American women can fight. At
the Martin Co. they are fighting
the Axis in the best possible way
All over the country millions OF
women are working in war plants
making guns, tanks and precision
parts. Just as much as the most
mechanically inclined man." Mr.
| McBee disclosed, they appreciate
that plane parts must fit to one
thousandth of an inch"
In some ways, he had said, women
were better workers than men. "In
repetitive operations. They are
marvellous this way. I suppose it
goes back to women's ability to knit
by the hour without getting bored
or careless"
Most of the Martin workers come
from Baltimore and nearby in Mary
land. They have an intense pride In
their work. Before they are taken on
but not before they have been inves-
tigated and observed, they are taken
on tour of the plant, so that they
may get an idea Of how a bomber
is built and how they contributed to
the sleek machines that will help to
win the war.
The vast majority Of the women
work side by side on the assembly
lines with the men, but upstairs in
the offices of the 1000 Martin en-
gineers there are more of these as
tonishing females. Sharing a neat
little Office, for example, are the
Misses Mary Elizabeth Miller and
Jane Hutson.

Miss Miller, a chubby girl of Is,
was the first woman engineer hired
by Martin. She was graduated from
the University of Maryland in 1888

now she's a chemical engineer spe-
cializing in finishes building
resistance to salt water, sleet,
changes in temperature, fluids like

with some asperity that OPP

reveals that this is more or

They are being drafted into

contend that instead they should
be commissioned and placed in

where eye testing and eye
examining is needed.
