U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) visits Pine Mountain Valley Grammar School, Georgia
President Franklin D. Roosevelt, with his daughter, Anna, seated beside him, drives his personal hand-controlled 1931 Plymouth PA Phaeton open car into the courtyard of the Pine Mountain Valley elementary school, built as part of a Works Progress Administration (WPA) federally funded project during the Great Depression. Teachers and children and their families are gathered to greet him. Several Secret Service agents walk behind the car. Many American flags are displayed and a chorus of children sings the tune, "Happy Days are here again." The President remains seated in his car as a group of women display a homemade quilt that they present as a gift. President Roosevelt speaks to the children (and other gathered) remarking that things looked improved at the school, since his visit the year before, and noting that the Government's efforts were helpful. President Roosevelt makes a few more comments, and then turns to the woman standing next to the car (possibly the School Principal) and asks: "Will you get in with me?" She gets in the car, and they sit a moment as he talks with a man nearby. A secret service agent places the gift quilt in the empty back seat of the car. The children serenade the President again. FDR drives away through the crowd, followed by Secret Agents on foot and in an automobile.

Proclamation by American President Franklin D Roosevelt on the Selective Service Registration, in the lead up to America's entry in World War 2. President Roosevelt delivers a radio message to American citizens from the White House in Washington DC, USA. He says that "There is both the opportunity and the need for many thousands to assist in listing the names and addresses of the millions who will enroll on registration day at school houses, polling places and town halls. The Congress has enacted a law establishing a selective method of augmenting American Armed Forces. Young men should come from the factories and the fields, the cities and the towns, to enroll their names on the registration day. Everyone should renew within their hearts the conception of liberty. Americans should resolve to hold high the torch of freedom in this darkening world so that our children and their children may not be robbed of their rightful inheritance."
