The Childhood Years: Wash Behind Your Ears! (2-dvd set)

Do you remember your mother telling you to wash behind your ears or a patch of potatoes would start to grow there? How about being reminded to brush your teeth after every meal? These days we are bombarded by deodorant, toothpaste, soap and cleanser ads on a daily basis. Yet, you would be surprised that two generations ago hygiene in America was very poor! Running water was a novelty for much of America just 100 years ago! After World War II, advancing medical understanding made people realize that if America wanted to be healthy, everyone needed to keep clean!

So, during the 1940s, 50s and 60s a series of educational films were developed to teach America’s youth to keep germs at bay. This 2-dvd set contains the best, worst and funniest clips ever assembled. There is nothing dirty about this 2-dvd set!

We use the power of DVD technology to restore and preserve these classic clips forever!
