Car pooling at Lockheed Vega. Sheila gets off next. Walt and Jerry, the only two left, are neighbors and live nearby. Jerry lives about 10 1/2 miles from the plant, works six days a week and drives twenty-one miles a day. 6000 miles a year just getting to and from work. All these riders, except Mary, formerly drove their own cars and piled up a daily total of eighty-three miles. This single example of car pooling results in a seventy-five percent reduction of rubber

Car pooling at Lockheed Vega. Arrangements are made by phone, and Don's car is left at home. The few miles left in those tires of his can be used for emergency, or the car may be put completely out of service for the duration.

Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. This maze of rolling cranes, at a large Eastern shipyard is a typical scene in many large shipyards at work on ships for Uncle Sam's Navy and merchant fleet. Stocks of material are piled up for the cranes to take to vessels under construction so there is no delay in production while waiting for sections or materials. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland
