F. Fisher, general A. J. Fisher, of the Fisher Body division, has been placed In chars* « the new unit to which has been DOWN THROUGH AGES sign* * tetfced and highly petsahlisl trom the existing organisation. The new unit was formed, Fisher explained, to correlate the division's expanding defense activities which Will be further enlarged as new work now in the "make ready" stage is translated into actual production. Manufactuer of parts and sub-asisemNies for the famed B-25 C twinengine Army Air corps bomber, under a joint program of General Motors and North American Aviation, Inc., is one of Fisher's principal defense •projects. Under this program Fisher Will supply not less than fifty-five per eent of the parts and sub-assembHee for each of these medium type bombers. with Fisher's role constituting a major portion of General Motors contribution ir. the joint progr&ift with Worth American. Present schedules call for an output of 100 B-25 C bombers a month, with final assembly to be done at a new plant now under construction by North American at Kansas City, Kansas. Fisher explained, however, that provisions have been made for a substantial expansion in this volume. The focal point of Fisber's bomber Work will be at Its Memphis, Tenn., plant. This ?'antt formerly a woodworking unit, now is Being converted Into a factory equipped for plane manufacture, with provisions foi expan sion. Fisher plants in Detroit and other localities also will participate m the bomber program by contributing fabricating operations. These will include manufacture and machining of die castings, machining of forgings and sand castings, fabrication of a diversified group of sheet and metal parts, and certain specialised welding and assembly operations. Fisher said that under the present production plans upwards of 7,000 men would work on bomber activities, with more than three-quarters of a million square feet of space devoted to the project. - In commenting on the plane production programs, Fisher said: "Because of years of experience in carrying on related types of work in connection with large-scale production of automobile bodies, Fisher Body is well equipped with manufacturing talent necessary to undertake this extensive bomber production program. Th£ Fisher organization comprises diversified groups with long training and experience in die casting work, machining, metal forming, jig and fixture construction, and welding and assembly operations." Recalling that in World War 1 Fisher plants turned out forty planes a day. Fisher continued: "The 'knowhow' of the various Fisher groups will be valuable in expediting the production of parts on an increasing? scale in this new world crisis."

K*'. ••tm it- Keeping the camera ready for the unexpected resulted In this unusual -Snapshot. Picture opportunities are abundant, so have your camera with you wherever you go. X|T ISNT very often that youH find •' * dog looking Inquisitively around %; |a corner at a cat, but If you do, it ha an occasion well worth i. .^photographing. You've probably -fceen similar oddities, and often v Impressed the desire to take pie- - lures which really capture such slth Ideations. Many opportunities like ^ ,*his occur but once, and, by having fM'Vour camera with you at all times, l^lfou can take advantage of these ln- • ^eidents to make, a number of lnter- -•"ksting snapshots. -i Besides the unusual, there are £;|?nany other things that afford excel • lent subject material for the camera hobbyist. For example, activlties of general interest offer an abundant source of picture opportunities. Hiking, motoring, swimpniag, boating--in fact, any sport .(rill yield a number of good snapshots. Or, wherever you go--to t he mountains, seashore, or Inland ake--you'll have the chance to pie- F* ' tore the scenic beauty as well as • be Interesting happenings on a \ nemorable vacation, a week-end • f rip or just a day's jaunt. There's no single formula to fol- . *>'OW when you takd your camera j.*lth you, but there are some good toiata well worth remembering. First. always look Cor scenes thtt are characteristic of the place yon are visiting, whether you are out for just a short drive, or a trip tci some distant section of the country,; Second, try to organize youif shooting so that the pictures tell a reasonably well ordered story. Not just a lot of shots of one thing, , but a step-by-step account of what you did and what went on. Third, always be on the look* out Watch for unusual or "dl# ferent" pictures such as the one 11* lustrated above. They add a great deal of interest and variety to your album. In s c e n i c s h o o t i n g , d o n ' t l e t ; ,broad, .breath-taking views misleat you. They're good subjects--but inc l u d e a f o r e g r o u n d o b j e c t or "frame" when possible, to giv| them depth and creative feeling of distance. ' In picturing the things you d<V' always try to include some acti< --not necessarily rapid motion, bi people doing something. In briet make each picture tell a story. Chanoes to get excellent snapr shots are everywhere, and it's easy to build a fine collection. Keep youfr camera with you constantly, anf* bring back a permanent record at-, your experiences.

When the War Department officials were apprised of the attitude of the automobile manufacturers they suggested that if these gentlemen were unwilling to co-operate with the government fn control of prices on their products, then the government itself might possibly take a hand and do it for them. Subsequent to the announcement, Federal Price Control Administrator, Henderson requested the automobile makers to withdraw the announced price increase He contended that such price advances were not consistent with the favoHtble earning position of the automobile Industry. It is rumored that if the automobile makers refuse to co-operate with the government in this respect they may find themselves in the position of being unable to obtain steel to manufacture their products.
