On the village street we find Trudi Naegeli and her brother Hans, who often linger in the village to see the tourists arrive. On their way home, they stop at the shop of a village woodcarver, and with them we see a figure of William Tell and many carvings of the cattle so important to these people. Inside the store, they ex- amine clocks of all shapes and sizes. When they arrive at their home, they converse with their grandfather and grandmother about the tourists and about plans for tomorrow. The conversation is in a German dialect common to Switzer- land. Preparations for tomorrow's trip far up the mountain side, where the village cows graze, are begun. As they eat lunch, they listen to radio music from the outside world. Father Naegeli tends the village cows. Every day after milking, he makes cheese in his mountain hut. The children's older brother helps his father with the work. Brother is seen, harvesting hay. Early next morning, mother, Hans, and Trudi start for the upper pasture. Up they go, past the family vegetable garden, along the path lined with flowers which leads to the summer pasture. "They pass other villagers harvesting hay. As they rest before the last steep climb, they view the snow-capped peaks of the Alps. At last they arrive with their fresh supplies, and their news of the world. A picnic meal is enjoyed near the hut "An excellent film for use in the elementary schools. Good commentary and excellent photography."
