In keeping with these objectives, two field cameramen have been routed among the various national and State parks for the purpose of recording CCC activities and other items of interest in those areas, including scenic and educational features of the parks. Approximately 95,000 feet of negatives have been exposed, and the following silent motion picture subjects have been released: A Day in Virginia Camps 1 reel Winter Sun and Summer Sea (Florida) 1 reel Saving the Beauty of Alabama 1 reel Evangeline's Haven of Peace (Louisiana) 1 reel Outdoors in the Garden State (New Jersey) 2 reels Veteran of Three Wars (Fort Frederick, Md.) 1 reel A Forest Playground (Patapsco State Park, Maryland) 1 reel Morristown National Historical Park 1 reel Glimpses of National Parks I 1 reel Glimpses of National Parks II 1 reel Glimpses of National Parks III ½ reel The following synchronized sound subjects have been released: Winter Sun and Summer Sea (Florida) 2 reels Outdoors in the Garden State (New Jersey) 2 reels Running Water (Geology) 1 reel Source: Demaray to Fechner, March 16, 1935, RG 35, NA.
