She’s 23, a blue-eyed brunet, and has an engaging smile to highlight her unflagging énthusiasm. She crams her days with such excitement as there is—and with innumerable dull, routine chores that “someone’s got to do.” She never leaves the office of war information until every paper has been cleared from her desk, and that often means 7 o'clock or later.

Woman's Viewpoint—

Sees Danger

In Public Nursery Plan

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer FROM CERTAIN REMARKS by the first lady it seems we can expect soon to set out upon a program which will put mothers of small children into war industries as England has done.

In a press conference at Edinburgh, Mrs. Roosevelt was quotéd ds sdying: “The United States fdactories will be asking for women. But you won't get women into factories over night, and you won't get them in the numbers needed until you get the services established so they may leave their children.” Just what kind of services were meant is not specified, but weé can presume public nurseries, under government supervision, Before the war began we had many mothers in industry, some because they had to work, others because they preferred it to domestic routines. The trend was dangerous. Social service workers have been warning

dividual by giving it to a federal bureau. If it becomes absolutely necessary for women with little children to work outside the home, then we could mobilize our power by arranging part-time schedules for mothers—the civilian defensé group has managed to partition certain jobs according to city districts—and the same methods ought to be possible in the care of children. Mothers might double up. In every area mothers, two at a time, let us sdy, could take over the job of looking after the children of their neighborhood, and by arranging their work in shifts of three or four days a week it should be possible to release a great deal of feminine effort to war work without entirely disFifine the American home.

every possible endeavor to preserve that for which we are fighting? I hope the mothers of the country will not be too easily persuaded to accept this kind of regimentation, even in the holy name of patriotism.

The office air raid warden for OWI is Muriel Rourke. She’s cool but very busy when the alarm sounds, and she’s forceful with laggards. Admits she can boss ‘em around when she has to. Another thing that makes Muriel a 100 percénter is that she and the three other girls who share a three-room apartment, diligently save every ounce of fat left over from cooking. Miss Rourke saves most of its because her chief household job is getting breakfast for all of them— “and four hungry gals can eat an awful lot of bacon.” She also smashes tin cans for salvaging. She’s war-thrifty in other ways, too—such as never wearing stockings. Just slaps on some paint.
