To Be Riddled
By ‘Bombs’
The paper shortage has become a
real problem for Boy Scouts planning
a mock air raid for the Boy Scout
circus next week.
The scouts are building a model
city to be riddled with simulated
bombing attacks during the demon-
stration. They need heavy paper, or
sheet cardboard, to cover their minia-
ture structures.
Several troops have been building
frameworks to be covered by the war-
scarce materials. Unable to obtain
paper or sheet cardboard, the scouts
plan to resort to cardboard from used
packing cases.
The model city will Include build-
ings 16 feet in height. Following the
blackout and raid, "victims" will be

question of delivery, and the receipt

Superstructures Added
in the new 12-way yard entire su-
perstructures will roll along an assem-
bly line while hulls take form on the
ways.
Stacks. booms, pilothouse. bridge,
staterooms, cabins—everything above
decks, even to the woodwork and fit-

unit moves along the line.
By the time the hulls are launched,
the superstructures will be finished,

Methods Revolutionary
After that, it's simply a matter of
welding, minor outfitting and adjust-
ment before the ships are ready to go

the methods will revolutionize Ameri-
