Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Strontium Lollipops!. DESCRIPTION: Our pictures show scientists testing milk and cheese for the dangerous factor of Iodine 131. What happens if it reaches danger point? Dr Douglas Ash says that the effects of radio-active minerals in fall-out can be counteracted by a dose of the same minerals in natural form. Just take some strontium rock. Add an extract from seaweed and sea-kale, gathered by the doctor’s children on a beach at Bexhill, then mix it with sugar solution, form it - and you’ve got a strontium lolly. What’s more, his wife feeds them to the family! SHOTLIST: Key scene. (2 shots) scientists working on lollies. MCU man pours milk into tube. MCU cheese being whipped up.
