Production. B-24 bombers and C-87 transports. A two-girl riveting crew putting the skin on a nose extension of a big consolidated transport plane in a Western plant. The riveter working from the outside was a home girl before she took up war work. The helper, bucking the rivets from the inside of the nose, kept house for two brothers who have since entered service. The plane they are helping to make will carry one of the greatest human or cargo loads of any plane now in mass production.

Smithsonian exhibits model of new cultural center for Samoan Islanders. Washington, D.C., Nov. 15. Down in the Island of American Samoa the natives quite firmly believe that no white man can master their architecture and manner of construction without glue, pegs, or nails. Lt. Comdr. P.J. Halloran, U.S.N. assigned to the island, set about studying their methods of construction by tying all members of the building together with grass rope, and became so thoroughly familiar with it that he supervised construction of a native library for the islanders. Since way back, construction of buildings has been done in Samoa by members of a guild known as Agaiotupu, and so well did Comdr. Halloran learn the business that he was made a member of the Guild. Here is Iris Lou Sinnett, Secretary in the Office of the National Collection of Fine Arts admiring a model of the 84 foot building which has been placed on exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution here
