Description: Please read & note: This is a Rights holding DVD created & produced by me and is not factory made or sealed. I strive to produce the best DVD's possible from the sometimes VERY old Public Domain material. Films that are public domain are unpreserved and not professionally remastered. I remaster all of my films myself to the best possible quality acheivable. My DVDs are not the quality of todays Modern DVDs or Bluray discs. If you are looking for this kind of quality then these discs are not for you. All pictures are actual screen captures from the DVDs. Please note this when purchasing, but also know that all of the films are very watchable. To keep my prices as low as possible all my DVDs are delivered in plain paper DVD sleeves and the DVDs title will be labeled on the back of the DVD envelope. (See picture) All of my DVD's come with a menu for easy film selection. Total runtime of this DVD is 141 minutes. Item specifics are: Film 1: Bicycle Safety (1950) B&W Runtime 9 minutes Centron bicycle safety film containing rules, rules, and more rules for riding your bike. There are a few amusing moments of examples of what not to do, and the overall environment is very representative of 50s suburbia. 　 Film 2: Buying Food (1950) B&W Runtime 11 minutes Made for home economics class, this is a primer on sensible food shopping. We learn to read canned food labels and get a glimpse at the mysterious grading system for various foods (and may understand why food grades are no longer advertised unless they are Grade A). Many of this films messages are still poignant today, especially since supermarkets are designed to encourage impulse buying. 　 Film 3: Choosing a Classroom Film (1963) B&W Runtime 19 minutes Illustrates the purposes of educational films and the standards by which to appraise them. 　 Film 4: Electromagnets (1950s) B&W Runtime 10 minutes Explains the theory of electromagnetism by building slowly from a simple bar magnet to a completed electromagnet made from simple home materials. 　 Film 5: Fences and Gates (1970s) COLOR Runtime 25 minutes Takes a look at modern economics as it documents the efforts of a group of young musicians who are unable to achieve financial success. Presents basic economic concepts in the form of real-life situations. Dramatizes a real economic case by actual members of a jazz-rock music band. Depicts its struggle to break into national popularity played against the real world problems of making a profit and surviving as a group. 　 Film 6: Halloween Safety Educational Film (1970s) COLOR Runtime 11 minutes Halloween Safety Educational Film. 　 Film 7: How To Take A Test (1956) B&W Runtime 9 minutes Summarizes techniques of preparing for and taking examinations. 　 Film 8: I Like Bikes... (1970s) COLOR Runtime 13 minutes It features odd animation, synched music, and an annoying narrator who conducts the whole affair en verse. And as a bonus, the title cards that pop up during the movie (STOP and WATCH OUT) look a lot like subliminal messaging. 　 Film 9: Manners in School (1959) B&W Runtime 11 minutes Larry is a great rude kid who doesn't follow anyone's instructions on how to be a good boy, but when a chalk figure he has drawn comes to life, he's scared silly and agrees to do whatever Chalky says. 　 Film 10: None for the Road: Teenage Drinking and Driving (1957) B&W Runtime 14 minutes Hybrid nonfiction/fiction film showing experiments with alcohol-addled rats, plus a story of teenagers who die while DUI. Film 11: Speech: Platform Posture and Appearance (1949) B&W Runtime 9 minutes This public speaker's training film is all about how you will be judged on your appearance. Examples of people with dorky posture and appearance are held up for thinly-veiled ridicule. What's amazing is that the guy advocating "lip and tongue action" in Speech: Using Your Voice is twice used as a bad example! Don't forget the "knee test"! 　 All films released 1949 to 1970. All Films Entered Public Domain 1978 to 1998. I claim ownership and rights to this media. All the films on this DVD have been researched and are copyright free or the copyrights have expired due to non renewal.
