Bantam, Connecticut. The kapok room in the Warren McArthur upholstery shop is screened off to prevent the feathery filling from flying freely about the plant. Expert at stuffing kapok into cushions are Barbara Skilton and Frances Humphrey. Barbara, at left, lives in Morris, the next town to Bantam, at her father's farm, where several other workers in the plant board. Her husband works at the Waterbury Brass Company, and they have a son two years old. Frances, a graduate of Litchfield High School, prefers this work to the secretarial position she used to have in Torrington. "There is more money, and you don't have to worry about it at night," she says. Both girls began work in Bantam in December, 1941

Bantam, Connecticut. Defense homes. Three-year-old Ann Heath, daughter of Fred Heath who operates a turret lathe in the Warren McArthur casting room. She has her own little footstool so that she can wash her own hands in the sink of the bathroom in the four-room defense housing unit where the Heaths live.

Dante Electric Company, Bantam, Connecticut. The shop is busy, so Anna, oldest of the five Dante girls lends a hand with a drill press. Anna operates the Bantam Beauty Salon, but because she has difficulty with hot water during the winter, she closes the shop from early January through March. Her "boyfriend" (Anna says they are not engaged) works regularly at the American Brass Company in Torrington. If he puts in an eight-hour day there, he works for another four hours at the Dante Electric. Often now, however, he puts in a twelve-hour day in Torrington, and on those days does not work for Dante

Bantam, Connecticut. War workers' homes. Fred Heath runs a turret lathe at the Warren McArthur plant, where he's been working since August 1941. He formerly worked in a machine shop in his native city Torrington. One of the first families to move into the new war workers' homes in Bantam, the Heaths, who have been married for five years, had previously been living in a furnished room in Torrington. Mrs. Heath formerly lived in Winsted, a town of about 25,000 people just a dozen miles from Torrington. They are proud of their new home and of the comfortable new furniture they bought on the installment plan in Torrington. They have besides the kitchen, a large living room, a modern bath, a medium-sized master bedroom and a smaller room for their three-year-old daughter, Ann
