AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 6-11-2025

Hello everybody. This is Skip Alzheimer. Welcome to the AB Geeks Lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16mimeter films. And uh I found a new intro which I'm very excited about. So, this is um uh some stuff that we've been working with with the Pringer collection, and they have a bunch of Calvin outs. And so, this is a film about handling film. And so, here's what's wrong. Uh there's a couple things going on here. one. The first thing is um he's going way too fast and then he's trying to slow it down by pinching it and that just doesn't work. Um because it heats up and then um so ideally what you want is you want a rewind that has a break on it that is below so you can break it uh you slow it without having to actually touch the reel. Um, but yeah, he's going entirely too fast. Plus, I think those rewinds are too far apart to be honest. Uh, that's not what I feel comfortable with. But that's what happens if you flinch or if you go slow slower suddenly. If you're just like, "Oh, I got to scratch my hand." Then it's like it goes everywhere. So, there's an AV Geeks tip for you for those of you that collect film. Uh so we uh scanned a bunch of films that we got from uh the Texas Archive of the Moving Image. Uh they are very specific in what they collect. They collect things that are about Texas or made in Texas or have some tangential Texas thing to them. And over the years they have sent us stuff that didn't fit their collection. Um so that's how we got a bunch of Department of Public Safety films from them. a bunch of cop training films, some films about bombs, etc. Uh, but this is uh some generic educational films. So, this is uh unfortunately like many educational films, this one was shredded at the beginning and shredded at the end. So, they just clipped it. So, it's missing the title and the ending, but it's electricity wires in the home. Enjoy. Electricity is always there when you want it. Electricity is always there when you want it. It doesn't happen. It doesn't happens. We may have to light candles to see by. When this happens, we may have to light candles to see by. And someone will have to find out what happened to the electricity. And someone will have to find out what happened to the electricity. This is a sort of detective job, but it will be hard to discover the cause of the trouble if we don't know where electricity comes from and how it works for us. You would see there are If you saw a house while it was being built, you would see there are wires going all through it. heavy wrapping or you would discover that wires are covered by a heavy wrapping or put through a conduit pipe to protect them. They all lead to other wires that go through the utility pole. They all lead to other wires that go to the utility pole. If we follow the wires on the poles to the next street and beyond that. If we follow the wires on the poles to the next street and beyond that generator station all the way across town we'll come to a building called a generator station. [Applause] What does this building contain? Well, the most important thing what does this building contain machine called a generator? Well, the most important thing is this big machine called a generator. By boiling water, it makes electricity and is run steam made by boiling water in a huge boiler. The water is heated by burning gas, oil or by using atomic fuel. Electricity can be sent from here to houses all over town. Electricity can be sent from here. People who live to houses all over town country get electricity from a different kind of people who live in some parts of the country get electricity from a different kind of generator station by the force of falling water. Here the generator is run by the force of falling water. This force is enough to turn the generator which makes electricity. This force is enough to turn the generator which makes electricity. But either way, electricity travels through wires. But either way, it will be used. Electricity travels through wires to where it will be used. Wires are connected and the electricity turned on the electricity. When these wires are connected and the electricity turned on, the electricity will reach the house from the generator station and travel to every room. Junction box where the wires come in. From this junction box where the wires come in, other wires branch out. There are always two wires like this. There are always two wires like this. Has traveled through a wire from the generator station to light. After the electricity has traveled through a wire from the generator station to light your lamp, it returns to the station through another wire to complete the circuit. But what is electricity? What does it look like? But what is electricity? Is hard to describe. What does it look like? You can think of it as being electricity is hard to describe. But you can think of it as being made up of very tiny things called electrons to operate electric lights and applianc. They flow easily through metal wire to operate electric lights and appliances. Copper the same metal that pennies are made of. Wire made of copper. The same metal that pennies are made of is one of the best conductors. Electricity will not flow through some material such as plastic and rubber on the wires. If you touch a wire like a lamp cord, the covering on the wire prevents the electricity from giving you a shock. These materials are called nonconductors. Prevent the wires from touching. Wires are covered with this kind of material to prevent the wires from touching. If the wires touch, the electricity coming from the