He stopped to see "the fun." Someone on a soapbox was shouting "down with this — and down with that" and then a stone was thrown through the factory window. Jerry would have gotten into the brawl that followed, but Mike, a policeman and friend of the boy's grandfather, took him home in "protective custody" After a stroll Gramp and Jerry sat down on the City Hall steps to chat. The old man knew the town when it was just a "vacant lot." He recalled the time when Manson came to the little settlement seeking a factory site. He saw the factory constructed— and the town grow up around it. He told Jerry how every man, woman and child has a stake in the success of that factory. Jerry learned some American fundamentals and was grateful "Actors in this film greatly increase student interest in the story of a small town and the influence of a factory to this community. Grandfather, after discovering his grandson to be participating in a protest against the factory, relates the history of the factory, and tries to show how the income of this plant has made possible much of the life that today exists in the community. Film should be most stimulating for introduction to the field of interdependence of peoples " J Frederic Andrews Chicago loan Ken 35c MontS 7I5 Tree planting HOW TO PLANT A SMALL SHADE TREE. lOmin 16-si-color-loan 1940 Davey 715 Jh-sh-adult This color film is available only east of Kansas City A number of homes shaded by trees are shown first.
