00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:26.000
Once a jitterbug, always a jitterbug.

00:00:26.001 --> 00:00:28.000
But here's trucking that isn't a dance.

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:29.001
It's a new kind of fencing.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.000
Out in California, they're trying
it out in several inches of water.

00:00:33.001 --> 00:00:35.000
But down in Florida, they prefer the sand.

00:00:35.001 --> 00:00:39.000
Tootsies get a real workout in this
kind of fencing, and it certainly

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.001
does things to that average boy.

00:00:41.001 --> 00:00:43.000
Ah, what a pretty miss.

00:00:43.001 --> 00:00:44.001
Right past the shoulder.

00:00:45.001 --> 00:00:48.000
This is a sport that demands a good eye,
nimble feet, and

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.001
speedy flips of a strong wrist.

00:00:50.001 --> 00:00:52.000
Here's a carload of prospective students.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:53.001
Come on, girls.

00:00:53.001 --> 00:00:56.001
Let the Florida State Women's
Champ show you how to become a

00:00:56.001 --> 00:00:58.000
good duelist in one easy lesson.

00:00:59.000 --> 00:00:59.000
Maybe.

00:00:59.001 --> 00:01:03.000
It's a lot of fun, and besides,
it's a swell way to keep your figure slim.

00:01:03.001 --> 00:01:04.000
That ought to get him.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.000
There's really nothing to it.

00:01:06.001 --> 00:01:10.000
Just parry, thrust, riposte,
and counter-riposte.

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.000
And if that doesn't work,
use a time thrust and the redoublement.

00:01:13.001 --> 00:01:16.000
If that doesn't work, just duck and pray.

00:01:16.001 --> 00:01:19.000
She cuts a pretty figure all right,
but not with a blade.

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:23.000
There are kibitzers in every crowd,
and there are ways to fix them.

00:01:23.001 --> 00:01:25.000
Come on, you gals. Give Susie the works.

00:01:25.001 --> 00:01:27.000
This isn't fencing, but it's fun.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.000
This young lady is all wet,
or will be in just a minute.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.000
I'm... swine... dry.

00:01:37.001 --> 00:01:39.000
That's not ducking. That's dunking.

00:01:39.001 --> 00:01:41.001
Careful of Susie's new finger wave.

00:01:42.001 --> 00:01:45.000
And this started out to be a
simple lesson on how to reduce.

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.000
So long, Susie. Got your roller skates?

00:01:48.001 --> 00:01:51.001
This is one fencing lesson where
somebody really got stuck.

00:02:03.001 --> 00:02:04.000
[...]

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.001
Rice today, but puddings,
plastics, and concrete tomorrow.

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.000
And rice makes good glue,
excellent cosmetics, swell horse collars,

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.001
and some folks even eat this stuff.

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.001
Powerful velvethead engine runs machine.

00:02:17.001 --> 00:02:19.001
Machine thrashes the biggest harvest in years.

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.001
A lot of it will go to make good bricks
and buttons, superb sauces and soap.

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.000
In one end, round and round and out
the other end, rain pours into sacks.

00:02:29.001 --> 00:02:31.001
The rest, just one big pile of hay.

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.000
Well, hay to you, maybe,
but somebody's going to make gravy, brooms, and

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.001
fertilizer out of that mountain of stuff.

00:02:38.001 --> 00:02:39.001
Man makes automobile.

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.001
Man saws off parts of automobile,
pushes both ends together.

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:44.000
Presto.

00:02:44.001 --> 00:02:46.001
Man has mighty good doodle bug tractor.

00:02:47.001 --> 00:02:48.001
Rice needs a lot of water.

00:02:49.001 --> 00:02:50.001
Arkansas has little rainfall.

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.000
The same engine that helps to
thrash rice helps to grow rice.

00:02:55.001 --> 00:02:59.000
Water is pumped from rivers, from canals,
from deep wells at the rate of

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:00.001
96,000 gallons an hour.

00:03:01.001 --> 00:03:06.000
A centuries old oriental underwater grain
raised in the hot state of Arkansas,

00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.001
all with the year-round help of
the modern automobile engine.

00:03:21.001 --> 00:03:24.001
Who hasn't been at least a
Saturday night sailor and chased

00:03:24.001 --> 00:03:26.000
a bar of soap around the bathtub?

00:03:26.001 --> 00:03:29.001
But this is a new kind of sailing,
racing with all the

00:03:29.001 --> 00:03:31.000
finesse of its big sister sport.

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.000
No deep sea needed.

00:03:33.001 --> 00:03:35.000
Any small lake or pond will do.

00:03:35.001 --> 00:03:37.001
A graceful bit of streamlined beauty.

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.000
Never mind the nose,
that won't help your boat win.

00:03:41.001 --> 00:03:45.001
No small boy hobby model yachting,
but a booming international sport.

00:03:46.001 --> 00:03:50.000
Interest has suddenly sprung up even in
remote parts of India and South Africa.

00:03:51.001 --> 00:03:55.001
Scientifically shaped for speed and efficiency,
model yacht hulls reach a length

00:03:55.001 --> 00:03:58.000
of 80 inches, weigh as much as 60 pounds.

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.001
Hundreds of parts go into a racing yacht.

00:04:01.001 --> 00:04:02.000
Accuracy is important.

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.000
Mast and turnbuckles must be just so.

00:04:05.001 --> 00:04:07.000
This boat is to be a winner.

