Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service. Pretty as her picture is this young woman in the trim uniform that enlisted U.S. Navy WAVES will wear this winter. The smartly styled, comfortable uniforms are in the traditional "Navy blue" with a soft rolled brim hat. Women between the ages twenty and thirty-six with a high school education or its business school equivalent are eligible, providing they meet physical and aptitude requirements. After training, they will receive rating and pay commensurate with their experience and ability. The pay, incidentally, will be exactly the same as that for men in the same rating, plus allowances. The Navy particularly desires women trained as general clerks, secretaries, stenographers, duplicating machine operators, typists, file clerks, bookkeepers, warehouse clerks, stock clerks, radio operators, teletype operators, simplex and multiplex operators. Some, too, will be trained as aviation machinists mates, gunner's mates and for torpedo maintenance

De Land pool. Carr's Machine Shop. A typical small metalworking shop, Carr's repair plant in De Land, Florida, is now subcontracting on war production. When De Land organized its machines and manpower into a community pool to handle war work, it was discovered Carr's had two things: first class machinery that would work tolerances down to a split hair and first class machinists. Now, much of the precision work on the pool's contract is handled in his plant

DeLand pool. Improvised foundry, Daytona Beach. American ingenuity is the keenest tool in the kit of the machinists turning out war weapons in Florida's pools. This is the way J.L. Clayton, Daytona Beach fireman, figured out and built a blast furnace hot enough to melt brass and aluminum. He hooked up a fuel oil barrel to the old foundry pump shown at right. The pump blasts the oil and compressed air down the pipeline into the crucible. Arthur Brown, Negro helper, has his hand on a valve that controls the air and fuel which heat the furnace

De Land pool. Skilled craftsmen. Ben Stephens tramped six miles into De Land, Florida three times a week last fall to attend the city's vocational school, established to provide workers for the community war-production pool. He welds, runs an acetylene cutting machine, and doubles in brass on woodworking and the assembly line in the Babcock plant, prime contractors of the pool. He plans to put his sixty-five-year-old father on the job as his helper when he is fully trained. Stephens, forty-four and a veteran of the last war, was one of eighteen machinists uncovered by a manpower survey of the community
