- Reel 1
| 0:00 | Several very short film clips: Two unidentified elderly ladies seated, discussing how Bess Wallace Truman could whistle like a boy. They were evidently neighbors of Harry S. Truman in Independence. One of the ladies is shown speaking of President Truman in rest of footage: He had his feet on the ground. She never thought her nearest neighbor could come up to President Roosevelt. The greatest thing in the world is to be a man; Harry S. Truman proved he is a man. |
