Map depicts significant story on pickup in American industry. Washington, D.C. March 30. Tow lines on this chart hanging in the office of Isador Lubin, Commissioner of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, tell a significant story of the pickup in American Industry since 1933. Mr. Lubin points to line no. 1 which represents the consumers or nondurable goods industries (food, clothing, etc.) it began to climb in 1933 and has been on the upgrade ever since. Line no. 2 represents durable goods or heavy industry (steel building materials, machinery). It was hardest hit by the depression, lagged far behind even during most of 1936. But line no. 2 is going almost straight up. By March 1, it has attained a level almost parallel with consumers goods. This means that for the first time since 1929, payrolls in vital heavy industries are once again in a normal relation to payrolls in the consumer industries.

It has been many years since these veteran fire engines clanged down the street manned by doughty firefighters, but they are now getting into action in a fight far exceeding anything in their previous long career. Contributed to a salvage campaign by the City Commission of Griffin, Georgia, they will become modern war materials.

War workers' ideas. Jury votes on war workers' ideas that save man-hours and critical materials. More than 400,000 suggestions to speed war production have been submitted to suggestion committees in war plants, and the outstanding ones tested and sent through more than 2,000 War Production Drive labor-management committees to the above Board for Individual Awards at War Production Drive headquarters in Washington. All ideas recognized by awards are made available to all American war plants and interested United Nations through the system of plow-back into industry as a further benefit to war production. The Board for Individual Awards, composed of engineers and technical experts who contribute their time to evaluating production ideas, is shown at a Washington session. Left to right: Charles B.

Fuel conservation. Home insulation conserves fuel. Every homeowner can get behind his government's efforts to conserve fuel whether he heats his home with oil or coal, and both are strategically important. Fuel savings can be effected by keeping temperatures at reasonable levels, closing off unused rooms, and insulating in various ways. Windows can be weather stripped. Conservation of fuel will help release railroad and other transportation facilities for the movement of fighting materials
