Female War Workers Among Cardiff’s Busy Night Throng

At no hour of the day or night is it now possible to walk along the main streets of Cardiff without meeting women war workers. Even in the small hours of the morning they can be seen trudging through driving snow or sleet or groping their way in the thick fog, states the Cardiff Western Mail. Some of them do not get home until well after midnight. Others, such as tram conductors and drivers, set out for their day’s work soon after four in the morning. By sa.m. a large number may be seen in any part of the town walking briskly to their allotted task. Postoffice employees finishing work after midnight are taken home in a taxi', but the others cannot even get a tram ride.
