O UT OF THE P AST Blue Mountain Eagle Dec. 5, 1941 75 years ago County Women To Orga- nize For Defense Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, chairman of the Oregon state board of mobilization for women, has appointed Mrs. Earl Brent to take charge of the organization of the board in Grant county. Mrs. Brent has been contacting women leaders throughout the county and has called a meeting for to- day, Dec. 5, at the Methodist church in John Day, at 1:30 o’clock, to which all women of the county who are inter- ested are invited and urged to attend. Mrs. Sanford Adler, chair- man of the Baker county board, will be present at the meeting to furnish informa- tion regarding the survey which will be made in the near future. According to Mrs. Dunbar, the purpose of the board for the mobilization of women in Oregon is to con- duct a survey of women in the state to determine how many women are available for em- ployment if the need arises, what training each woman has had and if and when she can work if needed. This survey is in no way connected with the civilian defense registration that was conducted earlier this year. During the present defense crisis there has been felt the constant need for the organiz- ing of women by government agencies and national wom- en’s organizations on the east coast. The defense emergency is felt much more keenly in the east and on the Atlantic sea- board than in the west. There seemed to be no definite plan of what was vitally essential in regard to the organization of women for defense until recently when every gover- nor was asked to appoint one woman who would serve as chairman of organizing the women in her state. Figures stated by Mrs. Dunbar show that the government of the United States will endeavor to establish an army of de- fense of 300,000,000 men. It requires 10 persons behind every one man in the army to keep him fed, clothed and transported. Therefore, there must be 30,000,000 workers while there are only 2,850,000 at the present time. A great many of these workers have to be women. At the meeting in John Day today advisory committeewomen from every community will be selected and, according to Mrs. Brent, the actual survey will start about March 1.
