In a room like this in an industrial plant, a little injury is deprived of its chance to be a big one. From the points of her starched cap to the points of her scissors, the industrial nurse is a discouragement to the germs of infection, while her sympathetic interest, her willingness to do everything she can, is an antidote for a grudge against the firm.

Barrage balloon manufacture. Neck and neck in the stretch. Appearing like race horses galloping down each side of a long strip of barrage balloon fabric, the worker with the scissors apparently finishing ahead of the fellow with the electric fabric cutter. Actually the scissors are not used for cutting, but for "touch up clipping" only, since the power cutter is so much faster. After these men have cut the patterns, the pieces are sent to "seamers" who assemble the individual pattern pieces into strips of "gores," which in turn are assembled into completed barrage balloons. General Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio
