Duck and Cover (Wikipedia)
NTIS AVA11109VNB1

From the Wikipedia:

Duck and Cover was a social guidance film produced in 1951 by the United States federal government's Civil Defense branch shortly after the Soviet Union began nuclear testing. Written by Raymond J. Mauer and directed by Anthony Rizzo of Archer Productions and made with the help of schoolchildren from New York City and Astoria, New York, it was shown in schools as the cornerstone of the government's "duck and cover" public awareness campaign. The movie states that nuclear war could happen at any time without warning, and U.S. citizens should keep this constantly in mind and be ever ready.

Subject: a refresher course? One would hope not.
I have goosebumps all over my arms. I have never actually watched the whole thing before. What a world. Special note to the statement that even a piece of newspaper can help prevent burns in an atomic explosion. What a world.
I dare you to watch the whole thing, thank god its not relevant anymore....?
