creates, such as loss of salmon stock, the difficulty of bringing out 

 timber from forest areas above huge reserves, and the lack of plan- 

 ning of some large dams. The film concludes with a section on water

Preserving and rebuilding are two of the basic ideas of conserva- 

 tion. This film selects a family mother, father and young son 

 as identifying factors in introducing the significance of conserva- 

 tion. Through the boy's walk in the woods we get an abbreviated 

 but cogent history of man's misuse of the land. With the help of 

 his father the boy demonstrates one of the first principles of con- 

 servation, which is to prevent a campfire from spreading. The film, 

 although short, manages to touch upon most of the problems that 

 face conservation-minded people today, and, although generalized, 

 it is still an appealing and accurate introduction for young students.

This story of bird migration begins with the spring brooding 

 season. Summer brings the education of the fledglings. In autumn 

 the training maneuvers begin, and the migration south starts. Aerial 

 photography details mass formations as they start south. Ground 

 photography picks up details of individual birds. Telephoto lenses 

 used through reeds obtain unusual effects as the birds pursue the 

 flyways. 



The hunters wait with patience and fortitude. About 400 feet 

 of exciting hunting montage taken from the ground, superbly 

 photographed. 



It is emphasized that the birds pass over this hunt "in abund- 

 ance" and win their way to the southern areas. The whole cycle is 

 to be renewed again as they start their journey north. 



A cycle of life with depth and emotion, with the exception of the 

 artificial introduction of the hunter.
