scrap materials. The Ministry also shows excellent films known as "Warwork News," which are produced solely for factory workers, and comprise Paramount talkie news pictures linked with special material suited to the fac
tories. These films are on hIre at ten guineas for the 35 mm., and five guineas for the 16 mm., per fortnight, in minimum bookings of series of 10.
Many section's of war work closely resemble peace-time production, and yet are of vital importance, and for these, in particular, the posters, etc., obtainable from the. Ministry, are of exceptional value, as they indicate to the workers exactly where and how the products with which they are concerned are utilized. •
The display is intended to give the special visitors hints on what can be done, and the favourable results are proved by the many letters of appreciation which have been received from many quarters.
The Ministry is also arranging a series of courses for and by works relations officers, and' is actively cooperating with many important concerns in helping to stage such shows at their works.

workers. Certain of the latter are "given opportunities of seeing actual demonstrations of their products at particular sites, whilst in other. cases guns, etc., are taken to the works and demonstrated there.
