Defense housing, Bantam, Connecticut, January 1942

Three-year-old Ann Heath, daughter of Fred Heath, who operates a turret lathe in the Warren McArthur casting room. She has her own little footstool so that she can wash her own hands in the sink of the bathroom in the four-room defense housing unit where the Heaths live. Ann had quite a trying time getting used to the size of the new apartment, after having lived most of her life with her parents in a single furnished room in Torrington.
