MEDFORDJSfe Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1957 8 Pages One Segment of Motion Picture Industry Experiences By ROBERT G. SHORTAL United Press Correspondent New York flfl One seg ment of the motion picture in dustry has been experiencing a real boom. The boom firms are the 250 companies making movies for government agencies and for in dustrial companies that make products ranging from rtomic reactors to light bulbs. Production of these films has blossomed into a robust 100 mil lion dollars a year business. The movies are seen by an estimated more than 40 million viewers a week. These movies are used for a wide variety of purposes as educational aids in schools, for examining new manufacturing and sales techniques, for ex plaining child care to mothers or for recruiting men for the armed forces. The Standard Oil company (New Jersey) alone has more than 500 films in its worldwide library. They run the gamut from drilling oil to taking a trip in your car. Many television stations make wide use of these industrial, or sponsored, films. The list of firms using such films reads like a who's who in industry Ford, General Mo tors, Pan American, Union Car bide, General Electric, New York Central, Shell Oil, Armour and hundreds of others. Trade associations such as the Ameri can Petroleum Institute of Bitu minous Coal association have used films to tell the stories of their industries. Judd Pollock, president of MPO Productions Inc., one of the "big three" producers of in dustrial films, said that after years "of instability and a high mortality rate the industry has come of age." "Developing out of the talents of a hard-core of documentary film companies, an artistic area Man Loses 'Betr With Lloyd's Firm Central Islip, N. Y. W A man who "bet" Lloyd's of London S720 that his wife would give birth to her third set of twins has lost. John J. Power, whose wife,i Mary, has had two sets of twins in their four and one-half years of marriage, took out an $8,000 insurance policy with Lloyd's early this year when he learned he was to ' become a father again. At roughly 10-1 odds. Power paid $720 premium, confident of a multiple birth. Wednesday, she had a 10 pound boy, thereby shattering chances of collecting the $8,000. " Power, reached by telephone today at home where he was caring for the two sets of twins, said first: "I can't hear you. The kids are making too much noise." But when asked loudly if he planned further children, he said, "Sure." Power, who makes $4,200 a years as a i.urse at Central Islip State hospital, said he did not feel badly about losing the $720, or more than two months salary. Originators WITH JACKSON HOTEL BUILDING IN CONNECTION WITH THE FIDLER-MACKENZIE AGENCY 122 East Eighth St. Phone SP 3-3922 Tribune Big Boom which never gained widespread acceptance in this country, the sponsored film industry is now firmly entrenched as an adver tising, sales and public relations medium," he said. Pollock noted that many of the films made for industry are strictly for internal use in training production workers or salesmen, for - reviewing com pany activities at stockholder meetings or for improving em ployee relations. Others are made specifically for public consumption. Pollock said The American Cowboy, a film made for the Ford Motor company, has been seen by more than 50 million people in the past five years. The Petrified River, a movie about uranium made for Union Carbide, was viewed by 15 mil lion people, in its first year. Pollock said the cost of these films often averages around $60, 000. However, the cost' per view er has run as low as .0027 cent. Industry isn't alone in the trend toward movies as a me dium of communications. The armed forces have made wide use of films for training and re cruiting. Schools use them to help children learn geography and history. Government agencies and de partments also are active in the film field. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a film called "The Good Egg." Narrated by a magician, it shows the many ways of preparing eggs. The U.S. Weather Bureau has one about hurricanes. - Many states also maintain film libraries covering scores of subjects. of Prepaid Metiical and Hospital Care NEW OFFICES LOCATED !N Miss DeHavilland Credits Yoga For Keeping Her Slim, Beautiful By VERNON SCOTT United Rress Hollywood Writer Hollywood (IP Olivia De Havilland, back here for the first time in two years, credits yega for keeping her slim, trim and beautiful.
