BY POOLING their home-workshop tools,
energy, and spare time, neighborhood
friends of Guy Bonham, NBC radio enter-
tainer, are waging a private industrial war
against the Axis in the basement “warshop”
of his New York suburban home. The
group, which includes a variety of business
and professional men, got its first subcon-
tract job from a Flushing, N. Y., firm en-
gaged in making motor lifeboats for the
Navy. The job was to machine and assemble
a gasoline strainer. Neither Bonham nor his
cronies had ever worked with metal, but by
adapting their woodworking machinery to
the job, they turned out a trial strainer
to the builder's satisfaction—and won a
contract for 600 more. The group isn't
worried about profits. “We'll be satisfied if
we can buy hats occasionally for our ‘war-
shop widows,’ ” they say.
