Penny and patriotism in a wartime allegory
A war department education film depicts a draftee cherishing a Lincoln penny as a symbol of liberty and national unity. The soldier’s journey through camp life leads to a renewed understanding of the United States and its ideals. The piece ends with a hope he remains true to those beliefs. A lighthearted note praises Father for restraint on fashion prices, hinting at a market ceiling and civic frugality.
