this state through motion pictures al
q very nominal cost will soon be avail.
able, II plans which are now beina
worked out by the Extension division
OF the University Of North Dakota are
successfully completed, it is an.
nounced by Prof. Albert H. Yoder, di.
rector Of the work.
Through use OF q narrow film. about
half the regular width, the division
Will be able to furnish schools
churches and other groups cinema
productions which have educational
and entertainment value, according to
Professor Yoder. Rental which will
cover only bare expenses will be
charged. Projectors, screens and 9TH
er necessary factors in a movie pro-
duction will be purchased by the
schools or groups at cost bordering
on 500. This expense. says the d.
rector, can be easily met by schools
through entertainments, and 1t also
can be reduced by donations from
parent-teacher groups or other COM
munity organizations. Previously,
explains the director, when the reg
ular sized film was made use Of. the
cost proved too much of burden for
most organizations.
The new film, which was perfected
only recently is Is millimeters vice
and will contain as much information
or views In 400 feet as does the regu-
lar IS nm. film in 1000. feet. A view
Of 30x40 is cast on the screen.
Both educational and entertainment
features can be secured, it is an
nounced. OF the former type some Of
the pictures listed include an 18-reel
set Of pictures dealing with nature
study, q six-reel picture describing
lives Of American statesmen and q
nine-reel study Of general science.
Geography, electricity and voca-
tional guidance are other subjects on
which film studies have been made.
May Circulate Protector
Entertainment pictures in the small
size include such features as "The
Covered Wagon" The Man on the
Box" THE Forbidden City" 1.-THE
Americana" and many other hits
which have been and still are popular.
Another plan, which is still tenta-
tive. calls for the purchase of small
type protector by the extension d.
vision. This machine, 1t is announced,
would then be rented out to groups
DESTROYS Of 1t. Rental rates for the
films. as announced, are: One reel,
one day, -; one reel, two days, So:
and one reel week, S.. This rate is
less than half that charged for the
regular size films, and the express
charge, which has to be met by the
renter, also is proportionately reduced.
For these reasons, explains Profess
sor Yoder, the small film and its pro-
jector are being put forward in pref
erence to the regular-sized reel. How
ever, he explains, the regular IS nm.
reels will still be available for those
them.
The new machine, 1t is announced. |
IAN be operated with little practice |
and. as the films are fireproofed.
here is no danger of a blaze being
started by the outfit.

nunication with the extension de-
oartment at once.
