"One must enjoy a great deal of fun in building and flying the midget airplanes. Not the rubber-band motors, but the real one-cylinder petrol engine with radio control. We witness the construction and flying of the miniature craft" PSA Journal, Nov. 1960, 42.
"The rose, a young girl, so proper, and so elegant in her royal dress, jewelry and jeweled crown. The weed, also a lovely girl, simply dressed and scorned by the rose. By scissors the rose is cut and its petals picked away to the delight of the weed, but then a gloved hand pulls the weed and leaves it to die in the sun. Can it be that some do not like weeds?" PSA Journal, Nov. 1960, 42.
"Wildflowers and desert life of some of the birds and small animals have called many but few have captured the beauty with such ease and grace. There is an intimacy with all the creatures as we watch them feed and play and the birds nest in the cactus, feeding and training the young. Those who live with and appreciate the desert will be delighted with this gem of a nature film" PSA Journal, Nov. 1960, 39.
"There are establishing scenes of the tugboat Carol Moran at dock in New York Harbor. We move aboard for an acquaintance with the captain. A call via radio comes from the dispatcher and very quickly the tug puts out for deep water. We are on the boat and live with the crew the experiences of a routine assignment, each of which must be just a little different. There are many things to see on these assignments and our cameraman has time for us to look. Carol has safely brought her mistress to dock; mission completed, Carol returns to her berth to await the next call. We have been part of a cycle of duty complete with the sounds attendant such a venture" PSA Journal, Nov. 1960, 39.
"A story of two bad guys on the loose and three others on their trail in the dry desert. We move over the desert floor and into the hills for some gun play. The need for water is so pressing that the fight centers about a canteen of water which becomes the center of no-mans-land. The bad gys meet their fate and the canteen is empty from bullet holes. The actors do a credible job in a chapter from a "Western" PSA Journal, Nov. 1960, 40-41.

"We remember Jack's Prelude to Spring a few years ago in which he dealt with time lapse photography. In Floral Capers he introduces the equipment he uses in time lapse photography and how he does it in one easy lesson. We watch flowers go through the opening cycle, vines racing up a pole, grasses, plants, and flowers racing ahead in their growth, split frame emphasizes the stimulation of light on the growth of plants. We watch many interesting events in the life of plants, and some amusing ones" PSA Journal, Nov. 1960, 40.
"A shorty, filmed and cut to the fast tempo of the recording I've Got a Wife. The pace of the film is so fast that we, too, can be out of breath in four minutes. A delightful novelty and well done, with a squeeze at the end" PSA Journal, Nov. 1960, 40
