The film “[Home Movies: Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp., Homestead District Works: Supervisors Picnic, June 11, 1949, Lithuanian Country Club and at South Park]” captures a lively day among the supervisors of Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation’s Homestead District. Held at the Lithuanian Country Club, the picnic features scenes of camaraderie as the men enjoy baseball, horseshoes, and spirited outdoor activities, all while dressed in their workday attire, including ties and rayon slacks. Later, the setting shifts to South Park, where similar activities unfold, including baseball, more horseshoes, and men relishing corn on the cob. The footage concludes with scenes of carnival games.
