A Friend for Supper

Bjerring, Gudrun, (film director.). McInnes, Graham, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Ottawa), (film producer.).

Summary: During World War II, a teacher explains how children in Russia, China, and occupied Europe are going hungry, and how Canada is helping to remedy the situation. A classroom film for urban children, A Friend for Supper appeals to the child's sense of compassion. Wasting food is like taking it from hungry children, but a clean plate is like having a friend for supper.
