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

A poster comes to life. Sergeant Vineyard knows a lot about howitzers and anti-aircraft guns but he'd never seen a machine like this giant trip-hammer until he visited an Allegheny-Ludlum steel mill. A skilled worker at the mill explains the shaping of steel for armaments to the Sergeant, whose appreciation for the fine art of steelmaking grows by the minute.

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

Columbus, Georgia. Metal shelters and tents of Army men and construction workers in backyard of W.T. Mullis, who owns home and property and has grocery store on main highway about three miles from Fort Benning. For the shelters they pay ten dollars a month. For trailer or tent space two dollars a week. Mrs. R.M. Davis, whose husband is a First Sergeant at Fort Benning, now occupying metal shelter, used to live in hallway space in local home nearby and paid twenty dollars a month and had to furnish own bed. Her neighbor said "I hope these real estate men and people in Columbus who are charging so much and stealing from the poor people have to sit in their empty homes and shacks and starve when the defense program is over and finished."

When Mrs. Woolslayer said "I'd like you to try a piece of my cake," the welder and the Army Sergeant forgot all about the war and fighting and production, and embarked on a Sunday afternoon gossip session the like of which you'll find in Iowa, Kentucky, Oregon or Vermont.