00:04:08.001 --> 00:04:11.001
New ideas, new features are
incorporated into this latest model.

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.000
It looks like it's a whistle,
but how will it act on the water?

00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.000
So busy with his business during the day,
he's forced to try out his new boat at

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.000
night, her maiden voyage.

00:04:23.001 --> 00:04:25.001
Uh-oh, it's sailed out of range of the lights.

00:04:26.001 --> 00:04:28.001
But that can be fixed in just a jiffy.

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:32.001
An easy twist of this rudder, a bit of
skippering about with this four-wheeled

00:04:32.001 --> 00:04:36.000
land yacht, a quick flip of the
tow on a convenient light switch.

00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.000
Yes, sir, right back in the spotlight,
and we'll be again tomorrow at the races.

00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:57.001
E-nuts, popcorn, chewing gum, and crackerjack,
a prize in each and every peg.

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.000
Hey, skinny,
circus is in town and the balloons loose.

00:05:07.001 --> 00:05:10.001
How's a fellow gonna know they go around
the streets playing with balloons?

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.000
Looks like everybody is going to have some fun.

00:05:14.001 --> 00:05:16.001
One of the busiest corners in Miami Beach.

00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.000
Forty thousand cars go whizzing by
this intersection every 12 hours.

00:05:21.001 --> 00:05:23.001
What a place to pick for sailing a balloon.

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.000
And there it goes with a small
movie camera tagging along behind.

00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.001
Taking pictures usually isn't anything
to get up in the air about, but tomorrow

00:05:31.001 --> 00:05:33.001
is school day for this officer.

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.000
That makes a difference.

00:05:35.001 --> 00:05:39.000
High above the busy street intersection,
this camera never fails to bring back

00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.000
all the lessons that are needed
for dear old alma mater.

00:05:42.001 --> 00:05:44.001
A pull on the string starts the camera.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:46.001
Another jerk on the string stops it.

00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.001
The school bell rings for
these traffic officers.

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.000
It's an odd school with a new kind of
geography lesson, but it's all part of a

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:55.001
program to improve traffic conditions.

00:05:56.001 --> 00:05:59.001
Here's what the officers see on the
screen of this novel safety school.

00:05:59.001 --> 00:06:03.000
Police and traffic engineers are
able to study actual driving

00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.001
conditions at busy corners.

00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:18.001
Here's a truck that has a
habit of chasing planes.

00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:20.000
In fact, it's a business.

00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:26.000
All aboard Fort Cozumel, Tapachula,
Guatemala, Chigusa Galpa, Antifagot,

00:06:26.001 --> 00:06:28.000
or come on and get in.

00:06:28.001 --> 00:06:32.000
With a clipper ship in between,
it's just two steps from the United States

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:33.001
to any country south of the border.

00:06:34.001 --> 00:06:37.000
This structure is traveling
and so are its occupants.

00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:42.000
If it gets there in time, six minutes to go,
then off to South America.

00:06:42.001 --> 00:06:45.001
Step on a driver,
that airport is still a mile away.

00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.001
Uh-oh, and this plane waits for nobody.

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.001
Right in the nick of time, these passengers
just won't get ready until the last

00:06:53.001 --> 00:06:56.000
minute,
and there's nothing that can be done about it.

00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.000
In traveling togs before they know what
it's all about, loaded into a speedy

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.000
truck and rushed to the airport,
across the gangplank and into the rumble seat.

00:07:04.001 --> 00:07:08.000
A lot of fuss over a bunch of small fry,
but not a peep out of them.

00:07:08.001 --> 00:07:11.001
What a passenger list. Over 800 this trip.

00:07:12.001 --> 00:07:15.000
Take off time for the
Caribbean West Coast Flyer.

00:07:15.001 --> 00:07:19.000
Motors roar and the clipper ship express
trains down the choppy water of the bay.

00:07:19.001 --> 00:07:23.001
A sweep up into the air and its
nose points south, flying down to

00:07:23.001 --> 00:07:25.000
Rio at a lot of miles per hour.

00:07:25.001 --> 00:07:30.000
Next plane leaves in 45 minutes,
so back again for another load.

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.000
Thousands pass through this
unusual air terminal daily.

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.000
Jeepers, Jeepers. Over 10,000 of these
animated powder puffs are rushed to

00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:41.001
Central and South American markets every week.

00:07:41.001 --> 00:07:46.000
All because the American chicken is a
better egg producer, is better tasting.

00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:48.001
Come on out, fella, and have a look around.

00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:51.000
Try grunting, that helps sometimes.

00:07:51.001 --> 00:07:52.001
Stand up, you sissy.

00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:57.000
Right after hatching, one of these little
fuzzers weighs only half as much as an

00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.000
egg, so rides for half fare.

00:07:59.001 --> 00:08:04.000
He doesn't begin to get hungry until he's
72 hours old, so he's as snug as the

00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:08.001
bug in the rug was during the entire trip
in specially designed flying poolmans,

00:08:08.001 --> 00:08:11.001
and arrives long before he has a
chance to work up his first appetite.

00:08:12.001 --> 00:08:15.000
American chicks bring home
South American chicks.

00:08:15.001 --> 00:08:18.001
This is one time when a dozen chickens
are cheaper than a dozen eggs.

00:08:19.001 --> 00:08:21.000
Happy landings, you birds.

00:08:22.001 --> 00:08:32.000
