Several thousand feet of motion picture film were avail- 

 able for use by television stations in Ontario. 



A set of ten one-minute television shorts were prepared 

 for distribution to Ontario television stations covering 

 various activities of the Department such as reforestation, 

 new type water bombing planes, nursery operations, timber 

 scaling, training hose and pump crews, water fowl, tree pol- 

 lination, provincial parks, and litter prevention. 



Further work was completed on the two films started last 

 year, one on recreation in northern Ontario and one on 

 logging safety. 



Radio and Television. Radio and television stations through- 

 out the Province have been most generous in their dona- 

 tions of free time to the Department, and District offices 

 regularly take advantage of these opportunities to reach the 

 public.
