One of the War Department’s Army / Navy Screen Magazine newsreels, this film was shown to U.S. servicemen and war workers. Segments include STRICTLY FOR ESKIMOS which shows G.I.s in Iceland adjusting to life in the harsh arctic climate. The light hearted BLESSED EVENT tells how the U.S. Government arranges medical services for the pregnant wives of servicemen. These maternity services were provided by Uncle Sam for enlisted men at no cost.
