CANADIAN CIVIL DEFENSE ATOMIC BOMB CARTOON MOVIE "THE HOMELESS ONES" 28202

Created in 1954 by Canada's Department of National Health and Welfare, "The Homeless Ones" is a terribly grim cartoon that tells the story of an atomic attack on a Canadian center of population and the untold death and destruction it would leave in its wake. This film, directed primarily at civil defense welfare workers, illustrates how such a disaster could be alleviated by people organized, trained and prepared for such an eventuality. Drawn by Sidney Goldsmith, who created many non-fiction and educational cartoons for the National Film Board in a career that lasted from the 1940s through the 1980s.
