Allen Director of Physical Education Varsity Basketball Coach University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear "Phog" - Thank you for your nice letter. .One thing, however, you must remember - please don't mention this “million” business. If you mean e million “headaches" I can well understand because the real work has just begun end it will be quite a while before anyone will reap any sort of profit out of Cycle-Weld. As you gathered, the field is so enormous eat imagin- ations are continuously exhilareated - and it is fun to have so much work ehead. We have the ball in our possession but whether we can make a “touchdown” or not depends on the team. My best to you and your family and all of our friends. Sincerely yours, S. G.

Nutrition Committee _ parllclpang..” PACKERS ‘STATION ) Yamane Meatnatael Advertising and Sales Progt®™™ Swift & Company KANSS A:S CEI Y, KAN S Ass Introduction to Showing of Nutrition Film "HIDDEN HUNGER" For a long time, nutrition was something that chiefly con= cerned home economists. The average citizen paid little attention to such things as balanced meals, protéins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins, Today that situation has been changede More and more we are becoming a nation conscious of our diets, It is one of the good things which has come out of this war. With limited food available, it has behooved our homemakers to plan, to select and to prepare meals with more care, and with more attention to good nutrition standards, Much of the present-day interest in nutrition traces back to the educational campaigns of our government and of private industry which have helped drive home the facts about good nutrition. By way of introduction to the showing of “Hidden Hunger," I would like to take you back to pre-Pearl Harbor days and discuss some of the developments which led to the production of this nutrition film, The National Nutrition Program had its inception in a meeting called by President Roosevelt in May, 1941. Purpose of this mect- ing was to discuss nutrition and how the lessons of right eating could be brought before every man, woman and child in the United States. With United States! involvement in World War II imminent, good nutrition became of paramount importance as a means of build- a=. ing a stronger and healthier America to face the rigors of ware (continued) "Hidden Hunger" ee Some 800 leading nutritionists, medical men, food technologists, advertising and public relations representatives, and business lead- eka a the food industry took part in this conference, One of the outgrowths of the meeting was the establishment of a National Nutrition Committee, with sub-committees for each state. Promoting good nutrition. through educational channels was one of the first things the conference docided to do in stimulating interest of Americans in this vital subject. Further agroement was reached in using motion pictures as one:of the educational mediums for telling the story of good nutrition. There are certain factors concerning distribution of educa- tional movies in American theaters which are of first importance. Few, if any, theaters will show a straight educational film simply because the general public goes to the movies to be cntecre tained, not trained, When Swift & Company elected to sponsor a first-class Hollywood film as one contribution of this industry to the National Nutrition Program, it was decided that the production should be as entertaining as possible, and yet put across a factual, authentic story of right cating. For that reason, "Hidden Hunger," the film you are about to see, has been produced in an allegorical style. You will see the famous character actor, Walter Brennan, three-time Academy Award Winner, and star of many pictures, including "Judge Bean," "Come and Get it," and "Sergeant York" play the part of an average, good American farmer, Walter Brennan was lent by the famous producer, Sam Goldwyn, for this film. Brennan was intensely interested in the subject of good nutrition, This interest helped him turn in an outstanding (continued ) ~< "Hidden Hunger" -~3- portrayal of Farmer Link Squires. You will note the film opens with Brennan on his farm where he receives a fantastic visit from aman, At first this little man appears to be a seed salesmans Later it develops he is a representative of right eating. Actually, this is merely a hallucination or dream on the part of Link. As you will see, Link is really telling his story ie, court where he has been brought on various charges, including disturbing the peace because of his too-fervent campaign for good nutritions It is well to keep in wind that this film was made with this entertaining theme to make it more receptive, Already more than five million American theatergoers have seen "Hidden Hunger." The film, undoubtedly, has done mach to arouse interest in good nutritions Now this film has been made available for showing to clubs, schools, church groups-- in fact all types of organizations. — Augmenting the Link Squires episode on "Hidden Hunger" is an addition of interesting educational material, filmed in Kodachrome. This "Rat Right To Work and Win" sequence Stes in directly with the nutrition gospel of Link Squires, We give you "Hidden Hunger." ete He EH HE FH
