Production. Parachute making. There is far more to hemming this parachute than running the sewing machine. The operator must match pencil marks on the braid with pencil marks on the seams to turn out infallible parachutes for men in the Air Force. Pioneer Parachute Company, Manchester, Connecticut

Victory food from American waters. Tomorrow's fishermen--young Gloucester boys push wagons of rosefish from the unloading pier to the processing plant where the fish are filleted and frozen. Many of the boys will follow their forefathers and fishermen in New England waters

Conversion. Toy factory. Stephanie Cewe and Ann Manemeit, have turned their skill from peacetime production of toy trains to the assembly of parachute flare casings for the armies of democracy. Along with other workers in this Eastern plant, they have turned their skill to the vital needs of the day, and in many cases have seen to it that the machinery they used to use does Uncle Sam's most important work today. Here, they are assembling parachute flare casings, using the same electric screwdrivers they formerly used to assemble the locomotives of toy trains. A. C. Gilbert Company, New Haven, Connecticut

Victory Gardens--for family and country. Young and old, everybody is Victory Gardening this spring, and there'll soon be hardly a backyard that's not under cultivation. Prior to planting, this gardener is raking the soil to pulverize and prepare it for seed

Miners at Dougherty's mine, near Falls Creek, Pennsylvania, sharpening their axes at the end of a day's work

Fort Knox. Maintenance of mechanized equipment. Army trucks and other vehicles at Fort Knox, Kentucky, are checked thoroughly, and at regular intervals. Wherever possible, motorized military equipment is maintained in constant tip top shape, instantly ready for strenuous action

Reciprocal aid. Two sergeants from Texas, Sergeant A. Baker and Technical Sergeant Roy Hill, carry a string of British bullets over their shoulders to a British Spitfire. American and British air forces work side by side in the European theatre, with British furnishing important supplies and equipment under the Reciprocal Aid Program

Fort Benning. Parachute troops. Picture of a man doing a good job. He's one of Uncle Sam's student paratroopers at Fort Benning, Georgia, but the way he's getting his chute under control would be credit to an oldtimer. A few minutes ago this man bailed out of a high-speed plane at a point calculated to bring him to the spot where he is landing. Good work, soldier
