Chil- dren dance in the sun which is a natural factor in the production of Vitamin D. Other scenes or activities in the sun are shown. A chart shows area of ultra-violet rays. Scenes follow to show that modern living conditions reduce the Vitamin D benefit of the sun. Less ultra-violet light is available through the winter months; this is pictured in snow scenes. Poorly balanced diets endanger health; a poorly fed family is seen eating. A bowfegged baby demonstrates poor bone formation due to lack of Vitamin D. Poor teeth may also be caused by deficiency of Vitamin D. "We see rats which have rickets. X-ray photographs reveal the calcium deficiency in the rachitic rats. A normal rat is shown beside a rachitic one. Foods in which Vita- min D is found are shown. A variety of commercial forms of Vitamin D are dis- played in boxes and bottles. A baby is fed cod liver oil. A small boy gets halibut liver capsules. The rachitic rats are fed cod liver oil and six weeks later great improve- ment is shown. X-ray photographs reveal the deposits of calcium after Vitamin D is added to the diet. We see that special glass will transmit ultra-violet rays. Special lamps can also be used to supply ultra-violet rays. The Vitamin D content of milk can be increased by adding Vitamin D concentrate. Milk is irradiated by ultra-violet light. Vitamin D is added to cattle rations. Another fam- ily is seen eating; these are healthy looking children and grownups. Shots of outdoor games el-Jh-sh Guide We and our health.

After the title "We discuss the foods we eat" the child holds a tray with food on it. Some children, in class, decide to ex- periment with white rats. Then we see that they get the rats, prepare cages for them, care for them and feed them on dif- ferent diets. We see charts comparing the results of the diets. Diets are changed somewhat and charts shown to prove that immediate improvement was shown where it had been indicated as desirable. The children weigh themselves, study their text- book and again we see the tray of "whole- some lunch for a growing child." The film is suggested for use in teacher train- ing by the Library and visual service divi- sion of the Pasadena city schools "A study by elementary school children of the values of different kinds of foods. . .

Com- mentary directed by Lee Dick and original music score by Fred Stewart Some comments of the Committee on motion pictures of the Department of sec- ondary education follow: "Extremely ef- fective presentation of important social problem In the dust bowl and farming re- gions of our country." "Thrilling and en- lightening. Pitiful, and beautifully done." "I hope this picture will be seen by all schools to inspire an adjustment of condi- tions as they really are." "Represents splendid material for school use, either shown in school or theatre. Gives discus- sion material." "Propaganda disgustingly overdone. Emphasis is tiring and boring.

Then the picture shows how men are carrying on a never-ending bat- tle against this insect menace. The chief weapon is poison, and in the following scenes poisonous compounds are sprayed and dusted on crops and fruit trees from pressure pumps mounted on trucks and from lowsweeping airplanes. That other violent poisons are useful in other ways is shown. There are disinfectants, fire ex- tinguishers; and cyanides are used in ex- tracting gold from its ore and for harden- ing steel. Five members of the alcohol family,— methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, and amyl,— are then introduced, and the various proper- ties they have in common are demonstrated in laboratory scenes. The uses of these alcohols in industry are depicted. But the members of the alcohol family are poisons, —that is, they interfere with the growth and development of living tissue. This is demonstrated by showing the effects of alcohol and strychnine on growing seeds as compared with the effects of plain water. Dr Robert V. Seliger, psychiatrist at the Johns Hopkins University, is intro- duced. Speaking directly to the audience, he claims that total abstinence from alcoholic beverages is the only way to combat suc- cessfully the poisonous effect of alcohol on the mind and body Jh-sh-c-adult si - silent; sd • sound; f . inflammable; nf - safety; p - primary; el - elementaiy; jh • junior high; sh - senior high; c - college; trade - trade schools 84
