Ammonia is made here by the high-pressure synthesis of nitrogen and hydrogen. The ammonia thus secured is converted at Muscle Shoals to ammonium nitrate for use in the making of high explosive shells.

A little miss hitting the mark. Although her mind is far from vengeance to be wrecked on the Axis powers, this little lady is contributing to their defeat. She has gathered up an old bicycle tire and other odds and ends to contribute to the scrap rubber collection drive. Reclaimed rubber made from these materials is playing an imcreasingly important part in the war effort. Large percentages of "reclaim" are now being used in many material articles, such as combat tires, self-sealing gas tanks, etc.. Help build up Uncle Sam's scrap rubbe pile by contributing any no longer used rubber articles you may have

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. A member of the San Antonio Gas Model Club, which does its weekly flying at Kelly Field in the city of San Antonio in the southwestern U.S. state of Texas, proudly displays his amphibian model airplane, which has a six foot (1.8 meters) wing spread. When an earlier model crashed there was nothing left but one good wing. This young model enthusiast decided to build a new plane around it. He built an amphibian and turned out a perfect flying job. The plane is made of balsa wood covered with silk and waterproofing material.
