...where they came from, what they were doing. No one could find out. Not even delivery boys got past the front gate. What went on inside the two houses, the annex, in the fine garden, the orchard, swimming pool and volleyball field? The windows were curtained; a seemingly endless stream of strangers went to and fro; and they ate enough food for a platoon. Townfolk talked about smugglers, maybe even revolutionaries...

To improve on this, the International Cooperation Administration demonstrated a wooden, hand-operated washing machine simple enough to be built by semiskilled workers for $3 on a quantity basis. The washer holds the clothes in a rectangular tub while two plungers, attached to a crossbeam that is operated by hand, force water back and forth through them.
