Corporal Technician Dick Howard from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at work on his mural in the sports and dance hall of the American Red Cross Service Club in Belfast, Nov. 26, 1942, which he managed to complete before Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt visited the club during her trip to England and Ulster. The radiator was along the wall assigned for his mural – a labor of love on Howard¬Ãs part to brighten the club – and it will be seen how cleverly he worked it into his design.
