Operation Good Neighbor (Universal Newsreel, Mar 1956)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. OPERATION GOOD NEIGHBOR: EVANSVILLE, INDIANA - The entire community pitches in to help Saint Mary's Hospital move to a new building. 110 tractor-trailers, and hundreds of drivers', loaders' and helpers' services are donated to move 90 patients, and every stick of furniture and equipment in a mammoth operation, timed to the split-second, that comes off without a hitch. 2A/B/C/D. NEWS IN BRIEF — GERMAN AIR FORGE TRAINEES arrive in New York City. First members of the postwar German Air Force, they'll go on to study with the United States Air Force, and form the nucleus of a modern, 1200 plane combat arm. / NEW MISSILE LAUNCHER, the latest model of the famed F-89 Scorpion is the first operational craft fitted to launch the deadly Falcon air-to-air missile. Films show the Scorpion-Falcon team in action. / STORMS LASH CANARY ISLANDS - New and dramatic evidence of this winter's savage, unrelenting fury, from off the beaten track. Towering, storm-lashed waves pound these Atlantic isles, bringing floods, landslides, death and destruction. / IRISH PRIME MINISTER John A. Costello arrives in Washington D.C., where he's greeted by President Eisenhower. The first Irish Prime Minister to visit the United States, he'll stay three weeks on his mission of good-will, taking part in Saint Patrick's Day observances. 3. HAREM FASHIONS - An exotic new note on the fashion scene is provided by originals from Istanbul-ranging from turban-twirling adaptions of traditional harem wear to chic and sumptuous evening gowns as modern as milady could wish. 4. SKIBIRDS FLY HIGH: AUSTRIA - Some of Europe's top-ranking skiers fly high and far, approaching the unofficial world mark with leaps upwards of 390 feet. Form is impeccable, and the result, ace competition in the most graceful and dramatic of sports. (TRAILER – NEW YORK) GOVERNOR HARRIMAN ASKS SUPPORT IN UNITED JEWISH APPEAL ISRAEL DRIVE.
