Thurc+ore, thr new t~spanding andiovisual scene should he no exception. The first, sequences in the new series of audio-visual clinics have bectr J)t+ ~)ared by The C. V. Rlosby Company of St. Louis, Missouri, and will be available irt the Dalla,s meeting, augmenting the Library R.ental Program. Subjects havcl been selected and approved by the Audio-visual Committee of the C’ouncil on Orthodontic Education of the American Association of Orthodontists. In order to provide a, program of con~tinuing audio-visual education, t ht. Association will offer these clinics on an annual subscription basis. In addition to two 7 minute patient-educat.iorr films, the orthodontist can solcct any two of six scientific clinics being offered the first :-ear. Five of the first six clinics are 15 minute presentations, and the sixth funs for apJ)roximateI>. 70 minutes. These arc trchnicall~ accurate films, written by mctnbcr*s of th(b Association, and t,hey are being produced by professionals in the audio-visual field. The Audio-visual Committee is very enthusiastic about their tt’chrri(~al VScc~llcncc and their \.alue as an effecbivc method of continuing professional and patient education. This entire series is produced in full color on $5 mm. single-frxrne sountl filmstrips. They are shown on a TV t.ypc of filmstrip viewer which is complctt4)automatic, once it is start,cd.

Roth are 7 minut,e films which carefully avoid mention of itrty J)articnla.r orthodontic tc~ctrnique. The films are designed to r*(‘inforce the orthodontist’s case presentation and to tell t,he story more caotnpletcl! than can be done in a verbal cspIanat)ion alone. An assistant, can show fhcl films while the orthodontist proceeds with other work. The first sis scientific clinics to be offered are as follows: “Roentgenographic by ( ‘cphalotnetrics” by Cecil C. StcinPr: “Thr Rationale for Serial Estrartion”
Warren R. Mayne; “Abnormal Tongue Function” by Robert E. Jloycrs; “~1 Modified Johnson Twin Archwire Technique” by Faustin N. Wcber ; “The Jise of Light Differential Forces in Orthodontics” by Joseph R.. Jarabak; :rrr(t ” I,imited Orthodontics” by T. BI. Graber. These film clinics are very reasonably priced at $25.00 for each 45 minrrtc scientific film.
