 1951 is a Screen ayiniversary for Mr. Hockman. In January. 1946 Screen founder and late editor Nelson L. Greene announced the addition to the magazine of a monthly expanded Church Department under tin editorship of "a man widely knovii in the church field and of rare quiih ifications for the work." (Church d( partments under other editors had ii/i^ peared in SCREEN since 1923.) Oiu , the years reader reactions have proved Nelson Greene's sound prediction that "inasmuch as the new (expandal church) department will be concerm d exclusively with the audio-visual idea in education, as is the magazine, our readers in both the school and church fields will find positive values on everij page." — Ed.
