ration o( Jackson and Josephine
counties for a house-to-house
canvass of vocational skills of
women above the high school
age-level are being drawn in
anticipation of possible labor
shortage arising if and when
large numbers of men are called
into military service and heavy
defense Industries.
Although the door-to-door In
terviewing throughout the state
will not begin classification of
women into skilled, semi-skilled
and "trainee" groups until Feb
ruary 16, Oregon counties have
chosen chairmen and are pledg
ing the cooperation of all active
women's clubs, auxiliaries and
other organizations.
Mrs. Saidie Orr Dunbar, state
director and honorary president
of the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, is touring the
state with Mr. Francis J. O'Con
nor, assistant director, in order
to help Jackson county chairmen
organize this district. At least
24 counties already have estab
lished organizational units to
facilitate work of the Oregon
Board for Mobilization of Wom
en, and nine other counties have
dated meeting to perfect or
ganizing groups. The Jackson
county rally will be held in
the county courthouse audito
rium here on January 28, at
2 o'clock.
Commenting on the plans,
Mrs. Dunbar declared that "no
similarity exists between civilian
defense organizations and the
work of the board for mobiliza
tion of women." She explained
that civilian defense undertak
ings call for volunteer workers,
and that women called for emer
gency work as the result of the
Inventory data will be fully
paid in accordance with union
standards.
Announced purpose of the
inventory is to register the
present or past work experience,
training or occupational prefer
ences of all adult Oregon wom
en. The questionnaire, which
will be filled out In the house-to-house
canvass, groups wom
en's abilities into four main
classifications: Women 1 1 h
skills more important than the
work they are doing now; wom
en who have secondary skills
which may be developed when
needed; women who have poten
tial skills and who are willing
to be trained in vocational work;
and women who may fit into
places vacated by men called
into heavy defense Industries or
military service.
Mrs. Dunbar said that some
4,000 trained interviewers will
begin the door-todoor interview
ing February 16, and that the
inventory data for the entire
state should be collected by the
end of the month.
"If the Inventory Is success
ful, it may be used as the pattern
for other states," she said.
