It was workers such as these Chinese peasants who finally seem to have convinced the Janpaese that aerial bombing alone will never halt traffic over the Bruma Road. As soon as a bomb falls, or as soon as a cloudburst washes out a section of this miraculous road, hundreds of Chinese peasants are somehow immediately on hand to repair the damage and keep the vital supplies moving on to the Chinese armies and guerrilla forces, which have been bearing the weight of the fight against fascism for years longer than any European nation

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Oil well derricks on the beach along the coast of the U.S. Pacific coast state of California indicate how thorough is the seach for oil which has been going on in America for more than eighty years. Some beach wells are drilled straight down to reach oil deposits, but others are drilled at an angle so that oil is being pumped from locations far under the sea. Sometimes the bottom of the well is a quarter mile or half mile from the shore, while surf washes the foundations of the steel tower on which the drilling or pumping machinery is placed. The thoroughness and efficiency of the U.S. oil industry in finding new oil deposits accounts for the enormous supplies produced in America for the modern machines of war. In 1944 according to a U.S. oil company official, the predictable U.S. crude oil total will reach 1,601,250,000 barrels

Cleanliness is part of Godliness with the Turk No matter how black his sins no good Moslem would think of entering the mosque for prayer without having made his ablutions. Outside each place of worship is a trough where each washes his feet before entering the church for prayer. This foot bath is just outside the mosque on the island of Proti where close to a thousand Russian refugees are being cared for by the American Red Cross.

Production. Aircraft. George "Randy" McCraw decorating a Vega Ventura bomber. Every ship that rolls off the line carries a cartoon aimed at the Axis. George came to work as a spray painter, then shifted to painting British insignia on sides of ships. He sometimes amused his fellow workers by drawing faces on ships during lunch hour, and was prevailed upon to put a big drawing on a ship for a special occasion. The idea took, and now George puts a gag drawing on each ship. The paint washes off with gasoline, but overseas gossip says these ships go into combat still bearing assorted Rudy Ostriches, Donald Ducks, Porky Pigs and a host of other cartoon characters
