Experience the American Journey through our country's visual heritage in this historical recording provided by the National Archives of the United States. From the U.S. Army's "The Big Picture" television series, 1950-1975. STORY OF CIVILIAN ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS TOLD ON "THE BIG PICTURE" -- "Look Toward Tomorrow" is a film designed to supplement the long-range recruitment program, set up by the Army, for civilian scientists and engineers. It is intended to help create in the public mind a climate of respect and prestige for Army science and technical work which will encourage young men and women to consider Army civil service in their future planning over the next few years. Treated from the overall point of view of the Army, "Look Toward Tomorrow" touches base with five of the technical services: Signal, Ordnance, Engineers, Chemical, and Quartermaster. This half-hour production highlights significant scientific and engineering work which has been accomplished or is being developed in the Army with emphasis on the role of the young civilian scientist and engineer.
