One by one, each of the group is killed.

A classroom visual study kit for a unit on the United Nations Charter. Suitable for Grades 7 to 12. Produced by Young America Films, Inc. Running time, 8 minutes, plus time required for 80 frames of slidefilms. The film is 16 mm sound, black and white. $30 for complete kit. The film, which is accompanied by a teacher’s manual and two filmsiides of forty frames each, presents a simple approach to the problem of a world federation of nations. The reasons for the UNO and the set-up provided in its charter are ex plained briefly in the movie. The manual is an elaborate brochure of 44 pages, with many illustrations and three diagrams of the UNO organization, functions, and personnel, together with utilization suggestions. The first slidefilm unit deals with the needs and purposes of the charter; the second, with its organization. It would be useful to add a unit on the necessity of establishing international laws in place of the present doctrine of national sovereignty, which recognizes no world authority capable of checking an aggressor nation. SAFETY BEGINS AT HOME. Classroom film for Grades 4 to 6. Produced by Young America Films, Inc., 18 E. 41st St., New York 17. Running time, 10 minutes. 16mm sound, block and white. Released 1946. $25. This film helps the child to avoid various safety hazards in the home — explaining how to use a jack knife, how to use a step-ladder, how to avoid accidents on cellar stairs, how to handle electric cords, how to light a gas oven, how to handle hot pans, and where to keep poison medicine. The film is an excellent one, but one wonders why the final episode changes the point of view from that of the child to that of the parent, by showing that poison medicine should be kept on the top shelf of the medicine chest, out of the reach of children. A guide to the utilization of the film accompanies the reel, which is one of the first made by Young America Films. ★ ★ ★ Puppefoons Go Chaucerian The Canterbury Tales are the basis of a series of Puppetoons planned by George Pal. “Chanticleer, the Cock,” one of the famed Chaucer’s characters, will provide the framework of the first.
