AMERICA ALERT {ANTI-COMMUNIST PSA FROM FLORIDA
POWER & LIGHT CO.} (TV)

Summary

This tape features three separate public service announcements featuring anti-communism messages, sponsored by the Florida Power & Light Company. In the first public service announcement, a teacher introduces a visitor from the state board to her class and the visitor talks about being loyal to the government of the Soviet States of America. An announcer then describes how to prevent and detect a communist takeover. In the next announcement, a worker speaks with his personnel director about his stellar progress with the company in the past six years. But the director passes him over for a promotion because he attends church. An announcer then talks about how to keep your beliefs in America strong. In the last announcement, children are loaded onto a bus for a work camp and an announcer describes ways to fight communism.

Cataloging of this program was made possible by The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation, 1999.
