This slide would have been shown as part of a national campaign from the 1970s (approximately). In the early years of Civil Defence some print media outlets, angered by government refusal to include them in emergency planning sessions, were reluctant to support Civil Defence's non-emergency press releases. As a result, direct messages like this one in cinemas would have been very valuable.
The slide shown here was screened during intermission in the wider Manawatu/Horowhenua area.
