Family moving into trailer at the FSA (Farm Security Administration) camp for defense workers. This family is from Minnesota. The man came to San Diego ten months ago and enrolled in a vocational school. He started to work at Consolidated Aircrafts as a riveter and is now a clerk in the machine shop. Before his family came out three weeks ago he lived in a cabin for which he paid twelve dollars per month. He said it was alright for a man but that he wouldn't take his wife and children into such a place. He got a furnished apartment for his family--it was two rooms, rental eleven dollars per week. His wife soon discovered that there was inadequate hot water and was overrun with roaches and rats. San Diego, California

Bantam, Connecticut. War workers' homes. Fred Heath runs a turret lathe at the Warren McArthur plant, where he's been working since August 1941. He formerly worked in a machine shop in his native city Torrington. One of the first families to move into the new war workers' homes in Bantam, the Heaths, who have been married for five years, had previously been living in a furnished room in Torrington. Mrs. Heath formerly lived in Winsted, a town of about 25,000 people just a dozen miles from Torrington.

De Land pool. Carr's Machine Shop. A typical small metalworking shop, Carr's repair plant in De Land, Florida, is now subcontracting on war production. When De Land organized its machines and manpower into a community pool to handle war work, it was discovered Carr's had two things: first class machinery that would work tolerances down to a split hair and first class machinists. Now, much of the precision work on the pool's contract is handled in his plant

De Land pool. Bits and parts. Casey's machine shop, a unit of the De Land, Florida industrial pool, couldn't make a certain washer fast enough for the contract. So F.W.

Now it sits in the yard, because of insufficient room in the little shop, and turns out eight washers a minute for the war machine. Operating it is young Norman Bane, who was an automobile mechanic up until six months ago, when he apprenticed as a machinist under Casey

De Land pool. Carr's Machine Shop. Nothing makes W.E. Mansfield so mad as the idea that Florida shops cannot do fine precision work.

Now seventy-one, he's turning out delicate precision parts for essential war equipment
