fabled pasturage. He gives them an eagle feather to help them on their journey. As they proceed along the trail, the grandfather's voice is heard advising them how to interpret the omens they encounter. Every bird or animal has its significance, and even the rock formations represent fables of Navajo folklore. When the boys camp for the night, a raven steals Ziki's eagle feather to line its nest. Ziki fears they will be lost without the feather; so they climb to an aerie to pluck another feather from a living eagle. After they catch a young eagle and pluck one of its feathers, they see the Rainbow of Stone from the height of the eagle's nest. Jimmy says they would have found it by climbing to a point of observation, but Ziki attributes their success to the new eagle feather. Each boy is satisfied with his own explana- tion, and together they lead the tribal sheep over the newly discovered trail to rich grazing lands. This film was prepared to emphasize some of the less tangible goals of science teaching related to critical thinking. Teacher guides are available on request.

Dr. Reed calls for volunteers who will risk their lives in an experiment, and five American soldiers agree to submit themselves to the test. The results proved that the stegomyia was the carrier, and by wiping out the mosquitoes, the Cam- mission eliminates the disease in Cuba. A SCENE FROM YELLOW JACK (MGM)
