a new and wholesome respect for

dreamer or the saint, but the in
tensely pracital idealism of men
who see in the welfare of their
fellow-men the greatest security
to themselves.

Rather than any smaller, more
melodramatic concept of vindic

challenging ourselves to "Re
member Pearl Harbor," our
thoughts and actions are now re
solved into the broader, more
powerful recognition of our tre

Every citizen feels it and marks
it well within him. It is on thia

Brooklyn shop* alone, 100 women
have already gone to work in the
mechanical and store departments
to help relieve the serious man
power shortage, and the number
of women employes is increasing
rapidly. On the railroad's Pacific
Lines, employment of women in
such jobs has now reached a to
tal of over 1600.
At numerous points on the rail
road, the ladles are now making a
highly important contribution to
the war effort as blacksmiths'
helpers, rivet heaters, fire lighters
and turntable operators. They are
operating bolt cutting machines,
drill presses, paint sprayers and
lubricating appliances. They are
also serving as tractor drivers,
locomotive wipers, scrap sorter*
and cutters, yard and crew clerks,
timekeepers, crew callers, round
house clerks, steam hammer driv
ers, stationary firemen, journal
box packers, sandhouse attendants
and blue printers, store helpers,
draftsmen and tool and equipment
supply checkers.
Beyond this, they are doing a
wide variety of "housekeeping” for
the railroad, including cleaning
shops and roundhouses, polishing
locomotive cabs and headlights,
cleaning freight and passenger
cars, tidying railroad yards and
steam cleaning the moving parts
of locomotives
Odd jobs by the
score from filling locomotive fuel
tanks to watering passenger trains
complete the imposing list.
