They've just been told that there'll be no overtime paid but, due to the war effort, they'll be working extra hours for the next three years!!

My father, Arthur Rothstein, took this photo! As he used to say, a picture is worth a thousand words. This photo says it all.

[Thanks, Eve! We would be very interested to hear whatever you could tell us about your father and his work. - Dave]
