| Description: | RAG SALVAGE (aka Little Annie's Rag Book )Rubber puppets filmed in cartoon type sequence showing collection of rags and old clothes for the war effort. The sound is a song in rhyme telling the A.B.C. of the need for rags and old clothes. Animated doll reading book sitting on a pile of rags. Singsong narrator reads through alphabet (A-D) as animated dolls look around the house to see where scrap rags can be found and how they are used. "A is for army hut... B is for bandaging... C is for camouflage... D is for our duty..." (there are drawings to depict the alphabet too) Little Annie has 'made a salvage book that shows you how to salvage rags and tells you where to look...' Annie holds her book and shows it to her family. Her father rummages under the stairs and pulls out rags. The family look in the wardrobe and pull out more things. They hold some sacking. In the roof, they rummage through an old trunk. Father slides down the attic ladder and lands in a box of salvaged material. The family wait at the door for the rag collector and wave him goodbye as he leaves with a heavy sack. The rhyme ends 'just another little thing to help to win the war' End title: 'Let your rags do their stuff. | |
