Hershey, with the aid of a barrel chart, attempts to clarify the muddled situation which exists in Selective Service today. United States Helicopter For Sea Rescue The U. S. Coast Guard dramatically demonstrates its life saving, sea-going helicopter. It hovers over a foundering shipwreck victim—then quickly flies him to refuge, ashore. United States Soldiers Nominate 19 Year Old Beauty As Regiment Sweetheart The 3rd Infantry Regiment gets a live pin up girl when pretty Barbara Reynolds, 19, is elected sweetheart of the Regiment. She presents them a beautiful flag, then the line sort of forms to the right, to get a kiss or two from the blushing miss. Italy 1944 Eruption Of Mt. Vesuvius Mt. Vesuvius, one of the land marks of the world, breaks into active eruption. Restive since its last marked violence in 1906, the volcano proceeds to make up for lost time. Clouds of gray sulphur smoke darken the sky. Rivers of molten lava roll off the crater, and down the slopes, at a temperature of 2,500 degrees. Walls of lave, 25 feet in height, move 12 feet a minute. Orchards and vineyards are frizzled. The lava reaches the town of San Sebastiano (which nestles on the mountain’s side), and stone structures are pushed over like house-of-cards, then crushed. Frantic citizens race about, moving their belongings, helpless to resist the oncoming walls of fire. The patron Saints are appealed to, steam issues from fissures in the street, statues are pushed over, and the people are panic stricken. Then the good offices of AMG steps in and feeds and cares for them. Within a radius of 30 miles, lava ash covers the countryside, as though a sand storm had gone berserk. G I’s and Italians shovel and bulldoze the ashes out of the streets to make them passable. We look back at Vesuvius and it is still belching—its smoke plume towering in the sky, mute, mysterious symbol of the destructive forces in nature. --Contemporary Royalty Free Stock Footage Library: --Business ---- Celebrations ---- Concepts ---- Education ---- Generations ---- Health and Medical ---- Lifestyles --Modern Military ---- Nature Scenic ---- Nature Wildlife ---- Environmental Education ---- On Location ---- Sports Today --U.S. Presidents ---- Weather Watch ---- Contemporary Tragedies And Disasters ---- Motion Graphics - Special Effects --Historical Public Domain Stock Footage Library: --Historic Military And Nuclear Films ---- Newsreels: Events At Home And Around The World ---- Flashback In Time --NASA Space Exploration ---- Classic Cartoons ---- Christmas Programming ---- Religious Programming --Hollywood Films, Television And Trailers ---- Classic Cuts: Single Clip Downloads --Buyout Footage Company Links: --Buyout Footage Homepage ---- About Buyout Footage ---- Stock Footage License Info ---- Submitting Footage To Us --Buyout Footage Site Search ---- Buyout Footage Sitemap ---- Buyout Footage Return Policy --Email Us - Stock Footage Request
