I. NEW HEADQUARTERS FOR THE WOMAN'S VOLUNTARY SERVICES

I. NEW HEADQUARTERS FOR THE WOMEN'S VOLUNTARY SERVICES - Almost certainly this is the only building entirely devoted to women's work in India's capital. Lady Wavell's opening it, and as Begum Shah Nawaz said "The idea is a new one for Indian women, but one that they're liking". A general move to watch Lady Wavell perform the opening ceremony, which, apart from the polish on the lock, was a very informal affair. Inside, the range of offices gave some idea of the quick expansion which these services have seen recently. Bringing together separated families - that's certainly a good job to do for any women, and so are the others in the Women's Voluntary Service.

II. BALUCHISTAN

II. BALUCHISTAN - the Baluchistan cattle show provided some interesting illustrations of methods in settling arguments. Bulls, for instance, find out which has got the thickest skull. Camels are different. They're placid, patient beasts. They just thoughtfully chew the matter over. Now for human beings. They settle an argument about price by touching each others fingers under a cloth. A last look at its teeth, and the bargain's settled. And nobody knows who's got the batter of whom. Now some military officers. It seems a useful way of settling arguments o they take a lesson, but they prefer to end the matter with a cigarette. Exchanging courtesies, they show the farmers one or two specimens of tanks. And they're the best thing for settling an argument that anybody's yet thought of.

III. WHERE THE TEA COMES FROM

III. WHERE THE TEA COMES FROM - For tea to grow, it's got to be high and it's got to be warm. The plucking is mostly done by women; they don't just strip the tree, they take what the advertisements call 'selected leaf'. Ropeways, as this shot shows, definitely speed up delivery, from the plantations. From the ropeway they're taken by lorry to the factory, usually on the actual estate. Their apparently aimless throwing about of the leaves has a purpose. They're being spread for withering. Then, down a chute. To the rolling machine. More throwing about, this time by machinery, to sort the leaves. Then twenty-two minutes in a drying machine at two hundred degrees. Hen it's gone through this process, the leaf has lost its greenness and begins to look like tea. The leaf is sorted for size, and then cut in this machine. Take a leaf out of your next cup of tea, and you'll see its been cut and rolled. Tea chests are made on the premises, and filled by machinery. Then it looks as though it's suddenly come alive, but in fact it's just being shaken, so that the cases are filled to capacity. That's where the tea comes from, and now it's on its way to you.

IV. FOOTBALL: ENGLAND VS SCOTLAND

IV. FOOTBALL: ENGLAND VS SCOTLAND - Lord Louis Mountbatten's often in the newsreels, but rarely without an entourage of distinguished men in uniform. Well, this was a day off to meet English and Scottish football stars. Chinese visitors watched what to them must have been a strange sport. It was a pretty strange game for the Scots too. They never seemed to get going, and the game lacked the typical Scots attack. Individual Scots did well, like Keddy, their back, but throughout the game the Scots forwards were too light and nor nearly clever enough to overcome their handicap. From the English point of view - the man of the hour was Wrigglesworth. Watch him in these pictures, he's no. 7. Here he is again. England's wonder outside right. It was England's game, three goals to nothing; a result which owed not a little to unbeatable speed and brilliant footwork of England's Wrigglesworth.

V. TORPEDO TESTING IN THE INDIAN OCEAN

V. TORPEDO TESTING IN THE INDIAN OCEAN - With intricate driving and fuse mechanism in its head, a torpedo needs careful testing under war conditions. Hooked underneath the attacking plane, it adds a ton or more to the load. Men who fly torpedo carrying planes need plenty of skill even more courage. The attack must be fast and near the waterline. And that means near the enemy's guns. At sea, recovery vessels await the mock attack. Coming in low and close, the torpedo is launched. For test, the torpedo carried a smoke signals, guiding the ships crew to the place where it has fallen. First big scale use of this means of attack by the allies was at Taranto, where daring pilots crippled a large part of Italy's fleet. After recovery, the torpedo goes down by hydraulic crane into the hold for inspection. A group like this with their proper war fittings would cost thirty thousand pounds.

VI. MORE CANTEENS FOR THE TROOPS

VI. MORE CANTEENS FOR THE TROOPS - As yet it's no more than a notice board, and, as Brigadier Muirhead explains to the Commander-in-Chief, a ground plan. But it's a No. 1 priority in building, and work on it is being rushed ahead. Lady Auchinleck and Mr and Mrs Dalmia were at the foundation stone ceremony. Sir Feroz Khan Noon, Chairman of the Canteen Committee stressed the need for places like this. Next came General Auchinleck, and then he went on to lay the foundation stone. Queer thing about foundation stones is that they're never in the foundations, but always feet above it. Anyway, this one, in the traditional phrase, was well and truly laid.

VII. FOOD AND FUEL FOR THE PEOPLE

VII. FOOD AND FUEL FOR THE PEOPLE - Arriving by plane in Madras. The Viceroy, welcomed to the Province by the Governor and Lady Hope, went on to see some of the very simplest aspects of the province's daily life. Simple, but vital, like the work done in organising fuel supply in this depot. Life in the villages is simple, too, but to the villager its problems are as complex as those the Viceroy has to face himself. Lord Wavell heard about those problems and saw some of them for himself. In fact, on the question of the quality of grain, Lord Wavell virtually called an informal committee meeting on the spot. At Coimbatore the scene became international with a visit to an evacuee camp. Children from Greece and children from Burma reminders that the war stretches its hand far in space and time. Across the world, down through generations. His Excellency saw a boy scout troop and a very charming guard of honour.
