DeLand In Defense Deegan9s Community Pool Plan Has Brought Wealth And Fame Unique Setup For Pooling Available Resources Has Put Babcock Plant Into Production By Bob Lee With over one million dollars in contracts obtained to date, the DeLand Community Pool has already been proven a huge success. The main function of the community pool is to obtain contracts for. the small shops that ordinarily would not be able to get them. This is brought about by pooling thc resources of small concerns, thereby giving each operator a chance to perform the function- for which he is fitted. An estimate of machinery and floor space available is taken, and then each shop is given sub contracts by Babcock xAircraft Corporation. These parts are manufactured by the small concerns at their own shops, and then the completed parts are taken to the main Babcock plant, where they are assembled into the finished product. The DeLand Community Pool was the first of its kind in the nation. Originated by City Manager William Deegan, it has since been copied al over the country, and inquiries have been received from 36 cities in 11 states. The plan has been adopted by thc state of Florida, and a lanje sum of money has been allotted to finance similar pools in other parts of the state. A recent survcv shows that equipment available in Florida, which would not be used otherwise, includes 160 welding.units, 2,300 vices, and more than one thousand portable drills and miscellaneous drills and miscellaneous equipment. All of this equipment will be pooled and used for the manufacture of items necessary for defense. For the specific benefits of the community pool, Babcock Aircraft Corporation is a good example.
