Find that women can do many jobs as well as men. Some jobs better. Training schools are open for women. Light metals used in aircraft are easy for women to handle. They undertake every form of shop work, even invading such fields as welding, hitherto reserved for men. Machine operations requiring patience and accuracy attract them at once. How do you like it? I love it. So great is the need that employers come to the schools to select and hire women before they complete their course. Those who wish to remain and finish their schooling. Tens of thousands of women are already at work in aircraft. More are being added as fast as they apply. This solves the breadwinning problem for many families whose men are at war. The government's policy is that women should get the same pay that men get for similar work. What do you do with your money? Save it.
