In the north west It wus neeessnry partially to "freeze" workers to tho lum ber Industry because no mnny had moved out to build ships nnd flKhlliiK plnnes. Even while wo must deprive ono wur Indus try of manpower to Keep an other in operation, wo face tho normal expectation that that 070,0(10 mandnys will be requir ed In a yenr to snuff out forest blazes, nnd thnt undermanned loKKlnK crews will hnvo to drop their axes to bent bnck the flumes. Womniipower Is tho answer to much of this need. In addition to Jobs women cun handle In flMlilluu fires, they huvo been found cnpablo of some work In snwmllls. One company reported women hud repincea aruiica men at operating a monorail, nn electric dollle, nn electric snw and other machines. Forest service official moke It clear that they do not expect women to substitute for men ex tensively In all flro fighting Jobs. Hut tho government Is encour aging women to offer for work they can do, and there Is plenty of It. Tho Offlco of Civilian De fense Is organizing, under David P. Godwin forest service's as sistant chief of flro control a forest flro fighters service. "Trl ple-F-S" soon will bo enrolling both men nnd women volunteers nnd local defenso councils will be notified when enrollment will begin. Forest service Itself has been taking women as lookout. In somo cases they team up with their husbands to watch the woods. Those interested In this paying Job should ask their near est forest ranger, but officials warn that this Is wo-k for per sons familiar with the territory.
