    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Ready on the Home Front]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[&quot;Produced by Bell Telephone in cooperation with the Office of Civilian Defense, this film shows the ways in which citizens can cooperate in defending their homes. Beginning with a map of Indiana and closing with a proclamation by Governor Schricker, the film shows such precautionary devices as black-out curtains, home fire-fighting equipment, location of a bomb shelter within the home, and cooperation with defense authorities.&quot; (War Films Bulletin of the Extension Division Indiana University, February, 1943, 4) Presents World War II as another example of when Americans have had to take arms to defend their homes. The civilian air defense is shown as supporting the military&#039;s policing of the nation&#039;s borders from air invaders. The telephone is shown to be a crucial way of connecting civilian observers to the military command. Presents a fictionalized account of how the military would mobilize and respond to an enemy bombing raid on American soil. Also presents the work of a fictionalized air warden who trains local residents on how to safety proof their homes and how he waits on phone calls alerting him of a bombing attack.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Supervising Women Workers]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A short from the &quot;Problems of Supervision&quot; series of educational films released in 1944 to aid in the increasing of factory efficiency through the solving of interpersonal problems that reduce the rate of production. In this film, a line supervisor discusses  the challenges of supervising the new wartime workforce of women with his foreman. According to the film, these problems arise out of women not being familiar with technology and technical language.  Solutions to these challenges include a training regime that breaks down factory labor into easy to understand steps, use plain language, define technical terms, and to use tools appropriate for gender. Women are presented as being good at repetitive labor requiring a high degree of manual dexterity. Male factory managers are warned not to get romantically involved with any women workers and are given techniques to deal with the highly emotional nature of women workers. According to the film, &quot;A foreman will always have the eternal feminine to contend with.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[They Also Serve]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This British film from 1940 portrays a housewife on a day like any other. Following a woman going about her business, the film shows a woman who has casually integrated serving the war effort into her everyday routine, from bringing dinner to a neighbor whose soldier husband has returned to growing vegetables to help with the food shortage. The emphasis that little efforts make a difference not only subtly pushes viewers to also make such small contributions, but it also acknowledges and applauds the strength of those left behind. In short, this film takes a break from portraying the bravery of soldiers to showing the bravery of women back on the home front.]]></dcterms:description>
