https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVsRYsNETpY
A Union Pacific traffic education short.
A reporter solved the mystery of why a brother and sister died in a fatal accident. But before he'd tell the audience or his boss the reporter detailed every step he took to figure out what happened.

Military Police: Town Patrol (1955)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_-UbRxlxCk
The 28-minute short shows two MPs as they patrol Agusta, Georgia. And it looks like someone spliced scenes from an entertaining-enough police procedural to make a dull educational film.
The MPs instruct one soldier on bus routes and pay close attention to try and spot soldier's shoes. But in between all that they come across a soldier who was beaten up and mugged.
In fact, the line "You better call the station and get an ambulance" is spoken with much less severity and gravity than the following dressing down of a poorly dressed soldier. "Okay, now you look like…

Helping Johnny Remember
A group of children assemble a cardboard city within what appears to be a dark, formless void of a room. But where's Johnny? And why won't the children play with him? Could it be because Johnny looks to be one incident involving frogs and firecrackers away from venturing down the career path of serial killer with a one paragraph entry in that true crime encyclopedia your weird uncle keeps in his bathroom?

It's Everybody's Business
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=220XsrVZ1rk
An educational cartoon from 1954 that lets the viewer know that capitalism was always the basis for all of our freedoms.
There's also the message that the government provides vital services but that means taxes, so be sure to protest the government taxes.
And there are also women in bikini's standing in front of open fridges. Because of course.

Your Safety First
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8pvcGWtXXE
Described as "Jetsons before the Jetsons", "Your Safety First" is half future fantasy, half history of automotive safety features. Grandpa who speaks like an old-time prospector ties it all together at the end.

Food for Thought (Short, 1949)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=ZavYMVXYam8
This educational short has a lot of absurd scenes: there's a rush to plate a loaf of sliced bread, regular meals of meat as big as a human head, and a lesbian teenaged daughter with a wedding ring.
It also has compelling characters: the generic overworked housewife whose love is conditional on good cooking, the father who can't eat spaghetti, and the daughter who loves pressure cookers so much she gets an advance on her allowance to buy one.
The narration is also top notch. There's a complete description about how pressure cookers work, lists of foods that one…
