Citation winners. Donald M. Nelson, (extreme left) Chairman of the War Production Board (WPB), and William G. Marshall (extreme right) director of the WPB, are here shown outside the White House with certificate winner Stanley Crawford, (second from left) and citation winner Edwin Curtiss Tracy, both employees of the RCA Manufacturing Company, Camden, New Jersey

Tire recapping. A recap job on a passenger car tire. The tire with a tread strip of reclaimed camelback rubber is put into a curing mold. The old tread surface had previously been ground down evenly and coated with rubber adhesive. The plan to recap passenger tires with reclaimed rubber camelback, approved by rubber director William M. Jeffers, was put into effect in February 1943 to reduce the demand for replacement tires and still keep civilian cars in service

In time of war there is no excuse for carelessness, and it is carelessness that is responsible for the loss of most tire mileage. Running into a curb can mean a break in the tire wall, or at least a weakening. Blowouts are more apt to occur when these sidewalls are in bad condition

Power and conservation. Chickamauga Dam, Tennessee Valley Authority. Insulators and transmission wires in the switchyard of the TVA's Chickamauga Dam, located near Chattanooga, 471 miles above the mouth of the Tennessee River. The dam has an authorized power installation of 81,000 kilowatts. The reservoir at the dam adds 377,000 acre feet of water to controlled storage on the Tennessee River system. The power that passes through this switchyard serves many useful domestic, agricultural and industrial uses

Civilian protection. Fire watchers from points of vantage on roof tops and streets maintain unceasing vigilance for fallen incendiary bombs. They immediately seek to control them with equipment stored nearby

Fort Knox. Maintenance of mechanized equipment. Army trucks and other vehicles at Fort Knox, Kentucky, are checked thoroughly, and at regular intervals. Wherever possible, motorized military equipment is maintained in constant tip top shape, instantly ready for strenuous action

Fort Benning. Parachute troops. Picture of a man doing a good job. He's one of Uncle Sam's student paratroopers at Fort Benning, Georgia, but the way he's getting his chute under control would be credit to an oldtimer. A few minutes ago this man bailed out of a high-speed plane at a point calculated to bring him to the spot where he is landing. Good work, soldier

Production. Marine boilers. Grinding of welded seams inside the drum of a large marine boiler at a Midwest plant which has converted its facilities to war production

Production. Small ramp boats. Fitting and painting small wooden ramp boats at a Southern shipyard. These thirty-six-foot carriers, built of prefabricated sections, are used for making beach landings of men and equipment. The completed boats are launched by crane and delivered in tows of six to eight. Higgins Industries

Fort Benning. Tommy gunners, armored forces. The tank soldier finds many chores for the Thompson sub-machine gun, familiarly known as the Tommy gun

Steel production. More iron for steel production. Hot molten metal flows from the tap hole into a trough at a big Eastern blast furnace is cast. Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation. Farrell, Pennsylvania

Tennessee Valley Authority. Construction of Douglas Dam. Inside the log cofferdam of TVA's new Douglas Dam on the French Broad River. This dam will be 161 feet high and 1,682 feet long, with a 31,600 acre reservoir area extending forty-three miles upstream. With a useful storage capacity of approximately 1,330,00 acre feet, this reservoir will make possible the addition of nearly 100,000 kilowatts of continuous power to the TVA system in dry years and almost 170,000 kilowatts in the average year