generator station will not. If the wires touch, the electricity coming from the generator station will not reach the lamp but will go back to the generator station. This is called a short circuit or the electricity makes a shortcut in the circuit. When the house is completed to the wire from the pole, when the house is completed and the wires are connected to the wire from the pole, electricity is continually passing through all the wires in the house. But we don't want our lights on all the time. We don't want the washing machine or the electric dryer going every minute or the toaster continually toasting things. We could keep pulling plugs out when we wanted to turn things off the house, but this would be a nuisance. Instead, while the house is being built, the electrician cuts the wires and puts in switches. In one position, a switch can be flipped back and forth. In one position, it completes the circuit so the electricity can pass. The circuit is broken. When it is flipped the other way, the circuit is broken. The light goes out and the flow of electrons is stopped. So the light goes out. Now let us see how electricity makes light called a filament. Inside a lamp bulb is a very small wire called a filament. It is made of a kind of metal called tungsten. Electricity has trouble getting through this type of small wire. And as it does the wire becomes hot and we have light. The filament gets hot. Of course, it doesn't take this long. When we turn on the light, the filament gets hot and we have light in an instant. In some electric heaters, the wires are not made to give off light, but they do give off heat. Provides hot water. A toaster has hot. This kind of heat provides hot water. Wires toast the bread. A toaster has hot wires also. And these wires toast the bread. motors which in turn are run. Some other appliances are run by motors which in turn are run by electricity. A small motor runs the vacuum cleaner. A larger motor runs the washing machine turned on or if something is wrong. If too many appliances in the house are turned on or if something is wrong with one of them, there may be too much electricity flowing through the circuit and the wires would get hot. If the wires get too hot, they could start a fire. There is a fuse box. So, at the point where the wires from the pole come in, there is a fuse box. Some circuit breakers or some circuit breakers switches. If there is too much electric circuit breakers are something like switches. If there is too much electricity going through, they snap the electric current off. This may be the answer. Sometimes if lights go out mysteriously, this may be the answer. Dad will have to check this by resetting the circuit breaker. The lights come on but go right off again. The lights come on but go right off again. Perhaps there is something wrong with one of the appliances and it is causing Perhaps there is something wrong with one of the appliances and it is causing a short circuit. Sure enough, the plug of the coffee percolator seems to be damaged and Sure enough, the plug of the coffee percolator seems to be damaged and needs repair. plug it and reset. As soon as we unplug it and reset the circuit breaker, I apologize. It sounds like I had the microphone on the whole time and so um there was probably an echo. Uh and uh also the it just ended so there's that. Um yeah, so I'm my wife's been away and so I've been cleaning in the kitchen. Um and that is why I have not been intentive. Uh, and why I'm also um not streaming from the kitchen. Uh, this film is great. I love this next film. Um, again, this was a gift from the uh, Texas Archive, the Moving Image, and it has a song. Is it Is it a toetapper? Let's find out. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Old McDougall had a yard. It was full of cars. All his autos did not go. did not did not go. He had fast here. See Dan's there. Older cars, newer cars, golder cars and bluer cars. Old McDougard. They were cars. Old yard. It was full of cars. And he stripped the parts in fits and starts. Fits and fits and starts. Finding mufflers here. Spark plugs there in the car on the ground. Mack found them all around. Fast backs here. See Dan there. Older cars, newer cars, golder cars and bluer cars. Old McDougall's wreck and yard. They were they were cars. Old McDougall had a yard. It was full of cars. And he bashed them all with a magnet ball. Magnet. Magnet ball. They were so much trunk. Too soon junk. Poorly made badly driven down the shoot to auto heaven. Mufflers here. Spark plugs there in the car on the ground. Mack had found them all around. Fastbacks here. See Dan's there. Older cars, newer cars, older cars and bluer cars. Old McDougall wrecking yard. They were They were cars. Old McDougall had a yard. It was full of cars. And he mashed them flat. And that was that. That was that was that. [Music] With the will go quick and a will stop ever buy a wreck rather walk ride a bike a horse forever. So much trunk too soon junk. Poorly made driven down the shoot to auto heaven. Mufflers here, spark plugs there in the car on the ground. Mack had found them all around. Fast bags here. See Dan's there. Older cars, newer cars, golder cars and bluer cars. Old McDougall's wreck and yard. They were they were cars. [Music] Old McDougall had a yard. It was full of cars and all his autos did not go. Did not did not go with a will ever buy a wreck. I'd rather walk ride a bike a horse forever old and yard. They were they were cars. [Music] I don't know why it started again, but there you go. Um, seems like all the toe tappers we've been discovering recently sound like Joan Bayz is singing. So, there's that. Okay. Um, so now we're entering films that are part of our collection and or films that I was going to show you yesterday, but YouTube cancelled the the stream uh for a bogus copyright uh claim. Basically, a Spanish channel has been using some of that um family film footage um of, you know, Jesus and claiming it is theirs and they did not make that footage. That footage is in public domain. So, I have to go and then contest it. Um, but it doesn't, you know, it basically, it's pointless because they already interrupted the stream and, uh, it's very frustrating. And that's what we deal with a lot at AV Geeks is a lot of, uh, um, bogus copyright claims. It's very, very frustrating. But we'll just keep going. Just keep going until Google prize YouTube from my cold dead hands. Uh so this film is about Pompei and Vuvius. Enjoy. