Bantam, Connecticut. Defense homes. The heating unit is in the kitchen of Fred Heath's four-room apartment in the new federally-financed homes for eighty families just a few minutes from the Warren McArthur factory in Bantam.

That cigarette Fred Heath holds is not tailor-made, by the way--he likes to roll his own
