An increased schedule of black and white film production is planned at East Texas State Teachers College, Commerce, Texas, according to Dr. W. W. Freeman, director of Audio-Visual Instruction. "Our agriculture people have taken some films of exhibits, especially of cattle and other livestock. The idea is to show some points in the breeds and to iearn to judge these in any animal," Dr. Freeman said. "We process color slides, teach use of cameras, and provide films, filmstrips, and slides for agriculture teachers in 21 counties of the state," reported Dr. Freeman. "To our general A-V evaluation of school films, radio education, nucnssd basic photography courses, we likely shall add advanced courses in preparation of motion pictures and filmstrips and also A-V aids for agriculture." WORKSHOP • Continued from Page 169 PAPER TITLES — NO TITLER While walking through a dime store I noticed on display, boxes of paper letters, and numbers in lots of 250 for only 10 cents. They were gummed on the back and will stick to almost anything. Not having a titler, I used the following method to make my titles I stuck the letters to the back of a chair, just moistening the glue at the very edge of the letter, so that it remained attached to the background, yet could be removed very easily. Then, when the title was arranged as required, I filmed it, using a steady tripod to line up the letters. After a few feet had been exposed, my wife blew gently, and the letters fell off the background, one by one. The titles turned out beautifully, and I received manv compliments on the professional looking job. — ^Bj Thomas Alasino, New York.) FILM CEMENT FORMULA A simple cement formula which can be made up very easily is offered here to Home Movie readers: Acetone.__ 20 cc Chloroform (anaestethic grade) 4 cc Acetic Acid (glacial — no other!) 2 cc Mix the acetone with the chloroform, and then add the acetic acid. Into this solution place a piece of clear film, two inches long (if it is 16mm), or a piece four inches long (if it is 8mm). To save time, it is advisable to cut the film into small pieces before placing it into the solution. Store the cement in an amber bottle, keeping it tightly sealed. Avoid leaving the bottle in bright light, and do not leave the brush in the bottle. Remember to clean the splicer carefully after use, and oil lightly. — (B> Nelson Bairstoue, Orillia, Ontario).
