Maintaining War Workers' Morale
Nine captioned photographs of women war workers: a supervisor, a rest period, a rest room, a snack, a drink, a first aid course, a night-shift movie, and YWCA help finding rooms. The sheet lists only the amenities, a card-stacking selection that shows employers what a good plant offers.
