Show FIGHTING TWO EVILS. Who has eyes, let him look. Who has ears, let him hear. Two new weapons wea-pons for use against two threats to the lives and pocketbooks of our people peo-ple have just been released by the j National Bureau of Casualty and Surety underwriters. These are the i bureau's visomatic talking picture : productions, "Death Takes No Holiday," Holi-day," and "Stop That Thief!" The first deals with the motor traffic problem and has been prepared prepar-ed as a guide for the accident reduction reduc-tion activities of civiq groups ', throughout the country. The second exposes to public view the fraudulent accident claim racket. Both pictures present their story and their message in fifteen minutes, and are adapted to presentation before be-fore any-sized audience. They are talking-sl.'de-f ilms, dramatically integrated in-tegrated pictures with the voice accompaniment ac-companiment recorded on synchronized synchroniz-ed discs. "Death Takes No Holiday" por trays compactly the whole traffic safety problem and seeks out the basic cause which it accurately defines de-fines as "You, the average person, not only when you are driving but when you are walfc'ng." It depicts by a vivid method the way in which automobile au-tomobile accidents most commonly occur. It describes the automobile safety work that has already been done and the organizations actively engaged. It presents what must be done and how it is to be done, a comprehensive com-prehensive program which is "up to you," aimed at the vitals of the automobile au-tomobile accident evil. "Stop That Thief" outlines how the fraudulent claim racket has grown from a negligible status to the point in 1930-31 when thousands of claims had the taint of suspicion on them. The picture describes in detail the way fake claim rings work and the economic and social consequences to all business and to all individuals. It tells what the insurance companies j and the police are attempting to do I and shows what groups and persons working together can do to rid so- ciety of the cancer of fake and frau-; frau-; dulent claims. ' There is not a community in the entire country wrhich does not desire I to take action against the haunting menace of death, injury and destruction destruc-tion on the street and highway. ; Every community should be willing i to extend itself to crush those para-! para-! sites in its midst who make a rat-like ! living on money they extort from j their honest fellows. I Many times in both cases the only lack is a force that is at once moti-i moti-i vating and cohesive. These pictures ihope to fill this lack. They can and are intended to be used to arouse a community through showings to interested in-terested groups to take concerted ' and determined action. Only in such a way can the rising i curve of automobile deaths, which in ! 1934 touched a new and awful high I of 36,000, be turned downward. Only in such a way can the grasp-! grasp-! ir.g hands of the fraudulent claim i ; racketeers be kept from the millions j i of dollars which they dishonestly , appropriate to themselves every year. 1 j .
