"Always On Call" is a black-and-white, sound production from the 1930s, directed by John Kennedy and produced by Premiere Hardcastle in St. Louis. This video, authored by Kensiger Jones, explores the vital role of community chest agencies in supporting local communities. Officer Henry visits Mrs. Carney at home after receiving a call from concerned neighbors. Through examples of the services provided by community funds, such as the Stella Morris day nursery, Merriam Hospital, and the YMCA youth center, the video highlights the importance of community support. It also emphasizes the ongoing need for contributions to these agencies to ensure they can continue to offer essential services like childcare, rehabilitation, and a positive environment for young men, as well as support for the USO, foster care, and the elderly.
