When Work is Done

Description	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.