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Applause] Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] On a hot afternoon in August in 79 AD, a cloud of vapor was seen to rise. is from Mount Vuvius in southern Italy. [Applause] The scene on that afternoon 19 centuries ago was much like the scene today, though on a vastly larger scale. A Roman writer observing the event from the Bay of Naples described the cloud by saying it appeared sometimes leaving white and sometimes gray as spotted according to whether it was ashes or nothing like this had happened here in the memory of living man. At first, those watching from towns nearby felt only wonder and curiosity. But once started, the eruption grew more violent. The flow of lava began. Boiling volcanic mud bubbled and steamed. The lava sent forth showers of red hot centers and rock. Poisonous gases escaped from deep in the earth. Streams of fiery red lava pushed their way down the slopes. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Prosperous farms and flourishing vineyards were engulfed by the molten tide. Yet still the eruption kept on the rush of poisonous gases and the downpour of cinders and rock bringing death and destruction to Pompei near the base of the mountains. That was 19 centuries ago. And until fairly recent years, Pompei lay buried and forgotten. What sort of town was Pompei? What was the pattern of its life before the long silence fell? Pompei was many things. For the wellto-do tradesmen, it was a busy, prosperous community whose wealth could provide stately homes and cool, restful gardens. [Music] To the maker of bronze statues, Pompei was an art conscious city that paid him well for his work. [Music] To the architect, public and private building provided attractive commissions. The artisan flourished whether he provided utensils for the household or masks for the popular theaters of the city. [Music] For the sculptor, there were walls to be carved in bar relief and statues to be shaped for the houses and grounds of the wealthy. [Music] Pompei was many things and saw much. In gardens like this, township leaders sat by the cooling fountains and discussed business, elections, and taxes. or since they were often men of taste, the conversation may have turned to art. [Music] Perhaps a newly decorated wall with a painting done in the style so popular in private homes and public buildings alike. [Music] The wall paintings of Pompei provided more than mere decoration, often presenting scenes from history and mythology, as well as representations of the ordinary life of the people and portraits of the people themselves. [Music] The streets of the city were paved with a carriageway in the center and raised sidewalks for pedestrians. [Applause] Highways led to the outskirts and to other towns beyond. For Palo Bay was near the high road between Naples and Rome. [Music] Not unlike a city of today, Palo Bay had its quiet suburbs and its busy downtown section. Here in the area of the forum with its numerous public buildings was the center of the life of the city. Here a community of 20,000 people carried on business and looked to civic affairs. Here was the temple of Jupiter, Juno, and Manurva. And here too was the temple of Venus of Pompei, the largest in the city with almost 300 marble columns included in its structure. To this temple to pay homage to Venus, their protectorress, came the young athletes of the city whose people prized athletic skill. And turned out by the thousands to see the games and contests. But the amphitheater that echoed with the shouts of holiday crowds has stood abandoned and silent since the day when the sudden stillness fell upon the life of the city. Pompei and Herculanium nearby were totally overwhelmed by Bubius. But other cities have survived and prospered in the shadow of the fiery mountain. 12 m away on the shore of a tranquil gulf stands Naples. A city whose history is older than that of Pompei. As the blue waters of the bay reflect the peaceful summer sky, there is no hint of the catastrophe of 19 centuries ago. Yet, it was here that a Roman fleet was anchored on the fateful day of August 24th, 79 AD. From this bay, the Roman Admiral Plenny observed the telltale cloud that warned of the eruption. From here he sailed to his death in an effort to get to those who had been able to reach the coast. And into this bay rained dust and ashes as Naples felt the effect of the eruption that was destroying the neighboring city of Pompei. But that was long ago. The life of Naples survived and has continued through the years. In the great harbor, fishermen still tend their boats and dry their nets much as they did when Caesar stopped off on returning from war. And when Cicero welcomed his friends to his villa in Pompei, the essential things go on. And so too with customs and traditions. Today Naples is famous for it composers of popular songs. and Sorrento across the Gulf preserves in the lore of its people the charm and the color of the folk dances of the region. