BEAUTY TREATMENT: The first of many paint jobs will be applied at the spray booth, shown above. Tracks will carry the bodies slowly through the booth, then lead into the drying chamber, or bake oven, which stands in the background. A workman here checks the tracks to make sure they're ready for the job that lies ahead.

IT'S LONG AND HOT: Tracks have already been laid through this longest of the bake ovens at Kaiser-Frazer's Willow Run. Low vehicles placed on the tracks will carry the car bodies more than 200 feet through this drying chamber. The ovens have been one of the first auto-making installations put in at the former bomber plant.

LOADING DOCKS: In war days bombers wheeled off the lines and out the huge doors in the background to take off under their own power at the Willow Run airport. Now automobiles will drive up the ramp and onto the 700-foot long concrete docks shown above. Space is left for two rail spurs that will be the principal outlet for new cars.

View of School's New Pool: An open house will be held from 7:30-9 p.m. today at the new swimming pool addition (building at extreme left) to Willow Run High School. Since completion last month, the pool has been used regularly by Willow Run classes, and a program for using the $500,000 facility during the summer and all other non-school houses is now being planned by the Recreation Department. Formal dedication of the pool will be held next fall.
