INDIAN HANDICRAFTS The Story of the Moose Hide, 800 feet, 16mm. Kodachrome, filmed by the Reverend Louis Roger Lafleur, O.M.I. , ACL, tells, step by step, the processes through which the moose hide is taken by Canadian Indians. Included in the picture are scenes of the hide during tanning and curing over smoke and the processing which makes the leather pliant for use. Some delightful and interesting shots show Indian women cutting moccasins without pattern, stitching them by hand and working them with highly colored beads. The interesting handiwork is then taken to the trading post to be exchanged for the necessities of life. The film closes with a sequence in which the finished products, including gloves, moccasins and vests, are shown. FIRE FILM When fire breaks out, moments are precious in saving property and life.

Made specifically for 16mm. sound projection equipment, the film, in black and white, is completely educational. No manufacturer's products are displayed as such. Emphasis is placed on "how to do" in the non-technical script of the movie, with specific case histories shown step by step. Most of the cinematography was done under actual working conditions, and it effectively shows the values of proper lighting for a wide variety of industrial operations. The film, running twenty minutes, shows easily the greater skill, better production and accuracy of a workman under proper conditions. Too, there is a marked advancement in safety for workmen. The Illuminating Engineering Society, producer of the film, is a technical body organized in 1906 for the advancement of the theory and practice of illuminating engineering and the dissemination of related knowledge.
