Winter Sports Champions of the World
Comic description: The comic begins with this text: "Started by the ancient Greeks, the Olympic Games stand for international friendship through fine sportsmanship. Athletes of 32 nations gathered in Cortina, Italy for the first part of the 1956 Olympics- the winter sports". The comic then goes on to mention some highlights of the 1956 Olympic games including olympic medalists and those who set new records. Underneath the iconic symbol of the olympics the text reads: "Over every olympic contest flies the flag bearing this symbol of the sporting friendship of all mankind. Rings stand for five continents. At least one of the colors-- blue, yellow, black, green, red-- appears in every nation's flag. In 1960 the flag will fly at squaw valley, Calif., when the U.S. will play host to the games".<br /><br />Public service comic published as a part of the National Social Welfare Assembly Comics Project. The Comics Project lasted from August 1949 - July 1967 and produced over 200 pages promoting citizenship and social values. <br /><br />Publisher's Note: "Published as a public service in cooperation with The National Social Welfare Assembly, coordinating organization for national health, welfare and recreation agencies of the U.S."

When They Come Home
<span>This pamphlet is specifically designed to educate the spouses, significant others, and family members of World War I soldiers on the topic of venereal disease. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />Page 2, paragraph 2 : "When men and girls are changing their occupations and ways of life, when war disciplines are being removed and when spirits are buoyant, the greatest temptations to self indulge amid dangerous pleasures occur. Cities and towns throughout the country face now the most important crisis -- the biggest emergency yet encountered in the fight against veneral disease.<br /><br />WHAT THE WAR HAS TAUGHT US<br /><br />'Our ignorance and failure in handling the problem of veneral diseases constitute the greatest crime of American civilization. This is the clearest lesson of the war'. "<br /><br />Page 4, paragraph 2 : "Now the returning soldiers, who have been given intelligent protection and wholesome recreation, are to be turned back to the civil communities. The federal government must, of nessecity, in the next few months, give up its wartime control. These men are <em>your </em>responsibility now."<br /><br />Page 8, paragraph 3 : "With war's final end, many war buildings, war jobs, and institutions will go to the scrap heap. But every item in the program of veneral disease control is as necessary to successful peace as to successful war. Don't scrap your patriotism and community spirit in this manner. There should be no peace for prostitution, no truce for the 'tenderloin', no armistice with veneral disease. Make your blows knockouts against vice. The soldiers, <em>when they come home </em>from the trenches, will be the first to join you in your fight."</span>

What Rockwell Will Do As Governor [Rockwell for Governor Campaign leaflet]
Two-sided campaign leaflet for George Lincoln Rockwell's 1965 gubernatorial campaign. One side appears to originate from Rockwell's organization, the American Nazi Party, and includes an advertisement for Hatenanny Records.<br /><br />The reverse contains a statement of belief from the Virginia Office of the United Klans of America, Chesapeake, Va.<br /><br />Rockwell's campaign platform promotes white schools, stopping federal bribery and extortion, law and order in Virginia, taxes and welfare, anti-subversive commission, and relocation benefits. His campaign values are supported by those of the Ku Klux Klan, which are enumerated in the pamplet, as well. <br /><br />The Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1866 by former Confederate soliders who sought to continue to intimidate and commit acts of violence against black Americans. Klan support and action surged in the 1920s, when they further adopted anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic, and anti-Semitic agendas. Likewise, there was another revival in the 1940s-1960s in response to the Civil Rights movement, school desegreation, and the pressure to end Jim Crow laws throughout the south. <br /><br />To maintain and garner support, the Klan associated themselves with Christianity, even using a burning cross to represent white Protestant identity.<br /><br />Mills E. Godwin, Jr. won the governorship with 296,526 of the <span>562,789 votes cast. Rockwell received <span>5,730 votes, coming in fourth behind Godwin, A. Linwood Holton, Jr. and William J. Story Jr.</span></span>

What Have Women Done With the Vote?
This article written by George Creel originally appeared in the March 1914 issue of Century Magazine and was reprinted in pamphlet form by the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Creel's article provides an analysis of the consequences of women being granted the right to vote, including the social, political, and economic implications. <br /><br />"The opponents of equal suffrage never tire of declaring that woman's place is the home. I agree with them most heartily. It is because of the home that I want women to have the vote... I have always thought, and still think that a government entirely by men is as stupid as a government entirely by women would be. There are as many <em>home</em> features in municipal or state administration as <em>business</em> features...."

Soon he was able to make friends and participate in extracurricular activities.

Lana Lang's tricked me!". Lana Lang sticks her head out from behind the curtain on stage and her thought bubble says: "I've proved Clark is Superboy once and for all!".]<br /><br />Public service comic published as a part of the National Social Welfare Assembly Comics Project.
