b. Housebuilding, England
Housebuilding in an hour - is a new English contribution to the relief of the housing shortage.
England's well-known Vickers airplane plant now makes prefabricated standard houses.
They are not just emergency houses rather small cosy homes, whose life is calculated to last about 30 years. Part of the building material is aluminum and light metal.
The house is built in four processes of work: the various parts are transported to the lot and assembled within one hour. Now the furniture ... und there is the house that Vickers built.
Before long four other former aircraft plants will start on the production of these houses.

d. Alaska Highway
In Alaska the 2.500 kilometre cross country highway has been returned to civil traffic.
During the war this famous highway in the far north was reserved for military purposes exclusively. Now one of most picturesque though remotest beauty spots is again open for trade, traffic and recreation.
Anglers find here a paradise of plenty and variety. Special road gangs permanently survey the condition of the road, the construction of which cost more than a hundred million dollars.
The prospective sightseer has to have his tires and engine carefully checked before the trip. For there are only occasional gas and repair stations in this majestic solitude.
This is a cautious driver - he takes plenty of spare tires and a bag, with new parts long, so that two extremes may once again unite: The oldest Ford on the most modern highway.
05. The problem of the refugees
One the most tragic consequences of the war and Hitlers policy is the problem of the refugees. Like leaves in the wind they are swept through the country or travel the roads and railway tracks in crowded columns, in search of a new home.
One figure demonstrates the enormous scope of this problem: app. 14 million people lost their home as a result of the events of the last years. For most of them the question of their resettlement is - now and for the time being - a matter of life importance.
Every day, trains with refugees arrive in all zones of Germany - people of every age, class and profession. Here, refugees who were expelled from Czechoslovakia are registered and disinfected after crossing the American Zone border.
A net of supply stations furnish food for the travelers.
On the map the destination and prospective new location of their home is studied. It will dtermine their whole future life.
Bur for the moment the small space in the centre of the car is their only asylum, their rolling home.
Some families prefer to move into improvised accomodation after their arrival, but most of then are housed in refugee camps, like this one at Berchtesgaden.
Though this room has to serve 17 persons as bed-, sitting- and work-room, new activity and industry is quickly resumed.
The home country's old folk art provides here, too, work and bread. The inmates of the camp work on a cooperative basis, and as far as possible in their former vocations.
While these women sew gloves, knit woolies or make laces, the children are in the camp school. Their old teacher, whom they brought with them from their home-country, teaches them also here. The kindergarten takes care of the little ones. They don't know anything of the seriousness of today, of the worries of their parents, of the uncertainty of their own fate.
As everywhere the craftsmen are short of raw materials, but nevertheless pretty and useful things are made from old cases and other material.
While the early arrivals gradually settle down, new refugees keep on arriving in the camp, which, however, is only a stop-over before settling in their new and permanent homes.
The millions of refugees in all districts and zones of Germany now pay with their fate the penalty for the effects of National Socialist power politics.
Many of them are useful workers, capable brains, good neighbours. To recognize this is necessary for the solution of one of the most serious problems of to-day.
