NATIONAL FILM UNIT
HIS is the orange season and into * New Zealand are coming thousands of cases ,of oranges from the Cook Islands. The National Film Unit has made a film of the handling and transporting of the fruit, entitled "Oranges," which will be released on August 1 in Weekly Review No. 309. It shows the islanders picking and sorting the fruit, putting it into gas chambers to shrink the skin for better preservation, and packing it into cases. These are loaded into small boats which have to negotiate coral reefs to reach the ship waiting in calm waters to load the fruit for the New Zealand market.
