Article on Overhead Projection Authored by Arnold R. Hansen ♦ The excellent article on Overhead Projection Techniques which appeared in Issue 2 of See & Hear last year should be properly credited to Arnold R. Hansen, Director of Audio-Visual Activities at the Hartford Branch of the University of Connecticut. We are grateful to Mr. Hansen for this out- standing contribution. Malayan War in "Alien Orders" ♦ All-but-forgotten hostilities in Ma- laya provide dramatic material for a new CrowTi Film Unit production en- titled, Alien Orders. Running 11-min- utes, this 16mm sound film shows how the British police find among millions of men communist guerillas ^vith alien guns and alien orders. British and Malayan troops fight with all the tech- niques of a modern campaign against the unseen enemy lurking in the Ma- layan jungle. Work of the guerillas is resisted bv thousands of Malayan vol- unteers who guard mines and planta- tions. The film proves the struggle in Malaya to be no minor skirmish but a war in deadly earnest against a treach- erous enemy. Filmstrip on Atomic Protection ♦ How to Lessen Chances of Injury from an Atomic Explosion is the title of a new single-frame, color filmstrip released recently by the Societv for Visual Education, Inc. Consisting of 45 captioned frames, the film was de- signed primarily to teach pupils in the elementary grades to help protect themselves from injuries caused by atomic bombing. It dramatizes situa- tions at school where a child would most likely be during an atomic bomb alarm test or actual attack. Produced by Alexark and Norsim under the direction of Dr. Alexander Arkatov, the new color strip lists for $6.50 and is available through anv SVE dealer. Service to Education Typical of modern audio- visual dealer facilities now rising in various sections of the U. S. is this new Chicago headquarters of \ ydra Visual (left) which includes projec- tion room, theatre, studios, re- pair department, research, and audio-visual development faci- lities. I^ersonnel includes a complete staff of electronic and photographic workers. National Check-List for A-V Maintenance A SEE & HEAR SPECIAL FEATURE 'T'here's a network of some hun- -■■ dreds of specializing audio-visual dealers across the U. S. and Canada whose business it is to sell and service the many lines of audio-visual equip- ment which our schools find increas- ingly useful in expanding the world be- yond their classroom walls. Not all of these dealers have earned the cherished recognition of their par- ent companies as authorized "service stations." In fact, not all maintain the minimum essential facilities and ex- ])erienced personnel necessarv to main- tain and perform certain repairs within the scope of their regionalized service. Those who do have this fac- tory recognition are among the audio- visual dealers listed in this first com- plete check-list of nationwide audio- visual maintenance facilities which ap- pears on the following pages. Consumer Education Milwaukee's far-famed Pho- toart ^ isual Service, headed hy Roa Birch, showed mod- ern visual dealers enter- prise when it staged an all- day consumer education pro- gram to which representa- tives of Wisconsin schools and industry came in droves to learn about latest equip- ment and a-v methods pic- tured at left and right. It is coincidental (but important to note) that these dealers may also pro- vide special instruction in the opera- tion and care of modern equipment to the schools which they serve. Good equipment will last a long time and save needless replacement expenditure if it is properly operated and cared for by experienced hands. Consult any of the dealers listed in these pages for details of such service. \o intention is indicated here to list these facilities as film libraries, though many of them also maintain such services for school and commun- ity clientele. They also provide spe- cial service in projection rental and will furnish operators and equipment for larger group showings. Keep this list for a valuable permanent refer- ence.
