BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York -IUPII- The audio visual field is one of many reaping in substantial bene fits from the rapid rise of education in this country. There is no doubt that education is big business. It has the largest facili ties of any Henry Odontoid U.S. industry, and total expenditures run around $20 billion a year. In the first 12 years after World War II $18 billion was spent for new schools and equipment, compared with $13 billion for new plants and equipment in the steel indus try. American Investor maga zine says all expectations are for greater sums to be allo cated for education since there are more children to teach, more knowledge to be im parted and more people of all ages interested in learning. This impetus, the American Stock Exchange publication notes, has been spurred furth er. by grants and scholarships from foundations, corpora tions, associations, and unions, Eimong others. There is more emphasis on education today than ever be fore, and the emphasis will be greater tomorrow. The de mand and the need are for better and faster education; the latter because great strides in recent years mean there is much more to learn, according to the magazine. This is where the audio visual field comes in. The in vestment in this field has been more than $2.5 billion since the end of World War II, The industry's annual dollar vol ume was $255 million in 1958, $287 million in 1959, and more than $300 million this year. And since audio and visual aids speed learning, the maga zine says, their most dramatic use has been in education. Films are a basic part of teaching today. It is pointed out that be tween one million and 1.5 million prints of thousands of classroom films now are being used. There are more than 200,000 motion picture projec tors in school rooms, and this figure is expected to jump to two million by 1970. The day when a film was used to amuse children has passed. According to the magazine there are 250 producers of educational films in the Unit ed States alone. The largest is Coronet Instructional Films, a division of Esquire, Inc., fol lowed by Encyclopedia Bri tannica and McGraw-Hill. ., Coronet began operations In 1839 after years of research on the kind of films needed by schools. Today it turns out 66 films a year, and has a total of 950 films in its library (270 directly or indirectly deal with science). The subjects range from the atom to dating etiquette. Coronet's films are designed almost entirely for elemen tary and high schools, because "that's where the volume is." There are 150,000 elementary schools in this country, 25, 000 high schools and 1,000 colleges. The films are occasionally sold singly, but more often in packages, American Investor points out. The course has a lot to do on how many films are needed. For one course in biology Coronet offers a pack age of 50 films, and for one in elementary science there is a package of 108 films. ' Because of the demand for accuracy, production is an ex acting business, the magazine explains. Although most films run only 10 to 15 minutes, production costs average more than $1,000 a minute, and more .than 200 people may work at intervals durine 18 montns on a single film. The films are sold to schools for $60 a print in black and white, and $110 in color. Motorists Reminded of Fall Driving Hazards requires meir use iiun - hour after sunset until a half hour before sunrise, or at any other time when there is not This is the time of year when leaves falling from trees can create a driving hazard, Medford Chief of Police Charles Pi Champlin remind ed residents today. Champlin said when leaves become rain-soaked they can cause a driver trouble, espe cially if he should apply his brakes quickly. The "wet leaves" hazard is but one of several drivers en counter this time of year, he said, and noted that there is also the return of rainy and foggy weather, and increased hours of darkness. All of these hazards, the chief continued, call for a change in driving habits from summer, and failure of driv ers to make the change is re flected by the fact that Oc tober, November and Decem ber generally are the three highest accident producing months of the year. . Some fall driving habits drivers should acquire in clude: 1. Turn on headlights ear lier in the evening. The law enough light for a driver to see clearly for a distance of 500 feet. 2. Use headlights, not park ing lights to drive in fog. 3. Pump the brake pedal to stop on wet streets or on wet leaves. ; Portland - IUPD - Depart, ment Commander Merrill E, Johnson, Portland, will head Oregon's delegation to the rational American Legion convention later this month.
