Summary:
Home movie of a birthday party for Julius Weil (same party as "Vicki gives Opa Cake"). He is given birthday cards, a man plays guitar, and people clap along. The film then shows black and white photos of Julius and Helen, newspaper clippings, and footage of a banquet where Julius is honored. Shows Kenny pointing at a street sign for Julius Weil Drive. Julius Weil turned 75 in 1977 - likely that this film was a compilation of earlier footage meant for that milestone.

William C. “Bill” Smith of Oregon Educational Broadcasting, who hosts and narrates this group of programs, takes youngsters on a day’s jaunt to an Oregon “egg factory,” a dairy farm and a dairy manufacturing plant to show them that, though milk, butter and eggs still come from the same old reliable sources, the ways which they are processed have changed considerably. On a farm where 100,000 laying hens produce enough eggs in one day to feed cities the size of Schenectady; New York; St. Joseph, MO; and Kalamazoo, Michigan, we see how eggs are gathered, cleaned and graded, and sent to market. On the dairy farms we see modern milking methods and milk being transported to a manufacturing plant. Processes involved in bottling milk and making cheese are seen, and the ice cream bar section is visited.
