I. TONGA TURNOUTS AND CAMEL CARTS AT LAHORE

I. TONGA TURNOUTS AND CAMEL CARTS AT LAHORE - Music: 'La Giaconda' - SPCA World famous initials, but they don't stand merely for preventing cruelty. In Lahore the Society's Secretary took a look at what encouraging kindness can do for animals as well. Appropriately driven in a camel cart, Sir Bertrand Glancy attended the show, and there were many distinguished visitors. But the distinguished visitors were for once in the background, giving way to donkeys and horses and cattle as the chief guests. And here are some views of how it looked from the animals' point of view. Ladies are traditionally tender hearted about animals, but it needs a really big heart to love a camel. Riding a camel is about as easy as riding a horse that's just been stung by a bee. There were prizes for those who had been kind to the charges - may be one day there'll be prizes for people who are kind to human beings - but till then, the SPCA is doing fine and essential work in teaching that when you're keeping animals, give and take pays.

II. CLEAR THE SLUMS

II. CLEAR THE SLUMS - Music: 'Waltz Triste' - From Viceroy's House in spacious New Delhi Lord Wavell goes down to inspect slum clearance in the neighbouring old city. India's capital may be called new Delhi, but no city can be truly new while any of its citizens live in slums. The Viceroy emphasised this in one of his first speeches and here he's seeing what has been done to put things right. New dwellings and new shops have been put up. But India's slum clearance is still very much in the blue print stage. But they're the sort of blue prints we should study as carefully as we study our health, because from the highest to the lowest in the land, its our health that's at stake.

III. MORE JAP FUTILITY

III. MORE JAP FUTILITY - Music: 'William Tell' - These are air-raid damage pictures from Calcutta, taken after the daylight raid. But they are more than that. They're advance illustrations of what Japan means by her Co-prosperity sphere - pictures of the ruin that the Japs have designed for all Asia. These were labourers' bustees, the humblest of Calcutta's million houses, but not too humble for Jap bombardiers to destroy in broad daylight. After the raid, here and there lay dead cattle. After the raid, the last journeys of the victims. Calcutta's citizens, viewing the damage, learned a lesson in civilian defence. Brick built houses next to the bustees went almost untouched. They're a warning poster for everyone with sense to read. Put a solid wall between yourself and the blast of the bombs. If you're lucky enough to have a good strong house of your own, leave the doors open for others to take shelter with you.

IV. VILLAGE SECURITY

IV. VILLAGE SECURITY - Music: 'Invincible Eagle' - The original idea of this madras national War Front Scheme was to teach villagers self-defence against an enemy. Still you don't have to go as far as Japan to find someone whom it's a pleasure to throw flat on his face, so the scheme proved a great success in hundreds of villages, where it became a popular social activity. Captain Harvey's energy has been largely responsible for getting the thing going, and it's been his reward to see village boys rapidly becoming experts in dealing with a sudden attack. Mothers only hope the boys don't try it on father.

V. HMIS HIMALAYA

V. HMIS HIMALAYA - Music: 'March du Barry' - It is called a ship, but it never goes to sea, that's left to the men it trains in naval gunnery - and when they do go to sea they give a good account of themselves, as the history of this war has shown more than once. HMIS Himalaya has moved from Bombay to Karachi and this was what I suppose should be called the launching ceremony. Anyway, the saluting base is called the quarter deck, and that's the flag officer commanding, standing on it. An airplane made a mock attack on the ship after the parade and the trainees showed something of what they'd been learning. HMIS Himalaya is a good name for her - like the mountains she's called after, she is one of India's surest defences.

VI. TWO STARS IN CLOSE HARMONY

VI. TWO STARS IN CLOSE HARMONY - Music 'Coming out Party' - Excuse me, but aren't you, yes, you must be, no, but yes, it is. This is a great pleasure, Captain Melvyn Douglas. Will you join us in a car ride? We'd like you to meet your Indian audience. Here's our representative, saying 'Hello' for India's cinemagoers. Devika Rani, Captain Douglas, Melvyn Douglas, Devika Rani, meet your audience. Now if Devika will ask the question we all want to ask, "You're in uniform Captain Douglas?", and he answers "Yes", he's serving with the American troops in India. "Now you're in India, is there anything we can show you?" "Why yes", says Melvyn Douglas. When he was in Ceylon last, he was very interested in Indian music. In fact, he'd like to try his hand at it. Let's get down to it then. Right down. Talking of music, the Indian and US celebrities were soon in close harmony, it's just like holding a baby says Douglas, a model father himself, and he tries his hand. Apart from that there were no false notes in a very pleasant meeting, and Devika Rani on our behalf wished Melvyn Douglas and all his comrades out here Good Luck, and of course a Happy Christmas.

VII. WAR MINDEDNESS ON WHEELS

VII. WAR MINDEDNESS ON WHEELS - Music: 'A Frangesa' - The Maharajah of Jodhpur - an Air Commodore - came to inspect the national War Front's Exhibition train before sending it off on its tour of the countryside. At first glance it might seem to be a train designed by Walt Disney, but the posters on its sides put the main issues of the war simply and forcibly. Inside the train, there's a sort of tabloid version of modern mechanised war. Mines and bombs in ones and twos represent the hail of steel which the United Nations are bringing to bear on the enemy. Everybody likes to go to an exhibition - here the exhibition comes to you. It's coming your way, so watch out for it and pay it a visit.
