WOMEN: HEADLINE MAKERS
Women were headline-makers in 1942. It was
their year in a big way.
They whisked tradition aside to join the United
States Army, as members of the Women’s Army
Auxuliary Corps,
The first women ever to be sworn in as officers
of the Navy raised their right hand and became
Waves.
Women fliers joined up as Wafs. The Coast Guard,
not to be left behind, hustled in at the last moment
with its Spars,
In homes all over the land, women dropped dust
pan and mop to pick up the welder’s torch. For the
first time in history, they were employed in shipyards.
They turned from baking pies to making tanks and
planes and guns.
They left dishes in the sink to go on duty as air
plane spotters, air-raid wardens, and first aid work
ers. They turned their hand to a thousand and two
things they had never even dreamed of in 1941.
The year 1943 will require of women even greater
service. Thousands in uniforms will take over the
jobs of men. Thousands now in the home will go into
the factory. Thousands still in the home will scrape
along without many things they now have. What
ever the demand, women as well as men of America
are prepared to face it.—Christian Science Monitor.

"Come in!”
The voice was brisk and cordial.
They looked up in surprise. Sophia
herself had come to the door. As
they followed her into the parlor
they exchanged glances, with eye
brows lifted. Sophia was not even
in mourning.
The parlor shades
were not even drawn.
"It's nice of you to come." Sophia
said. “Do sit down.”
"We came,” Mrs. Kimball said
almost reprovingly, "to tell you that WAGE BOOST—

your great loss.”

the boss looked around. "I wanted
to say, would a dollar a week be too

about a dollar a week left. Would

“They'd be more than willing.”
the boss said quietly. "They'd be

Bessie looked relieved.
"All we have to do is scrimp a

Back in the boss’ office a repre
