Houses of Gasoline Tins. Since the invasion of the enemy during which many houses in Montenegro were destroyed, any material that can be turned in to a shelter is used. This shows what several enterprising families did with gasoline tins that they salvaged from the American Red Cross garage, which furnishes transportation for the distribution of relief supplies in the district around Podgoritza. The cans were flattened out and pieced together with solder, wire, nails, and any other available means. These shacks are the result. Part of the devastation wrought in Podgoritza by the war can be seen in the roofless and town houses in the background
