Here's another video from 1957.

"Newsreel stories reformatted for classroom use. Includes: United Nations Condemns Russia; Carrier Landings by Mirror; Arctic Ice Cap Adventure; Hummingbird Sanctuary; Low-Level Crop Dusters; Centuries of Telling Time; Old and New in Guided Missiles, showing a jet engine exploding when metal is dropped into it; and New York State's Erie Canal." - Taken from Archive.org

I find this funny how one end of the news to the other, it gets nicer. It's serious to start with... then it's talking about doves & humming birds... then clocks. It then gets a bit serious again. It's just funny transitions and it's narrated alongside an epic soundtrack like a movie! It's incredible, worth a watch.