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] In the gay and excitement of the dance, the grim events of history are forgotten. But always in the background looms Vuvius, in whose span of geological time centuries are as fleeting moments. Vubvius still active, still ominous. Vuvius a symbol, a reminder, and a warning. a warning. Um yeah. So uh we're going to show you some uh petrified like remains of dead people and then we're going to have a festive uh Italian dance festival. That's how it's going to play out. Okay. So this next film is it it's interesting like McGraill I feel like kept remaking this film because I have another film called Discovering Individual Differences but this one's just called individual differences and this is made for school teachers. Wow. an educational film for school teachers on the wide parade of uh personalities of kids that they're going to be encountering in their class. Enjoy. [Music] About the same time each year, school begins again for some 30 million boys and girls throughout the country. Some return eagerly, glad once more to enter the world of classrooms and studies. Others, well, others are not quite so eager. But to all of them, the first day back in school, the beginning of a new class is a big event. It's also a big event to more than a million teachers throughout the country. But a teacher's job begins long before the first day. For good teaching requires careful planning and preparation. Often a teacher spends a large part of the summer vacation getting ready for this day and the days to follow. But no amount of planning or preparation can completely fill in this chart ahead of time. What are the personalities of the boys and girls who will occupy these desks? Of course, a teacher knows that her new pupils will average a certain age. She also knows there will be some exceptions to the average in height, in weight, and general physique. These are some of the obvious physical differences among her new pupils. But an observant teacher would find many other differences. Some are aggressive, others are shy. One or two are apt to appear delicate. Others are robust and energetic. These individual differences cannot be ignored. Indeed, they must be discovered as soon as possible so that teaching methods can be adjusted to the pupil's individual needs. Why is this necessary? Let's see why. Let's see what would happen to just one pupil in this class if individual differences were ignored. Welcome to the sixth grade. Girls and boys, I am Miss Hart, your new teacher. I hope we shall get to know each other very well. In fact, I think I know one of you already. Isn't your name Roy Edwards? Yes, ma'am. I thought so. You look a great deal like your older brother, George. I had your brother George in my class two years ago. In fact, George was one of the brightest pupils I ever had. I know you will be too, Roy. As Royy's older brother would tell you, I always start a new class by hearing about your summer experiences. Roy, suppose you tell us about your summer experiences. Come to the front of the class, Roy. Don't be shy. Your brother never was. I We went to Vermont this summer. We We visited my grandfather. I We Don't let shyness rob you of your memory, Roy. All right. You may take your seat. Suppose you try. So, Miss Hart knows this boy quite well, does she? Well, she thinks she does. But Roy and his brother George are as different as day from night. George was always sociable and self-confident, but Roy is shy and often feels unsure of himself. This is only one of the differences in his character. Close your books. Time is up. Let's discuss what we have read. I am sure 20 minutes should be time enough for anyone to have read six pages. Now let's find out what you have learned about the New England states. What states comprise the New England states, William? Six states comprise the New England states. They are Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, and and Maine. What town is the chief seapport of the New England states and where is it located? Susan, the chief seapport of New England is Boston, which is also the capital of Massachusetts. Boston is one of the largest cities in America with a population of about 1 million people. Across the river is Cambridge, the home of Harvard University where my daddy went. That's fine, Susan. Roy, for what natural resource is the state of Massachusetts most noted? I I don't know. It's written very clearly in the book. I guess I didn't read that far. How far did you read? To page 23. But I do know that Vermont produces lots of maple sugar. That's not the question, Roy. How many found time to read the entire assignment? How many found time to read only five pages? And how many only study to page 23? There's no excuse for this. All of you should have finished this assignment. I have set high standards for my classes and this class is no exception. I expect all of you to improve your work. Roy, I'm particularly disappointed in you. Your brother was one of my fastest readers. All right, Kenneth, suppose you tell us what natural resource the state of Massachusetts is most noted for. Natural resources are sandstone. Miss Hart is getting to know something about this pupil, that he's shy, and that he's a slow reader, but she's learning the hard way. Hard on him and hard on herself, too. He's more frustrated than ever now because the goals set for this class are beyond his ability to