The World

The women of 1941 get their very own newscast (!). Celeste Headlee introduces an episode of “Women in the News,” presented by the Nehi Bottling Company. We hear news about the first baby delivered during a black out drill and how women are getting to know their neighbors better by being air raid wardens. Plus, this week’s winners of Royal Crown Cola cartons.
