A Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep ewe keeps a close eye on her lamb in the rocks below Cheesman Dam, one of the dams that slows and captures water from the South Platte River for use as part of Denver's drinking-water supply. Cheesman Dam, which was named for Walter Scott Cheesman, a Denver druggist, railroad builder, and designer of water infrastructure, was the world's tallest at 221 feet when it was completed in 1905

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

Gardens. Tulip garden, horizontal

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

Headed for last cleanup. Six giant truck tires, of the non-directional type are being wheeled in for cleaning and painting. This pattern, developed for the U.S. Army in 1941 is used for field equipment....gives excellent traction in forward or reverse because of the horizontal cleats, yet rides well on the highway on the continuous center rib. Firestone (General) Tires, Akron, Ohio

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
