Raiders Come-- But Workers
 Stick To Jobs
BY PAUL MANNING NEA Service Stan Correspondent

A MIDLAND FACTORY, ENGLAND = The factory covers two acres. It is ringed with anti-aircraft guns, and soldiers patrol the wire fence which surrounds these two acres in which high explo- sives are manufactured.
 Two thousand girls had just filed through the gate of the enclosure and were in the locker room getting ready for eight and a half hours of work. They were the ten o'clock shift, and as they climbed into work uniforms they talked about a lot of things.
 They chattered on about the husband or boy friend they had left behind when they signed up to come to this Midland factory; the woman who managed the hostel where most of them stayed; the food she served; the dullneSS of living in a section which had no dance halls and few theaters and what 1t would be like to get away for two days to Blackpool, which has l8 theaters and three bathrooms and is England'S brightest spot. SPARK COULD WRITE
 FINS TO eOOO GIRLS
 The green monotone work clothes they changed into were supplied by the factory, just like the shoes. Both were very plain, being especially made without metal, because zip- pers on Q dress and nails In shoe can cause friction and the spark which could ignite explosive powder and write finis to the war effort of two thousand girls and ono Midland factory,
 At five minutes to the hour they all flowed onto the factory floor, and when the ten o'clock bell rang they had all settled Into their places along the production line,
 Mary Blaine and Eunice Clark son began their job of wrapping powder capsules into paper con- tainers. It wasn't hard, but 1t was dangerouS---like the Job the girls over at the opposite table were doing, picking up slivers of explosives with tweezers and lay ing them neatly into new type of hand bomb.
 For those powder capsules which Mary and Eunice were wrapping with such careful pre- cision would become, in the next room, detonator caps for land mines.
 M.ary and Eunice knew this. They had been told of the danger before they ever left their pleasant little Yorkshire town for this factory. Friends, hoping to deter them from signing up as munition workers, had elaborated in great detail Son the disfigura-

 ton of three lvcai girls who had grown careless during Q brief ifi- stant when the monotony of the job had dullea their alertness.
 But Mary and Eunice were young, and their husbandg, who are coal miners, were to be call- cd up soon. So they had signed on and come up to this city as members Nof the Ernest ~Bevin army.
 It was hard at first, moving into 6 hostel with so many other girls. But the place was clean and on sunny afternoons you could At on the lawn in back and look out over the rolling countryside and sec smoke rising from the city at one end of the valley.
 It was all very picturesque and neat and far more beautiful than the hollow in which their little mining town nestled, because the colleries In which their men worked had given an overtone of permanent blackness to every tree and every house In the res zion.
 But no matter how clean, a hostel Is a little like living in a barracks. Iron frame cots, army blankets, ten girls to the large rooms, six girls to the smaller rooms.
 Up at 5;30 6. ni., if you're on the day shift, because it takes 90 minutes to dress, eat and reach the factory and you cant miss that 2 o'clock deadline.
 You make friends quickly, for no one stands aloof, and though everything Is very friendly, the house still lS not home.
 Mary Blaine and Eunice Clark son have been working now three months ct this factory and they've always been on time. This night was no exception. They ate din- ner at their hostel with the other girls on the night shift, and then went on to work. At the factory
