Dusting planes (agricultural sprayers) fly mainly at dawn and dusk when the wind dies down. Their extreme proximity to the ground can turn any sudden gust of wind into an accident. They hedge-hop over obstacles, must remain low to the very edge of the field to be effective. Former bootlegging pilots are supposed to be in demand because "they can miss a tree by inches and set down on a dime." Seabrook Farms, between Bridgeton and Vineland, New Jersey

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
