U.S. War Department Special Service Division]]> U.S. Signal Corps]]> 1942]]> During the War, people from rural parts of the country moved to cities to take advantage of new jobs available at factories, shipyards, and other plants. This film promotes ways toward a healthy transition during wartime as these new communities expanded and grew. "Showing how the people of Sylacauga (Ala.) provided recreation for war worker who had come to work and live there." ("Current Film News," Educational Screen, December, 1943, 404). By highlighting this community as an exemplar, the film demonstrates how to welcome new members of a town, be it at work, at lunchtime, or in after work recreational activities such as dances, sports, and more.

It is explained that gas may not destroy cities the same way bombs do but rather its intended purpose “is to spread fear and panic, to destroy our morale, and cripple our war production.” Viewers are told that their best form of defense is to be prepared and know what to do after an attack.]]> Clorox Chemical Co.]]> Filmedia Corp]]> 1943]]> U.S. Army Pictorial Service]]> 1944]]> "Shows where our 120 million acres of wet land are located. Points out that 78 million of these acres will serve us best if left in their natural state for the production of timber and the preservation of wildlife. Thirty-one million acres are shown to be suited to farming if properly drained. A section of the film illustrates briefly the principal types of water control and methods of land drainage. Through the use of these methods, farmers, working together, can improve drainage on land now being farmed, and bring into production land that is now too wet for any production at all. Recommended audiences: Farmers in Atlantic Seaboard and Gulf States; Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri Valleys" (Motion Pictures of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1945, 46).]]> United States.
