Film Aids Government Nutrition Program A new educational program to build a strong nation by teaching Americans how to win the war on the food front is in full swing under the aegis of the Federal Security Agency. As part of its National Nutrition Program the Office of Defense Health and Welfare Services initiated the educational campaign to teach every man, woman and child in the country the proper use and conservation of our supply of food products. One of the dramatic ways in which this project is being carried to the American public is through the motion picture, "Hidden Hunger," starring Walter Brennan, to be released to theatres by the Federal Security Agency. The two-reel film was officially launched at a preview in Washington, D. C, recently. The picture was produced by the American Film Center at the Fine Arts Studio in Hollywood.
