A 35-mm, Sound Film Strip

SUBJECT —-ORGANIZING FOR COMMUNITY SAFETY.

PURPOSE —To stimulate the interest of individuals and organization members in the development
and support of local traffic safety programs.

SYNOPSIS —Through a series of pictures with accompanying voices, the film stresses the urgent
need for all citizens of a community to organize in a united effort to ‘“‘do something”’
about the tragedy of mounting motor vehicle deaths and disabilities. Bob Parker and
his wife discuss the accident situation in their own town, and through their respective
clubs help to start a community safety program. The film portrays various educational
activities that may be undertaken in developing such a citizens’ program; and the
Mayor, in a radio address, tells of the engineering and enforcement work of city
officials which was encouraged by the citizens’ safety movement.

SUGGESTED USE —For meetings of safety councils; chambers of commerce; automobile clubs;
service organizations; women’s clubs; patriotic, fraternal, and other groups interested
in promoting traffic safety. It may be used to supplement talks on safety, newspaper
publicity, and other measures being taken by a local organization to secure the interest
and backing of the community in a traffic safety program. The running time of the
film is about 10 minutes.

ADDITIONAL AIDS IN DEVELOPING A SAFETY PROGRAM—Will You Help, a four-

page leaflet based on the film strip and stressing the need of organizing for community
safety, is available for distribution at the time of the film showing.
A booklet for local organization members, entitled How to Promote Community
Safety; suggestions for obtaining local publicity; material for addresses; posters for
