Fresh Laid Plans Cartoon (1951)

Deeply concerned with the rise of communism after the start of the Cold War, Harding University (then known as Harding College) worked with film studio John Sutherland Productions to produce a series of short animated films "to create a deeper understanding of what has made America the finest place in the world to live"! In Fresh Laid Plans a comedy of errors befalls a chicken community as a result of trying an owl-professor's "crackpot" ideas on price guarantees, farm payment, consumer subsidies, rationing, black market policing and taxation to pay the costs.
