4 6 FILM LIBRARY Government, hundreds of boys are apprenticed to garages, machine shops, and distributing trades. Charlie and his friends prove that, given the training, they are able and willing to make a job for themselves. CATTLE AND THE CORN BELT (U. S. A.—Middle West) 2 reels, sound. $5.00 a day (United World Films) Producer: Louis de Rochemont Associates Director and Photographer: Leo Seltzer The Middle West plays an important part in producing the country's meat supply. Here are the cattle buyers and the packing plants, but the cattle business begins in Montana and Wyoming on the cattle ranches. The film shows the annual roundup, the branding, and the shipment of cattle in the fall to the farmers in the corn belt where they are fattened for market. In the Middle West we are shown the Olsen farm, equipped with up-to-date machinery, which receives a shipment of western cattle. The farm produces corn, soy beans, and hogs. Bob Olsen, the son of the farmer, raises a calf and wins a prize at the county fair in the fall. A typical shopping center devoted to the farmers' needs is shown. CHALLENGE TO DEMOCRACY 2 reels, sound. $3.00 a day (OWI) This film tells the story of 110,000 displaced people—Japanese-Ameri- cans evacuated from the Pacific Coast in 1942. The basic necessities of life are provided by the government, but the film does not blink at the crude and inconvenient surroundings and the struggle of these American-Japanese to make a decent life. The situation of the minority group shown in this film should stimulate discussion on the moral, political, and economic problems involved. THE CHANGING COTTON LAND (U. S. A.—The American Southeast) 2 reels, sound. $5.00 a day (United World Films) Director: William A. Colleran Photographer: David A. Reeley In this section of the Southeast cotton and tobacco have depleted the soil over a long period of time and the damage done is now being slowly repaired.
