Law and Social Controls (1949)

Uses the story of teens trying to extend the hours of their "Teen Canteen" as a vehicle for explaining customs, moral codes, and laws.

The gang at the "Teen Canteen" can't decide if they should close their establishment at ten thirty or eleven. Adult advisers guide them to the correct decision (ten thirty). Coronet obviously felt it plausible that resolving an issue such as this would require the efforts of both teens and adults -- though it's doubtful anyone else would. Some narration and crude animation. "Jane" also appears in Going Steady and you might recognize "Edward" from Dating Do's and Don'ts. This one grows on you.

Jack Mcgregor doesn't have to take shit from those bitches. Semper Fi!

[ANARCHY4FREEDOMnow]

I do not remember it saying anywhere in the constitution that american citizens need to be in compliance with social control laws. The definitions of Freedom and Liberty say nothing of Must Obey also. This clearly is nazi propaganda camouflaged as a citizens duty. Down with the forth reich! Banks can get the A.T.M. treatment. ( ass to mouth )

@clevelandphil At least someone other than Dick York got work after being in these things.

[BorderCityBandit]

the operative word is "CONTROL" thats the only thing that the system is concerned with other than making obscene amounts of money and of course world domination.and then of course they view us little people as "Useless eaters"

Jack has appeared in a lot of 1970 sitcoms.

199 years is a long time to spend in prison.
