SHE CAN SING, TOO - Even in wartime, that lucky little group of fellows got together in Atlantic City last month, looked over America's lovliest gals, and chose Jo Carroll Dennison, a flashing-eyed beauty from Tyler, Texas, as Miss America 1942. The judges said they also like Jo's rendition of "Deep in the Heart of Texas." Frances Burke, Miss America 1940, does the crowning. |

TIGHT GAME - They're still playing plenty of ball at our outlying stations as witness this shot taken at an Indian port station. Corp. David Boyd is shown knocking out a long single in a game between the QM Port Bn. and a Truck Co. The "Porters" won 1-0, with Boyd being the winning chucker. |
FAVORITE SPORT of the Chinese Expeditionary Force stationed at the Chinese-American training center here in India is soccer. You can see a soccer game in progress almost any day of the week. |
CRATED CARS - Huge crates containing trucks and other vehicles are hauled and unloaded from flat-cars at a U.S. Army assembly point after arrival at an Indian port. At right is a section of the new warehouses being built for supplies. |
GOING DOWN - A moving crane and a newly assembled truck are used to move the crates from the congested unloading dumps to other assembly spots. |
UNCRATING - Indians assist U.S. soldiers in uncrating as loaded flat-cars with other trucks move by for orderly disposal. The soldiers are assembly experts who keep the new vehicles rolling out. |
PIECE WORK - A truck cab is swung onto a truck as the parts move swiftly and systematically along the assembly line. |
FINAL CHECK - This heavy duty truck gets a final, thorough check as it reaches the end of the assembly line. It's designed for rough going. |
MOVING OUT - Newly-assembled vehicles are ready to roll away as the overhead cranes swing a seemingly endless line of crates onto the assembly ground. |
TAKING SHAPE - From a completely knocked down chassis, each truck is serviced part by part. The Indians, who have become highly proficient in their assembly duties, work smoothly with U.S. Army personnel. |
READY - Assembled trucks are lined up awaiting disposition. A few hours before they were just so many neatly assorted parts. |
OLD AND NEW - One of the new trucks rolls by camel-drawn carts laden with drums of oil and gas for new machines rolling off the assembly line. |
BIRD'S-EYE VIEW - Here is how the assembly grounds looks from atop the girder of an overhead crane. |
SPECIAL DELIVERY - Engines like this, seen being loaded on a plane to be flown to a repair depot, are included in cargoes being hauled by the Air Service Command in this theater. |
CELEBRATION - Members of the Headquarters Detachment attend a Double Tenth celebration given by friends on the anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Republic. |
SOLDIER CLUB MEMBERS - These fellows belong to one of the two soldiers' clubs that we know about in this theater. The club is located at an Indian port base. Seen with the young lady, Miss B. Lynch, are: Pfc. Jack Stansang, S/Sgt. R. L. Stansang, Pvt. Joe Heinrich, M/Sgt. Ed Zeman, Sgt. K. C. Kliner. |

MAESTRO - Captain Carl G. Arnold, morale officer for the Chinese-American Training Camp, hands out drum sticks to members of his newly-formed drum and bugle corps. Arnold is also editor and publisher of the camp's terrific "Bull Sheet." |
