^^^^ 1 = AIR RAID drill preparing for an Atomic Bomb attack in a School during the cold war era. ....must be warmer weather since if it was cold out kids would have coats to put over their heads for radiation fallout.....also if inside a classroom then get under their desk.

2 = Folgers in your cup.

"Duck and cover"... That's what a short film instructed us to do as grammar school kids.

Don't laugh. there are at least several televangelist ministers who got their start down the road of shiny suits and Rolex watches by preaching on Sunday morning at some drive-in movie theater. One of his kids would run post to post with the collection plate.

I always liked in the Duck & Cover film it told you "when" you saw the atomic flash to get down and duck and cover. Even at an early age I knew it was too late when you saw the flash! But i guess it depends on how far away you are!!!
