"Champeen" indian club swinger. Washington, D.C., Sept. 13. After 35 years of "swinging" Detective Sergeant Richard "Dick" Cox of the Washington Police Department, has been crowned champion Indian Club Swinger of the World. He was awarded the honor in New York City after competing with other experts for the title left vacant by the recent death Gus Hill, well known sportsman and promoter. After being given up as a hopeless case because of lung trouble when he was 12 years old, Cox was started at his "swinging" by his father. A few months later, Dick had not only rid himself of the lung trouble but had given his first performance. 9/13/37

A poster comes to life. "I've been waitin' for this moment," said George Woolslayer as he shook hands with his poster-model colleagues, Sergeant Vineyard and Chief Evans, "and I'm mighty proud." Although Woolslayer was somewhat more voluble than his service friends, all of the men admitted to being thrilled at the meeting. None had met before. It was the soldier's and sailor's first visit to a steel mill and they watched the operations with interest and laid down a continuous barrage of questions. Working on a rush order, Woolslayer was not able to leave his job to meet the other two at the station, as had been originally planned. Introducing the men is Robert Foster, (second from left) Woolslayer's boss. Allegheny-Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Aviation-radio Chief John Marshall Evans (left) got a few pointers himself during this tour of the camp which was arranged after the servicemen had visited Woolslayer's steel mill.

A poster comes to life. Squinting against the terrific glare and bursts of steam charging up from a strip of red-hot steel which moves slowly past them, Sergeant Vineyard and Chief Evans pause with welder Woolslayer to watch precious river, which comes off the blooming mill and rolls toward the four-high strip mill at Allegheny-Ludlum. They're learning a lot, these servicemen of the "Men Working Together" poster, learning how their lives depend on the production workers of the country, without whose skill and strength the weapons of war could not be forged. Allegheny-Ludlum Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
