THIS BUSINESS
"Humph!" exclaimed Great Aunt
Matilda disapprovingly. "So they're
talking about registering the women
folks of the country now that they're
through signing up the men!"
"And why not?" I asked. "Don't
you think victory is as important to
the women of the United States as
it is to the men? Besides, every
body I know wants to do something
to help this country win the war as
quickly as possible."
"Let them stay home. then, like
their grandmothers did." .said Aunt
Matilda, "and take better care of
their houses and families!"
"Most of us are t'oing that al
ready." I told her. "Wartime short
ages and a new sense of responsibili
ty that everybody feels since Pearl
Harbor are seeing to that. But
we'd like something more to dc ?
definite things, like belac nurse*'
aids or helping In war production ?
factories. If this registration should
t>p voluntary I believe at least 90
per cent of the women in the coun- j
try would sign up: very young one?
and old ones as well as 'hose of my
generation."
"And after they weTe signed up.
what good would it do?"
"Perhaps a lot of us Would be
called on to do factory work. There
are about 500.000 women in war
plants now. and. they say, perhaps
a millio nmore will be needed before
this thing is over."
"You mean to tell me." she de
manded now. "that you'd take a Job
in a factory?"
"Certainly, if they needed me. and
I could learo to do the work."
"That would be no place for a wo
man like you." Aunt Matilda shook
her head and pursed her lips. "You
weren't brought up to do work like
that. All that dirt and noine and
confusion . . why. you'll be fin
ished in a week."
"Aunt Matilda." 1 s?id sternly.
"h??? you been In a factory recent
ly
"No." she admitted. "I haven't."
"Then let m<' assure you. a modern
lactory is clean and well ventilated.
and no noisier than it has to be.
And th<'res no confusion about it.
Tilings move along like clockwork,
with every inan and woman doing
his appointed job in an orderly fash
ion As for the hours do you
think tliey would mean anything to
a woman who's kept her own house
and raistd thro'' babies?"
"No." Aunt Matilda admitted
"But what about the kind of people
you'd hav to work with?"
"I visited a factory just the other
;dsy and saw a lot of girls I think
I I'd enjoy knowing," I assured her.
"They wre attractive and wide
! awoke, nice lookinc in smart blue
-lacks and b< 'coming blouses. And
llir;.- were filling necessary- jobs, do
in;; essential work. That gave th?-m
a kind of poise and assurance that
I admire.
"The country is depending on in
dustry to win this war. Any woman
wlio can fit int othe industrial pat
tern. either in a noffice or in a fac
tory. should consider herself lucky.
'Since this ? a war of uischiuc^,
the people in workers' clothes who
make the machines and the weapons
are just a snecssary as the brave
young men in uniform who use
them,"

3 JAILED
Continued from Pare One
halted for seven hours: work also
had to slop at Mission Dam for sev
: en hours, and for two hours at Fon
tana. This means that thousands
: of workmen will lose that much pay.
Th? four Georgians were caught
in the act of starting one of the
fires by Forester Melchtor, who hap
pened to be driving along a Graham
County road only a short distance
behind them. They sei, the fires by
tossing lighted matches from their
car into dry underbrush lining the
road.
Melchior made no arrests, but
turned the matter over to the FBI
and a special agent was sent to in
vestigate. A a a result James Martin
confessed. The other two prisoners
admit being present, but deny ac
tually setting any fires.
The accused are an former mem
bers of COC camps, where fighting
forest fires is pert of their dut7.
Martin would give no reason for
starting the blazes, and the FBI is
still investigating, seeking a motive.
