Not
Many More This Vancouver carrier may be one of the last pictures
taken of the ships that have made Vancouver yard history. The keel for
Hull 350, last of the carriers, was laid Wednesday, March 29, and within
the next week or ten days the first keel of the new troop transports will
go down on Way 9.

'Em Rustle? A colorful "United Nations on Parade" pageant,
with a total cast of more than 200 residents of the Vancouver housing
projects, was presented at McLoughlin Heights Tuesday night and at Bagley
Down Thursday. It was so successfully received that two more presentations
are being planned in Vancouver and Portland. All proceeds go to the recreation
fund of Barnes general hospital. Hula dancers of the Hawaiian number,
pictured above, are chiefly daughters of Vancouver workers. From left

Frances Follis, who lived in Honolulu before coming to the States at the
time of Pearl Harbor. She is the daughter of Elmer Follis, graveyard electrician.
