As Navy Yeomanettes When Mrs. Mary Chlsholm received word last week of the death of her sister, Mrs. Belle Culllmore CloaUi tuna a l m. To lata t ouuunea aas t to Classify UM of Lenois City, Tenn. Mrs. Culll more visited her sister here sev World War Rared in 1917 Br Maud Pool Matl Tribune Staff Writer It wai a great day around Medford nma 28 yean ago when the girli flocked from telephone and telegraph offices and other business placet to lend hand to Uncle Sam'i navy. They were the Yeomanettei, and 17 of them left the comforts of their homei to accept rank alongside the sailorboys at Brenv erton navy yard. Four of these patriotic Individuals are still residing In Medford. With femi nine effort In the military and naval phases of the present war getting a good deal of attention, these women were Induced to be a little reminiscent, and have come up with the conclusion that "the WAACs and the WAVES have nothing on us!" In fact, the Yeomanettei have reason to be proud because they pioneered In the field of naval service. Great Experience "None of us would have missed our experiences for anything," said Mrs. Maude Tunnell Ed wards, public stenographer here, who was one of those answer ing the sudden and desperate call of the recruiting officer here for women to fill positions of trust in the navy, Mrs. Edwards, who served as a stenographer, and was rated as a chief petty officer, went as a secretary to a naval group on an inspection trip to Anchorage, where the navy owned coal fields. The group visited Ko- diak Island and experienced trav el by dog team. "We were shown every courtesy In the world," Mrs. Edwards said. The Yeomanettes were the first women to serve In the armed forces on an equal foot ing with the men. They were needed for clerical work and were enlisted on the basis of the salaries they received in civil life. Later they took examina tions for higher ratings. Housing Scarce They didn't find living quar ters comfortable, particularly when eight girls shared two at tic rooms at sixty dollars month between them. Food was high, and tears of homesickness came often. Some of the girls confessed wishing they hadn't taken to the ways of the navy. But they didn't let their difficul ties affect their work as Yeo manettes. Mrs. Josephine Dark Jerome, still holding the position with the Jackson County Abstract Co. which she left to become a sall orette, recalled that It wasn't all work at Bremerton. "We went to the Friday night dances at the armory In the na vy yard, and saw programs given by professional entertainers from all over the world. There was dancing, reading, and swimming for the sailors at the Knights of Columbus hall outside of the yard, and we got In on that, too," Mrs. Jerome said. Marched In Parades The girls formed a special dis play company, parading In all of the liberty bond drives, and they were Invited to the state fair In Washington with all expenses paid. They Joined rowing crews, and competed with the navy girls at University of Washing ton. Mrs. Jerome went as a typist In the supply department, and received a rating as a chief petty officer. Miss Bernlce Cameron, re tired a few years ago from man agement of the Postal Telegraph office In Medford, also left her post for the trek to Bremerton, and recalled that the girls left Medford April 13, 1917, just six days after war was declared. Miss Cameron served In the tele graph office at the navy yard, achieving a chief petty officer's rating, as did Mrs. Helen Ham mond M inkier, who served as a stenographer. Mrs. M Inkier re tired three months ago after 22 years of service with California Oregon Power company. Mrs. J. K. Hoey of this city state vice-president of Parent- Teacher association, also was s Yeomanette at Bremerton, serv' lng as a stenographer, and achieving a chief petty officer's rating. She enlisted from Ta coma. The majority of enlistees at the yards were from Portland and Eugene. Romance Highlight It would appear that romance highlighted the lives of the sail- orettes, and several of the local women married naval men. The Yeomanettes, formally listed as Yeomen (F) N. S. N. R F., were given a four-year provis ional enlistment, length of their service to depend on duration of the war. Most of the local women served two years. Besides clerical Jobs, the girls did drafting work and recruiting of other women. The Yeomen (F) had the priv ilege of transferring to civil serv ice after the war, but most of them preferred returning to pri vate life. They have full mem bershlp In the American Legion, and enjoy federal hospitalization rights. Seattle maintains an ac tive post known as Yeoman (F) Naval Post 4. The girls wore attractive blue Norfolk uniforms with white sailor blouse, black neckerchief, dark blue cape, and dark blue velvet hat with "U. S. N. R. F. on the band. Shoes were high- topped and laced, with black hose and skirt reached tight incnes rrom the floor..
