Comments, Questions, and Answers terpretations concerning general health and medicine with which many of our deaf trainees had been living for years. The Beck and Tomasetti article, though more scholarly than it needs to be, is a very important contribution to literature about deafness. I hope it will start a turn-around in this area. Joanne Greenberg Denver, CO COMMENT—Beck and Tomasetti {Annals, December 1983) imply a dearth of captioned films on CPR. Currently available from the Captioned Films program is the film entitled "CPR for Citizens" (Pyramid). This 25-minute film demonstrates, through models, animation, and live action the process of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Airways, breathing, and circulation are shown as the ABC's of basic life support while demonstrating one rescuer CPR, two rescuer CPR, and CPR for infants. Approved by the Special Materials Project and recommended for captioning is the film "Anyone Can Do It!" (Filmfair Communications). This film has a different approach in showing that the teaching and learning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation need not be dull or didactic. With an encouraging, yet nonauthoritarian narration, instructors dressed in the simple costumes of mime performers demonstrate the "shake and shout" technique, clear the airway, mouth-tomouth resuscitation, hand cardiac compression and other life-saving techniques. The result is a brief but comprehensive presentation of CPR that is both informative and memorable. "Anyone Can Do It!" will be made available through the Captioned Films Program during the 198485 school year. "CPR for Citizens" is currently available to all CFD account holders through the Indianapolis Film Library.
