Family moving into trailer at the FSA (Farm Security Administration) camp for defense workers. This family is from Minnesota. The man came to San Diego ten months ago and enrolled in a vocational school. He started to work at Consolidated Aircrafts as a riveter and is now a clerk in the machine shop. Before his family came out three weeks ago he lived in a cabin for which he paid twelve dollars per month. He said it was alright for a man but that he wouldn't take his wife and children into such a place. He got a furnished apartment for his family--it was two rooms, rental eleven dollars per week. His wife soon discovered that there was inadequate hot water and was overrun with roaches and rats. San Diego, California

Workers on Rickenbacker rescue boat. How mileage rationing can save lives on the battlefronts was pointed up dramatically by Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, who with six members of his crew were rescued after three weeks adrift on life rafts in the Pacific. "One tire that is not wasted on pleasure driving may save the lives of seven men as ours was saved," Rickenbacker said. One old rubber tire is sufficient to make a three-man raft of the type that saved the party in the Pacific

Workers on Rickenbacker rescue boat. They played a part in the rescue of Captain Eddie Rickenbacker and six men of his crew in the Pacific. Elmer K. Brown and Flossie Anson, of Akron, Ohio, built one of the two life rafts on which the party drifted for three weeks. Miss Anson, who has been continuously at work on boats and ballons for the past six years, said "it certainly was a worthwhile thrill and satisfaction to know that we had a share in the making of the boats which effected the rescue of the Rickenbacker party"
