CATALOGUE OF FILMS 123 PRIVATE LIFE OF A CAT 3 reels, sound. $6.00 a day The family life of a cat, including a sequence showing the birth of five kittens. The care and training of the kittens, the role of the male cat in the family group are charmingly described in a film of excellent photographic quality. For children of junior-high-school age or older. PROBLEM CHILDREN 2 reels, sound. $5.00 a day (Ohio State Mental Hygiene Service) A film about two children, Roy and Jimmy, in the seventh grade of an American public school who present special problems for the teacher. Roy is active, athletic, but restive, a show-off, and a bully. Jimmy is shy, lacking in self-confidence, passive, and pushed around. The techniques employed in helping these children, the family back- ground, and the relationship between school and home are shown. The film makes the plea that there are problem children because there are problem homes, schools, and communities. PROBLEM DRINKERS 2 reels, sound. $4.00 a day (MOT) Here is the story of what has been done to date by such well-known organizations as Alcoholics Anonymous, the Research Council on Problems of Alcohol, and the laboratories of the Yale School of Alco- hol Studies to control alcoholism and have it recognized as a disease. The film describes an alcoholic's downfall and his rehabilitation. It shows how he slips from "moderate" drinking into uncontrolled excess, how he is slowly rehabilitated, and his ultimate recovery. PRODUCTION OF FOOD i reel, sound. $2.50 a day (Guide) (EBF) The production of food requires land. Land is therefore our basic natural resource. Only one tenth of the total land surface of the world is suitable for farming. The film shows the process of photo- synthesis, the primary foods (rice, wheat, sugar, etc.) and their geographical location on the world's surface, the secondary foods (meat, dairy products, fish, etc.) and their relationship to the primary foods which are required to produce them. More foods of every kind are needed, and the film lists some of the ways in which production may be increased.
