Guided and Miss Guided
Could you sit down hard on a glacier eighty feet thick - and smile? The sweet young mountain climber in this picture has her own methods for getting up on jagged crags and towering peaks. But she gets there triumphantly - and smiles, smiles, smiles! That's how the film was commercially presented. The girl was a young tourist lady who buys a sweet mountaineering costume, hires two Swiss guides, and embarks on an ascension to Mount Assiniboine. A story written by Katherine Hilliker and produced by C.L. Chester in cooperation with Outing, 'the magazine of all outdoors'.

Where the Stone Dropped
Created in the Victorian era to widen the mouth of the River Tees for shipping, South Gare is a man-made peninsula extending four kilometres into the cold North Sea. Today, the industry it was built for has gone, but the Gare remains as a haven for all sorts of unexpected communities - kite-surfers, photographers, bird-watchers, scuba-divers and the people who simply appreciate its strange, lonely beauty.
Georgian Bay to Winnipeg
From the shores of Lake Huron to the prairie capital of Manitoba is an interesting trip. Scenes shown are motorboating amid the Thirty Thousand Islands that dot Georgian Bay; fishing in the long reaches of the celebrated French River; the lovely scenery on the north shore of Lake Superior, which you touch as you travel toward Winnipeg; the biggest grain elevators in the world situated at Fort William in Ontario. Judging from the size and number of these granaries which dot the landscape, one would think that the entire wheat crop of the world could easily be stored away in this one particular spot. One sees at Port Arthur, Ontario, a genuine bowling green, an outdoor bowling alley, the like of which have passed away many years ago. The gate of old Fort Garry, which was all there was of Winnipeg in 1821, is still to be seen, as well as the first locomotive in western Canada, which arrived by river steamer in 1877 and which is now enshrined in the middle of a grassy lawn...
A Time to Die
Created by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, "A Time To Die" teaches an age-old lesson about how alcohol and boating don't mix, and can have catastrophic consequences. The film begins with two male friends, heading out to water ski on a sunny summer day. The pair consume high amounts of Budweiser beer throughout the day. At the end of the film an accident takes place costing the life of one of the boys. This film was created with the intention of showing viewers the dangers of operating machinery while under the influence, especially vehicles and boats. It is relevant to note some of the footage is considerably graphic. The film has no credit sequence per se, but seems likely to have been created by students at the University of Nebraska's Speech and Dramatic Arts Dept.
Kayak
A non-narrated view of the sport of kayaking. Slow-motion sequences with men and kayaks twisting through rolling rapids and gliding over placid lakes are intercut in this film to capture the excitement and beauty of the sport. The film is not designed to teach skills. - acmi.net
