Sandwiches, culinary book by S. T. Rorer

Food in Britain. All factories in Britain engaged in munitions or other government work are directed to provide canteens if they employ more than 250 workers. There are thousands of such canteens serving the major industries and other thousands in the smaller factories

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

Production. Launching of the SS Booker T. Washington. The SS Booker T Washington, first Liberty Ship named for a Negro slides down the ways at the Wilmington yards of the California Shipbuilding Corporation at its launching on September 29, 1942
