"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

A poster comes to life. Picture of a soldier learning something about his gun. Sergeant French L. Vineyard, on furlough to meet his comrades of the "Men Working Together" poster, watches the heat treatment of steel tubing at an Allegheny-Ludlum mill.

A poster comes to life. A reciprocal engagement is carried out at Sergeant Vineyard's army post, where welder George Woolslayer and Aviation-radio Chief John Marshall Evans (right) learn about life in the Army. Woolslayer was invited to the post after he had shown the servicemen through the steel mill where he works. In this way, the colleagues of the "Men Working Together" poster learned about one another, and gained new respect for the part each plays in the war against the Axis.

These mechanics servicing a B-17 somewhere in the South Pacific warzone are unsung heroes of the Army Air Force. For every member of the flying crew, there are at least ten ground men who work long hours to keep them flying. Left to right: Sergeant Frank Piotroszer, Hadley, Massachusetts; Corporal William Smith, Woodside, Long Island, New York; Corporal Irvin Andreazza, Weed, Colorado; and Corporal Abe Brodax, Brooklyn, New York

A poster comes to life."This reminds me of home," said Sergeant Vineyard as he downed a forkful of Mrs. Woolslayer's devil's food cake. 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. As American as baseball, the Sunday afternoon visit is a friendly and democratic means of relaxation, common to soldier, worker, bank president and schoolchild alike. Proudly sitting next to Sergeant Vineyard is Georgia Ann Woolslayer, eight. Allegheny-Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
