The book, which has just been placed on sal© by the National Council of Teachers of English was produced by Mr. Finch and Miss Eleanor D. Child, audiovisual sup ervisor of the Greenwich, Conn., Public Schools. Mr. Finch .is head of the English department of Green wich high school. Developed under the/is^nsorship of the Council’s Cominiftee on Stand ards for Motion Pictures, the book promises to aid and stimulate the making of motion pictures in the schools.

The publication, which is a man ual for school film makers,- has chap ters on the organization of school production groups, the choice of film idea, the writing of the scenario, the buying of equipment, the use of equipment, filming the picture, ad vanced techniques, and final prepar ation of film and showing. Each chap ter is followed By questions a ad suggested activities for film groups. The text is illustrated with seventy- two pictures that show school film makers at work and point out film ■techniques. A glossary of terms, a bibliography on movie-making/ and a detailed index add to the useful ness of the book. The names of the schools and colleges that have re ported production activities are in cluded also. 'Producing iSohool Movies” was published by the University of Chi cago Press, Chicago, 111., for the Na tional Council of Teachers of Eng lish.

' Pleine Crash Kills Man; Doctor Hurt Marriner Succumbed to Skull Fracture; Dr. Preiston Reported Opining One man lost his life and another was critically injured Friday in the first major flying mishap to occur in the county seat vicinity, when the Cub Coupe owned by Dr. J. Louis Preston of Salamanca and Phillip T. Champlin of Little Valley struck nose down in a farm field a mile north of Five Points. The dead man is John N. Marriner, 27, Salamanca confectionery store manager, who died early Saturday morning in SalUmatica City Hospital of skull fracture. He also sustained compound fractures of both legs, lacerations about the face and body and possible internal injuries. Dr. Preston, who was piloting the plane, is in Salamanca City Hospital,, now on the road to recovery. His left foot was amputated and he also has compound leg fractures. Attend ing physicians said Wednesday night that Dr. Preston is expected to re cover and that he will be able to re sume bis important work as surgeon and physician. Mrs. Fred Wilkins, only witness to the accident, anthorized the fol io-wing eye-witness account. “Mrs. Henry Wilkins tost, noticed the plane circling high above her home. It continued flying around and again attracted her attention when it’s motor stopped, a t that time the airplane was still high. The plane' was headed east and made a large circle flying to the horth, then hack west losing altitude. When the plane was almost directly north and headed west of the spot where it crashed the plane turned south again. Shortly it turned for a shoft distance and suddenly - ^ the ground acting as though it had been tripped up. The plane was about the height of the apple trees when it went down. All the time it made this cir cle the motor was silent.” Mrs. Wilkins heard a call for help from 'the plane, -and rushing to--it- found Dr. Preston conscious. He asked her to get him. out. ,ahd about this time a neighbor reached the wreck. ' They saw thb pinned men could not he removed without tools, and' there being no telephone within t-wo miies, Mrs. Wilkins look her car and rounded up neighbors to aid. phe obtained Carl Emke, who brought a hacksaw with him, George Causebrook, W illis. Cross, John, Harold and Henry Wilkins, Herman Buelow, .lohu Bernhoff and William Blottner. The men were able to.,cut away the wreckage and. remove' Mr.. Marriner, who never gained cour, sciousness, and Dr. Preston who re mained conscious. ■ - - Leaving the men at work, Mrs.' Wilkins drove to the airport at Liir- tle Valley, and there arrangements, were made for a physician and am bulances to rush to the Manley. Farm field where the crash occurred. Mr. Marriner was himself a flyer with about nine hours of solo flight time logged. Holder of a Student’s Temporary Certificate, he made his first solo flight August 7 and was developing into a pilot of ability. •The crash occurred shortly after five o’clock Friday afternoon on the Manley farm about a mile from Five Points, in the town of Mansfield. The plane carrying the two Salamanca men struck the ground in an open. Mil-top field less than 190 yards east of the gravel road Which runs north from Fi-re Points, an intersection on the Little Valley-Eddyyiile highway, to Loomis Corners, on the Maples- Otto Toad. Dr. Preston : was attempting n forced^landing in the field after his motor apparently had-failed, a -wit ness said. The plane' cleared a roW o2 apple trees On the east.sMe Of the road and. was gliding in for a landing when.it slowed up and suddenly dived into the ground. It was about thirty feet in the air at the time: The tip of the left wing and the nose of the plane smashed into the ground, breaking off the propeller and driving, the motor hack into the tiny eabin where Dr. Preston and his passenger were sitting side by side. ‘ Dr, Preston was' rushed to the Sal amanca'hospital in Middleton’s am bulance and' Marriner was brought there in McKenna’s ambulance of Salamanca. -.^\‘Memhers of the sheriff’s depart- thetd a i ^ were snmmoned attd guard ed the wreckage until the arrlyal of N.

Mr. Kohlmeier, it is said, will make a brisk campaign for the mayoral- ity and his friends are confident of his election. Supervisors John Donovan of the first ward, and John J. Taylor of the fifth ward of the City of Sala manca wei^o^ re-nominated without opposition, in the primaries aud it is expected they will he returned to - '/ the 'Cbunty legislature for the edm-' *' ing two-year term. ' ' In Glean, 'William Quinn of the .. first ward, W. Robert Wagner of the third ward, John J, Handley of the fifth ward, and Michael Ldwa of the ninth ward again reeeived the ap proval of their party votei^ in the [recent primary and their re-election seems assured. In the Townships, the present su pervisors were re-nominated as fol lows: Dayton, Verne Seeber; Great Valley, Byrne .HaUoran; -Little Val ley, Charles J. Smith; Humphrey, James Devine; Hinsdale, 'H. Glenn Hogue; Red House, Leon Gafr; Gtto, Vernon L. 'Charlesworth; and Carroll ton, Vedder W. Clark. In a county as overwhelmingly Republican as is Cattaraugus Coun ty the election of a Democratic can didate to the Board of Supervisors is plain evidence of the outstanding - qualities of the man selected. This is certainly so of the Democratic candidates for supervisor selected for re-election in the various town- ‘ ships and the two cities. With Ml of the Democratic candidates for Sup ervisor selected for re-election it seems a foregone conclusion that they will be returned to Little Val ley for public service during the . next two years.
