Someone must have seen this short subject from the Civil Defense department, because when I was a kid, that was something we called other children to insult them.
It's a one-reel film from the Civil Defense folks telling you what to do in the event of Biological Warfare -- or, as they term it here, 'BW', which makes me think of Body Odor, also known as BO. Early on, one guys says "What am I expected to do about it?" and the message comes through: be clean, and do what the nice government people tell you to do. And don't panic. Which is pretty much the guy's attitude.
It was an era in which the government spent a lot of time and money telling you not to panic, and that we could survive anything. I didn't believe it then, and I don't now.
