Reel 4: Reel 5: Segment 1 (sound + silent): Segment opens with a brief sound clip of mariachi musicians playing at the front of a small auditorium room, with the audience listening. The film then goes silent, with shots of San Jose local historian Clyde Arbuckle speaking at the podium, mayor Ron James listening at a conference table, and other people seated at the front at tables, including Luis Juarez, San Jose's Community Development Director. Script reads, "A rally to drum up support for a giant rose festival in San Jose got underway tonight at the City health building... With that for openers, the meeting got underway. The big question, how to give San Jose a Spanish-Mexican flavor. The current soul-searching came about recently when a number of VIPs suddenly realized that San Jose has no class. Growth, people, cars, smog, yes, but class -- a history of pride and community -- no. They went back to the history books and decided that since San Jose was settled by the Mexicans, we should bring back the Spanish flavor. One device to create such a flavor is to bring back the Festival of Roses, bigger and better than the Pasadena pageant. Such a festival was a yearly event in San Jose, but died of hunger during the Depression." Juarez is then interviewed, who says, "I think citizens have to create the atmosphere, they have to -- if they have the pride in the city, they should initiate a movement to give the city some identity, something t make them proud to be citizens of San Jose. Something that will put the City of San Jose on the map, known throughout the nation. Not only because it's the fastest growing city in the nation, but also because of its culture, tourist attraction areas. There are many things that can be done with a group of citizens such as the ones we have here tonight." Segment 2 (sound): Interview with San Jose State football quarterback Danny Holman, who talks about the team's strategy. He's asked, "Danny, you're the leading passer in the nation...do you think you could do it without the receivers you've got?" "No, sir, no chance..." Segment 1 (silent + sound): Silent footage of the Herbert King family moving into their new home at 427 Southside Drive, as the kids take items of furniture in from the driveway, Mrs. King unpacks, and Mr. King can be seen in the background. Script reads, "San Jose has the first program in the state providing for housing authority leasing of homes for low income families...The Kings are some of the first of nearly 250 families who will be assisted by San Jose's Housing Authority. Families who will be displaced by freeway construction or moved out of condemned housing are eligible for the moving program, with some of the cost to be born by the federal government." Nash Galindo, head of the San Jose Housing Authority, explains the program. He says they are all privately owned homes that the city is leasing from the owners and then renting out to low income families. The federal government makes up the difference in cost. Segment 2 (silent + sound): Silent footage of a group of men signing a document and shaking hands in front of a house. Script reads, "San Jose scored another statewide first today. A joint program between the Veteran's Administration and East Side High School District was signed, using the neighborhood youth corps. The pact was inked first by Glenn Corbitt, manager of the San Francisco VA Office, then by Frank Fiscalini, Superintendent of the East Side High School District. A group of young high school students from Overfelt High School will receive training in home repair. The youngsters will be renovating VA housing in the Tropicana Village area of San Jose. The training is in conjunction with classroom attendance." Fiscalini is then interviewed about the objectives of the program. He says the young men will learn job skills and develop proper civic attitude and pride; young women will be working in a child development center under licensed supervision and learning about childcare. The program is relating classroom learning to a laboratory in the field. Segment 1 (sound): Interview with college football player field goal kicker. He's asked what problems a field goal kicker has, and which style of kick does he use -- side foot or American style? Segment 2 (sound): Reporter Rik Whitaker outside the Thrifty Green Stamps Redemption Center at 1525 East Santa Clara Street, where a long line of women are waiting to get inside the doors. A rumor that the company was going out of business led to people lining up to cash in their stamps before the store closed. Whitaker talks to the district manager Al Knutson to clear up the rumors, who says that they are consolidating locations, but this location is going to remain open. Those in line are receiving cash or merchandise for their stamps. The only issues they've had is women fainting in line, and people not lining up properly. 10/5/66 A-B 612; 10/5/66 C-D 612; 10/5/66 E-F 612; 10/5/66 I-J 612; 10/5/66 G-H 612; 10/5/66 A-B 612; 10/5/66 C-D 612; 10/5/66 E-F 612; 10/5/66 I-J 612; 10/5/66 G-H 612; 10/5/66 A-B 612; 10/5/66 C-D 612; 10/5/66 E-F 612; 10/5/66 I-J 612; 10/5/66 G-H 612; 10/5/66 A-B 612; 10/5/66 C-D 612; 10/5/66 E-F 612; 10/5/66 I-J 612; 10/5/66 G-H 612; 10/5/66 A-B 612; 10/5/66 C-D 612; 10/5/66 E-F 612; 10/5/66 I-J 612; 10/5/66 G-H 612
