for ordinary human comfort. Adequate supplies of food and drink
are needed and the addition of a trained nurse, or even a doctor if
the budget is large, is very worth while, for it is on these supposedly
simple expeditions that people choose to break legs and arms, etc.
Although these accidents are often the result of the victim's own
folly, since he, or she, is on duty, the is employer often held liable
and the presence of capable first-aid is a big point in the employer's
favor if the case ever comes to court. It is surprising the silly things
that people will do once they get in the country away from the in-
hibiting city.
One last thought should be left with the reader. A keeper of the
purse should also be appointed and supplied with a goodly amount
of petty cash. It is utterly astounding how many things
are found to
be needed when out miles into a bare country far from the studio
and it becomes necessary to improvise. Also a little palm greasing is
usually effective in obtaining special consideration from keepers and
attendants alike when the usual wiles have failed. It is logical for one
and account for it after-
person to have the money, do the spending,
wards. If this point is not considered it may happen again
that a
location party gets stuck for gas because each member had left it
to the producer "to take care of things like that."
