Page 280 The Educational Screen This film of an industry at war has a place in your visual education program We have heard much of the conversion of Ameri- can industry to the manufacture of war materials. It has been a gigantic task—a task which the dictator nations did not beheve we could or would do. How many of us, adults and students alike, can visualize what that task involved—what went on in a plant when it started to manufacture bm- oculars instead of refrigerators, gun mounts as well as turbines? This timely film shows how the electrical indus- try, for example, was able to convert its enormous resources to war production in record time. It is a dramatic story of the more than one hundred thousand men and women of Westmg- house and the things they are making to help wm the war. More than a Westinghouse story, how- ever,—it is the story of a great key industry whose job is not only manufacturing equipment for our armed forces, but also equipment to turn the wheels of all American war production ... wheels which are turned almost solely by electrical energy. Everyone who sees this picture and hears John Nesbitt's stirring narration will realize more clearly why we are fighting . . . appreciate more fully the magnitude of the task the war has im- posed upon American industry and how effec- tively that task is being done. his and other films are loaned free to schools, Write to School Service, Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., 306 Fourth Ave., P.
