MOTION PICTURES ON STATE PARKS AVAILABLE SOON

Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 23 Long: demanded by Hoosier nature lovers, a professional motion picture of Indiana’s state park system soon will be available for distribution, Indiana Department of Conservation officials announced today. The film, being taken with both sound and color, is in production through cooperation with Indiana University. Two widelyexperienced men from the school’s Audio-Visual Center were assigned to the task—cameraman Sol Dworkin and script writer Harold Otwell-—and several members of the Department of Conservation have bet n assisting in the nontechnical work. The project was begun last winter while there was snow’ at Pokagon, and it ended with the famous fall foliage in Brown county, malting possible a film of year around activity, at the state parks. Although tlie* actual camera work is completed, the picture is far from finished, and no requests are being accepted. When distribution becomes possible, an announcement will be made by the Indiana Department of Conservat ion.
