Extension, whether requested or not, will entail additional rental charges. Return shipments should be carefully packed in the shipping case provided; a return shipping label is provided. Return shipments must be made parcel post. No insurance is necessary upon return. Preventing Damage to Films A number of simple precautions during the projection during the projection of a film will prevent unnecessary wear and tear on the film and avoid embarrassing disturbances to the program. Some of these precautions are mentioned briefly below. The "film gate" of the projector, where the light beam passes through the film, should be thoroughly cleaned with alcohol or carbon tetrachloride. The cleaning will eliminate _fuzziness at the edges of the projected picture and prevent scratching of the film. The film should be installed carefully in the projector. It should fit firmly at each sprocket, at the film gate, and over each roller anP sprocket. Ample slack should be left above and below the film gate area. Adequacy of installation can be tested on many projectors by turning a knob provided for manual operation. Projection should be carefully supervised, and immediately stopped on any sign of malfunction. Itis a useful precaution occasionally to touch the edges of the film as it winds onto the second reel; damage to the sprocket holes which cannot show in the projected image may be so detected. Restricted Showings Some films in the list carry the warning, "SHOWINGS RESTRICTEDsee note at beginning of film list." Any such film is intended to be shown only to advanced classes in psychology; clagses of medical students; classes of nurses in training; hospital or clinic staff meetings; or meetings of psychological, medical, or psychiatric societies. Television Use Some of the films listed may be employed in television programs. Express approval must be obtained in all cases from the distributor listed, and inquiries should be addressed accordingly. 2 5 FILM LIST Abandonment of the
