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..
