12 rounds 25c? Where?
Damn and pox on inflation.
if someone asked her today what she does, and she replied I make bombs and buy bonds. they would call 911 on her
is the munition in the photo with her a bomb, or a mortar round? I'm not familiar enough with the various types at the "small enough to hold in your hand" size range.
I would say she is next to a 40lb bomb let or a display scale model of one

Guessing is safe; a 30 pound bomb; and 119 pound bombshell.........
Just guessing it is 3" mortar shell of British/Australian/Canadian origin.Quote:

God bless every one of those ladies. Without them, things could have turned out very different.
I like that one!

Nice patriotic advertisement; but clearly more staged than those I've examined.
She is NOT wearing an ID Badge, particularly in a munitions plant............
Glad they won't depend on what passes for 'lumber' today. Not so many, but we still run across these wood cases here and there. Intact. Sturdy. Legible. Operative.

The one wearing a sweater is kinda cute.
the one in the lower picture on the right side reminds me of Emma Watson
Surprising what a little psychological nudge, an image and phrase, can generate.
But they've gotten too good at it, haven't they?
Wonder how many of our "individual" thoughts both for and against are colored by those various campaigns?
“Beat the Promise”? I do not know what the promise was. I thought at first that head was a wheelybin, but realised that it was a conventional way of depicting the intellect. I read about mind and the machine when I was 20. I remember the philospher’s name, but not the title of his book. “The Ghost in the Machine” ?
From my father's collection...

Well, Adm. Yamamoto warned them aforehand.....becoming an adult here, he knew all too well.
Not to diminish urgency following Pearl Harbor, how many miss those identical sounds in the 70's and 80's, without any impending calamities?
Forgot the withdrawal from Vietnam, the Iran Hostage crisis, & Lockerbie? Grenada? There were a number of things that could have gone very badly sideways and brought the same sort of urgency. I guess we got lucky that they didn't, but I don't really know. Might have been better to get it done while it was still fairly small. I'm looking at news today and not liking it a bit.
