Crawley Films LimitedProduction credit:narrator, Fred DavisSponsor:Central Mortgage and Housing CorporationDescription:The film is designed to sell Ajax, Ontario as a "planned industrial community". The film provides a short history of Ajax - as a munitions supplier during the war - and as an out-of-town campus for the University of Toronto immediately after the war. The film provides extensive statistics regarding industry already in place in Ajax; its proximity to various markets. The film also lists Ajax's many attributes, with extensive footage of many features already in place, and being built. Included are a steam plant, a school, the fire department, the hospital, apartment buildings, housing, stores, a planned shopping centre, banks and shots of television equipment at Pye.
