Accident Preven tion Film
Available To Groups Here
P o r 1 1 a n d "Mrs. Hazard's
House", dramatic film on child
accident prevention, iskavailable
to parent-teacher associations,
service clubs, church groups and
other community organizations
for showings at their meetings
during the coming year, accord
ing to an announcement by
Miss Janice Westaby, home
safety consultant for the Ore
gon State Board of Health.
Miss Westaby said the depart
ment has - obtained several
prints of the 16 mm sound film
on permanent loan from the
Prudential Insurance company
of America, but that demand
for the film makes it advisable
for groups to book it as far in
advance as possible.
The safety film is made avail
able by the health department,
along with literature, posters
and speakers, if requested, as a
part of its year-round "child
safety crusade", aimed, at reduc
ing the tremendous toll of child
ren who are killed and crippled
by accidents in the home area.
Featuring both live action and
animation, the film was created
by one of the country's leading
documentary film producers and
has won several awards for
merit. It features Reed Hadley,
star of television's "Racket
Squad" and "Public Defender"
as narrator.
The film was produced under
the supervision of Harry F. Die
trich, M.D., of the department
of pediatrics of the University
of California at Los Angeles,
who also appears in the film. It
is designed to explain to parents
how they may prevent child ac
cidents in the home which each
year kill more than 12,000 child
ren and cripple 50,000 more.

seeing the film may obtain it by
