Line up! Home nursing class: the nation's power ... a healthy home!
Red Cross enrolment poster: a yellow pennant reading 'Line up!' and a white flag with the red cross reading 'Home Nursing Class' fly over a night-time aerial view of lit suburban houses. The Red Cross emblem is set over the whole neighbourhood (transfer), and the closing line 'The nation's power ... a healthy home!' is a broad virtue slogan (glittering generalities).
