Japan Today (Universal Newsreel, Jun 1946)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. JAPAN TODAY: JAPAN - In the midst of black markets and inflationary prices, life for the average Japanese is grim and barren. Rebuilding homes and harvesting meagre crops keep some healthy and housed, but many have to tighten their belts. 2. TORNADO DEVASTATION: In the outskirts of Detroit, in northern Ohio and in Windsor, Ontario, wrecked homes, farms and autos attest to the violence of a freak twister which roared across a wide area, killing scores and injuring hundreds. 3. AMMUNITION JETTISONED: ENGLAND - Hundreds of thousands of tons of unused ammunition and bombs are being dumped into the ocean, but many times more tons are still stored in huge dump areas. And the public must Beware! 4. COW ADOPTS ORPHAN FAUN: STEELEVILLE, MO - (Exclusive) Orphaned by a deer hunter, a young faun is mothered by a very maternal cow. Nearby youngsters adore the tiny creature, who soon adapts himself to a novel environment. 5A/B. BEAUTY QUEENS ON PARADE: ATLANTIC CITY, NJ - Selecting the Miss America entry to represent the boardwalk city proves an eye-filling event for the throngs--and a real job for the judges. They all look like winners. / OUR FAVORITE "PIN-UPS": PALISADES PARK, NJ - Pretty faces and figures that made sailors sit up and take notice when they saw them in magazines now come to life for returning veterans, as pretty Thornton models prove to be as pretty as pictures. 6A/B.
