Bantam, Connecticut. One of the busiest sections of the Warren McArthur plant is the toolroom, with lathes turning for sixteen, and sometimes twenty-four hours daily. At the extreme left is Creighton Blanchard, who learned to operate a lathe at trade school in his hometown of Rutland, Vermont. Blanchard married a Rutland girl when he came to Bantam in July, 1941, and they have moved into a three-room unit of the new government housing project near the plant. Most popular reading matter in their comfortably furnished new home is the Rutland Herald, for Creighton insists that "You just can't get along without your hometown paper."

Rep. Bloom presents sculptress with check from anonymous New Yorker to save home. Washington, D.C., Nov. 18. Early this week a reporter on a local paper discovered that Adelaide Johnson, sculptress, who created the Susan B. Anthony Sufferagist Group in the U.S. Capitol, was about to be evicted from her bare house. She had no means of moving several busts and statues which she had in the house and had set about destroying them. The matter was called to the attention of Rep. Sol Bloom of New York who investigated. An anonymous woman in New York sent a thousand dollars, and other amounts brought the total up to almost $2,000. Rep. Bloom arranged a suitable agreement with the realty company, and now Miss Johnson, shown here receiving the check, will be allowed to stay and continue her work. In the background is a bust of Susan B. Anthony
