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.

Production. Airplane manufacture, general. A skilled jig builder lines up a metal plate prior to cutting it to the correct contour. Employed at the Inglewood, California, plant of North American Aviation, Incorporated. This plant produces the battle tested B-25 ("Billy Mitchell") bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 ("Mustang") fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe

Priorities unemployment. No more money. John Jones, silk worker, is a victim of "priorities unemployment." It might have been James Smith, rubber worker. It might have been anybody. The "priorities unemployment" is part of a process of changing over, of retooling. And it's a temporary part, in most cases. Defense industries are expanding. In the long run, the defense program will make more jobs than it will break. It has already created 4,000,000 new jobs and there will be 2,500,000 more by April 1942. Production skills are needed for defense, John Jones'skills, James Smith's skills. How does "man meet job?"

With a useful storage capacity of approximately 1,330,00 acre feet, this reservoir will make possible the addition of nearly 100,000 kilowatts of continuous power to the TVA system in dry years and almost 170,000 kilowatts in the average year
