Re Todays Photograph - Some of the entries in the beauty contest 7/4/1946 - This primary source comes from the Records of the Solid Fuels Administration for War.
National Archives Identifier: 540478
Full Citation: 245-MS-540L; Some of the entries in the beauty contest; 7/4/1946; Photographs of the Medical Survey of the Bituminous Coal Industry, 1946–1947; Records of the Solid Fuels Administration for War, Record Group 245; National Archives at College Park, College Park, MD - Original Caption: "Some of the entries in the beauty contest. Price is center of coal mining activities for Utah. Price, Carbon County, Utah."
In 1946, noted photographer Russell Lee was hired by the Solid Fuels Administration for War, a Federal agency, to take photographs for a survey of medical, health and housing conditions in coal communities around the country.
Located in remote areas and patrolled by mine company guards during times of labor unrest, coal communities were normally inaccessible to outsiders. But government seizure of the mines from private operators gave Lee an unprecedented view into coal fields from Pennsylvania to Wyoming.
Russell Lee took more than 2,000 photographs of the miners in their homes, workplaces, and communities.
[JPost] An Israel Air Force aircraft struck the Khan Yunis municipality building in the Gaza Strip during an overnight operation, the military said on Sunday.
The strike was carried out using intelligence information provided by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) and the Southern Command.
Among other things, in the building was an operational shaft that was connected to an underground route that served as a meeting place for Hamas terrorists, the military noted.
Before the attack, the military carried out several steps to reduce potential harm to civilians, the IDF added.
IAF KILLS TERRORIST WHO LAUNCHED ROCKET AT ISRAELI TERRITORY
The IDF further noted that an IAF aircraft had eliminated the terrorist who carried out a launch on Saturday, which crossed into Israeli territory from Shejaia and landed in open territory in the Nahal Oz area. The structure from which the terrorist operated was also destroyed.
During one of the activities, paratroopers destroyed a mortar launcher, and fighters located weapons, among which were an RPG, grenade, and an improvised explosive device.
The IDF also added that troops of the 162nd Division continued fighting in the Rafah area, killing more than 30 terrorists in close-quarters combat and IAF strikes.

The toll, which was steadily mounting,
Had leveled off lately, confounding
The bloodthirsty news
Hounds who'll howl at the Jews,

'Those who crossed border were sentenced to death': Gantz backs civilian action on Oct. 7 "The evidence regarding the citizens arrested on suspicion of unlawfully killing terrorists is not in my hands, and I trust the law enforcement forces. Along with this, it is important to say on a principled level - anyone who dared to cross the border line that day was sentenced to death [commited a capital offense]. All of them posed a clear and immediate danger," Gantz affirmed.
..."Therefore - in this situation, of chaos, surprise, and guerilla fighting for many hours, we must give a broad backing and full support to those who are fighting - soldier, policeman, or citizen. This is our duty towards those who saved human lives and protected our country, and I believe that the law enforcement system will also act in this spirit," Gantz concluded.
Last week, it was approved for publication that three civilians had been arrested on suspicion of killing a Nukhba terrorist on October 7. According to the police, that the three were not part of the combat forces at the time of the incident.

The health ministry in the Hamas-run territory, which condemned the strike as an "odious massacre", said 50 injured were taken to hospital from the school.
Some 7,000 people were sheltering in the school at the time of the attack, the Hamas government press office said. Dozens of people scrambled through the rubble after the strike to find survivors.
The press office said the school was run by the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees, UNRWA, and most of the casualties were "children, women, and elderly".
"This is the fourth time they have targeted the school without warning," said one woman, Samah Abu Amsha, who told how some children were killed as they read the Holy Koran in a class when the missile hit.

"Look at the destruction," the 39-year-old farmer told AFP, holding an uprooted tomato plant.
He pointed to his greenhouse’s metal frame and its white plastic sheeting strewn across the plot, inside an area designated a humanitarian zone by the Israeli army.
"People were sitting peacefully on their farmland ... and suddenly tanks arrived and fired at us, and then there were (air) strikes."
Abu Jazar said the Israeli operation in late June destroyed about 40 dunams (10 acres) of land and killed five labourers.
His is not an isolated case. Across Gaza, 57% of agricultural land has been damaged since the war began, according to a joint assessment published in June by the UN’s agriculture and satellite imagery agencies, FAO and UNOSAT.
The damage threatens Gaza’s food illusory sovereignty, Matieu Henry of the Food and Agriculture Organization told AFP, because 30% of the Paleostinian territory’s food consumption comes from agricultural land.
"If almost 60% of the agricultural land has been damaged, this may have a significant impact in terms of food security and food supply."

[An Nahar] Hezbollah on Sunday fired rockets at an area deep in north Israel after an Israeli airstrike Saturday killed one of its operatives near the eastern city of Baalbek.
In a statement, the group said it launched dozens of Katyusha rockets at the Nimra military base west of Tiberias in response to the assassination near Baalbek. It described Nimra as "one of the main bases in the northern region" of Israel.
In an earlier statement, the group said it destroyed espionage equipment at the al-Raheb Israeli post with the "appropriate weapons."
Shortly after the Nimra attack, Israeli airstrikes hit a house in the Tyre district town of Maaroub and several border towns.
The Israeli army said Saturday that the slain Hezbollah operative was part of the group's air defense unit.
Hezbollah has traded near daily fire with the Israeli army across Lebanon's southern border since its Palestinian ally Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, triggering the war in Gaza.
"A local Hezbollah official" was killed in an "Israeli drone" strike on a vehicle near the eastern city of Baalbek, a source close to the group told AFP on Saturday.
Lebanon's official National News Agency (NNA) reported one person was killed when an "enemy drone" targeted a vehicle in the Shaat area, around 15 kilometers (nine miles) north of Baalbek.
The area is around 100 kilometers from Lebanon's southern border with Israel.
The Israeli military said in a statement that the air force "operated in the area of Baalbek to strike and eliminate... a key operative in Hezbollah's Aerial Defense Unit."
The Hezbollah operative "took part in the planning and carrying out of numerous terror attacks" against Israel and helped build up the group's "arsenal of Iranian weapons," the statement added.
Hezbollah announced that a fighter from the area had been killed, identifying him as Maitham al-Attar.