achieve. As a result, he's rapidly losing interest in his studies. Right. I've asked you to stay after school because we must do something about your grades. The semester is almost half over and your grades are getting worse instead of better. Don't you like to study? How much time do you set aside for study? Oh, about 2 hours. You'll simply have to study harder. It's plain to me that you're just not applying yourself. There's absolutely no reason why you can't do this work. It's the same work your brother did when he was in my class. But I'm not as smart as George. That's no excuse. Of course, you're as smart as George. But you must take an interest in your work. You know, I think perhaps you should take part in some of our extracurricular activities. Your brother George was president of the dramatics club. That's one of the reasons he was such a good student. He worked hard. He applied himself. He was active and interested. But I'm not much good at You give up before you get started. You're not even trying. I'm sure some dramatic experience would be good for you, Roy. Beginning next week, I'm going to put you in the dramatics club. Hear [Music] [Music] [Applause] you. Hear you. Go on from memory. Yes, Miss Hart knows now that Roy is an individual with a different intelligence, different personality, different interests, and different abilities. of his own. She is learning as even parents have to learn that any boy or girl must be treated as an individual. Can this knowledge only be gained at the price of doing psychological damage? No. There is a scientific way of appraising individual differences. Our teacher knows the correct procedure, but she has shown us how this problem is too often handled. Let me show you how I would really work with Roy the right way. I feel better than those kind of people. Welcome to the sixth grade, girls and boys. I am Miss Hart, your new teacher. I hope we get to know each other quite well. I think that's important in a new class, knowing each other, don't you? Yes. In fact, I think I know one of you already. Isn't your name Roy Edwards? Yes, ma'am. I thought so. You look a great deal like your older brother, George. I had George in my class two years ago. He was one of the brightest pupils I've ever had. You must be quite proud of him, Roy. I particularly remember George because he had an excellent voice. I like to start a new class by getting acquainted with one another. How would you people like to bring your chairs up to the front of the room and form a nice circle? That was fine. Now suppose we tell about our summer experiences. Who would like to be first? Would you? What's your name? Mary Sullivan. Very well. Mary, suppose you tell us about your best summer experience. Well, my best experience is at a camp in the White Mountains. We go there every summer for a month. That is my mother-in-l for a moment. Roy feared Miss Hart was going to ask him to speak. Perhaps someday she will, but not until she knows that he feels more secure in front of his new teacher and classmates. Anyone can see that Roy is shy and retiring. Some of the differences between him and the other boys and girls are already obvious. And this makes Miss Hart wonder, what are the other less obvious differences that distinguish this boy as an individual? Miss Hart knows that one of the quickest ways to get acquainted with her new pupils is to become familiar with their various school records. Health records provide the teacher with information about possible visual or auditory defects or some other minor physical handicap. Achievement test records tell her the extent of the pupil's accomplishments in the different school subjects. Anecdotal comments help to reveal various character and personality traits which have been noticed by previous teachers. Sociograms illustrate the students social standing in his group. And of course, results of standardized intelligence tests reveal the pupil's capacity of learning. Miss Hart has discovered, for instance, that Royy's IQ is 92. She has checked to find that his older brother had an IQ of 135. She also learned that Royy's reading ability is much lower than his brother's. Although Roy is in the sixth grade, his reading ability is no better than the average fourth graders. However, this doesn't mean that he will be a poor learner. Miss Hart knows that there is no such thing as a poor learner if schoolwork is adjusted to individual abilities and needs. Let's close our books, girls and boys, and talk about some of the things we've read. What were some of the interesting things you've chosen to report about, Susan? Well, I would like to talk about Boston. Boston is the largest city in Massachusetts. It has a population of about 1 million people. It was settled by our colonial forefathers who came to this country from England in the early 17th century. Boston is also one of our great cultural centers and across the river Charles and Cambridge is Harvard University where my daddy went. That's fine, Susan. Roy, I noticed your hand, too. What have you chosen to talk about? My topic is on making maple syrup from the chapter on Vermont. I learned that well that Indian Indians used to make maple syrup by collecting maple tree sap and hollowed out logs. We went to Vermont this summer and I saw some maple syrup we made from maple sap and I tasted some right there, too. That's fine, Roy. Now, Richard, what was your topic for study? My topic is on early Indian tribes of Everyone likes to succeed. The Indians. Everyone needs to succeed. And success in school becomes possible when the work is adjusted to individual abilities. Miss Hart knows that in Royy's