film, ''Duck and Cover," died Wednesday at Bridgeport Hospital after a
long illness. He was 89.</em></p><p><em>Millions of schoolchildren in the 1950s saw the film.</em></p><p><em>In the case of an atomic attack, children were advised to duck beneath a table or desk and cover their heads.</em></p><p><em>Mr.
Mauer, a Stratford resident, wrote the script for the film during a
brief foray into the film production business with Archer Productions
in the early 1950s.</em></p></blockquote><p>You can read the rest of the article <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/globe/obitua ... and_cover/" target="_self">here</a>. </p><p>Thanks to <strong>Cimmerian Nights</strong> for the tip. </p><blockquote><p> </p></blockquote>
