We Picked Cotton For Parachutes ln the face ot national emergency Uncle Sam sent out a call tor assistance in the tactory and on the tarm iield, thus hoping to bring together the loose ends of victory. From the most densely populated portions to the smallest community Americans re- sponded eagerly. Faced with a shortage ol cotton pickers, and knowing no alternative We dug right in and brought that cotton to market. Today, hundreds, perhaps thousands ot American airmen, are using parachutes made ot the crops that citizens of this community picked. This Cotton tor Victory program was backed wholeheartedly by the students and faculty members oi the Phoenix schools, who spent hours daily under the Arizona sun so that this project might be completed.
