An overture by the band opened

the program.
The Ely Baton Twirlers, an organi-

A few minutes after the castings were in
stalled, the bombers took off. They arrived
at Pacific base early on June 3. By noon,
four of the ships went into action in the
Battle of Midway. They arrived jus. in
time to sink two Jap aircraft carriers -
a toll which may well have turned the
fight from defeat to victory.
No less exciting was home-front per-
formance which took place in a steel mill
about the time our flyers were blasting the
Japs at Midway. In Pittsburgh the vortex of
furnace used in moldng the sides of fighting
ships suddenly broke down from overwork
To fix it, the furnace fires would have to be
banked. That meant production would be
shut down for at least a week. and serious
delay in the nations shipbuilding program.
But there was no shutdown. A repair crew
volunteered to tackle the job while the fur
mace fire still roared They climbed up the
numerically hot outer shell and in six blister
ing hours mended the break while the men
in the plant just kept 'em rolling. For this
death-defying feat the intrepid five won
medals, which they now proudly wear - on
their overalls.
Such are the examples of fortitude and
ingenuity which prove that the man behind

effort than just days work for days pay.

out a warplane every eight minutes, hard
hitting tank every half-hour and three speedy
ships each sunup to sundown.
Behind this surging battle of production
is the dramatic story of one of our greatest
weapons. There is nothing "secret" about
this weapon. 1t is simply American inge-
nuitv. But it works. In barely six months,
the nations factory folk have Matched
over 1000 ideas on how to turn out
more and more war goods in less and less

Germans are with tools and machines But our
workers 20 the Nazis one better. They have
that happy faculty for improvising short cuts
and for concocting gadgets which have saved
vital man-hours, increased output and i'm

Who are these heroes on the production
line?
The list is long, but let's single out Louis
Leonhard as typical of the factory-front SOL

mount the guns on M-3 tanks. those 28-ton

own and Allied military commanders.
While engineers pondered on how to step
up the assembly of this vital weapon, Lou
did some thinking on his own. He noticed
that when the guns arrived from other fac
tories they were covered with thick layers of
crease to protect them from rust. And it took
three men three hours to clean each one.
