Rent control. Protection for the home front. But the hardest hit were the inhabitants themselves. In a Texas town, an old widowed lady living on a small pension had paid $17.50 a month for a small home in which she and her daughter had lived for years. Threatened with a rent boost to $50, she wrote to the White House: "Please Mr. President, can't you stop this unlawful raising of rent on us? We don't even have $50 a month."

Spring pulpwood drive on the Brown Company timber holdings in Maine. The lake steamer's motor boat tows the safety boom to a cove on the shore so it will not be in the way when the steamer picks up the full boom. Later it will be put around the full boom as extra protection for the haul down the lake
Conservation. Glass gauges replacing steel. Brigadier General H.F. Safford, Chief of theProduction Service Branch, Ordnance Department, examines an exhibit of standard types of new glass gauges which replace steel gauges at the Frankford Arsenal. Glass gauges are lighter and cheaper than steel, permit greater visibility in inspection, are not as much affected by room temperatures and heat of operators' hands, are not corroded by perspiration, need no protection against rusting, do not acquire burrs that would change the effective sizes. They can save the annual use of 250 tons of critical tool steel in government arsenals alone
