Educators and religious leaders will more than ever need to use care to avoid being swept into the position of using films just for the sake of showing a picture instead of confining them to their proper use in an educational program — an aid to understanding and a stimulus to thinking related to a given subject under consideration." Animated Reel for Exam. To illustrate a talk about the Battle of Tannenberg, that was part of his examination for an R.O.T.C. Second Lieutenant's commission. W. Graham McKelvy, ACL, class of 1940 at Princeton, constructed an enlarged map of the battle area, painted pieces of cardboard to represent each corps and spent ten hours filming the progress of the battle by single frame animation. The production, in 16mm. color, lasted only ten minutes but provided him with a visual resume of his talk, which presented so vivid a picture of what happened when the Germans and the Russians met in 1914 that President Harold W. Dodds and Professor Albion, of the History Department, persuaded him to make a similar, though more elaborate, film of the Battle of Princeton fought during the American Revolution. Scenes of the actual terrain and features of the battlefield will be combined with animated flat maps and a relief map in this picture. Toy soldiers will be animated to illustrate troop movements. Mr. McKelvy has been working on this film during the summer and hopes to have it completed before his senior year commences. Incidentally, he passed the R.O.T.C. examination. Fish Hatchery Operations The Mahoning County Natural Resources Council has engaged Billy Knox, ACL. of Youngstown, Ohio, to make a 400 foot. 16mm. color film of the work of each of its fifteen different societies. The first picture, now completed, illustrates restocking lakes and streams throughout the country, mainly with ten pound bass. Included in this reel are scenes of the hatchery at Meander Lake, where one quarter of the new stock was presented to the State. The second film in the series has been commenced and will concern wild life preservation. Movie Shows Egg Profits As the feature of its exhibit at the World Poultry Congress in Cleveland last summer, the Poultry Department of the University of Maryland showed a two reel, 16mm. sound film depicting its research and educational activities. Produced by Business Films, Inc.. of Washington, D. C, the film describes the difference between old and new methods of obtaining eggs, justifying the title, Bigger Earnings from Better Eggs. Cameraman for the project was Marshall Faber, ACL. of Washington, D. C. Why Metals Fracture First of a series of 16mm. analytical and educational films to be made for the American Society of Metals is a reel concerning metallic crystals, now in production by Reid L. Kenyon, ACL. of Middletown, Ohio. It will show, among other things, that metals fracture not because of crystallization, but because of fatigue failure. When completed, the film will be screened before groups of the society's members and will also be offered to engineering schools. The next production will concern the types and uses of metallurgical tools. Swedish Missions Use Movies In West Khandesh, India. Fredrik Franklin.
