This came as particular comfort to women Who had Just experienced their first air raid dress rehearsal. More comfort came from Mr. Russell's reminder that Brooklyn, except for the Navy Yard, is not a heavy industry community. There are no airplane factories nor tank manufacturing plants here comparable to the steel installations at Pittsburgh, the automobile factories of Detroit, the packing plants of Chicago. There is no vacant space for the location here of huge munition plants, he pointed ouU "In order to be of maximum assistance to the Government in the matter of producing defense material, Brooklyn through its aggressive Chamber of Commerce set out to build an organization for this purpose," he said.

Mr. Greenman told of a home economics course offered in one of the housing developments by one of the utility companies for this purpose.
