‘Sings the praises of the WPA.
Contents. Activities of the Works Progress Administration (now Work Projects Administration), and work being done on various types of projects.
In the opening sequence, workingmen are shown as the commentator explains why the Works Progress Administration came into existence and something of its plan of work.
The first activities presented are those of road construction. Without an attempt to give information as to processes, general scenes of road construction operations are shown. The commentator explains the need for secondary roads from farm to market as muddy rural road conditions are pictured. The use of local raw materials is suggested in a short scene of quarry operations. Views of graveling operations are shown, and the commentator refers to roads that are being built at centers of attraction for tourists.
The work of the Works Progress Administration in improving city water-supply systems is indicated by scenes of reservoir construction at Atlantic City. The commentator explains that there exists a large group of projects to provide facilities for public gatherings, and there is a short scene of construction work on a community stadium. General scenes show improvements being made at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and construction work on bridges and sewers. The commentator says that there is need for better airport facilities, and the film shows WPA work in building and improving airports. There are scenes of airport construction at Newark, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Scenes of buildings being torn down are accompanied by explanations concerning slum clearance work.
Reel 2 deals with white-collar jobs. Work in the traffic survey is suggested as men are shown making traffic counts. Work to decrease automobile accidents is indicated by views of a girl taking a driving test and WPA workers testing cars. Sewing projects are explained by the commentator as women are shown cutting and sewing garments. Activities in dress designing and textile weaving are shown. As women are pictured working in a kitchen, the commentator says that school lunches are prepared for undernourished children of needy families. A traveling library is shown as the commentator describes the extent of this kind of work. Public nursing projects are presented in a few scenes of nurses examining babies. Braille maps and books are prepared for the blind. Victims of trachoma, a dread eye disease, are taken to a clinic for treatment. In a therapeutic pool for infantile paralysis victims, an attendant aids a child to exercise his crippled muscles. Children are shown eating, playing, and sleeping at a WPA nursery. Adult education activities are shown in a class where foreign-born men and women are learning to read and write English. Vocational training is offered in a millinery class, a tailoring class, and a household arts class. As the commentator explains that the Works Progress Administration cooperates with the National Youth Administration in providing work for young people, girls are shown canning fruit and boys are shown restocking fishing grounds.
Reel 3 presents the work of the theater and art projects. A WPA orchestra is playing a concert. A Negro choir sings. Work in painting is indicated as an artist is shown at work. The murals on the mess hall at West Point and a stained-glass window at the same institution indicate another phase of the work. A commemorative tablet is shown as the commentator tells of the work in sculpturing. Fine work done for museums is depicted by scenes of work on the reconstruction of a Persian ceiling and the mounting of fossils and animal skeletons. The Federal Theatre Project is represented by short scenes from Pinafore, It Can’t Happen Here, and the all-Negro production of Macbeth.
Reel 4 deals with the work of the Works Progress Administration in times of disaster. As flood devastated areas are shown, the commentator explains the activities of the WPA in such emergencies…
Reel 5 shows work in constructing, improving, and maintaining recreational facilities, parks, and places of historic importance. Scenes at a zoo show children watching animals, and playground scenes show children playing on swings, slides, etc…’
Public domain film from the Prelinger Archives, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied.
The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and/or equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original).

As urban populations continue to rise, innovators are looking beyond traditional farming as a way to feed everyone while having less impact on our land and water resources. Vertical farming is one solution that’s been implemented around the world. Vertical farms produce crops in stacked layers, often in controlled environments such as those built by AeroFarms in Newark, New Jersey. AeroFarms grows a variety of leafy salad greens using a process called “aeroponics,” which relies on air and mist. AeroFarms’ crops are grown entirely indoors using a reusable cloth medium made from recycled plastics. In the absence of sun exposure, the company uses LED lights that expose plants to only certain types of spectrum. AeroFarms claims it uses 95% less water than a traditional farm thanks to its specially designed root misting system. And it is now building out a new 70,000 square foot facility in a former steel mill. Once completed, it’s expected to grow 2 million pounds of greens per year, making it the largest indoor vertical farm in the world.

Did you know that your car’s starting and charging system cranks the engine for starting, charges the vehicle battery and provides electric power for engine controls, lights and accessories? This short animation shows how automotive starting and charging systems work.
Don’t forget to have your trusted ACDelco certified technician inspect your starting and charging system components during your next maintenance. For more information, see ACDelco’s Automotive Systems Guide http://www.acdelco.com/auto-systems-guide/

Did you know that the first car with electric starting was the 1912 Cadillac? The starter motor was designed by Charles Kettering one of the founders of DELCO, which later became ACDelco.
The vehicles starting and charging system cranks the engine for starting; Charges the vehicle battery; And provides electrical power for engine controls, lights, and accessories.
Key components of the starting and charging system include:
The Battery which stores the electrical energy. The Starter Motor which cranks the engine. The Alternator which charges the battery and powers the vehicle electrical system. And Battery Cables to connect the battery.
Malfunctions can cause abnormal noises, dim lights, discharged battery, no crank conditions, and may illuminate the battery indicator lamp.
The starting and charging system is a critical part of your vehicle. Malfunctions with the system components can result in a no crank/start condition; cold weather puts an extra strain on the system. Have the system checked periodically. Visit your local ACDelco service center for expert service and quality parts.
