Woman's Viewpoint— Why Women Move Slowly To War Work

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON ' Times Special Writer Our nosey Dr. Gallup has let the cat out of the bag, Ever since the news came that lack of manpower would inevitably force many more ‘housewives into war industry, we’ve been hearing reasons why they are moving so slowly from kitchen to factory. § Their reluctance to give up a sheltered existence § has’ been obvious for some time,

sons are offered. Fortune magazine says they do not feel the need to earn money, if their husbands are making plenty, while other women with men in the service draw government pay and live comfortably with relatives. Still others are fearful of regimentation and have been indoctrinated with the ides that marriage is an escape from the rigors of a business life. But it remains for Dr. Gallup and his helpers to put the spotlight on the real culprit—and again it’s good old dad. According to the Gallup findings it seems that “the number of women willing to take such jobs is greater than the number of husbands willing to permit their wives to do so.” : 8 # 8 THERE, IN A nutshell, is the little kernel of truth in the whole situation, The attitude of the men jis easy

decent American husband for generations has regarded his home as a place of refuge from a worrisome world. In it he prefers to place a woman who will tend it as a sanctuary should be tended. He wants his children to have the
