"We have won widespread recognition re-cognition with the outstanding 16 mm. color films of fish and game in Utah", said Director Ross Leonard. "Now the commission commis-sion is asking Mr. Kay to soundtrack sound-track copies of his best films already al-ready produced as well as new films in production in order to fill all booking requests." It was explained that demands for Mr. Kay's lectures have outgrown out-grown the department's ability to meet them with a statewide itinerary and at the same time allow time for new production. Accordingly, he will be given assistance as-sistance in editing department bulletins; conform his school lectures to schedules and areas where he is booked for civic clubs, service clubs and wildlife units; concentrate on producing new films. Mr. Kay is at present producing produc-ing a new color film on natural history subjects for national distribution. dis-tribution. It and another, yet to be produced, are expected to be available next fall.- It is hoped that several copies can be sound-tracked sound-tracked for booking by schools with 16 mm. sound projectors in addition to requests that can be filled by Mr. Kay's personal lectures, it was explained, "Our primary purpose in developing de-veloping our education program is not publicity. Rather it. is to educate and inform the public regarding conservation problems and our game management program, pro-gram, as well as to tell coming generations and sportsmen of the wonderful scenic and wildlife advantages ad-vantages within the State of Utah." Utah's unsurpassed fishing and hunting resourses constitute free recreational advantages worth milions of dollars which should not be overlooked by Utah's leaders ih planning a new economy econ-omy that will keep its young people at home rather than seek ing more remunerative occupations occupa-tions elsewhere, Mr. Leonard declared. |
