...Fair's managers announced that 80% of its buildings would be air-cooled. More ambitious were the Fair's publicity men who announced that Dallas would be cooled every evening by breezes from the Gulf of Mexico (250 miles away).

Hoskins Co. was incorporated in 1908, marketing an electric furnace developed during the Chromel experimentations...

Finally, to mournful music by Composer Thomson, are shown the ravages of the drifting dust that followed when drought, heat and winds struck the acres that should never have been plowed. From the Dust Bowl in their automobiles, in the summer of 1935, emigrate 30,000 refugees a month to seek whatever jobs they can on the roads leading Westward. Epilog of the film shows how the Resettlement Administration...
