I. LORD WAVELL AGAIN IN BENGAL

I. LORD WAVELL AGAIN IN BENGAL - Music: 'Reve Anglique' - In troubled Bengal there was a pause for remembrance and respect for the late Sir John Herbert. The Viceroy and Lady Wavell were at the memorial service, visiting the province to see for themselves the first fruits of the relief measures. Army doctors are fighting to tilt the balance of Bengal's health back to normal, and Lord and Lady Wavell could see for themselves how this battle for the future was progressing. Famine may be confined to an area - disease and epidemics spread relentlessly throughout a continent. This battle is a fight for all of us - and our children. There's another fight going on too - the struggle to restore self-respect to people who had very good reason for believing that living held nothing more for them, but slow death in no very distant future. Useful work helps. Inoculation - the thin needle of steel which is science's only weapon to combat the subtle enemy that, once established in bodies stripped by hunger of their natural defences, will flourish like the green bay tree and sap a nation dry. One encouraging sign. In this great crowd waiting for inoculation there seems to be no fear, no superstitious dread of what is to happen to them. That is a great step gained. The Viceroy saw that if the battle was far from won, it had begun well. All India must help Bengal to victory.

II. HE DIED ON DUTY

II. HE DIED ON DUTY - Music: 'Abide with Me' - Falling from his horse while on parade, the Inspector General of the Sind police died in hospital shortly afterwards. The Inspector General's personal servant - in the background of this picture, and the Governor were side by side in the funeral procession, the former finding it hard to restrain his grief. The prime minister of Sind was in attendance to mark the end of W L K Herapath's thirty one years service in the Indian Police. As a last tribute, the traditional volley in salute to a soldier was fired over the grave, before the final prayers.

III. 'YOUR'RE WELCOME' ENSA

III. 'YOU'RE WELCOME' ENSA - Music: 'Miniature Overture' - "Major! Get a load of this", they told him, and he did - a lorry load of ENSA artists. They've come by way of Iceland - but are they hot! Major Eric Dunstan brought them over. Then men too. Well, you've got to have some men, anyway. Here's Marion, Sylvia and Renee, if you can see them over the major's shoulder. Just a minute Menada's greeting them for India, and now the coasts clear. On the left, Joan Seton. She sings, all the girls do something. They don't have to. With smiles like theirs they'd bring the house down if they were deaf and dumb. Still their first show proved them fine artists, so here's wishing them a happy tour, and what's that? Just Alec Hall the company comedian adding a footnote. Notes: Word "this" in first line to come at beginning of shot 2.

IV. NEW RECORDS IN UP OLYMPIC

IV. NEW RECORDS IN UP OLYMPIC - Music 'Maid of the Mountains' Selection - If you're an Olympic sportsman first you have to live a Spartan life in a special training village, then have brass bands played at you, then parade around and be looked at. Altogether it doesn't seem on the face of it to be much fun for anybody but the spectators, and the last straw is as always the speeches. Still, when the pigeons are released carrying the Olympic message, and the starting gun goes, there's probably no better moment in your life. Sir Richard Pierce looking comfortable. Some competitors looking very uncomfortable, they've got fifteen hundred metres ahead of them. And M Siddique looking for new fields to conquer. He's just smashed the UP record for the race. Time four minutes twenty one and two fifths seconds. Hurdles. That boy seems to think he'd one of those pigeons they let off. Cycling, with Aligarhs fine Muslim buildings as a picturesque background. Best for our cameraman was the pole vault. Here are four jumps, and you can see for yourself the fine style in which the last one set up a new record. Best thing about the prize giving from the athletes' point of view is that it means he can at last tell his trainer to go boil his head. Anyway, Musharaf who won the pole jump, and Miss Rutland who won the women's prize both had plenty to celebrate.

V. LOCOMOTIVES FOR INDIA FROM THE USA

V. LOCOMOTIVES FOR INDIA FROM THE USA - MUSIC 'Dance Macabre' - Americans are world famous for claiming that everything in the US is bigger than anything anywhere else. Well, India's got bigger engines. And when the US set about supplying wartime India with locomotives se had to build them on a specially large scale. Britain can't build them at the present time - her factories are too busy - so the US sends the parts and we put them together. If you take a look over her you won't find her so very different from the Indian type. Reason is that Indian and US engineers decided that the Indian XE locomotive was about the last work in steam traction. Working on a high priority of men and materials, US engineers built our own XE in American workshops. They made some alterations, and among them, they gave her a better name. common place Indian XE became The Eagle.
