Both male and female workers at a 1934 Wichita canning kitchen can meat that will eventually
 be distributed to relief clients suffering during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl of the
1930s. This program was supervised by the Kansas Emergency Relief Committee.

Thursday, March 23, 1933

Played volleyball in Gym this morning. We lost the game. Ruth Ray played, too.

In 1933 airplane designer Don Luscombe left Mono Aircraft Corporation,
 moved into Kansas City's Butler Building and formed his own company.
The Luscombe Aircraft company's first airplane was the Luscombe Model 1,
commonly known as the Luscombe Phantom. But the company only produced
 25 airplanes before poor economic conditions forced it to close its Kansas City operation.
