Bantam, Connecticut. The kapok room in the Warren McArthur upholstery shop is screened off to prevent the feathery filling from flying freely about the plant. Expert at stuffing kapok into cushions are Barbara Skilton and Frances Humphrey. Barbara, at left, lives in Morris, the next town to Bantam, at her father's farm, where several other workers in the plant board. Her husband works at the Waterbury Brass Company, and they have a son two years old. Frances, a graduate of Litchfield High School, prefers this work to the secretarial position she used to have in Torrington. "There is more money, and you don't have to worry about it at night," she says. Both girls began work in Bantam in December, 1941