achievement of some success lies the key to his continued interest in school work. Hello Roy. Did you have a good day? Yes. Do you have a few minutes we could chat? Mhm. Good. How do you like the sixth grade now that almost half the semester is over? Oh, I like it very much, Miss Hart. You must be getting to know the other girls and boys pretty well. Well, some of them, but a lot of them are new this year. You know, Roy, one of the best ways to get to know the boys and girls is by joining one of the class clubs. We are organizing a new junior dramatics club. I remember George was president of the dramatics club two years ago. He was active in the various pageantss we had in school. Well, yes, George people. Even brothers can have different interests. Roy, last week when I asked the class to write the compositions about themselves, telling about their hobbies, I had a purpose in mind. I wanted to find out exactly what the children like to do. You see, it's important for a teacher to know the interests of her class. I noticed in your composition, one of your interests is playing the piano. Yes, I've been playing the piano for years. Mother started me when I was seven. That is a long time. You must play quite well by now. Does your brother play too? No, he can't even carry a tune. He started to listen to what I did but wasn't very interested and gave them up. I have an idea Roy. With your ability in music, perhaps there is something you can do for the dramatics club. There is something which only you can contribute. Here [Music] [Applause] [Music] ye, here ye, we present some living tableabos of great moments in the glorious history of colonial America. [Music] [Music] We present first Betsy Ross. Betsy Ross was born in Philadelphia in the year 1752. She made the first American flag for General George Washington. Only a few months of the school year have gone by, but already Roy is on his way to becoming a happy, welladjusted student. Miss Hart has shown us how she coped with the problem of individual differences in one class with one student. But there are thousands of classes with millions of students. What can you do to meet these individual needs? [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Nice. Um, yeah, a lot of these, uh, that series, they start off with all the problems and then eventually the teacher cracks the code and the kids are doing better. Um, but there's always this narrative arc of kid not doing so great and it's all very bleak. Uh, let's see. So, I got another Excuse me. Hey, so I apologize today for all the technical problems. Um, obviously I'm distracted, but I appreciate your patience with that. And, you know, it's kind of part of the deal, although I don't like it to be. If I had unlimited amount of money, I would pay a producer to help me do all this, but I don't. So, it's me sitting on my living room couch doing dishes in between uh intros. So, uh this uh last film is another uh Texas archive of the movie image donation and its careers aggra business. Enjoy. [Music] most of the time. You'd say a fieldman's office is his car. [Music] There's an openness where you're not having to sit behind a desk all day. One of the main things is that it's not a stereotype job. Every grower I go to, the condition can change. [Music] We are primarily a service organization to the farmer. We do everything we can to assist in new techniques and insecticides, growing techniques that uh sometimes the individual farmer might not be well acquainted with. [Music] [Applause] [Music] The harvest season is the culmination of the year's efforts and uh probably this is our biggest service of coordinating a smooth flow of fruit from the field to the canery. Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. N. [Music] Compared to other industries, agriculture is not what you consider a highpaying job, but it is a very comfortable and I think basically it's very satisfying for someone that likes responsibility or the challenge of doing a job and feeling that they're contributing to a company. I think it's tremendous. It's not unusual or not uncommon that we'd receive oh 150 truckloads of tomatoes in a in a 24-h hour period. I would suspect that we're looking at well over $100,000 worth of uh product a day, which is certainly involves quite a little bit of responsibility. My job was general plant foreman. It involves supervision of food processing in the plant. Heat. Heat. [Applause] [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] Now, we're automating very rapidly, but it's still going to take people to to process the food. There's certainly openings on up the line if a person wants to work towards it. [Applause] I've been quite pleased and satisfied because I have been moved around and got a taste of uh the action in the various departments of the company. I indeed like the production end of it. [Music] I usually run tests on acids in the in the sample or sugars. [Music] I applied as a male clerk, but then uh the positions were all full. So the uh woman that was interviewing me asked if I'd had any chemistry, and I said yes, I'd had two years. And then she said that there was a need for food technician. I work out right after I get done working and then it's uh seems it is a lab job. It's just not too strenuous, you know, physically. So it just about takes care of the mental and physical each day. [Music] It's a It's a really good atmosphere. You can advance up to a research associate, which is uh the highest position you can go without having a degree. And you're working so closely together all the time. And we we've become such good friends that I mean, even off of