Migrant camp, Weslaco, Texas. Local employment men say that there was no need for migrant labor to handle the citrus and vegetable crops in the valley, the local supply of labor being ample for this purpose. Most of the local labor is Mexican and the labor contractors favor Mexican labor over white labor, partly because the Mexican will work much cheaper than whites. One white woman who was a permanent resident (her husband was on WPA (Works Progress Administration/Work Projects Administration) said that the white people who lived in the valley, had no trouble with the Mexicans. The Mexicans were good neighbors, she said, always willing to share what they had. She said the white migrants who came into the valley and resented and misunderstood the Mexicans caused the trouble between the two races. Some towns in this section permit camping only in trailers. The charge for camping in tents is about fifty cents per week, including water, which in some cases must be carried four city blocks. Privies are tin, very bad condition. Garbage is collected only once a week, with large dumps of decaying fruits and vegetables scattered among the camps. Some of the white migrants in this camp were very suspicious of governmental activity, due to the use by south Texas newspapers of the term "concentration camps" referring to FSA (Farm Security Administration) camps

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. Model plane builders get their craft ready for the air at a competitive meet at Modelhaven Airport, near the City of Baltimore in the eastern U.S. state of Maryland. Every year, young model builders bring to Modelhaven, "the world's smallest airport," model planes which show astonishing improvements over previous models. Model building has long been a popular hobby among American youngsters, and model builders of other years are now putting their practical experience to use in U.S. war plants and in the armed forces. The National Aeronautics Association, through its model division, the Academy of Model Aeronautics, has founded an Air Youth Divison to bring a coordinated activity in aviation to American youngsters. Post war plans include an Inter-American Model contest, to bring the young model builders of South American countries, the U.S., and Canada into friendly competition
