WAR INDUSTRY NEEDS
MANY WOMEN WORKERS
Instruction Offered At
State College
Raleigh, Dec. B—Failure
of enough North Carolina
women to prepare them
selves for w'ork essential
to the victory effort is
causing a serious reduction
in enrollment in training
courses financed by the
Federal government, Dir
ector Edward W. Ruggles
of the N. C. State College
Extension Division declar
ed today.
Citing the War Manpow- 1
er Commission’s edict that
the coming year will see
millions of additional wo
men required in war work,
Director Ruggles said too
few North Carolinians are
taking advantage of the j
free courses which will
qualify them for work in
war industries and essen
tial government activities.
“Women must prepare
themselves for the fast-ap
proaching period when!
they will be called on in in
creasing numbers to enter
the war production pro
gram”, Ruggles declared.
“It has got to be done. Wo
men must take a larger
role in the battle on the,
home-front. By preparing 1
themselves now, they will :
be ready to perform effi- I
ciently the duties of'the
men they release from the 1
production line and other
war work for military ser- •
vice”. 1
Ruggles said vacancies
exist in every one of the
short courses offered at
State College for men and

home at Cane River, next

i Banks have moved there.
! women desiring to train
themselves for work vital
‘to the victory program,
i The situation has arisen
(despite continued appeals
I for more non-college stud
i ents, particularly women,
to enroll and become pre
pared for lucrative jobs
offered by war industries
and other agencies literally
begging for more techni
cally trained morkers.
Some of the jobs open to
women pay as - high as
$2,000 anqpally to start.
Ruggles had a request to
day for five women to take
drafting jobs paying $135
to $l5O monthly to begin.
He was unable to fill the
request"because the hun-l
jdreds of women who have
completed the short cours-j
es at State College already j
are holding down essential
jobs.
Nearly a score of short
courses have been schedul
|ed to start in a new series
next month, Ruggles said,
urging women to write to
his office for a new bulle
tin .describing the courses,
\vhich last from 10 to 20
weeks.
All expenses of the tra- 1
ining except students’ sub
sistence and textbooks are 1
paid by the Federal gover
nment through the U. S.
Office of Education. In
most courses, high school
graduation is the only edu
cational requirement.
Courses in the new ser
ies will include aerial bom
