The Street Life of Scutari. A typical scene in the streets of old Scutari in Albania. The buildings are irregular, lop sided affairs. Cattle, pigs and barnyard fowl mix indiscriminately with the people, whose dress was strongly Oriental. But now an Occidental note is creeping into it, due to the country's complete dependence for its first clothes in five years upon America. For the first year the American Red Cross has been distributing used garments among the ragged and wretched of the country

Three related drought refugee families stalled on the highway near Lordsburg, New Mexico. From farms near Claremore, Oklahoma. Have been working as migratory workers in Calfornia and Arizona, now trying to get to Roswell, New Mexico, for work chopping cotton. Have car trouble and pulled up alongside the highway. "Would go back to Oklahoma but can't get along there. Can't feed the kids on what they give you (relief budget) and ain't made a crop there you might say for five years. Only other work there is fifty cents a day wages and the farmers can't pay it anyways." One of these families has lost two babies since they left their home in Oklahoma. The children, seventeen months and three years, died in the county hospital at Shafter California, from typhoid fever, resulting from unsanitary conditions in a labor camp

Mrs. Mary N. Silveira, who is managing editor of the Portuguese Journal, was born in the Azores Islands. She and her husband have owned and published this Portuguese paper since 1917. Mr. Silveira has been sick for the last five years and Mrs. Silveira has been in full charge of the paper. "Through the medium of this Portuguese language newspaper, we are able to reach those older members of the community and state who have not learned the English language. Many of those people speak English, but as far as the written language is concerned we have been mostly interested in giving to the Portuguese a full coverage of local, national and international news because we believe that by this way the people of Portuguese descent become better citizens of the United States." says Mrs. Silveira

I tried to get her photo at home when they stopped working, but the child stubbornly refused to be taken.

Work was light and only a small crew was at work, but within an hour I found at factory and at the homes the following: (See label 2022) [#2022 caption: ...Two children of five years.

Agriculture. Guayule cultivation. Mature guayule shrubs, about five years old. In harvesting, the entire shrub is dug up since rubber occurs in both roots and branches. Guayule plantings will produce an estimated 600 tons of rubber in 1943, provide a crop in 1944 which should yield 33,000 tons and a harvest in 1945 to yield 47,000 tons. An annual production of 70,000 tons to 80,000 tons will materialize if full capacity of nurseries now being built is utilized. This program is part of the Department of Agriculture's Emergency Rubber Project administered by the Forest Service under congressional authorization "to make available a source of crude rubber for emergency and defense uses"

Women Who Know What War Means. A Montenegrin Mother and her daughter on their way to market with the product of their tiny farm outside of Podgoritza. The father and son of this family fell in the war and for five years, these two women have been living off the product of a half acre of rocky land. This crop of hay, they raised and gathered themselves. Now they are toting it on their backs to market. They did not know of the generosity that America was offering their land, and were surprised when stopped by an American Red Cross Officer and told that if they were in need of clothing and food, the Red Cross would supply them. The bundle of garments at the mothers feet was their present from America. It is the first new clothes they have had in five years

"Renters." Itinerant Texas farmers who rent a farm for a year or so and then move on, giving them nomadic habits and everything is temporary. House unpainted and ill-cared for. The children from five years old upward pick cotton and help with the farm work, but get little or no schooling. It is estimated by State University that 300,000 children are thus affected in Texas alone. See Hine report Texas. Beginning with the five year old girl here who picks some, all work including the women. The nine year old girl picks one hundred and fifty pounds a day. Father is in town. Farm comprises fifty acres and they get about twenty bales of cotton, this year which is not a good year. Been here one year. Farm of J.W. Vaughn. Route 6. Location: Corsicana, Texas.

Lawrence is seven years old but "he spends all he earns" his brother says. Boyce [?], makes 75 cents a day, and has a hard time keeping the others at work. Boyce is ten years old.

The Street Life of Scutari. A typical scene in the streets of old Scutari in Albania. The buildings are irregular, lop sided affairs. Cattle, pigs and barnyard fowl mix indiscriminately with the people, whose dress was strongly Oriental. But now an Occidental note is creeping into it, due to the country's complete dependence for its first clothes in five years upon America. For the first year the American Red Cross has been distributing used garments among the ragged and wretched of the country

Three related drought refugee families stalled on the highway near Lordsburg, New Mexico. From farms near Claremore, Oklahoma. Have been working as migratory workers in Calfornia and Arizona, now trying to get to Roswell, New Mexico, for work chopping cotton. Have car trouble and pulled up alongside the highway. "Would go back to Oklahoma but can't get along there. Can't feed the kids on what they give you (relief budget) and ain't made a crop there you might say for five years. Only other work there is fifty cents a day wages and the farmers can't pay it anyways." One of these families has lost two babies since they left their home in Oklahoma. The children, seventeen months and three years, died in the county hospital at Shafter California, from typhoid fever, resulting from unsanitary conditions in a labor camp

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Men at the wheels of large valves regulate the flow of oil into oil tankers at a U.S. Atlantic coast seaport. The oil, flowing from large storage tanks on the dock, is being transhipped to the armed forces of the U.S. and other of the United Nation. Through valves like these pour the derivative products of some of the 1,601,250,000 barrels of oil which the U.S. oil industry will produce this year. The fact that a U.S. Liberator four-motored bomber consumes 1,800 gallons of gasoline in one six-hour bombing run, enough to supply the average citizen motorist with fuel for four or five years of motoring, indicates the heavy volume of oil supplies required in the modern war