work, we bum around together, let you know. [Music] It's not a real highpaying job, but it's got really good conditions. And this is probably why I stayed. [Music] Principal responsibility of a marketing manager in a consumer goods company is that he has to answer to his management for the profitability of the products assigned to him. Spices and a little more sugar. So what we have uh is a more fully formulated tomato product that can be used for more things that will extend the usage of tomatoes tomato sauce into new and different areas. We see this as the most complete convenience product in the line. Of all the other tomato sauces, this one will do more things better. Why don't we open the can and uh when you see what it looks like, you'll see that uh Stew tomatoes marketing manager is the like the quarterback on a football team. He has to be fully aware of what's going on in all the different areas that involves his brand. such areas as production, sales, advertising, just uh everything that surrounds the product from the day the seed goes into the ground till the day that that gal uses it on her family dinner. And you know that we've conducted lots and lots of workshops, group interviews with women and the one thing that they say is that they aren't going to have to chop any more green pepper. They aren't going to have to chop any more celery. They aren't going to have to chop any more onion. Can we pick up the peppers in the advertising? Uh, there is one way of handling it, Dick. Much like we'd plan to do with bits at one time. That is to take what is really our trademark, the our tomato, show how it becomes your part of what goes into the can, actually goes into the can and a closeup of the product itself with the celery and onions added. I like the creative challenge not only of of working with people but of coming up to solutions to make a commodity like a little red tomato into a valuable and and salailable property. The gal will pick off the supermarket show. [Music] I think the most important thing in being a good salesman is attitude. There is no one watching over your shoulder 8 hours a day. You're by yourself and it's up to you, the individual, as to what you want to achieve. [Music] I couldn't be cooped up in an office from 9:00 to 5:00. And this job gives you the opportunity to be out in the field by yourself. Will you pass? Yeah, it's on table 7A. One of the surprising things about my background is it doesn't relate at all to the food industry. And I think this is important to anyone who is considering going into the food industry. If you have a college degree, no matter what it's in, there's a opportunity there available for you. I love to work with people. I like to talk to people and this give you that opportunity. You meet a lot of different people with a lot of different backgrounds. Uh and uh this to me is uh is good. I really like my job. Anything else? [Music] [Applause] [Music] The future and the opportunities in the food industry are just unlimited. New packages, new products, new ideas. This is a fast growing, alive, exciting business. Anything to do with food, food growers, food processors, big new supermarkets, all the way up the line. [Music] I dig it. That soundtrack was great. 1970. Yeah, that was a uh was a good time. Good time for mustaches. I think we've all noticed. And let me just lament the fact that I cannot get uh Spaghettiio's with Franks. That is my uh childhood comfort food. And sometimes, every once in a while, I just I just want to have one. Maybe once a year, you know, if things are uh I don't know, I don't feel quite right or I'm a little down in the dumps. Getting a thing of spaghettiios with sliced franks. It's it's just been it's it's something. It's all childhood stuff. It's filled with sugar. It's not good for you. Um, Frank's probably aren't really meat, but yeah, the meatballs one doesn't do it. And then the one in different letters. This is not alphabet soup. This is spaghetti. O's O's. O. Anyways, I'll get off my soap so soap box because I know it's controversial, but uh let me say thank you again so much for watching uh this show. Uh, you are the reason that we show these things. You're the reason we collect these films, that we pay for shipping, to get these materials, that we run them through a film scanner that we still owe a lot of money on and to present them to you so you can make fun of some guy's mustache. No, ultimately, um, it's it's why I do what I do. It's the thing. What am what else am I going to do? Work a computer job? No, it's not going to happen anymore. I'm busted. So, um, thanks for indulging me and making me feel like what I do is offering some sort of value to somebody else's life. Uh, and the reason why I bring this up is because I'm about to move 30,000 plus films back into the archive. And the sheer physical uh aspect of that is daunting to me. We're doing baby steps, so it's not too much at one time, but it is it's a killer. So, the fact that you hit thumbs up or that you hit like or you subscribe to this channel, those are great ways to support us. Donating via the superth thanks button, that's another great way. Going to kofi.com/avgeeks or patreon.com/avgeeks or watching other films on our channel or buying something from our YouTube store. Uh those are all great ways to financially and spiritually support what we're doing, which is it's not just me sitting on the couch. It is me slipping hundreds of films back and forth. And uh so thank you. Seriously, I mean it. Uh all right, we'll be back again tomorrow. What is tomorrow? Thursday. Yes, Thursday. More films. We'll see you soon. Take care.
