Over the weekend, Penny had just finished filming a Public Service Announcement when she returned to Bu Peien to attend its premiere.
After the war ended, some of the problems the Federal Government had temporarily overlooked because of the war would return to the public eye. To prevent these conflicts and tensions from suddenly resurfacing and making people uncomfortable, the Federal Government stepped up production of public service announcements.
For example, there were campaigns promoting concern for people with disabilities.
Businesses and public facilities were encouraged to provide more dedicated access routes for people with disabilities. Supermarkets, for instance, should have special ramps and checkout counters for disabled customers.
People in wheelchairs could move around on their own by rolling their chairs, but they could not climb stairs. At the checkout counter, since they were always seated, it was also difficult for them to hand things to the cashier.
The public transportation system was another example. Buses were now required to extend a section of their doors after stopping, allowing wheelchairs to enter smoothly.
There were many things like this, as well as campaigns encouraging people to adopt infants and young children.
The war had claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, including many fathers and husbands.
Among the social responsibilities they had borne was raising children. But because of the war, they had lost their lives and could no longer fulfill that responsibility.
Some families could not afford to raise too many children and could only send some of them to places like Welfare Homes and orphanages.
This was also an increasingly obvious trend, so the Federal Government had increased the benefits for families adopting orphans.
When filing their taxes, they could deduct part of their tax liability. The Federal Government would provide free milk, offer infant and child supplies
