Taken: November 10, 1942
Caption: Operation by Women of a New Sawmill at Turkey Pond, New Hampshire
Additional Description: "Women lumberjacks at the newly set up [Northeastern] Timber Salvage Administration's lumber mill at Turkey Pond, N.H. get $4 a day for this kind of work, carrying logs out of Turkey Pond for storage near the mill, before winter's grip locks the logs in the pond ice. The project, experimental, is to use women to replace men in sawing up 7,000,000 feet of 1938 hurricane timber."
