Bantam, Connecticut. One of the busiest sections of the Warren McArthur plant is the toolroom, with lathes turning for sixteen, and sometimes twenty-four hours daily. At the extreme left is Creighton Blanchard, who learned to operate a lathe at trade school in his hometown of Rutland, Vermont. Blanchard married a Rutland girl when he came to Bantam in July, 1941, and they have moved into a three-room unit of the new government housing project near the plant. Most popular reading matter in their comfortably furnished new home is the Rutland Herald, for Creighton insists that "You just can't get along without your hometown paper."

New oversize trailer for war workers. Here's an answer to the problem of transporting defense workers to outlying industrial plants: It's the new oversize bus trailer made almost entirely of non-critical materials which held its Washington premier April 13. Hauled by an ordinary one-and-a-half-ton truck tractor, it holds 141 persons, and was designed and built by the Office of Defense Transportation and War Production Board (WPB) officials with the cooperation of private companies. Weight of the trailer is 12,000 pounds as compared with 17,000 pounds for a standard type 40-passenger city bus. The complete unit is fifty-five feet long
