Then it is shown how, because of these chemical bases, grasses and coal or oil may be transformed into substitute materials. Clothing materials are also analyzed, so that rayon and other synthetic products are explained. Excellent for all biology, general science, and beginning chemistry groups."

The film opens with views of laboratory apparatus as the narrator states that the chemical laboratory is in the vanguard of modern progress. "First, a realization of chemists' dreams is shown in Neoprene. . . Next, liquid-repellent fabrics are demonstrated in a dramatized skit. Fire-retarding agents, useful for women's dresses, are demonstrated. "To make rayon, cellulose sheets are shredded, liquefied, and forced through spinnerets, wound on spools, dyed, and woven. A West Virginia plant which makes Nylon is next shown, with a brief explanation of raw materials and some of the methods. In a hosiery mill, the Nylon thread is knitted into women's stockings. Other uses of this 'product are shown in the making of brushes and fishing line. The Lucite plastic ... is demonstrated. We also see furniture and other household articles made of this and other plastics. The flLn ends with scenes of girl models in their synthetic dress and using synthetic furniture. as the commentator emphasizes the value of chemistry to our life. "An excellent film for use in chemistry and physics classes; should have some value for social science classes, and should be very effective in general showings, at the junior high level and above. Of limited value also in elementary grades. The film makes effective use of color; photography and sound are good. . . In a few scenes models appear clothed in undergarments and bathing suits; some schools may consider these scenes unsuitable for their showings. For that reason, it is recommended that the film be screened by faculty members before being exhibited to students."

Workers are seen in their home environment and also taking advantage of the many social activities and recreational facilities available "The stages of manufacture are carefully depicted with the necessity for eternal vigilance revealed as much on the rapt faces of the workers as by the safety devices and rigidly enforced rules."
