Duck & Cover

The overt message is to duck and dover when you see an atomic bomb or when you hear an atomic bomb warning. It also tells you to obey civil service officers.
The unintentional covert message is that the government can keep you safe.

This is partly informational and persuasion; it is informing you what to do during atomic bombs and persuading you to do it for your safety. This is propaganda in a way because we know in the back of our minds that ducking and covering will not protect us. This is keeping our fear and naivety. It presents the fact that the government can keep us safe in times of fear.
