sent bureaucracy, the average policeman in our country seems to have lost sight of the missionary aspect of his vocation. As a protector of law and order, his duty is to guide and protect the peop.'e and not to heck.'e and manhandle them. The average policeman behaves like a licensed goonda in uniform and thinks that the rest of the world is full of criminals. A policeman's profession is as great as that of a doctor or a nurse if he looks at it from a humanitarian angle. A policeman should be a friend of the people if he wishes to earn his livelihood honestly.

What have you to say about the Educational Films of
India5
This institution produces very crude films at present. But it is on the right lines and may some day give us good stuff with some educational value. At present, it helps only to educate Ambalal Patel. its proprietor, who missed some education in his childhood.

How does a candid film review help — to guide the film-goers, to help the producers or to improve the contents of our films?
In this country a candid film review does not help anyone because the majority of our filmgoers are congenital idiots; most of our prod cers are unpunished criminals and almost all oi our technicians are still-born pioneers.

If you are b'essed with a frame like Pandit Indra's, that milk is your necessity. But if vou are carrying weight like me on the body and the mind, you need mental relaxation.
