Description
Summary:"Argument for the interstate highway system sponsored by Dow Chemical Company, a member of the 'highway lobby' by virtue of its manufacture of weed-control chemicals, plastics, and automobile-cleaning products. In the story Connersville, Indiana, learns it is to be bypassed by a new freeway. At a meeting, government officials, residents, state highway experts, and politicians view a film-within-the-film called Highway Challenge, and the locals are won over. Highway Hearing concludes with the argument that freeways should provide the greatest good to the greatest number of people."--Field guide to sponsored films, R. Prelinger.
