Women in Airplane Plants Show Great Adaptibility on Many Jobs Muny <>t the women now doing ordinary assembly work in airplane pltfnts throughout the nation can be trained so that they can fill posi­ tions requiring high degrees of skill and responsibility. Thi> information, besides many other important and helpful Indus­ trial notes, was learned as a re­ sult of a nation-wide field survey made by the women's bureau, U. 8. department of labor. According to the report, women work on most of the manufactur­ ing processes that go into the fabri­ cation and assembly of an airplane. There is hardly a department in most of the massive airplane pro­ duction plants that women are not holding down a position, and mak­ ing good at it. Up to the present, women were hired largely to increase growing production forces. However, they will be recruited in large numbers to replace young men going into military service. One company ex­ pected to take on 2.000 additional women riveters. Due to varying factors in war production, many firms hesitated to estimate the numbers or propor­ tions of women in their anticipated future personnel, but all the plants visited expected a steady growth in the number of women employees ■nd the production activities as­ signed to them, indicating that at DEER HUNTING— All National Forest land. In the State of Oregon have been closed by the Regional Forester under Federal Regulation* on account of high fire hazard, effective Heptem- her 22, according to Karl L Jan- ouch.

Highway, and county roads, Im- proved forest camps and summer home urea, will be open, but no other area, may be entered ex­ cept by those employed or having urgent business therein, and then only after securing written permit from a forest officer. No permit, will be required of any actual set­ tler going to or from his home. .Mr. Janouch pointed out that, in effect, this will close to hunting tali of the Rogue River National Forest except the small portion lying In California, and will also prevent Ashing except at Igike O' Wooda. «Y><-re there Is an Im- proved Finest camp.

The majority of plants reported a minimum hiring age of 18 years, but usually stated that preference was given to women over 21. Some personnel managers added that women from 25 to 40 years were preferred. Special employment pol­ icies in regard to family status, such as hiring only wives and daughters of men employees, are fast disappearing as the available labor supply dwindles. As the aircraft subcontracting program gains momentum it will come into prominence as a major field of employment for women in war Industries. A great opportunity for women's employment exists in the sub­ assembly plants because the parts and plane sections are compara­ tively small, and because speciali­ zation in production has given rise to the breaking down of operations entailing much more repetitive work which women can learn easily and quickly. I PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES— More than half the pedestrian annual fatalities reported In Ore­ gon occur during the last, four months of the year, Earl Snell, secretary of state, declared today In urging motorist, and person, on foot to increase ther precaution, u. the fall and winter approaches "In 1941. for example. 52 per cent of the pedestrian fatalities during the yeaf occurred In the months of Heptember. October. November and December.” Hnell ■aid "The month of December, with 22 pedestrian deaths, was the worst month of the year while September, with 14 deaths was second.” Longer hours of darkness and adverse weather conditions were listed by the secretary of state a. the chief factors In this increase In pedestrian Xccidlents during the last four mo •>ha of the year, The bad weather and darkness com- bine to lower visibility and wet road and street surfaces make for poor ■topping conditions in traf- fic. "Many protons have the erron- eaus belief that drivers of cars with bright headlights can see pedestrians, even on the darkest night," Snell said, "but what they fall to understand is that these drivers see only by the light that is reflected from the object in their headlight beams. Thus, the person with dark clothing, reflects only about five per cent of the light that strikes him and con- sequently, the driver may not see the individual in time to avoid an accl lent." Pedestrians arc urged to wear or carry somethin white at night or display a lighted flashlight, Workmen are advised to paint their lunch buckets white as a pre­ caution« ry measure. Ashland U.
