ing difficulties of a few months ago seem simple. The thousands of workers who drive to and from the powder plant daily, some from as far away as Bedford, are all seeking to get closer to their place of work. And most of them would like to move into Charlestown itself, town that is already “bulging at the seams” with its 3500 population. A few of these commuters have already moved into the town in trailers, further crowding the numerous trailer camps, and some have even purchased old busses and converted them into living quarters.
Portable Houses Planned
These commuters realize that unless they move into Charlestown or some nearby city such as Louisville, Ky. or Jeffersonville, which have adequate transportation facilities to Charlestown, they may not be able to get to work in a few months when their tires wear out. The government is cognizant of | the situation and, according to reports, plans are now under consideration for the construction of more defense housing projects near the plant. Approximately 750 portable houses are to be built at Charlestown in the near future, it is said. “All this is very good,” one worker said, “but will the government get houses built before our tires give out?”
