Child care and Jem Handy are not really what you could a usual pairing, yet here is his name sponsoring this film about how helath care has improved and therefore reducing the risk of kids coming down with whooping cough, dipheria, and other harmful diseases. Although quite patronizing and repetitive at times ("He's a lucky boy, John Junior, and so was John, his father.. he was lucky too!" but this provides a very interesting time capsule of how lucky WE are. 1
