]■ TOT very long after the U. S. Marines W drive the Japs out of some South Sea isle, a 16mm. projector goes into action with Filmosound Library films, to ease the taut nerves of strong fighting men with America's Number One recreation — the motion picture. The Filmosound Library is proud to provide film entertainment for our men in the combat zones, and for those on maneuver training in the U.S.A., but this is not our only war job. The "home front," too, needs 16mm. movies. So the Filmosound Library has "enlisted," for the distribution of all the many types of films that our government looks to for help to win the war. All government films are being distributed by the Filmosound Library on a below-cost, nominal service charge basis, as a part of our essential war effort. Films like Winning, Your Wings, in which Lieut. "Jimmy !« Stewart stars and narrates, show our people what army life is like for those many thousands who are being trained to fly our war planes. Films like Salvage, narrated by Donald Nelson himself, keep our people advised of the most critical civilian war jobs. Our library does the same job for our fighting allies, wherever the government agencies representing the United Nations make similar typ's of films available in this country. Thus we have about 200 British films, ranging in contents all the way from front-line action to better methods of gardening.
Understanding of the peoples and countries on our side in this struggle is most helpful to morale. A series of Filmosound LectureFilms has been prepared by our own editors, on such headline lands as the Caucasus, Liberia, Hawaii,

Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, Mexico, Poland and others. These films, usually taken on Bell & Howell equipment, by prominent explorers and travellers, are often narrated by the man who took them.
Finally, the various types of skills essential to the industrial and home fronts are also taught by the Civilian Defense and Industrial Defense (USOE) Training pictures, our own Sarnoff first aid series, and our "Victory Gardening" releases.
Whatever may be the nation's need — if it's movies, we meet it.
