Mrs. Mary Lou Plugge, Chairman of the Department of Speech and Dramatic Arts at Adelphi College in New York, finds her Norelco 'Continental' tape recorder an essential tool in speech instruction. Says Mrs. Plugge, "My NORELCO tape recorder is valuable to me for a number of reasons. There is an impressive tone quality in its reproduction of sound. Concomitant with this is the aid of the mechanical pause button which allows me to stop to analyze progress ivithout turning off the machine." The NORELCO 'Continental' is a product of North American Philips Co., Inc., High Fidelity Products Division, Dept. 1S4, 230 Duffy Avenue, Hicksville, Long Island, New York.

This is a good filmstrip for high school students and for adults; it can be usckI to provide a base on which to hold many discussions alx)ut economic trends, and what this means to our American way of life. The Seaiviiy (single strip color; produced by National Film Board of Canada, and available from Stanley Bowmar Co., 12 Cleveland St., Valhalla, N. Y.; $5). The great new waterway of the St. Lawrence River means much to both Canada and to the United States. This strip shows how and w] the waterway was constructed wl was involved in the great engineering operations, and what the completed route means to trade and to pleasure travel. Diagrams and photographs give us a clear picture of the route followed, the geographical features encountered and changed as the work proceeded, the great dams and locks which were created as part of the new seaway. An interesting presentation, and one with valuable material for use in world geography and social science cla.sses. The Story Of Yankee Whaling (3 strips, color, with book; also record; produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica Films, 1150 Wilmette Ave., Wilmette. 111.; $19.90 for strips and book; $3.9.5 for record; .see catalog for other ' price combinations). There is probably no more fascinating story than that of the role played by the great' Yankee whaling ships and their crews in the development of our country. In this instance the book is the excellent' American Heritage Junior Library edi-' tion; the filmstrips give us the story olt Life Aboard A Whaler, Whale Off^ and The End of Yankee Whaling. Thei illustrations have caught something ofi tlie spirit of the great days, and therei is a feeling of sincerity and integrity to the entire presentation. People andi ships move through the story as actors in a drama, and the great whale isl always kept before us as a motivating force. The story is well told visually and the material can be used many times over. We like the combinatioD of filmstrip and book resources as i means of providing plenty of material to meet pupil interests and needs. io>i KniirATinivAi SrnEFiv Aivn AiminvrsiiAf. CiiinF — Aprii. 1961
