[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The message trying to be conveyed in the Duck And Cover video from 1951 was the importance of taking cover and protecting oneself during a nuclear attack or atomic bomb explosion.

Two pieces of evidence from the example that support this message are:

1. The video showcases a cartoon character, Bert the Turtle, demonstrating the proper way to "duck and cover" by quickly getting down on the ground and covering his head and neck with his shell when he sees a bright flash or hears a loud noise. This emphasizes the idea that taking cover and protecting oneself can help reduce the risk of injury during a nuclear attack.

2. The narrator of the video repeatedly emphasizes the importance of practicing the duck and cover drill regularly in order to be prepared for a potential attack. The video encourages viewers to take the threat of nuclear war seriously and stresses the need for individuals to take responsibility for their own safety by following the recommended safety guidelines.
